This week has really just been about getting to Saturday to be honest. I was on plane duty all week, it was bright and sunny weather, but brutally hot, especially in firefighting kit! It’s been hard to sleep, I’ve not been motivated to go for walks or workout much because of the heat! I am grateful that: I have made it into town for my second week-long holiday. It had a rocky start as the fog…

This has been quite a profound week, on the surface I should have been mad at the fact that I have been sabotaging my diet and ‘wasted’ another week of potential weight loss. However, I believe that things happen for a reason and I had to go through all of this to come to the following realisation: I am grateful that: It finally dawned on me that I am suffering from ‘diet burn out’. I have…

Gratitude Diary

It’s been a good week, a huge weight has been lifted off me and I feel a lot better. Quite a few things have come together this week and I feel more optimistic for the weeks and months ahead. I am grateful that: I have finally found, and bought a decent laptop. I have been on the lookout for one for a while, the one I bought a few years ago, just isn’t powerful enough and doesn’t have enough…

Gratitude Diary

I was so busy last week, straight back into work after a holiday that I ran out of time to write my gratitude diary! I am grateful that: My dad has installed an electric hook up in my car/van so I’m all set for my 2nd holiday next month. I seriously can’t wait to get back to mainland! I’ve found it quite difficult being back after such a great week! I lost weight while on holiday, despite…

This week has mainly been about worry about getting off island, I’m still worried about getting back of course but I won’t see far enough ahead on the forecast until tomorrow. I’ve been rushing around trying to get as much done and be as ready as possible for this holiday. I’m only away for a week yet it feels like I’m planning on being away for months! I am grateful that: The boat came in,…

Gratitude Diary

This week has gone really quickly, I don’t even know what I did, if I even managed to get anything done! I’ve certainly done plenty of overthinking and planning etc but as for real-world achievements, I don’t know. I’m in a strange place, angry out of nowhere and tense about nothing! I am grateful that: During the funeral for one of the brightest characters on this island, not only did the rain…

Gratitude Diary

It’s been a stressful week, full of uncertainty but it’s all worked out in the end. Not exactly how I pictured it but it’s the results that count, not always the journey to get there! I am grateful that: My car has finally been MOT’d and is back on island. I’m as prepared as I can be for my holiday in 2 weeks, just waiting on 1 parcel to come. I’m excited and really nervous at the same time.…

Its been a pretty good week. My birthday week in fact, sadly I was working through most of it so we’re celebrating this weekend. I say celebrating but really it’s a quiet night in with the folks, a move, mum’s legendary pie and a cheesecake but that spell bliss to me to be honest. Just what I need to wind down from this week and prepare for a fairly busy one next week – I’m in town 3 times next…

Gratitude Diary

It’s been a good week. I’ve got a few things that have been stressing me up sorted, it isn’t helping me sleep any better but hopefully my brain will catch on soon that I no longer need to worry about that stuff! It’s amazing really how good the body and mind are at holding onto anxiety, long after the problem has been sorted. I am grateful that: My car is all fixed up and back on the road, will…

Gratitude Diary

The week has gone pretty quickly, I’ve been pretty busy even though I haven’t been working. I’ve been enjoying the good weather, going for walks etc. I’m feeling better in myself, feeling physically stronger as well which makes me feel good. I am grateful that: I am back on the wagon, working out and losing weight again. I still have a fair bit to go but it’s good progress for this week and has…

Gratitude Diary

It’s been a good week really, I’ve not felt as stressed, in fact I think more things are starting to come together. I can’t say I feel optimistic because it’s still too early for that but I have been doing and feeling better this week. I am grateful that: I have gotten back into working out this week. I don’t feel focussed or motivated yet but hopefully that’ll come as it becomes a habbit…

Gratitude Diary

I think this past several weeks I’ve learned a lot about myself but this week the lessons have all come together. I know myself a bit better and more to the point, I accept myself for who I am and will move forward now with that understanding. It’s been a hard road getting here and will take a bit of work to recover but it was necessary to go through this. I am grateful that: The verdict came…

Gratitude Diary

It’s been a difficult week, I hope that upcoming weeks will be better but I doubt it. I have been so stressed that I have been binging beyond belief. Its so bad, I don’t even want to look at myself or the scale because the number will be scary. I have now accepted that I will never be able to control myself around junk food, so I’ve cancelled all the subscriptions to sweets and biscuits etc,…

It’s been a strange week, super highs and super lows. I really hate it when you have to say… Well it’s really great that this thing happened BUT I’m heartbroken that this also happened. That’s life though right, I’m just trying to focus on the positive at the moment while I regroup and face fixing the problems that are in my control to fix. Although it’s been a hard few weeks, I finally feel like…

Gratitude Diary

It’s been a good week. I’ve felt strong, capable and my efforts have been  worth it. It seems my chickens are coming home to roost, and I’m not referring to my neighbours chickens, thankfully they haven’t escaped again! I am grateful that: My dedication to a keto diet this week has paid off with significant weight loss. I still have a long way to go to burn off the fat I gained while binging…

Gratitude Diary

Those who read my blog regularly will have noticed, I haven’t done a gratitude diary in a few weeks. It has been a really difficult time for me and I really couldn’t find anything to be grateful for, as hard to believe as that sounds. I couldn’t even bear to write that I was grateful for my health or the roof over my head! It has been a stressful time for me of late. Truthfully I’ve been stressed…

Gratitude Diary

It’s been a good week! I have discovered a newfound strength and resilience, I feel good about myself again. I am relieved to have gotten here, its been a long and hard journey, I just hope that this time, I’m here to stay! I am grateful that: I decided to use some of my overtime money to get an eyeliner tattoo. I wasn’t sure that it would make much of a difference to my eyes but I just know,…
