1st March 2017
Please grant me coffee to change the things I can, and wine
to accept the things I can't.
Champagne breakfast anyone? I'm tempted, I haven't got to go to work till
half four tonight... Why? Have I not mentioned, I went Dry for Dementia
in February :) well it's only the First of March which means I can enjoy a big
glass of red wine later and my word I'm looking forward to it, I really am, I'm
chuffed though because we've raised such a lot of money, I'm overwhelmed by
peoples generosity, people who don't know me directly have left messages on my
justgiving page as they follow mom and me on Facebook, how lovely is that! Our total online donations are £1,411.50
including the gift aid and I have over £600 to pay in at home so we've already
SMASHED £2k and that's before Saturdays Tea Party, wow, that's incredible isn't
it, I have a feeling with the fund matching for Saturday from Barclays we're
gonna end up with a very nice total indeed!
Make sure you bring your pennies on Saturday for the cake, raffle and
other bits and bobs we have planned and if you can't make it there's always the
blue collection tub in my meeting or you can still donate online https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/timeforacuppa
or by text by texting DRYF47 £1 to 70070 (change the £1 to any amount of
course).
Right back to everything else in the world, I had the best
egg, beans and chips ever yesterday, it was the first meal I'd enjoyed in a few
days if I'm honest, I've had a few days where I've just not been feeling the
food love at all, which is quite unlike me, but lunch yesterday was epic, I
think we can now safely say I have my appetite back, although my tea tonight
will most likely just be a big glass of red before bed!
Lent! Not religious
if I'm honest and after what I've just done for a month, not a big fan of
giving anything up! I'd rather my
members take something up, I liked a few of the suggestions when I suggested it
in my group yesterday, one was for each day of Lent, fill a bag (any size) with
things you no longer need/use and donate to charity - give up clutter! One member is going to take up the plank
challenge and another will be doing a random act of kindness each day - I like
these, I'm tempted to spend a few minutes each day sorting my office, I'm not
promising though as I've just had a month of having to do something and I don't
want another month of having to do anything.
I was a right clumsy mare last night, the dumb dog was sat
under the coffee whining and he wouldn't come out, so being a moron, I decided
to try and find what he was crying at, got on the floor and started to go under
the table when a hot mug of tea tipped over and went all over my head and
face. I will just say OUCH and you'll
understand, luckily no lasting damage but I'd just like to point out a glass of
red wine has never hurt me in this way!
See drinking tea bad for you, drinking red wine good :)
I need to get my routine back, I've stopped planning my
shopping and meals again, yesterday I had a £40 food delivery just because I
wanted pancakes and jif lemon for mom!
20 cartons of milk to make up the £40 - that's ridiculous! I still don't have stuff I could do with but
I hadn't got time to think. I will do
that today, spend some time, looking at what I have and what I need. I'm getting cocking cos I've got down to my
pre Christmas weight, I've got to be careful now, as I do still want to lose
some more to get back to where I should be, summer shorts to fit in and as
today's the first day of spring, that gives me roughly 12 weeks to make a
difference. Remember it takes 4 weeks
for you to notice a difference, 8 weeks for friends and family and 12 weeks for
the rest of the world. That worked for
me when I got back on it back in Sept/Oct and I plan to continue that success,
I lost 11lb (which is the weight I'm back too now) so here's to getting another
11lb off - there I've put it in writing, that's always the hardest bit for me,
putting a number on it. Another 11lb and
I'd be proper chuffed, I'm already happy with me, but 11lb off would mean my
shorts fit, I'll be ready for sunshine and the odd lager :)
Happy Wednesday BeYOUtiful, here's to a great day!
