Another week, another loss...

Hey folks,

Don't have a lot to tell this week- other than another week has come and gone. Which is good of course.. :o)

I've had thoughts of trying out foods that are not too sensible to the life I want to live, but haven't done anything about it. I end up thinking that it's not worth it and I don't really care for that kind of food anymore. While visiting family I tasted a little bit of a homemade cinnamon bun (made them myself) and also ONE tortilla chip with cheese and salsa...and you know what? It didn't really do it for me. Actually, I felt a little bit bloated and uneasy afterwards...so what's the point, right?

Like I told you earlier this week I caved on the non-shopping-deal I've made with myself. Still - I've stuck the my budget and only spent the amount I've set for the month of February, so I'm quite proud o myself! I haven't done the math on what I've spent in total, but I have not exceeded my budget on the food and transport account...which was my focus. I think I'll take on the month of March too.. Seems like a good thing to be more aware of where my paychecks go.. :o/

I was back on the treadmill yesterday - after nearly a week off of it.. It felt good. I feel stronger every time I get on it.. It's a great feeling and it inspires me to do more and better each time. I've gotten good at listening to my body and will not push it over the edge, but I also give it a little extra on the pace button. I need to, otherwise I will never get into the shape that I'm aiming for. It's not just about what I want my body to look like, it's more about being in shape and feeling good. That's why I'm overly thrilled to be starting up on my badminton again on Friday. It's been about three years since I held a racket in my hand - it's about time, eh?!
When you're trying to lose weight, it's extremely important that you find an exercise that makes it fun for you. Otherwise you won't put in the work that makes the pounds shred off of you. I've been in that place soooo many times where I've been thinking "what am I doing here??"...and then I've moved on to something that really gets me going. And that is running, spinning and badminton. It's not just exercise for me - it's a competition, it's a I-wanna-win-situation - every single time! Nothing wrong with that.. ;o)

There's a small, but very significant weight loss this week. You'll see why by clicking on the link in the top-right corner..

Have a good week!
