Nsv Turning Crappy Days To Happy Days

[Aussiegirl 580]

This journey is definitely a learning experience and I keep learning and seeing new possibilities.

Having what I would say is a less than great day at work, frustration, moodiness (me and others), TOM and just feeling like things are not in the best place.

So this morning, I felt the need for a pick me up...went for the chocolate (alcohol would have been preferable but it was 10am), had 2 bites and that was enough to take the edge for a bit. Not wanting to succumb to the food hunger, had a tea and went to the gym to work out some frustration...a healthier way to deal with stress.

Anyway at the gym, i tried (have been slightly attempting for a while) to do a sit up. I have never done a sit up (i dont even remember doing this as a kid). And all of a sudden I COULD!!!! It felt easy and simple, like i should have been doing it for years....my body just decided that it could.....score, definitely a fist pump, blog moment ))))))

For lots of people the action of doing a sit up is nothing but to me it is huge!! And it another one of my physical goals that I have achieved.

FYI I am stalled right now with another 30 or so pounds to go...but when I have these kinds of wins, the weight doesnt seem as important.

tonibugg, they will come and really quite frequently, the trick is realise them and be proud of yourself for them

Great job! Both for realizing that you were in a bad place and making a better decision than eating junk, AND for being able to do something physically that you couldn't do before!! It's a great feeling!!

Keep rocking that sleeve! You'll be at goal before you know it!!
