Day 20 of tracking 110% about to commence.
Well my planned day got changed the minute I stopped blogging yesterday! For the better this time though, I'd just been messaging back a member and it reminded me that I too should remember to make time for me, so I decided the housework could wait, I was going to go and have a few hours to myself and I enjoyed every minute of it. I went to the McArthurGlen Outlet in Cannock for a mooch around. I even treated myself, bagged me a pair of baggy Levi's for £20, I don't want to spend more because I'm hoping they won't fit me by Christmas or they'll need a belt! Then I had a pair of gym leggings and trainers from Adidas for the gym and this 12 week pain management thing. I was chuffed with the trainers, they were reduced from £178 to £28 and I got another 10% discount - bargain, I had a pair of joggers from Ted Baker too, they're mens but I really liked them, I was going to give the to himself but I'm undecided at the minute because I can get them on and I'm funny about joggers, so he may have lost them before he even received them.
I picked up a bucket from KFC for my sister on the way home and I was good, I just had a couple of drumsticks, resisted the other one and put it in her bucket. Oh I did track everything again and I was within my allowance, I actually pulled back 220 which is good for a Friday.
The rest of my day included my pain management class, that was a chat, then a short circuit workout which I had to mostly do sitting, but it's helped me to realise even seated exercise will help me, no matter how short the workout.
I didn't cook at all yesterday, for tea I had one of these for 220 calories, I wasn't keep on the bacon flavour, but I do like Idahoan mash usually.
I wasn't really hungry yesterday, unlike the day before, it's good to listen to your belly sometimes!
Got a busy day ahead, our wonderful huddle this morning, then an appointment with the Rheumatology consultant, followed by our bed being delivered - yay, no more sleeping on the sofa! OH I do hope this appointment moves us forward in a positive direction. The previous physio said I have radicular pain in my back, basically a trapped nerve / herniated disk, they're all different terms used for the same kind of thing, but he also believed I have Rheumatoid arthritis causing my other pains, we shall see, after all it could be menopause as that can cause pain. I know my knee is genuine wear and tear because that's been shot since my 20s and it's just got worse. At least I managed to do 9k steps yesterday walking round the shops, it hurt, at times I had to scooch down in the shops or find a seat for a moment, but I managed. I struggled at the pain management thing because by then I'd already caused the pain to increase, very frustrating but I'll keep doing what I can to improve it.
Not sure about the rest of the weekend, but I think it might involve driving him back to work Sunday so both cars aren't at his workplace! He really knows how to show me a good time :)
Ah the washing machines just beeped, so I'll go and sort that, here's to a great day, try to take a bit of time for you, you're important too!
Mwah, luv ya
Love me xx
