Round 3 - Soul

Journaling: I try and I try and I keep failing, the only thing that seems to be working
for me when I try to lose weight, is not to eat after 6 p.m. and it's hard
to stick to. First there is the discipline and I can just about do it, when
given enough encouragement, that though is hard to get by. Cooking and
then not eating is difficult if family is to have a late dinner, what with all
the delicious smells and the social aspect of it all. Encouraging the girls,
especially Sasha to finish when Mum isn\'t eating herself. So I give in &
eat for their sake, for her sake really. Anemia and her tendency to be a
vegetarian by choice don\'t go well together, she is so slight & eats like
a bird at the best of times, so her well-being is the main priority. I need
to find the balance with what I eat and how I exercise, but I am not the
sportiest person, what I do best is swim, and that is seasonal, since I
don\'t drive. I also walk in the mountains, long walks and missing lunch
but those are seasonal, too, besides limited to week-ends since the
girls come home for lunch and we live far away from beaten tracks, &
far enough for it to be impossible to come back before lunch. It's a
game of cat and mouse, since the extra weight isn\'t just the problem
of aesthetics for that I could live with, but the problem for my old back
injury. If that starts playing up, I can\'t even keep up with my exercise
walking routine. It's the worst state I have been in since 2005. I am
hoping against hope that doing my utmost best will be enough in the
end, as at the moment it's very discouraging. I seem to be holding on
to that ballast and can\'t shift it.

I used M.Godin's Cheers to 2014, Lynne Marie Hope elements, Rack and ruin by K.Winiecki, Sun Drifter by Laurie Ann, M.Martin's Someone to love, Solids v.2 by Amy Wolff, Just Jamie Seize the day, Little Butterfly Wings - Black and white, Paula Kesselring We are moving, Pink Reptile Designs Home grown and Take note, M.Martin's Love you like a love song, and Laurie Ann's Beach baby

      Fantastic journaling. Thank you for sharing. This drawing of you is absolutely unbelievable. Stunning. I'm not very sporty but i really enjoy the yogalates dvds. It's not too strenuous but if you do it regularly (like 2 or 3 times a week, I only do sections, not the whole dvd) it's actually really good for toning; and it's very relaxing, which is perfect for me as I suffer from high blood pressure and had to give up cardio and kickboxing. Hopefully it will help you. Good luck xxx
