  • Hi again,

    Just been reading through the day's posts. I'm joining those going for a bit of a weight loss and some exercise this week. So Sparkles, Budgie, Marru, Winebox good luck :) I hope I have that right!

    Thanks Budgie (()). Doing ok.

    Had a nice day and got a lot done here. I've been doing a lot of thinking about the gloomy mood I have been in for the past week and feeling a bit better. I tend to live in the past and future, worrying about what I should have done better and what is to come. I forget that the present is actually ok sometimes. Yes I do have a lot I must get organised with and not been doing too well on the AF side but need to take it easy and relax more. I hope to clock up a few AF days this week and I'm committing to doing some walking (jogging! no!). I intend to spend an evening doing a mega list of what I want to get done and to note those things I can't change and stop worrying about them.

    Hoping for a good week for us all.

    DB I know what you mean about: not living in the here and now, I too worry about what has been and what is yet to come.

    When I practiced Reiki, it taught you to live in the here and now,and for today,

    I will not worry,
    I will not anger
    I will be kind to others
    I will do my work honestly
    I will be grateful

    Guess I need to revisit these too, I think they are very good principles.

    So hugs sweetheart and we shall try and be grounded together :)

    Btw I forgot in my earlier post to ask how Ms Honey B is? Is she still away?

    I have that pea green mask on again :eek: (Face mask that is).
    I have also thrown a pebble in my waterfall for luck and good fortune ;)

    Ok off to pootle some more.

    Big hugs (())

    I have done a face pack, had a bubble bath and shaved my legs and put body lotion on. I'm going to have an early night tonight and listen to one of my relaxation CD's and fingers crossed have a good night's sleep.

    Well done 115k, sounds like a good plan, I am off to use my body butter next. (Wild Cherry :D) Btw do you see your counsellor again this week? If you do I hope it goes well sweetheart. Big hugs and take care of yourself. (()) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Sim I hope you are ok mate?

    Off to wash this mask off now.

    Budgie is thinking thin :D I can here our lovely Graeme saying if you try and do too many things then it is harder to succeed. But I do really want to shift this weight and if I do successfully do this diet then I will not be able to drink. When Budgie is focused then she is focused.

    Graeme matey as ever I listen, I digest and I learn, you are as you know one of Budgies favorites :A (()) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Love n hugs guys
    Budgie xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    I have a red face above my post, can't get it to go away????

    Thanks Budgie. They are very good principles. Very simple but just right.
    I'll keep them in mind this week.

    Evening all!

    Can't keep up with you lot!!

    BUT I have to say....

    Marru...apparently you were off to clean piggies...quite honestly not a good job as master piglet still grubby!!!:rotfl:

    And WHO was making Pork Gravy!!:eek::eek:

    Anyway.....good day in piggy household! Stepdaughter still on a high with her dress (for those that are interested I've put a couple of pics on facebook in my family album). 69chick SIL is my brothers wife. MY OH's brother can't even remember what the kids are called!!:rotfl:We all went swiimming earlier (had a a wierd moment in pool when I bumped into one of our drivers...we both said hello and had a conversation whilst looking anywhere except at each other in a swimming cossie!!!:rotfl::rotfl:). Then we came home and had a picnic on a rug on the living room floor! All in all, a good day.

    AND I'm AF tonight. Have promised to pick Mum up from her ECG tests tomorrow so need to be fit to drive.

    WB - loads of hugs....been there so many times.
    Jo - hate to give you palpitations but planning to turn our garage into a mini gym!! I must be off my bloody trolley!!!
