This week I managed to make it to the gym 5 times – and I spelt the word FOCUS on the board. That word, partially written, made me show up for my work-out. My friends joined in and that made it fun as well. It’s always good to be connected with others when you are on a journey I think.
However there were moments when my focus wavered. I discovered that Co-op had Cadbury chocolate bars on sale – and they were
CHEAP! CHEAP!! CHEAP!!!
Instead of focusing on “less calories in!” I ended up focusing on how I could get the most calories for my buck – and I have to say that I got a lot of them and they were good. However, looking back on this week, that little shift in focus came with a price – as did every shift of focus. Maybe I could have lost 2 pounds this week instead of 1.
Here’s to next week and a renewed focus on what calories am I introducing to the weightloss equation.
Have a good week!

To the gym 5 times – wonderful accomplishment!! I had a really hard time working out with any kind of consistency before, so this business of doing knee rehab exercises 4 times a day is getting to me!
But on the other hand, Hedy, you are creating a habit that you could build on after the rehab is over! I hope it’s healing well!
