22nd March 2018
You are far too smart to be the only thing standing in your
way.
I may not have jumped out of bed with enthusiasm yesterday,
if you recall I wasn’t much up for doing my yoga but something happened an hour
or so later. Oh yeah, I spent the day
cleaning my house, scrubbing the wetroom floor, hovering everywhere, I even
cleaned my oven. I did so much my body
aches today, feels like I’ve had a fully body workout. I’ll never be a domestic goddess but I do
wish I would do it little and often rather than all or nothing, the latter option
hurts.
I can’t be a housekeeper and a cook on the same day so
yesterday wasn’t the greatest food day but at least it wasn’t the worst
either. I succumbed to chips after my
meeting, now I asked for a small bag of chips and I weighed them when I got
home, 500g,
According to this website, that ain’t a small portion!
Nor this website
The weight for Maccy D’s chips are approximately: Small
Fries approx. 80g, Medium Fries approx. 114g, and Large Fries approx. 150g. Yet a small from the chippy is 500g!
There were plenty of chips in that bag for two of us and
when you think the chips were 28 Smart Points for the ‘small’ bag, you realise
why. I wonder how much their ‘large’ bag
weighed, should feed a family I reckon, how many people eat them all thinking
they’re in one bag so they’re mine.
I enjoyed them though and as a balance I had an apple
earlier in the day. Ooo I have a melon
downstairs might slice that up this morning before work and take some with me,
I’m sat drinking my pint of water, hoping it’ll perk me up and ease my aching
muscles, if it doesn’t, I’ll opt for drugs, I can’t be aching all day long, not
when it’s starting at 7.30 and I won’t finish till 8.30 tonight, I need
anything I can get my hands on to get through that, coffee, ibuprofen, fruit
and ending later with red wine. Proper rock
and roll rebel ain’t I!
Luckily I get to rest tomorrow, but how many don’t. How many people out there are on a vicious
hamster wheel trying to keep on top of everything, keep everyone happy, fight
pain or exhaustion, coping with emotional pressures and problems. Then the coffee and ibruprofen taking
increases, the painkillers get stronger, the alcohol intake intensifies, and
then addiction creeps in. Life is never
clean cut, we are all vulnerable to the strains of the world and society, I’ve
just seen a photo of Ant and Dec, it’s too easy to quickly be judgemental, don’t
be, we don’t know what’s happening in his head, we don’t know what’s gone on in
his life, yeah we see the “he’s a rich tv star” but that’s not everything, that’s
not his personal life. Alcohol addition,
drug addition, food addition, the first two are seriously frowned upon, the
latter ends up with weight gain, we all have our demons, don’t judge others for
theirs xx
Right let’s get through this day, thankfully it’s 13 hours that’ll
include smiles and laughter and catching up with amazing people.
BeYOUtiful, Be Happy, Be Healthy, Be Nice – Be YOUnique. xx
