So the dreams and aspirations bucked up and got into gear after my last post on Monday mid afternoon. I hit the gym for 3 days straight; pumped it like I never pumped it before!! It let go of all the tension I had been feeling over the weekend and I guess the weekend was the wake up call I needed!!
Hit WW on Tuesday with a little feeling I had lost something but wasn't too sure. Surely the gym on Monday and Tuesday before I had gone had something to show for? The nerves, dread and excitement were palpable on the lead up and when I hopped up on the scales. My leader Trish asked how the week went and I briefly told her I was bold from Thursday onwards. She smiled at me and then turned to tell me I had lost 1 and a half pounds!!! For the first time in ages I felt so proud of myself! The meltdown on Sunday about being so over weight had kicked me up the wobbly bum and got me going!! In reward I received a sticker for my Christmas tree which has 14 balls (one for each pound we lose). I picked a calming blue sticker. I didn't get a chance to stay at the meeting as my family were visiting unexpectedly but that was the buzz I needed to keep me going for the week!
It's Thursday now and apart from focusing on the gym and my weight I've decided to be that little bit stricter on myself in order for positive thoughts to engulf my mind. Therefore, I have set out a timetable for myself for every day for this week and next week. I am covering the main things to keep on top of everything such as the gym, washing the clothes, etc. It has really helped and I would really recommend it to everyone to get organised!! I was always an organised person; bills paid, everything in it's right place but a lot of daily routines went astray. I used to put things on the long finger and then spend a whole week trying to get on top of it. For example; I managed to get all my washing done, car hoovered, room hoovered and cleaned, books organised and food diary planned for the next few days until the weekend. Why? Because I'm teaching this evening and I am hitting straight home on Friday for the choir festival. I even shocked myself by realising I wouldn't have gotten a chance to do it if I didn't do it last night!!
School is going great at the minute. Planning to get all my notes up to date at the weekend so I don't fall behind there. I always seem to let my personal life thrive and my work life turn in to hell or the other way around the past year but as of this week I am turning a new leaf. I have more of a clue about what I'm doing with Learning Support and Resource this year so why not thrive at it?!
I hope this blog has been some sort of inspiration for my non-blog supporters. If there is none of ye out there then it'll be an inspiration to myself!
Key to a healthy mind is ORGANISATION and a DREAM to do it all.
Thanks Walt Disney for the inspiration and thanks to my meltdown for the kick up the arse!!
Lets continue to kick the brick wall down! :)
