I’m giving up

Cards on the table. I set an intention at the beginning of the week to track my food and. I wish I hadn’t. It’s. So. Fucking. Boring. You know what happens when I track food? I eat more, because I am always thinking about food. I wanted to track my food to keep an eye on the nutrients I was getting, but as soon as I opened my fitness pal, it became a calorie counting exercise and I just cannot be arsed with that. I get too obsessed! I once looked up the calories for a lemsip! I was ill, but still didn’t want to go over my calorie threshold. It’s a miserable existence and I’m just not needing this in my life right now. Yes I could do with losing quite a few pounds, but it’s really not a priority for me right now. Life is too short, there are enough things to think about, to worry about and food isn’t going to be one of them. So I am happily erasing that one from the list this week. After I stopped obsessing over food, I started obsessing over my skin. I’m not sure if it’s my age, my hormones or what, but I have spots on my cheeks and dry red itchy patches on the back of my thighs. After some investigation, I have come to the conclusion that the items in my house are turning against me. More specifically, my beloved sleep mask and my sofa, So my sleep mask is now being being washed more frequently and the seat of the sofa has a blanket over it. I will win this war! Other than that, I’ve been feeling pretty bloody good. I’ve caught up with friends, had date nights with the husband and the painting is finally finished! Meaning I had the unenviable task of putting the house back together. It was whilst doing this, that I realised to my horror, that the husband was right. There I said it! He was right by saying we needed new carpet in the hallway, the fresh new paint made the carpet on the stairs look worse! The hallway and stairs are the first thing you see when you walk in the house, not what you want a buyers first impression to be. So it’s all carpet samples and half packed boxes in the house at the moment. My sensible self now just needs to pay off the last of my debt, I can get myself into the ultimate debt of a mortgage. Which means making a few cutbacks to my outgoings, one of which is my regular manicures & pedicures. My nails were looking pretty sad, so I decided to do my own mani/pedi. I actually really enjoyed it, I even finished the whole thing off with a face mask and a can of Coke Zero. The ultimate experience! 🤣 In other news, you may have noticed that I slightly changed the name of the page from “This is me” to “This is still me” I haven’t undergone a transformation or anything, I just got all anal about all platforms having the same name. On Substack, where I send my newsletters from, I couldn’t have “this is me” (rude) so I went with this is still me, because, well it is. On that note, you can still sign up to my newsletter, in fact some of you, I have sent emails to 👀. I know I keep banging on about it, but I would like to know your thoughts as it’s different content to the blog posts and if I am ever to make a career out of the writing malarkey, I will need some feedback, good or bad. I’m off now to watch the final episodes of Married At First Sight Australia. What the hell am I going to watch after this is finished?? ❤️ #life #selflove #SelfCare #Selfimprovement #selfdiscovery #Positivity #Wellness #blog #blogger #bloggers #blogpost #Lifestyle #Blogging #intentions #money #inspiration #happiness #goodvibes #happy #mindset #goals #positive #positivethinking #MAFS #MAFSA #Marriedatfirstsight #MarriedatfirstsightAustralia #women #Food #calories

5 Things I’ve Seen & Heard This Week Including A Way To Earn As You Spend & An Exciting Crime Series

Being on holiday has given me plenty of time to read, listen and watch things and I write this very post as I lounge around the hotel pool. If you would like to watch fairytale for adults I rewatched Collateral Beauty on the plane. Will Smith plays Howard, a man broken by a personal tragedy. He spends his time writing letters time, death & love, whilst his concerned friends, played by the brilliant Ed Norton & Kate Winslet, try in vain to help him recover. It is a beautiful and moving story, something we all need to see. If you want to listen to the new Luther Vandross I put my name down for karaoke on holiday thinking I might sound ok amongst the usual candidates. Then Sterling got up. This man sounds just like Luther Vandross! We were chatting to him and he has entered several singing contests such as Pop Idol & X Factor but for some unknown reason, he didn't get through! If you want to earn money whilst you spend it Use TopCashback . I use this whenever ...

Wobbling on the wagon

The dentist has a lot to answer for. Not only was it a traumatising situation, it also led me to fall off my health wagon. As you know, I treated myself to a sausage baguette yesterday (maybe I said roll before, lets just call it a "baton") The fun didnt stop there, I had an omelette for lunch, as per the #leanin15 cookbook, then went onto five pieces of fudge, four jaffa cakes and several ritz crackers. This episode of bingeing exhausted me and I fell asleep, whilst watching a B horror movie. I then woke up just before the boyfriend got home, cooked him pork chops with creamy greens (and a secret side of mash potato, whcih I wasnt supposed to have. Sleeping is apparently not cardio)  A while later I have sucumbed to several heaped teaspoons of Nutella, this was not going well.
I felt groggy and sluggish, this must be all the wine I drank the previous night, damn those grapes!!! I am now avoiding wine. 14 hours later, I meet a friend for lunch and ordered a bottle of sav bl...

My intentions for the coming week

It was a busy week for me last week. I spent the first part of the week fretting about what I had to do at the end of the week. When Saturday arrived and I had some free time again, I was exhausted and could not seem to move. The week ahead I intend to plan better; next weekend is my birthday, so I have plenty to look forward to. After that, I will be focusing all my energy on paying off my remaining debt, which means less time to go out, which is actually a good thing for me, since this will allow me to spend more time writing. This week we will have more painting done in the house, so once again the house will be upside down. I know this affects me mentally, so I need to put things in place that will help. Thankfully, I have my sanctuary to retreat to and we will be able to sleep in our own bed this time! In the last week, I let my writing slide and took a couple of days off from blogging, so I'm putting in an hour each weekday this week to write, so when Friday gets here I...
