Petals diary

Thanks LaMa . I have it limping along so hope it just keeps going until,plumber arrives . Couldn't find my diary it was so far down Lol .
Had a lovely day yesterday . I cooked a roast beef dinner , watched a block buster movie with my daughter , wrapped all the gifts , pottered about and did chores .

Today I need to be up early as I cook for some people who don't really cook for Christmas and then we deliver it . Will also visit inlaws too .

I mentioned on LaMa diary that I'm not restricting myself diet wise at the moment . I have found a great book about this concept and I have read up as far as Day 1 so far . I like it . I am not going to start the actual Day 1 until January 2 or 3 and I will tell you why . Day 1 says no tv . But right now my family all here and it's movie galore . Each day I have a task to do . Will keep you posted .

We have lots of healthy food bought in for the holidays although we go to my sisters tomorrow. . Merry Christmas everyone . Have a fun time
 
Be sure to keep us updated on your new book! Lots of healthy food for the holidays sounds great; it´s so helpful when the house isn´t filled with crap.
 
I'd love to hear about your new book, too. I've been experimenting with not recording calories and so far it isn't working for me, and I may have to go back to calorie counting. So it would be great to learn how people do without that.

That's so nice of you to cook for other people who don't cook!! Hope you have a wonderful time with all your guests! Merry Christmas!!!
 
Thanks all . We had a lovely day , couple of days actually. Went to my sister yesterday and yes we ate too much but not vastly . Played board games which was fun and chatted lots . Christmas Eve we did some visits . It was nice .

Yes I will log here when I start my new book . I'm kind of following it in my head or at least keeping it at the back there. Didn't take home any food from my sisters like desserts etc which we would normally but was easy to say no .

That sounds really pleasant. Overeating a little some of the time is fine, if you ask me (which you didn´t, I know :p ), especially if your body remembers it and then naturally has you eating slightly smaller portions the next day to make up. Which is apparently something naturally thin people do automatically.
 
Hi Petal! Glad you had a nice holiday, and wonderful to hear you are having an easy time saying no to taking home sweets! Hope you get nice internet soon so we can catch up and get to check in more often. I am hoping we can get to our goal weights this year together and figure out how to maintain routines to stay there!!!
 
It sounds like your Christmas was an enjoyable one, Petal. Seeing family, without stress sounds good. Here's to 2019 xoxo
 
Thanks ladies . As I’m off work this week it’s relaxing but it’s going too quick for me . Thursday already .
But so happy to see back of 2018. It was for me a hugely emotionally year I lost 2 friends one I loved very much . I can definitely say hand on heart that for the past few months I shed some tears perhaps every day and same for the beginning of the year. Probably cried for half the year . Not that anyone knew really . No wonder my weight all over the place . But I’m hoping now 2019 will be a good year. Feel positive
 
Well instead of napping I did a workout only 30 mins and it helped, dressed up then and went to meet my friend and spent the afternoon catching up with her. Although I have not overeaten hugely I feel I need a bit of a detox.

Have exercised now for 2 days in a row so feel I’m getting back slowly to that zone. Generally I’m feeling anti social but pushing myself to be a little social. Today is housework , laundry , walk , bit of shopping and hopefully visit at least one person .
 
Ugggg internet is pure crap couldn’t get on last coup,e of days. Just wishing everyone a happy new year . Bye bye 2018
 
I hope you get great internet and we can be there more for you and get to hear how things are going!!! I'd love to do some sort of daily check in with you in the future to help us get into the daily exercise habit. Even if we only do 10 minutes a day, just to get a good routine going!

Happy New Year!!
 
Hi Petal! Happy belated holidays! Don't know how well I'd deal with crap internet ... may 2019 bring you strong internet connections! Good work on the exercise. Makes me feel so much better when I am exercising.
 
Finally back in but I got that German website again this morning so I don't know. Well I'm starting that new plan today and today's task is no tv . Which I assume means no cheating and watching you tube etc !!!! Lol . The idea is that I will do something different in that time frame where I might watch tv .

Yes Marsia a daily check in be good and it might encourage me to exercise more.

Jenni we are supposed to be getting better internet soon. Fingers crossed .
