I decided to concentrate on another aspect of BC; 'Move your body'. I like walking above any other sort of exercise, hate the gym, hate going to classes, hate swimming (unless I'm on holiday somewhere hot!) and I'm not going to force myself to do something I dislike, because I know I just won't stick with it. I've been wanting for some time to include the walking in my daily activity, and have at last hit on a method to do it. I watched an item on a TV programme last week which said that you should walk 10 000 steps per day. I had bought a pedometer before Christmas but hadn't used it at all, as I didnt want to be focusing on calorie burning. So I just googled '10 000 steps' and hit on this website. It said that you need to work up to that number of steps which made a lot of sense, so since midweek I have been trying to do this, and am currently up to around 8,500 from 6,500.
I 'm really pleased, as I can fit this into my daily activity, I can easily push the steps up by extending the amount I walk around at work; walking and jogging around the hall in a PE lesson with my class; walking around the playground when I'm on duty, and walking from one building to the other on our school site. Plus if like today, I fit in a walk to town, this pushes it up even more.
Oh, and I seeme to have got back into my eating routine a bit better too!

Why is this happening?
Having a minor 'blip' at the moment. January is one of my worst times, Christmas is over, I'm a year older, the weather is crap and I am skint!
So I do know why it is happening. 'It' being the temptation to eat when I am not hungry. I'ts so annoying when I really felt I had this thing just about sorted. It's just that blind desire to eat, and it's so hard to resist at times.
Pause, pause, pause. Think..... Is this really what I want to do?
After... how does this feel,, How does this food feel in my body? Is this how I want to feel?
I know I can get over this.
AND I WONT ATTACK MYSELF FOR IT EITHER!

Happy new Year (part 2)
I just want to celebrate how wonderful it is to begin the new year without that horrible pressure of thinking you should be on a diet! Never being 'on' one means never coming 'off' one, so that feeling of guilt, pressure, depression or whatever is just not there.

Happy New Year!
As far as New Year Resolutions are concerned, I am going to continue exploring my relationship with food , and I'm hoping to make exercise more a part of my weekly routine.
