Cleansing of the mind

Hi everyone :-)

I have read some truly inspirational blogs this morning and have come to realise that this weight loss journey is also in a sense a cleansing of your mind. There are so many fears , insecurities still holding me back and I am sure I am not alone here in that. I read Karens blog and for some unknown reason I cant leave a comment.... but I just wanted to say that I have that quote as a fridge magnet just I ve never taken the time to try and live by it. I understand what you mean about the bike Karen as I have often thought about getting one myself and riding with my girls but have held back because I think to myself that ppl will say gees she needs to ride more often.You have certainly given me a lot to think about as well as Suzy, and Jak's posts always find them inspirational... as I do a lot more recently with Lee-annes posts as well. I dont read that many blogs...know I should as everyone is wonderful in their own way of dealing with this weight loss journey.

I have been back into the full swing of things with my exercise..... have done 2 1/2 hours everyday so am really happy with that. I have even managed to do those arm exercises everyday in the hope that my arms will tone up at least a little bit.

K well I hope everyone has a great weekend, good luck with your weighins Karen and Jak ( hope I can comment soon on blogs).

Take care
Love Emixxxxxx

Get yourself a bike. Don't worry about what others may think or say. They are so much fun and a great change of exercise. (not that you aren't doing so much already - 2 1/2 hours!).

My goodness 2 1/2 hours a day. All of a sudden I feel very tired. Just kidding. You must be feeling on a high. Thats an amazing achievement. I'm doing the arm exercises too, cause that is definitely an area I want to tone up as well.

Have a great weekend Emi. Take care of yourself.
