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

Is Success The Thing That Scares Us? Or Is It Failure We Really Fear?

Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm. - Winston Churchill If you fear failure, the above quote from Winston Churchill can be seen as comforting, failing at something can be a huge blow to our egos. But what if you aren't scared to fail? What if succeeding is the thing that scares you most? Failure is something that some of us are quite prepared for. Before we've even set out to do something, that voice in your head is already saying "it probably won't work out". We often prepare ourselves for the worst outcome to protect our fragile egos. If we fail, things will stay as they are and whether we are happy with our current situation or not, it is a lot easier to stay in a familiar situation. Of course, we don't want to fail, we'll feel rubbish about it, sometimes it means we can't do the things we had hoped for at the time, but ultimately, nothing has changed, and we can usually fall back into our old routin...

3 Small Intentions I’m Setting This Week To Energise Me After My Holiday

Revisit my routine After 2 weeks away and being 5 hours behind, everything is a little up in the air. There are things I want to remove from my routine and things I would like to add. Exercise I started using the FIIT app before I went away so I want to get back to that. All that walking around made me realise I need to improve my fitness. Writing articles I write every day but just for my personal blog, I want to write some articles so that when I make pitches they’re ready to go. I plan to work very hard this week! What are your intentions? ❤️

The uninvited chimp

So I have spent the last few days feeling really sorry for myself. My mojo is creeping back but that little negative voice in my head aka Barry, is back for a visit and I didn't bloody invite him. I have my first ever cold sore, which I am convinced everyone is staring at. I can feel it growing like its its own person, I shall name him Colin if this carries on much longer. I don't feel like I have lost any weight or inches coming to the end of cycle one, even though I have still drank a fair amount of booze and had a few takeaways so probably shouldnt be surprised. This is making me panic as I have a hen do, a wedding and a girls weekend away coming up in about 6 weeks and everything I wear makes me look like a bound up piece of meat I havent slept very well for the last few nights which I think is making my head whirl, it's just constant chatter in my head: "Dont forget to...." "What if .... happens?" "Why did .... do/say that?" and the very p...
