Don’t
wait for things to get easier, simpler or better. Life will always be complicated. Learn to be happy right now. Otherwise you’ll run out of time and start
nothing…
Today
is your day to start fresh, to eat right, to move a little more and to live
healthy and be proud because you’re focusing on making healthy habits for real
life, because real life isn’t always easy but you can survive it!
Yeah
the above is so true, I had a truly restful day yesterday, I was asked on
Facebook by someone “How do you keep going on so
little sleep?” The truth is we either keep going or give in and I ain’t
doing that! For me everything is harder
when I’m tired, I have always been one of those people who doesn’t function
well without sleep and I like a lot of sleep, I’ve always gone to bed early
9ish and slept straight through till my alarm at 5am most nights so these
shorter and interrupted nights are telling on me but honestly not as bad as I’d
expect.
Helping me are the healthy habits I already have in
place, drinking water, eating good food, walking Alfie, knowing that rest is almost
as good as sleep. I am so glad I’ve
slowed down my life a little, I know I’m still busy but this time last year, I
was a whole lot busier.
Yeah busy is okay as long as you’re enjoying it, I nipped
over the doctors yesterday for my blood test results and they weren’t there
still, she said they weren’t, to which I asked if they were but the doctor hadn’t
looked at them yet, this was the truth, when I asked when he might get round to
that she said ‘he usually does that over the weekend’, so this doctor who I
regular pass on his way to and from work because he parks in my street is
arriving at work at 7.30am every day, then I see him leave when I’m returning
some nights so anytime between 7 and 8ish, then he’s working from home at the
weekends. When’s he living? We shouldn’t only be enjoying life when we
have a week off for a holiday! Crazy
world that is.
If you could give one piece of advice to your younger
self and also to your future self, what would it be? Would it be the same thing or two different
pieces of advice? Mine would be to my
younger self, “you have a cracking body, appreciate it now because all those
things you hear people talk about will at some point happen to you, you will end
up in glasses and get out of bed like gollum, you aren’t invincible, so enjoy
everything you’ve got for as long as it lasts!” To my future self, mmm that’s a toughie, here
goes “If you haven’t already, stash up on that wine, then when you’re
housebound at least you’ll have supplies!”
Anyway, what did I eat yesterday – priorities ;) I had
avocado on protein bagel with a slice of bacon all crispy and cut up and some
sweet chill tomatoes, so good. Loving
the baby avocados because they’re a perfect 5SP portion, 11SP total for the
meal. I also had some sushi for
breakfast (odd I know) and a chicken sarnie for tea. Posting my pics on Instagram @bev_ww https://www.instagram.com/bev_ww/ and

really helps me think about my meals, sadly I was attacked at 7.45pm by a
packet of Walkers cheese and onion, it happened around the same time that mom
turned into a narky cow, and just to show her as she left the room and headed
upstairs I stole another packet and ate them before taking up her meds. That showed her didn’t it, 8SP wasted, they
were too because I wasn’t in a happy place when I ate them so they were just
inhaled, didn’t even touch the sides.
She’s okay again this morning, she only got cranky over
telly stuff, she can’t keep up with stuff and it frustrates her, hell it would
frustrate me too if I was in her shoes.
Can you imagine sitting there looking at images on a screen, not being
able to understand them because they talk so damn fast and quiet and you’re not
sure if that person is the same as before or it’s changed. It must be proper rotten!
Which is why today, I’m going to try and get her either
in the summer house or we won’t turn the tv on until later, she’s okay most of
the time but after too long it goes downhill.
Anyway, its Saturday today got my lovely morning meeting
to enjoy then I’ve got a blanket to carry on stitching together before I can
start the border. I’ve got lots I can be
doing but whether I will we shall see because I don’t want my whole life to be
on a timetable, I want to do nothing a lot.
Here’s to having a very great day,
looking for the smile moments (don’t just look for them, acknowledge that they’ve
happened and better still make a note of them, if you don’t want to carry round
a little notebook, use the notes on your phone to do it – ooo that’s what I’ll
start doing, I always have my phone with me), Oh and carry on focussing on
creating those healthy habits for life.
