Things I Know

Linking in with Stacey-Lee for Team Friday, Miss Cinders for Things I Know and Grace for FYBF today.

Following on from my post yesterday, I know that if I listen to my osteopath and my trainer I will be back training sooner than if I listen to my head (may have something to do with all the training/studying they have had/done compared to me - not sure, just saying !!!)

I know that I have given my back until the end of the weekend before I will even tackle going for a walk on Monday after work.  Depending on how that goes will determine what my next step (pun totally intended) will be.

I know that I am TOTALLY proud of K for the work that she does with SES - especially the last two nights from 6pm-2am with schoolies.  She came home absolutely shattered at 3am this morning after the incredibly sad death of a 17yr old girl who fell from a balcony onto the pool deck at Chevron Renaissance.  What a waste of a young life - when will these kids get it ?????

I know that I am looking forward to catching up with a friend tomorrow, firstly to give her a reflexology treatment and then for us to go out and have a good old fashioned chin-wag catch up - it has been months since we have got together and I know we will have a good time.  Our stomach muscles will get the best work out - laughter !

I know that I am happy with how my eating plan is going.  I feel so much healthier and my energy levels are so much better - why would I change it and go back to eating the cr*p that I was eating ?  Well, I'm not.  I am going to continue with this, with an exception, if, on the odd occasion, I feel like eating something with wheat, dairy or sugar (like on the weekend), I am going to have it - and then see how it makes me feel so I can gauge just how often I can (or can't) have it. 

I know that it is getting closer to Christmas and I am no closer to doing anything about it than I was 6 months ago.  Having said that, I have at least been thinking about what we are going to do, which is a step closer than not having even given it a thought - so I suppose, in that respect, I am just a teeny tiny bit closer !!!

Have the best day ever - take care and look after yourself.  If you know anyone coming to schoolies from inter-state - please, please, please tell them to take care and look after each other to prevent another tragedy from happening.

  1. Good girl for listening to the osteo and the trainer! backs are finnicky. You don't want it to get any worse than it already is, that is for sure! But I also know how very hard it is to be out of action when you really just want to go exercise! Hope it's come right by Monday. Hvae a fantastic weekend!

  4. Good on you for having a little taste of something when you really feel like it. I think that make the difference between a short-lived diet and a lifestyle you can live with!

    1. Thanks - that is what I am hoping is going to make the difference for me - I can only try having yo-yo'ed for so long. I need to find what will make the difference for me.
      Have a great weekend !

  5. Was devastated to hear of that young girl's death this morning on the radio - too bloody sad. Have a great weekend, I will bear in mind that laughter is a good workout... especially when I get to the gym early on Monday morning for my first session with trainer in four weeks. Gulp.

    1. Yes, so incredibly sad. For sure laughter is a great work out - my stomach is always sore the next day after we have had a catch up !!
      Good luck with your training - hopefully I will be back on Tuesday after work.
      Have a great weekend !

  6. Wow how sad for that young girl and her family... such a loss so young.
    Christmas... we are not doing anything but having family come and go... and I'm hoping to emerge on the other side without having gone insane!
    I hope whatever you do it's fun!

  10. Tragic news about the young girl. Thoughts and prayers go out to her family.
    Take it easy with your back. If both your trainer and osteo are giving you the same advice then, you know what you need to do. Take care of you :) x
