  • Watty inspired me too. We can be grumpy together 🤣.
    love 🐞
    Yey, there'll be a group of lovely, but grumpy women on the forum!! 
    🤣🤣🤣
  • I hope your health kick goes well! I’m also trying to eat more veggies at the moment and meditate each day. I’ve only been doing it for a week but mentally I feel so much better already 
    Hello @sunshineli thank you for popping onto the thread.
    Good luck with your veggies! And the meditations. 
    I do know I am much better when I meditate regularly, so the question is why do I not do it? 🤔
    Hhaha

    And I haven't done one yet today! Doh!

    Did make these though


    Chocolate balls. They do have 2 chopped dates, so some sugar, but loads better than a bar of choc!

    Been good today, had three choc balls with my evening cuppa. And this afternoon I had olives nuts and a slice of cheese. No biscuits or cake or jam or fizzy pop! Not that I have much pop, but I do like kombucha. But I didn't buy any as I guess that's too sugary? 🤔
    Didn't manage a walk though! Will do better tomorrow!! 


  • Morning, I got really interested in a comment on fb a couple of days ago and it's sent me down a right rabbit hole! It's rather on the woowoo side so I won't go until it here but I'm trying to learn something new and crazy! 😜 I love that I'm inspired by it though. I really feel I'm beginning to find me again, I hope so!
    Anyway today is going to be another no sugar day. Just been trying to think about breakfast, might have peanut butter on toast. (ignoring the 20 jars of jam we have in the pantry that we've made over the last couple of years🤣)
    Had loads of water yesterday. 
    I've had my mushroom coffee, it's delicious but I'm going to switch to hot water / lemon after and see how I go. I'm not looking to cut it out but def reduce it. 
    I have a client later and then need to run a couple of jobs while I'm out (chemist / post office / fuel)
    Must do online for order too as DS2 is coming home and the food Acc money has been topped up so will get some GF treats for him


  • Ooo I'm interested to know what you've been learning now 😁.
    Hope you have a good day and get all the jobs done!

    Today has been good. 
    Took DD and friend to a national trust place. Its near where we used to live, so quite a drive, but so lovely there especially this time of year, it's worth it. Took a picnic to make it cheaper and had it on a bench. Boy it was busy there!
    Today had been hard resisting the sugar😔 I packed choc chip cookies and choc kitkats for them, and I had a couple of my choc balls and managed to resist. But driving home I just kept thinking about how I wanted a chocolate biscuit or a cake!!!
    I had an apple instead 🍏😋
    So that's 3 days, yippee. 
    And I've been great with my water intake, and did loads of walking today. So fairly pleased. 
    Need to crack on tomorrow with house jobs. 
  • Oops! 
    I took DD shopping so she could buy some jeans, which was successful. But! I bought a meal deal and it was only as I opened the choc bar I realised what I was doing!
    So i ate it, 🤣 wasn't going to throw away a bar I just bought! 
    I also had a choc biscuit after tea. But it was only 1 😋.
    Will get going again tomorrow!! 

  • It's really hard to stick to restrictions in diet when everyone around you us eating it. It's why I start so many healthy eating plans and then abandon them after a tough day or seeing someone else pigging out on nice naughty stuff!

  • Hmm diet restrictions gone by the wayside 🫣🫣🫣
    It's stress that seems to through everything askew
    Anyhow still gong strong with the water, at that 1 positive.
    DD didn't want to go back to college. There seems to be very little chance she will manage a bus when even going by car is so difficult. 
    I have a hospital app this afternoon, but not much else planned. Need to make a list to be more productive. 

    Feels like I'm moaning alot, I think it's the time is year 🤔 still deliberating on getting a SAD lamp. 
  • Wowsers life has been lifing! 
    I was extremely lucky and I went on a women's retreat aboard and it was totally amazing. Took a while to intergrate back into my daiky life here.
    But, it's given me the push to make some big changes and finally strive to do what I really want. 
    So, not very mse in the short term but I'm gong to spend some of my savings. I have about £2500 ( my run away money!!)
    I am giving up my very part time job and I'm going to invest in some coaching and mentoring to help me push through my goals. 
    I plan on taking a course in jan and have been looking at the rest of the year to see how it might unfold. It may include another visit to the vet special place 💫💫💫
    I know I'm on the right path for me. I've been holding back for way too long. I had a phone call with a friend (the retreat leader) and she is also having business coaching and her advice from the her business coach was to dive straight in and teach what she is learning, so I am going to be one of her guinea pigs 😁😁😁 at no charge. Yey! This is so fab, hopefully with the business side being helped I will look for a mentor to help with the creative side and I will be an unstoppable force 👌😁😁😁
    Well that's the plan!! 
    I am planning on building a few income streams including making a course, carrying on with the little bit of teaching I'm doing and my creative work, which will be split into 2 aspects. 
    Sounds a bit vague, but I don't want to go into too much detail in here. After being found on my last account, I'm keeping a low profile! 
    So that's the plan moving foward, starting now but really that means putting things in place to crack on in Jan. 
    Plus I'm decorating the lounge which needs to be finished before Xmas!!
