Be you, do you, for you!
Yesterday didn't help my weight loss journey but it was a breakthrough day in other ways and that's more important for me right now. Being healthy is so much more than a number on a set of scales isn't it! Having a happy family is so much more than going on nice days out or weekends away, yesterday took us one step closer to that I believe.
If I was asked what I wanted Aryn to be when he grows up, my only answer would be happy, I want him to have the emotional strength to communicate and cope with life because this world can be a real tough place to live in. Without going into details because this is his world, I felt like we had a bit of a breakthrough yesterday so we went for pizza as a treat, tbf I was taking him to get pizza anyway because I knew he wasn't looking forward to his appointment and I thought it would be something for him to look forward to later. Anyway we waited 30 mins for our pizzas to be told that the ovens weren't working and they gave us our money back lol, we drove to another one and ended up at Papa Johns where I ordered an Hawaiian medium pizza which turned out to be almost 1500 calories - ouch!
At least I'd done my 50 lengths on the morning before our brilliant huddle, loving my swimming, it's helping me in more ways than one, obviously physically but emotionally too, it's very calming.
It's been a funny old week but needed I think, I went into myself over the weekend and did a lot of thinking, bit of soul searching and checking of myself. We've talked a lot as a family, that as you can imagine isn't easy with a young man but we've come a long way and we'll keep working at that because if you can communicate how you're feeling, it's massively good for your mental health.
It's no good being slim if you're miserable as sin is it - not that I am unhappy, I'm just making a point. I'm actually very happy, not to the point where I'm 100% happy every minute of the day, but I'm 100% happy with my life and everyone in it, of course there's things I'd change if possible but sadly they're not easily changed, I'm not a magician unfortunately lol. A win on the lottery would be nice, have you seen the price of takeaway pizza - OUCH, I'd have been happy with a shop bought one, I can't tell the difference you know, I might just keep the pizza box and reuse it and shove a shop on in it, see if he notices ;)
I'm off for a swim again this morning, not as long in the pool as it's my early work start day, but something is better than nothing. I took a couple of small croissants with me yesterday 322 calories but they weren't all that and they gave me a bit of indigestion, I might take a ham sandwich with me this morning, that'll do the job if I'm hungry.
Here's to a good day or a great day - you decide. I feel like we can handle anything that's thrown at us right now and that for me is more important than losing a pound at the scales, but I'll keep trying for the pound too because I know looking after my health helps me cope with all the stuff that is thrown at us!
Mwah, luv ya
Love me
