Anyone up for a ‘sort yourself out’ supportive encouraging thread?

[SpringOn]

Hi,
I’m 47, feeing old. I’ve very much lost my way with style, exercise, hair, you name it.
I need to:
lose two stone
decide what to do with my witchy mostly grey hair (I’ve been growing out dark brown dye for 10 months, decided to go grey, but I feel so old! Don’t know whether to go back to dye or stay grey).
mu wardrobe is a disaster. I have some decent smart work stuff but my casual clothes are basically lairy leggings and hoodies. I am a size 20.
My house needs a good clean and de clutter
I want to grow veg and have lovely flowers in the garden

Good bits:
I have a great husband, three fab kids and a job I love
I walk the dog for about 20 mins every day

Anyone want to join for self- improvement on an encouraging thread?

Well done 👏

@Stressybetty sorry to hear you’re not doing ok. Not sleeping properly is the worst, you just feel so yuck. I hope it’s got better since you posted?

I tried the 5:2 fasting a few years ago but I got such awful headaches on the days I fasted, so I stopped. I know loads of people swear by it and get great results but I was obviously doing something wrong.
Slim fast is going ok and I’ve been doing so much more exercise than I was so that’s been good. I’ve been away for a few days staying with family so haven’t been on it and I have eaten far more than I should have but I’ve definitely lost some weight. I’ve seen photos of our family get together - I’ve got a lot more to lose. 😔

Re-setting for June goals:
Healthy/clean eating
Gym as much as possible
Exercise to include swimming too
Spend as little as possible
Drinking only if at friends to socialise
Minimal sugar/crap/junk
Minimal to zero carbs where possible

Hi everyone.

well I guess we might have hit slump time! Not sure how long ago I started the thread but I have definitely fallen off the wagon and it has disappeared into the distance 😂
I haven’t run for two weeks
eating crap again
not drinking water
had a big unexpected garage bill
got a speeding ticket - first ever. Not a bad one but I am still cross with myself!

on the pluses
up to date with my OU work
have had some lovely days with kids and family this week
house isn’t too bad
i have a haircut booked on Friday
my new clothes still make me smile

so, back on it from tomorrow
long walk with kids and dog planned
drink enough water
have a healthy dinner

Thanks for keeping it going guys. This is the hard miles!

This has been very inspiring. Thank you all. 🙂
