Wide awake at stupid o'clock!

Thursday 23rd September 2021

Know who you are, what you want, what you deserve & don't settle for less!

Thursday already, how quickly has this week gone...  I've woke up just after 3 and haven't been able to go back to sleep, thankfully I went to bed early so I've had almost 7 hours.  I was tired yesterday afternoon so chilled and watched tele, Alfie walked me a good hour, he was proper on a mission, it was warm too, but that didn't stop him.  I did my exercise too before I went to the huddle, so at least I got my steps in before I got my lazy on!  12,267 steps to be precise, 96 active minutes, 2407 calories burned apparently, my diet wasn't the best yesterday - pizza and chips - so I probably consumed them too, I'm in holiday mode before the holiday starts I think!  I need a plateful of salad I think today, I've got lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber and radish in the fridge, that'll work, I've also got some cooked salmon flakes I could have with it, sorted that's lunch, then dinner can be stuffed pasta - no excuses today now. 

It's just come up in my timeline that it was a year ago today, I started working for UW, that's gone quickly!  I haven't done much the last month or so with them, but at the moment with all the changes to the energy suppliers it is a great time to switch to them, I've just renewed my contract as this last year I've saved loads of money and the cashback card has been amazing for me, so if you're interested and want to know more, give me a shout. 

Today's a busy day at Bloxwich, it's a great day though, lots of giggles and chat, love listening to it all from the scales, Elle and I are absolutely loving working together, it's been a good few months now and we work so well together, we're on the same wavelength, both bringing different things to the table so to speak, it really is the best thing I've done in my working life, best decision ever!

Just looking through my Facebook memories this morning and it's been 6 years since Carol and I became Facebook friends, she's a special person in my life, I'm so grateful to have her as part of my world.  

This was also in my memories;

"A love is just a cuddle not something to eat" mom having a chat with Alfie, wise words we could all learn from!

Now I remember this conversation as if it was yesterday, even though it was 4 years ago, how many of us mix those things up - love / food? How many feeders do you know, are you one of them? I know I am, I love to cook for others and get positive feedback, there's nothing quite like it. Since I found out Elle likes orange chocolate, every time I see an orange twirl in the shop I go to buy her one! What's that all about, if she wants chocolate, she can buy her own, she doesn't need me putting temptation in her way!

I've not ate breakfast this week, I don't think that helped yesterday, because by the time I did eat, I didn't know what to eat, so I had a cup a soup with a slice of bread that cost me a couple hundred calories, but of course didn't satisfy me for long. Next because I hadn't planned my meals I ended up having pizza from the freezer with a handful of chips.

Water is the other things I've let slip, I need to start carrying a bottle round with me, to make sure I drink more!

Well as I'm up so early I may as well do my workout, so it's done and out the way. Yesterday's was one I'd not done before, I started strong but was shattered towards the end, again not sure if that was how I was feeling anyway or it was a toughie, here it is, let me know if you do it, how you got on;

Have a very, great day, I'm going too.

Remember you don't have to be perfect all the time, I've managed to lose 18.5lb and I'm crap at consistency, if you read my blog you know that :) 

Mwah, luv ya

Love me xx
