Hiatus....

Dearest Reader,

Getting up on the scale this morning really made me rethink my strategy.

How do I describe this past week? Let me try by telling y'all, that it's been a week with a little bit of "exercising old habits" - meaning: I did not get all my meals in = I didn't do the calorie check every day. Just like my dietician suggested - lighten up on the control... I've even tried a danish - DID not sit well, so had a rather unpleasant Sunday night!

This is NOT an excuse for the slim weight loss this week - it's merely a testament to the fact that I need to have control, because I for many, many years didn't. And look where it got me?!
Not having control is not good for me physically OR mentally. For many years I've just stood on the sideline and watched my life happen. It's not a question of competing against myself, it's just a chance that I can't pass up - to have the best life I can have. Like any of you!

I've had my first work-out session with a trainer at the gym. I thought starting with the "body shaping" only can bring good things to my fitness regime. It's not enough to just go for the runs or taking the occassional spin class. I need my muscular toning to be as fit as possible, when it's time for my next surgery. Also - muschles help increase the fat/calorie burning process. I know this sounds loony, but the fact is that muscular training is good for you. I've known it for years - just never been practicing it!

Something pretty interesting is coming up over the next couple of weeks - I'm signing up for the championship at my badminton club... It starts on April 11th and finals are on Saturday 30th. Should be interesting to see how far I get. I'm signing up in WD (Women's Double). I'm very excited about it...

Now to the part that some of you might not like - I'm putting the blog on hiatus... For my own sanity, I need to not get on the scale for a few weeks. Trust me when I tell y'all that I'm doing great, weight is good and overall I'm VERY happy. Just don't need the scale for a while..

However, I'll be back no later than April 24th...

Now - top-right corner!
