21 January

Well I managed to say no today. Someone tried to take the piss and I wasn't having it. This is a big step forward and gives me hope. So I should be feeling good this evening but for some reason I've just had a good cry instead. I'm feeling desperately lonely tonight and have never missed my family more. So a mixed day, from middle of the night epiphany to minor victory to emotional wreck. One would hope tomorrow can only be better.

Turning Point

I've realised tonight that I'm probably making a huge fool of myself, completely failing the promise I made to myself to stop being mug and, worst of all, not concentrating on what really matters. I'm being distracted by things/people that are really unimportant in the grand scheme of things.
So I've made a promise to myself that it will stop. I'm going to work on my priorities and everything else can fuck off because if I was hit by the proverbial bus tomorrow they wouldn't give a rat's arse.

New Year

Hello and Happy New Year. I have been neglecting this of late but those who know me will hopefully agree that I've had a lot going on and will excuse the silence.

2009 was a mixed year for me but I was pretty pleased to see the back of it. So pleased in fact that I was in bed by 10pm on NYE. However, looking ahead to 2010 I think it is going to be a good year. In fact, I have decided that come what may, it is going to be a fab year. My resolutions for the year were as follows:

1. Eat more healthily and drink less.
2. Get more exercise
3. Stop allowing myself to be treated like a mug



So far 1 and 2 haven't been going as well as planned but not a total failure either. I did fall off the wagon last week and hit the gin/whisky but I have now hauled myself back on and intend to stay there. Food-wise I have been up to my old trick of forgetting to eat for hours and then stuffing something unhealthy into my gob but I hope to do better from now on. Hell, I even ate breakfast this morning (marmite and peanut butter on toast as advocated by @lardychap from Twitter - try it , it is surprisingly good and an excellent hangover cure) The exercise thing has been a bit better, mainly due to walking Hudson and the snow forcing me to walk to work etc. Optimus Prime (Treadmill - see pic) has also been restored to his position (he was folded up over Crimbo to allow ten people to fit into our front room) and I plan to recommence training this week. Will let you know how that goes but hubby has already recommenced running in his undercrackers (!)

On no 3, I had a bit of a blip at the end of last week when I felt that certain people in one area of my life were taking the piss but I think that has been addressed now. I have spoken up for myself and things are looking a little better. Again, watch this space.
