kelly's diary

Hey Kelly! Congratulations on the willpower to make yourself get out there regardless of the weather. I love to jog in the rain. It feels so refreshing, as if all your worries and stress are being washed away. I feel like a new person afterwards. I am actually going jogging in the rain today after work. I can't wait. Do you have big plans for the 4th??
 
Today, Tuesday, is a great example of how I can go from feeling dreadful to much better in the course of the day. Early part of day was spoiled by poor sleep. Yet, I just had my best bike ride in my short history of biking, one hour and ten minutes, saw so many sights and felt cool in my shorts. Happy mood.

I struggle sometimes. Spent an hour with a mental health worker getting coached on how to feel better by thinking better about myself. That really helped. She talked about finding "the middle ground", vis a vis relationship with Michael, who I am friends with again. We talked about men, money and sex, and she, at least, enjoyed a few good laughs. She said that I had strengths that some people will never have.

I pay attention to my mood but must pay closer attention to my thoughts and make sure they are positive. Laurel said I must stop thinking of myself as "less than..."
 
I'm happy you turned it around by getting outside and exercising Kelly. It's difficult to do at times, but I'm happy you're strong enough to dictate the course of your day. You're doing well :)
 
Hi Kelly, what I always think about when I think about people who struggle with mental health, is it's like diabetes, Multiple Sclerosis, or Lupus, they are illnesses or diseases. I admire and respect you very much for devotion to physical health because I know you also struggle to stay on top of your mental health, something most of us struggle with from time to time, but many of us take for granted. Your damn rights you have strengths that some people will never have. Because you re-commit, each day, to the whole picture, not just exercise or eating healthy, but to thinking right about yourself. I'm here to tell you, YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!!!!!
 
Hey, I had a good day today, walking to the pool for 40 minute swim, then I went for a 2 1/2 hour walk. I decided today I'm going to get my thirst up so I can enjoy drinking my water. Its getting hot out, I can spend my afternoons outside exercising. It wll keep me out of the shops.

Yeh, for more days like this. Plus I made up a new chart for my fridge for July and have a deficit today of over 400 calories.

I have reduced my intake from 15 calories per pound to 14 calories per pound.
My weight loss has slowed. Gonna see if I can get back to losing at least 2-4 pounds a month. I have high hopes for getting back to exercising 5 days a week.

Summer is here finally.
 
Sounds like a plan woman! I've also gotten back to a walk outside in the nice sunshine. Gives you such a nice happy feeling. What'll you be doing today?

Hey Kelly, I was posting tonight and I thought, where's HappyChubette! I miss you and your posts. Hope you're getting out there while the sun shines in beautiful B.C. and that you're getting some decent summer weather.
 
Dear Blancita, Cerella and Anna, I have been doing great with my eating and exercise. The last three days in a row I have cycled 25 kilometres and walked same day, just spending the time out doors. It has been so good. I hope I soon see the last of the 180s.

Am reading Soulmates: Honouring the Mysteries of Love and Relationship by Thomas More.

"The fuller soul prospers in the failure of perfection".

Coffee and sensible talk with treasured girlfriend tonight. I love her perspective.

Cycling in the morning. Its my fourth day in a row.

Oh to forget about being fat and just enjoy wearing shorts and summer top and walk about. Also enjoying anonymity vs. worrying about attractiveness. Who cares? No one is looking! Every body is busy doing their own thing.

Thank you for posting.

I'm a little in a head fog today but yesterday I was exhilarated, energized and thrilled with my cycling accomplishment. Sat out on the porch till 1 a.m. writing and unwinding. Taking it easy today but just went out for leisurely 5k walk in sport sandals, toes a bit sore, but just to be outside in the hot weather.

Head still foggy. Still using fitday. Car free day 3.

Yesterday I was certain that I am on my way to losing next installment of weight since I have discovered the enjoyment of cycling. I have found something new to do. I was in such a good mood last night after my 36kcycle ride that I walked down to the beach to stretch my legs and I almost became frightened that I was feeling a little too good. Man, the endorphins. I could have walked for miles but turned around when I met a couple from my place and walked home with them. To know that that feeling is waiting for me there anytime I get on my bike and just go, that is so reassuring. I am proud of myself. Legs get a break today but I am on my way.
 
That's an awesome feeling Kelly! I'm glad you have found and are enjoying it! Hopefully you'll see the last of the 180's this week. I'll keep my fingers crossed for ya, but as long as you keep up what you are doing, it'll happen!
 
That's wonderful Kelly!! And your exercise is doing exactly what it should be doing and that's making you feel GOOD!! YEAH!! I'm truly happy your having some good day here. I hope you have many, many more to come!! Enjoy the beach! I'm jealous!
