Omg have I let things slide I think I need to start up this diary again. I am a bit of a mess and not keeping my eye on the ball

1. Weight and fitness are a big concern.
2. Am going through redundancy and struggling with stress and depression
3. Spent most of my savings pot last year
4. The house is an absolute tip all the time

I am in a bit of a slump.

Positive things:
1. Have asked for help from GP and arranged counselling
2. Still have job until February so time to sort things out
3. Still have a inkling of desire to do something and sort my shiz out.
4. Starting volunteering at the end of the month
5. Have been ill but am starting to feel better
6. No debt
7. Thinking of booking in for a reflexology session for which I can claim the cost back from my cash plan.

Will try and keep up with any progress I make. Small things may help

I have started the Emergncy fund challenge on here so that's something to work towards I am hoping the work situation won't affect my saving too much *fingers crossed*

Jobs for tomorrow:
1. Sort out all laundry put away clean, get dirty ready for cleaning
2. Clean up kitchen
3. Empty bins
4. Take medications properly at the right times
5. Do a food shopping list
6. Have a bath
7. Weigh myself if feeling up to it.
8. Check job search sites
9. Sort out exercise plan
10. Do some work on applications/ elearning
Might be able to do the elearning even if I can't do anything else because typing the "a" word above sent a wave of panic across my chest
11. Cook a proper meal

I'll add more if it comes up but this might be more than I can cope with for one day anyway.

Got to do all this tomorrow anyway. Have started some things but not completed.
Although took the rubbish out so maybe that won't need doing again, but probably will.
And I have weighed myself so no point in doing that again tomorrow.

Need to add
- Do the food shop
- get work clothes ready for morning

Hope I can do better tomorrow
