So, next Saturday, I'm out with the girls... and a couple of husbands, at our Christmas dinner dance. I'm nervous about it, as I've arranged, planned and paid, so I'll be terrified until we're seated at the table and there is a chair and a meal for everyone. Anyway, I feel fine, but in the coming week, I'm going to be super healthy and do some strategic exercises to make sure I feel and look my best. I'm going to blitz the arms and do lunges every day, plus anything else I have the energy for... which probably won't be much.
This time last year, I was running every night and loving it. I just don't seem to have the energy for that this year. I barely have the energy to make myself something to eat when I get in at night. I am super organised though for the week to come. It'll be pouring yogurt, All Bran, banana and milk for breakfast, (I still struggle to eat so early but I somehow manage to.) Nuts and fruit during the the day and steamed white fish and veggies for dinner. Plus 2 litres of water at least, every day. You know I can eat the same things for days and it doesn't bother me. I'll be positively glowing by Saturday... hopefully.
Saturday seemed to evaporate. I didn't get half done of what I intended to get done. I need to get my skates on when I get home. I had a very late night last night chatting to a friend but I don't actually feel too bad, just yet.
You know my never ending challenge to get tidy and organised? Well, I have decided to concede defeat. I am going to gather every solitary item which is out where it should not be, or homeless, and place it in a box, in the back, small bedroom. In the New Year, (I can't believe I've just uttered those two words already,) then I'll take out one box per month and obliterate it making sure everything out of that box finds a home here somewhere, or a home elsewhere. What do you think? I think it's a stunning plan.
I ran for 15 minutes this morning. It was almost not worth getting changed for but as I pondered; "15 minutes or nothing," I surprised myself and opted for the 15 minutes.
I have 9 days left in work before NYC (baby.) I have a busy week coming up so I'm aiming for lots of sleep and good food choices. I haven't lost weight for 3 weeks now and while I'm fine... I would be finer, 6lbs lighter ;)
I'm staring out of my Starbucks window and I can't help but laugh. An otherwise quite stylish woman is linking her man and staring into the shoe shop window opposite, with her back to me. Up to the neck... bingo, 10/10, from the neck up, well, she's wearing a bear hat. There are many around, woollen beanies with ears but this one is not so much a bear hat as the head of a bear. It's a human sized bear head. Maybe it looks better from the front as I can only see it from the back. I'm sure her man was delighted when she rocked up wearing that. Oh, that's really cheered me up, absolutely stunning.
A good friend read last week's blog and commented on my; "life is for living, sharing, laughing, and learning." She noticed that I'd missed out; "loving." Well, she is of course correct. I may not have a conventional family but I'm lucky to have people in my life that I love, and for all of my moaning, I'm loving this journey. If my life were a book, I'd be tempted to skip to the back page to see how it all turned out, I guess I'll just have to wait and see, and do my best to enjoy the mysterious and sometimes infuriating journey.
On a final note in which I attempt to make you jealous, I noticed today that H&M are opening up at Cheshire Oaks. I don't have a lot from there but what I do have, are some of my favourites that I've had for years. When are you coming over next??? Love you x
