Day 2 – Cumbria UK – NFD
Went to my aerobic class this morning – our teacher calls it “Happy Hour” – she has a good sense of humour!!
It will be interesting to see how my sore knee reacts this week – last week after my first aerobic class for 3 months, it ached for 3 days then felt much better (I had a knee cartilage tear and a subsequent hamstring strain to my left leg just before christmas and it has taken ages to get to this a stage – very frustrating!!)
I then volunteered for 3 hours servicing tea/coffee at a funeral at the local Parish Centre – we must have served about 200 cups – that’s a lot of washing up afterwards……….
136 have signed up so far but not everyone has posted for Day 1 as yet! – I’ll update the spreadsheet at the weekend and will try to publish it next week if I work out how to do it!!!!!
@bert1802 – I’m definitely not trying AVC…….LOL. btw love your insightfulness – hope some new to this WOL read that post (top of page 8)
@biddiev – at least you know where your MOJO is – somewhere good!
@maui, @jo glynn, @suemullins27@msn.com and @notmyrealname – Welcome – never too late to join and as you know if you are having a bad day this is a good place to offload and get some great support x @jo glynn – read my first post on Page 1 to give you helpful advice
@lynzm – good luck with your B2B today – keep focused!
@anna Sophia – Don’t punish yourself and as @pashaw said there’s still time to pull today back – we all have bad days but the main thing is to pick yourself up and remember why you started this WOL – tomorrow is another day – stay positive and I recommend what I call distraction therapy when struggling on a FD e.g. go for walk, read a book, ring a friend for a chat, drink a cup of hot water with lemon …..you get the idea……
@fatrabbit – what a great day you had yesterday on your NFD
@jarbia – good to hear you have such positive vibes for this month
@sarah57 – I took early retirement 3 years ago and have never regretted it – there is so much to do and enjoy and the work/life balance stresses are no more!
@schatziii – until you are fully aware of how many calories you are eating it is probably wise to keep counting but you could use other tricks like using a smaller plate or bowl to eat your food from – this will automatically cut down on the calories you are taking in – also no snacking between meals make a huge difference – good luck
@lew – HAPPY BIRTHDAY – Celebrations are totally allowed – that is why we follow this WOL
@cboz – you made the decision to move for a good reason no doubt and you are stronger than you think and remember that your new place of work is lucky to have you join their team! You have got this!
@lindasue – HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU – sounds like you are having a fabulous time and how lovely to be appreciated by your boss and family
@deepash52 – are you joining us? Welcome – Are you new to this wOL? Read my first post on page 1 of this forum giving details of how to sign in to make it easier for me as host to collect information
Goodness me that took me a while to catch up!!! Sorry I can’t answer every post but others are chipping in nicely and very helpfully answering queries and provided encouragement which is what this group is all about – TOGETHER WE ARE DEFINITELY STRONGER
Some new to the forum are yet to sign in – I will update the spreadsheet on Sunday hopefully and remove anyone who has not signed in but they can always be added in if they change their mind…..
I’m off to get ready to meet some good friends for a lovely meal out helping one of the couples celebrate their 54th wedding anniversary – how amazing is that!
