Question of the Day:
Let's talk about your "ah ha" moment. When do you recognize that you needed to make a change?
Do you have something motivating you to reach the finish line?
My original "Ah ha" moment was a long time ago. My boyfriend at that time cheated on me and blamed me because I had put on so much weight for his behaviour. I was really unhappy then and decided that the one thing I could change was my weight. Stupid me stuck with that guy for another year until I realised that he was not worth it. By then I had lost quite a bit and it actually felt good to dump him when I looked so much better than when we started to go out. I continued losing weight and got to the weight that I now consider my goal weight (then I thought I was still too fat because I had a bunch of girlfriends who just were naturally thin). It was really amazing how that changed my life and my character. I became much more self-confident around others. Every time I put weight on after that I always got to a point where I was just really unhappy and then it usually kicks in that I remember how I managed it then and that I shoudl be able to get my act together again and lose those kilos.
Bonus Question: name your favorite video game 'bad guy'.
I am not a video game person at all. The only video games I ever really enjoyed were the Monkey Island adventure games. I had to look it up, but the villain there was called LeChuck, so I guess he is my default favourite video game bad guy.
Or, you can talk about planning for your upcoming Disney trip!
I'm sure some of you have a 180+10 food reservation coming up
Ha! Do you want me to bore everyone with my Tokyo plans??? No 180 days food reservations there though. I still need to figure out restaurant reservations there... Looks like I need to call as online reservations are in Japanese only.
Question of the Day
What new thing are you going to try this week as part of your lifestyle change?
Will you try a new food? A new exercise? A new approach?
Will you wake up earlier and exercise before work? Will you make meals in advance?
The week is already two days old. But I just decided that my new thing will be to try one of those 7 minutes apps with short exercise videos. My neighbours were recently talking about this and it sounds like something that is easy to do and will give me at least a little bit of exercise every day.
Bonus Question: What new thing do you want to try on your next Disney trip (any park!)
Ha!! What about three new parks! But actually, I will be in Florida before we are in Japan and China. I am planning to try the new restaurant at the Wilderness Lodge. It should open a week from now and I am looking forward to see some of the new stuff being done there. I own DVC at VWL, so it is always interesting to see what has happened to my home resort!
