I wanted to loose weight too and am feeling pleased with my progress so far. I trained to become an NLP Practitioner in the autumn and during the training we had to work on something we would like to change. I didn't think the woman I worked with understood, because she kept focusing on exercise and I have no wish to go to a gym or loose weight this way. However, from that moment my thinking changed and foods that are unhealthy no longer had appeal. In 3 weeks I lost 10lb and while I still have the occasional meal that I like rather than what I feel I 'should' have, I relaxed over Christmas and have lost over a stone. I am 2lb from my initial goal and have booked a hot stone massage as a 'well done' to myself. I am now setting myself another 7lb goal. <br />Having different mind set has made all the difference as I have Christmas food around and find it quite easy to remind myself that there are healthier options. I am drinking lots of water and herb teas and as a Christmas present to myself and my daughter I have booked a spa weekend at the end of this month in Sussex. I am planning to treat myself to a new swimming costume nearer the time and am stepping up the loss so that I can feel good in it. <br />Good luck with your own intentions. Going out with your friend on a Wednesday is a good idea, it should be enjoyable and trying to keep up with your other friends who are more fit might make it less so. Here's to a healthier us and enjoy some nice walks.Sandiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12558786621283350776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734193338502038294.post-14199394025038340642017-01-06T20:01:41.589+00:002017-01-06T20:01:41.589+00:00I think writing it down is quite a good idea.

I so like to walk, but unfortunately Mr Man is not a walker at the best of times although this last week I have motivated him to mall walk before it gets crowded - trying to keep up my 10,000 steps a day. Good luck.Patio Postcardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04491809927236242223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734193338502038294.post-59130398766109327752017-01-05T17:51:08.885+00:002017-01-05T17:51:08.885+00:00Walking's great - it's the getting up and ...Walking's great - it's the getting up and out of the front door that I seem to find difficult! You and I are of a similar mind tho - as it happens I yesterday finally got round to browsing walking groups in my area and found one or two which look promising. I have scribbled their next ramble into my diary and if I like it, plan to join and go once a month. Always more fun in company so good you now have a date for regular walks. And you got a pic for the WPSH too!Lady Ellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17050899813793376037noreply@blogger.com
