Things I Know

Today I am linking in with Miss Cinders from Saturday Morning Ogre and Grace from With Some Grace with Things I Know - in no particular order (because I have been listening to the Oscar nominations !!) :

- I know that I have over 300 blog posts in Google Reader that I have not read - I may need to "Tick All As Read" and start over again.

- I know that sometimes I feel overwhelmed because I can't get to read all the blogs I follow  - I can't even keep up with the linkies that I join in !! (I am still only up to #45 from #IBOT with Essentially Jess.)

- I know that even though I am not eating sugar, dairy, wheat or soft drinks, I can put on weight by eating too many nuts and having my portion sizes too big.

- I know that I can't live on tuna and rice salad just because it is so hot and I can't be bothered to eat anything else.

- I know that I am learning so much about my body and what it can (or can't) do.

- I know that I have the best, most encouraging, most supportive PT that I could wish for.

- I know that I am working on being kinder to myself.  Last night I was saying that I was unfit - the truth is not that I am unfit, it is that I am not as fit as I used to be.  I was pleased when I made that distinction in my head because it means that I am slowly changing the negative self talk that has dogged me for so many years.

- I know that I love feeling DOMS on the days after pushing myself at training.

- I know that I need to be open to changing my exercise plans if I start them and find that they aren't working like I thought they would (I thought I had this one in the bag - clearly I was mistaken !!).

- I know that A is working this weekend and I will have Sunday to myself - and I am looking forward to some lovely, quiet 'me' time !!

Have the best weekend everyone - and share the blog love around !!!

    Google Reader is evil, it makes me feel guilt... so I don't go there much any more! lol

    Well done on noticing the turn around in your way of thinking! Have you got any idea how much of a huge thing that is?!

    Well done hunny! I reckon that's an awesome TIK list :)

    Thanks for linking up to TIK xxx

      Thanks for hosting TIK each week - I love that there is somewhere I can go to add what I know !! (Sometimes it makes me feel a little less stupid because I know that I know some things (even if none of what I know is rocket science !!!!))
      Have the best day !

    I know exactly what you mean about keeping up with reading blogs, I really love doing it but sometimes it is hard to get round them all no matter how much you enjoy them. Your commitment to health and exercise is brilliant, I think that it is really good to be so intune with your body, you know what works for you, that means that when you falll off the wagon you know what you need to do to get back on the right track, There are really not a lot of people that can do that it is great that you are able to take control.

      Thanks Rhian - I still have a long way to go but I figure if I don't start and take small steps to get there, this time next year I will still be where I am today !!
      There is a quote I found somewhere that goes along the lines of - even if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there !!
      Have a great weekend !

    So many wonderful posts to read, and nowhere near enough time! It's not fair really!
    Enjoy your Sunday. My family have only been back a week and already I feel like I could do with some more 'me' time! lol

      It's hard isn't it - when they aren't there you miss them and sometimes there is too much peace and quiet but when they are there you wish you had just a little bit of peace and quiet !!!
      HAve a great weekend !

    That Zig Ziglar quote is great!
    As important it is to keep healthy and fit, I think it is really important to give your body a rest when it needs it.
    I know what you mean about nuts. I over do it with them to and wonder why I feel so bloated!

      I think tonight might be a rest night for me as we have a family get together to farewell MIL and niece.
      I know that I often eat at work because I am bored - not because there isn't enough work but because the work isn't that interesting and I think "Oh, I'll brighten my day by having some nuts !!!!"
      Have a great weekend !

      Thansk Mrs BC - was going to run to a family farewell but on second thoughts have decided that it may not be that pleasant sitting around all stinky and sweaty given how hot it still is at 5.30pm !!!
      Have the best weekend and thanks for stopping by !

    I really hope you enjoy your 'me' time - there are few chances when we can just do what we want.
    I'm with you in regards to portion size, in saying that I'm truly on rations at the moment, and it's bloody hard, but once I lose my baby (okay 3 babies) weight, I'll be able to reintroduce it all again.
    BTW, I love that I'm the only person who can use my ability :)

    I recently marked all the unread posts as read. And then linked the feeds to flipbook. It's like having a glossy magazine to read. :)

    Yay for cutting yourself a little bit of slack about the fitness. Life is all about perspective and sometimes that can be the toughest thing to change but it sounds like you are making ground there. Fairy wishes and butterfly kisses lovely. Enjoy your Me time

      I am certainly working on it Rhianna - that is all that I can do right now - I just wish it wasn't so difficult !!!!!
      I had some great 'me' time thank you - more than I expected due to MIL's ticket and itinerary being different !
      Have the best week !
      Love, hugs and positive energy !

    Yes, also with me, very frustrating not to be able to read all the blogs I like. When I do a linky my rule is that I need to read and comment on a minimum of five. Five's good enough. Great to change that negative self talk, a waste of energy.

    Just sitting down at my computer with a cuppa on Sunday: one kid watching TV, one on Wii, one reading and one playing drums. Not quiet but very precious snatched 'me' time!!

      That's a great idea - make sure I get to 5 other blogs - as you say it certainly is better than just dropping my link in there and scooting out again !!!
      So glad you got some 'me' time even if it wasn't very quiet - you totally deserve it !
      Have the best week !
