Last week was great, firmly back on the wagon, focused and determined and do you know what, it worked - the weight I had put on is off. So it should be easy right? Am still pretty focused, had a small slip up yesterday (400 cals for a flapjack???? it was delicious though) but am going to do this. I injured my shoulder a couple of months ago and finally went to the doctors on Monday, turns out I have a frozen shoulder, so have been referred to a physio - who knows how long that will take to come through. So in the mean time I am going to have to modify what exercise I do which is really frustrating! I already have a whole long list of don't thanks to hypermobility (most of which I ignore but ssshhhh don't tell the doc!)
I accept that I'm not going to be able to do as much exercise as I would like so I really need to keep food in check, have a trip to Mum's this weekend so it could be tough. But if I want to be where I want to be then I need to stay focused.
I would like to thank my lovely friends over on MFP who have kept me motivated and on the wagon.
And if anyone is feeling like giving up watch this clip of one of those friends Uncle who finish an Ironman despite being hardly able to walk! A true inspiration, it is not how you finish the race but finishing it that matters!
Linking up with the very supportive #WobblesWednesday ladies
I joined MFP - and then didn't use it. Perhaps I should take another look. Well done on staying focused. And we all need a flapjack sometimes! xxx
ReplyDeleteIt was very delicious!! I love MFP :-)
DeleteTamsin your my hero! you really are not only inspirational but also so supportive. I cant thank you enough for holding my hand recently and for helping me put back the multi-pack of crisps (uneaten) xx
ReplyDeleteaw thanks, anytime you are in danger give me a shout xxxx
DeleteBrilliant! Hopefully when you get Physio, they'll give you advice on exercises. Wouldn't swimming help? Xx
ReplyDeleteAm sure they will, swimming is a bit of a funny one for me sometimes I'm grand but other times the pressure from the water can cause my elbows to pop out! (I am rubbish at breaststroke and only really swim front crawl!)
DeleteI've just joined MFP. I really want to start getting more exercise and I think it might help keep me motivated.
ReplyDeleteWell done for getting back on track :)
Good luck and thanks - feel free to add me on MFP I'm tamsinf5
DeleteI used an app called Noom for a while but now I'm in more of an active routine I don't use anything. I still need to be more active though!
ReplyDeleteooh I've not heard of that, I need to get my fitbit synched and in use again to make sure I'm moving more even when I'm not exercising!
