Now that could make my life sound bleak and it isn't but when Alex left home - for all that I was delighted that she was off to University - it was like losing a limb - we were together a lot!
So I need to get on with life and stop dreaming and wondering where Alex is, what she is doing and what she will become.
So I need to crack on and get motivated to lose this weight and feel better about life in general.
So how is my Weight Action Plan going? Very well. On Friday we were given - according to age, weight and height, the number of calories we would need to have a day to lose 1lb each week - that is with no exercise. Mine is 1600 a day and that is fairly generous for me, having tried to stick to 1000 which has proved a wee bit tough!
Yesterday we had a good day - ate out at lunch time and went for a nice meal in the evening - think I just about came in on target. Where they get stretched slightly on weekends I can pull back in the week to 1200 or even 1000 per day to average it out. Calorie counting makes good sense to me coupled with moving more.
The task of reducing 'sit down' TV and lap top time in evenings is a positive one - to keep it below 4 hours should be very possible. I really want to be moving more at home to get the house in order. Spring cleaning time is coming up and our house needs some serious de-cluttering and cleaning. So I need to use that evening time - even 1- 2 hours moving around doing things - and not nibbling.
So how will I keep this going and make some real progress in losing weight? I will envisage what I will look like (have my size 12 photo out already), how I will feel and what clothes I can wear - that is good stuff. We have also booked out holiday for June and are about to book a special week in Scotland for December so I will keep having things to look forward to.
So - it is nearly lunch time and I have had around 150 calories so far so have plenty left - and I am on my third glass of water......now this is great for me! See you later.
