Well, my last blog was pretty bold! So thought I would update where I’ve got to so far.
This week has been a real heavy week of work and some personal issues have cropped up too. So unfortunately things haven’t gone quite to plan. No surprise there! But I’ve still stayed positive!
This weekend I’m going to start a fresh and weigh myself on Sunday so I can get back into the routine of weighing myself every other Sunday in the month. I’m also going to do some food shopping at the weekend and get some more fresh fruit and vegetables. Great thing is both me and my husband have got into the habbit of buying and eating fresh fruit and vegetables with all meals.
I’ve started walking to and from work more often which is good! I still get the bus every now and again, but that’s when I’m carrying loads of stuff that I can’t carry (like the 8 pints of milk the other day!)
I’ll be going to the gym next Monday now and I’ll be chatting to one of the trainers there to help me with a new regime. My injured wrist still isn’t completely right, but it’s healed enough to start exercising it more which is great news!
Replacing pasta and rice with more veg has been very easy and very satisfying indeed! Also having healthier puddings is moving back in the right direction too! Having more low fat and low sugar yogurts to have with fruit is very nice and great to have in the hotter weather as it’s much more fresh!
Sugar in tea is getting there, slowly! I’m going to take some green tea into work so that I can start having that instead of normal tea and have a little bit of honey instead of sugar if it needs something to take that little bitter edge off.
As for being more headstrong against my health issues, it’s a very hard progress. I know it’s not going to happen overnight, not matter how hard I try and the physical symptoms are always there. But I’m feeling positive and I’m managing to get through each day with a bit more hope.
Nothing much else to report for the time being. But I’ve made an ok start and feel positive!

There’s so many reasons why someone would want to lose weight.
You might want to look as slim as you did years ago or for the first time in your life be a slim person, you might need to lose weight because it’s effecting your health or causing you illness, maybe you’ve decided to lose weight to look better or feel better, it could be that you can’t fit into the trend of clothing you love or want to look good in, you may decide you need a life style change and become fitter…*add your reason here!*
But you know what? Sometimes you can lose sight of your goal, and it’s very easily done. All those days of temptations and lack of motivation all add up.
Everyday, remind yourself why you’re losing weight. I know that sounds simple, but it can be the one thing that keeps you sticking to your regime and food choices.
I’m going to be 25 years old in a weeks time, I have Fibromyalgia which is a long term chronic pain illness along with other physical illnesses that I will have for the rest of my life and I’m overweight, nearly into the obese category. But the good news is, I’m married to my wonderful husband and have a lovely family. My reasons for losing weight are simple, for health and quality of life for me and my husband.
I know I’m only 24 right now, but as I get older, the pain and mobility in my muscles and joints is going to get worse, and they’re not too brilliant already. I need to lose weight so that I can be as fit and healthy as I can now, to improve my mobility so my husband and I can live as much as a normal life as possible, to go places and do things together.
For years I have tried, but never succeeded in weight loss. Proactol is giving me the aid I need to finally start losing weight and get closer to my goal of living a healthy happier life with my husband and family.
When you come across things that challenge your weight loss, things like cravings, no motivation, even things like illness, just remember that there’s always something you can do to help keep you on that road to success, and that’s where things like this site come in. Let’s face it, we all know what we need to do to get fit, healthy and lose weight: exercise and healthy eating. But we all also know, if it was as easy as that, we’d all be our ideal weight and size!
Hopefully, you’ll have picked up some great hints and tips on this site to keep up the exercise and go for the healthier eating, I know I have!

In my last post I exposed that simply eating a low-calorie diet is not all that is required to lose weight, that is a myth. Today I am going to share with you another common nutrition and weight loss myth and that is:
All You Need to Do is Exercise More
FALSE: Exercise is obviously important for your overall health and well-being, but while exercising a lot while eating junk may allow you to lose a couple of pounds, you’ll be doing nothing for your health. And, as soon as the exercise slips a little, those pounds will just be waiting to slip back on. Add to the benefits of your healthy nutrition plan by including cardio, strength training, and mindful exercise into your weekly regime.
Stay tuned for Weight Loss Myth #8, coming up in a couple of days!
