Thanks it's a little repetive but I'm enjoying it .
I did a huge amount of cleaning yesterday. Also investigated something official I need to do that I have been putting off for years .
Yesterday was to do something people related so I did 2 things for my daughter and if you count also making her favourite dinner that's 3 . She was in very bad form so I think it all helped . Today I'm making a people day again and even though I don't really want to do it I'm going to visit someone who lives an hour away . But it will make a difference to them . I just want to be lazy and sit at the fire tbh lol .

I notice I am eating 3 proper meals a day right now and very little extras on top of that . I'm not dreading cooking in the evening. Hope it lasts .

If we all did that there´d probably be very little obesity around. Not putting off official things is something I struggle with but it feels so much better to live without that low-level background stress of knowing you´re failing at something.
 
The walk in the woods sounds divine, and it's wonderful how much you are accomplishing! It' great that some of the activities are centered around doing things to help others, too. It sounds very balanced! And great you are doing so well with the food. Do you think the book helps you get the emphasis off of food and on to things that matter more, so that you don't use food as entertainment? I am working on that, so am wondering how you find that, if it is relevant.
 
Petal- You are doing so well exploring new things, challenging yourself and losing 2lbs :) Well done!
 
Thanks all . Marsia the book has never really mentioned food tbh . I have noticed I am more willing to just do things differently and yes I'm not looking to food to entertain me or fill a void .

I had a great afternoon yesterday as it happened visiting and I was ravenous by time I got home . Usually in that situation I would have stopped for something unhealthy along the route but I knew I had dinner prepared and ready to warm through .
I listened to a podcast in the car for something different and I could have driven all night I was enjoying it so much. Also I bought a new jigsaw to potter away at .

Unless my day is exercise though I'm struggling still with that but my ankle is hurting me so I find 2 days in a row hard going . However I don't feel stressed or pressured right now regarding weight or exercise .
 
You do seem much more content, Petal and that does seem to be making a lot of difference to your eating habits. Well done xo
 
Don't feel too good this morning . Feel nauseous and headachy . Must go to work though . Might skip breakfast and take something with me in case I feel up to it later .
 
Ifeel better today but wasn’t great yesterday.
Weird dreams again too but at least I slept most of night .
Not much to report in terms of food or walks but both ok .
Doing some relaxing stuff for myself which is a first and I like it . Have some visits targeted for this week to achieve my plans from my book . As I was not well I’m rolling back a couple of days to tick my boxes .
 
Ditto what LaMa says. Really happy you are doing relaxing stuff and that your book is helping so much!
 
Right now it's focusing on people days or activities days . I'm just running with that for an extra day or 2 because I missed a couple with feeling unwell. Yesterday went for long walk in the cold . It was bitterly cold but I enjoyed it .
I had a random act of kindness done to me last night so I might try pass that on today somehow .
I am facing some upheaval in my life again as husbands work changing again. Already I have started to feel a bit stressed . This time though I will try not to let anxiety take over and just focus on my walks and take care of myself .

Best of luck with that. Anxiety sucks. And change is scary sometimes, even if often it delivers unexpected positive things.
