This will be a short post on the progress I am making with my 12wbt.
This week, I don’t feel I have made any progress.
I have not run much and have discovered that eating chocolate and ice-cream late at night messes with my head and my sleep… Therefore I am feeling fat and frumpy and completely unworthy of being able to contribute anything to the 12wbt group… Hmph….
I have been back in the classroom this term, and it has been tough… Getting three children and two adults up and out the door by 7:45am has proven to be really intense. I have managed it quite well all term, but, I think the wheels fell off and I have been just clinging onto togetherness for the last week or so.
Next week, I am on holidays. I will be able to run my little heart out and eat really well and see those damn scales go down. I have already had to reconcile that I won’t be at my ‘Goal Weight’ by my birthday, am aiming now for the end of June… I just need to focus and commit more… Sigh.
I had also planned to stop ‘doing’ Weight Watchers and do it on my own. But, in reality, I need the discipline. I really do. I need to track, weigh and measure and FOCUS on the goal… I am also going to start following a running program {which Mr Cool (aka Marathon Man) has been telling me for weeks but I may or may not have been too stubborn and proud to actually do) I need to be pushed harder than I am pushing myself.
So… there is my progress, which is a lot of thinking and not much action – typical B style!
I am keen to see what other linker-in-er-ers have been up to… Hoping some of their awesomeness rubs off on me.

Well, I personally think you’re looking great! But I can absolutely relate to the getting-everyone-up-and-out-of-the-house-early dramas. It’s exhausting! As for the running…I think I need to push myself much harder too. I’ve done three gym classes this week and each of them has pushed me so much harder than any of my runs this year. This weekend I plan to do at least one run that has me waking up in a bit of pain the next day!
Thanks Jodie…
I am so inspired by how you are focussing on your running! I really need to get my stuff sorted so I can at least finish this thing!
I too have discovered that late night chocolate binges are a. not good for sleep and b. not good for the scales.. Who knew?? Enjoy your holidays next week and hope it gives you the time and energy to get back on track.
Hmmm… I don’t think I BINGED {insert ever so slight defensiveness} on chocolate… I never have it, so even one or two pieces injects way too much sugar into my system….
I really need to get back on track – for my own head space if nothing else!
Thanks for leaving a comment, I really appreciate it. Hugs,B
Anytime you attempt to improve your little corner of the world it is commendable. The life of a “working” (we all work) mother is always intense. My daughters are out of the house now and I have moments yet that I have flashbacks to the days you are experiencing now. Enjoy something everyday – do something only for you and quit beating yourself up over your “goal weight”. Work towards healthier and happier and you will achieve your expectations. Give your family love and joy and the same for yourself. Enjoy B!
Great advice Julie…. I am working towards being healthier, but I am also a die hard Weight Watcher, so goal weight is the dream.
Thanks for the dose of perspective, always welcome.
Mwah,
