Petals diary

Glad you got such a good sleep, Petal. Having things planned for the weekend can be really good. I hope they are mostly fun plans & some Petal time xoxo
 
Had a nice day yesterday. Did a little cleaning and went for a walk with my husband to an old castle . Met a nice man from Scotland who was visiting locally and chatted with him. Came home and had a nice bath and then cooked a steak dinner with lots of veg and watched a movie later . Had planned to go out with my daughter today to the zoo but it's horrible wet day so may think of a plan B .
 
We brought my daughter to the movie with a family where the husband is a Queen fan, and we all loved it. That is one of my favorite things in the world, exploring the life of someone highly creative. Just hearing about someone so engaged in life makes me so inspired! I love people who love what they do!!!

Wow, exploring an old castle sounds wonderful, and a bath and steak and veg dinner on top of everything. Sounds like a wonderful day!!
 
Sorry haven’t had the strength or energy to post or reply . Will get back to it later today or tomorrow. Had major car problems and it’s just zapped my energy and zest . That’s just on top of lots of little things that roll them all together become momentous in my head .
 
Thanks everyone Sorry Em that you having problems too .
I just haven't the energy this last week for much . Work was hectic, have another funeral and big unplanned expenses .
I am getting out still for my walks and wonders of wonders have not turned to food. Some big changes for me . Also I am sleeping which I don't get and waking without enough time then to post here .

That´s excellent! Sorry life´s hectic but the fact you´re still hanging on to your healthy habits is a real sign of change.
 
Wow, you are doing wonderfully even with all that stress!!! I was just about to write and ask how things were going - have missed your posts! I hope it calms down soon, and sorry about your car! I bet you are sleeping well from all the exercise. So nice!!
 
Hi all yeah life is stressful. I’m sorry I do kind of go in on myself when I have lots going on in my head so if I am not about that’s why .
I am a big worrier but am getting by ok ish .
Had a day out yesterday that was nice .
It’s nice to be more controlled about what I eat now in times like this . Those habit changers sure did work .
 
I´m the same when I get stressed or overwhelmed: I just pull back as far as I can until I start regenerating. Take care.
 
I'm really glad to hear that you are not using food as a coping mechanism. It's such a hard habit to break. It's such a quick fix but then you wake up six months later feeling out of shape and in a worse place mentally than you were beforehand.

I hope all the stress evaporates for you naturally. :)
 
It's wonderful to hear your habit changers worked so well! Are you still doing that book? When I get stressed I am learning to pull back and go meditate. It's great writing to you all who naturally do this so I can see the huge benefits of working things out in oneself quietly. Glad to hear you got a day out, and hope you get to do a lot more of that!!! Thanks for the check in. I think about you when you don't write and hope you are doing well!!
 
Yes it’s good am not using food as a crutch . Did some good garden work yesterday and am trying just to keep occupied and not worry . Easier said than done .

Was pleased this morning as I had washed my work trousers on Saturday and normally after washing they feel as tight . They are a size 14 ( us 10) but they are actually comfortable in me today so something must be happening. Haven’t weighed in a while as I just obsess so that’s good . I only really eat my meals now and if I snack it’s nuts or piece of dark chocolate or something from my little stash in work lol . No alcohol . Still on decaf drinks except for my morning cup or occasionally 2 .
No real desire to eat much crap and I think it’s because I know if I want it well I can have it .

Weather picking up so that is a mood booster too .
