Awake since 3!

Saturday 24th September 2022

It's okay to stop and rest.

I wasn't going to blog this morning, so much happening but I can't put it here, but then I thought nah we can still talk about some stuff.

SO yesterday started with me being absolutely frazzled, rough nights sleep as so much going on in my brain, I was tired before I even started my day, oh yeah and in pain YAY.  

Anyway, I still went swimming, managed 32 lengths, I lost count so went to the last I could remember lol, aimed for 30, thankfully I got an extra couple, burned 406 calories,

Then after talking to himself on the phone and feeling frustrated about the mess that is going on, I drove home.  I wasn't feeling the housework vibe but I did manage to do a load of washing and give the kitchen a good clean, plus hoovered downstairs and the stairs, so I managed to do something at least,

When Aryn got up we made a smoothie together which got him 10.3g of fibre - boom!  We're going to have avocado smash today, I think he'll opt for sour dough bread but that's half the fibre of the seeded stuff I have, but as lot as he gets his daily quota it's all good.

I'd defrosted the leftover lamb from the other weeks Sunday dinner, I added it to a jar of Homepride curry sauce which reminds me of my mom, I needed some comfort food and good memories - it worked.  I also made a beef stew for todays dinner, can't wait, if I hadn't got the avocado breakfast planned I know I'd be eating a bowl of stew for breakfast.

Whilst I ate curry and rice, Aryn indulged in a pepperoni plus pizza with stuffed crust - omg it smelt and looked so good, I did pinch a piece of pepperoni off the top ;)  He'd had a good day at school and come home happy - that's more important than all the other stuff, he's our priority, getting him well and watching him grow into a wonderful, happy, young man.

I went to bed early and watched tele upstairs, woke a few times in the night then wide awake at 3, oh ma'an, I don't like not sleeping, it's one of my favourite hobbies.

Looking forward to good company at the huddle this morning, then I think it'll be a long day, I'd love to have the energy and enthusiasm to sort my wardrobe and the spare room, but I'm not gonna force it if I don't.  Yesterday with the housework, I did a bit then sat and rested so my pain eased a bit before I started again.

I need to get back to tracking and eating properly, I'm trying not to eat too badly but there are snacks sneaking in, oh the pizza flavour mini cheddars are vile by the way but I still ate the bloody packet to make sure!

Okay as the image says, 'put your positive pants on', I'm gonna if they still fit after all the food I've ate this week lol, seriously though, I am, if I can't change it, it doesn't require my attention does it.  Here's to a day of focusing on the good stuff, the stuff I do have control of, how lucky am I to live in a house of love and to have a big pot of stew to look forward too!

On that note, have yourself a great day.

Mwah, luv ya 

Love me xx
