Hi guys! I hope you are all good and that if you made any resolutions or pledges that they are all going well for you so far! As some of you may know, I rejoined Weight Watchers for the millionth time two weeks ago. As well as going back to Weight Watchers, I also decided to start back exercising too, and straight after my first weigh in I headed to the swimming pool. It was then when I realised just how unfit I was and how much work I have ahead of me. Many people were quite surprised that I started so soon after Christmas especially as our Christmas was kind of non existent this year as I lost a huge part of my life, my Nana. I think people probably thought I would turn to comfort eating to try to numb the pain, and trust me, the days in between her death and her funeral, I ate more than I ever have, but it didn't numb the pain. If anything, I felt worse after eating all of the junk food. I suppose, it would have been easy enough to put off going back to Weight Watchers at least until the end of January, but for my mam and I, we both decided that enough was enough, that we could no longer go on eating the way we were. In a way, for me personally, I have decided to channel my sadness and pain into something positive; working towards a healthier ( and skinnier) version of myself. Put the pain and hurt aside, the main reason I want to lose weight is the fact that my wedding is this September, so I can no longer put off the inevitable anymore. I have to do it now, for the wedding, for my health, for the pain I am in regarding my back due to being up two dress sizes, the list of reasons is endless, and at one point in time, the list of excuses was just as long. Not anymore. I am determined to work hard and see results. Last week, my original plan was to tell you all how my first week went and to explain a bit more about Weight Watchers, however, last week I felt really sick. I had a thumping headache, I had a sick stomach and I felt very weak. I thought at first it was my body reacting to the lack of sugar and chocolate, which to be honest it probably did contribute to how rotten I was feeling, however it turns out I was dehydrated! To be honest I never drink enough water, however when I started exercising I knew I had to drink more water, which I did, it turns out I just wasn't drinking enough. As a result, exercise went totally out the window and I spent most of last week in bed, which sounds a lot nicer than it actually was! I'm still not a 100% this week, but I am a good bit better than I was. Despite feeling unwell, I was still very good food wise. I still pointed everything, even the chocolate and bread that I ate, it was all still pointed! My weigh in day is usually on a Tuesday however, after having a bit of an up and down week I am going to a weigh in tomorrow instead. Although I pointed this week, I am afraid that the scales won't be in my favour as I wasn't able to exercise. Despite that, I have made a promise to myself that no matter what the scales says that I will take it on the chin and start a fresh new week. Unfortunately week 2 did not go to plan, however I am still determined to stick to it. So I will fill you in on what the scales says tomorrow! I am going to also put up a list of my top tools that help me throughout my weight watchers journey in the next few days, so if it is something you would be interested in, watch this space! Until then, I hope you all have a very good week and I will talk to you soon. Love as always, Em X
