Possible factors for the weight loss
- Longer days with more sunlight lessens the desire for Carbohydrates and comfort foods.
- Walking as a form of exercise for an hour a day.
- Finding something that gives me joy to do
- Eating more salads and coleslaw, less puddings
- Trialing the herbal extract Garcinia to see if it lessens my desire to eat (YES)
- Distracting myself with things I enjoy (writing, crochet, reading)
- Being busy doing things to get ready for Xmas (wrapping and sending parcels - a walk to do that), putting up Xmas tree and lights, baking)
- Washing walls and ceilings throughout the apartment (next; scrub carpets)
- Engrossing books to read that so involve you in the story that external things disappear
These are some of the things that brought me joy recently:
- Finishing a fourth knee rug for Hospice - made out of mohair so it is soft, light and warm. This one was larger so that a man with longer legs or wider body could use it and in darker colours so it wasn't too girly.
- Growing beautiful scented flowers, and nice vegetables to pick and eat from the containers on our front patio (purple flower is heliotrope, with a beautiful vanilla scent).
- Having unexpected visitors from overseas that you loved catching up with.
- Muscle cars, muscle cars for you to see at the carols in the square.
- Singing along with the singers at Carols in the Square last Thursday
My Goals for December:
- Lose 3 kilos
- Eat a beautiful and healthy Xmas dinner
- Enjoy my family over the holiday season
- Enjoy having my eldest daughter back with us from the 12th December
- Talking to my younger daughter as she gets to grips with her 3rd child born recently, as the others are so much older
- Be thankful for my family and friends
- Edit my Nanowrimo words into something much better, print and bind it for my daughter and her family.
