I am happy to say that I am no longer sick, and in fact, I am feeling loads better - both mentally and physically!
These past few days have been about small changes for me, that can make a big difference! This started on Friday at morning tea ("Cookie Club") at work. I went along with my bottle of water and nectarine and didn't touch the food! I didn't feel like I was missing out and was quite happy to sit there (when normally I just couldn't have resisted, nor stop at one...) without having anything - a small victory for me!
I am also happy to be back into exercise - going to the gym yesterday felt like a breath of fresh air. It is amazing how the endorphins kick in, even when I don't feel like exercising - I know I will feel better for it!
I have always had a problem with snacking in the evening, often when not even hungry! So, I have to always be concsious of what I am doing after dinner - I find, keeping my hands busy helps and have taken to brushing my teeth earlier so that no food can make it to my mouth!!
The next thing I need to work on, is early morning exercise...eek! I am not a morning person and usually get up at the last possible minute I have to in order to get ready for work and go. I even eat brekkie at work (because I need an hour or two before I can eat)! So, I would like to get into the habit of either getting up and going for a walk with my dog before work, or getting a gym session in before work once or twice a week...we shall see!!!
Now that daylight savings is upon us, I intend to start biking to and from work again and am loving the lighter, warmer evenings already!
