I know that it was probably unrealistic of me to think that because I felt so good on Sunday the medication was working and everything had turned the corner - it definitely hasn't but I'll take one or two good days a week over no good days a week !
I know that I am loving the Kettle Sweet Potato chips but at $4 for 90g they really are a little too exepnsive for me to have as often as I would like. (Note : If any PR people from Kettle are reading this and would like to sponsor me some, that would be very well received and most appreciated !!!!)
I know that I have less than 6 weeks to fit in enough training for a 10km event. My trainer doesn't think it will be a problem so maybe I need to listen to him.
I know that I am going to win a Personal Planner sometime soon because I have entered that many giveways my name has to come up just now.
I know that tonight we are going out to dinner with BIL and SIL and we are going to have so much fun and lots of laughs - 'cos that is what happens whenever we get together.
I know that I need to get some decent sleep this weekend - I can't keep nearly falling asleep at work because I can't sleep at night.
I know that cooler nights make going to bed more pleasant - if only I could sleep when I was in bed. Having said that, A has had his teeth sorted out (no more being married to a bogan looking guy - yay !!!) and went and had the mold (sorry this is the right spelling but it just looks so wrong !!) taken for the mandibular splint TO STOP HIS SNORING !!!! It is driving me nuts again - and that will be ready on 7th March - for this reason alone I want the next three weeks to fly. With reference to point #3 above I hope that the next 3 weeks takes forever to go by (sometimes there is just no pleasing me - and I am taking total responsibility for that and not blaming menopause - well not this time anyway !!!)
I know that I need to get back to the no sugar mentality - I don't like what sugar, even the small amounts that I have had lately, do to me.
I know that I am not very good at keeping a gratitude journal - I need to work harder on this !!!
Have the best weekend ever and, if you haven't linked in, why not post a blog about what you know and link in with Miss Cinders ?

I think you could turn your things I know posts into a gratitude journal and kill too birds with one stone - great for you, no good for the birds -boomtish!
ReplyDelete6 weeks for 10 kms is plenty, says the woman who never runs anywhere.
Have a nap. Nothing can substitue for sleep.
you now have permission. Someone else said you could.
PMSL - thanks for that idea maybe I should try it out and see how I go !!!!
DeleteYAY - am off now to have a nap before dinner instead of going for a run !!
Have a great weekend and take care !

What Lydia said! You have reframed lots of problems as positives in there, I hope you are having more good days very soon. I have no doubt you'll be ready for the 10km. Listen to your trainer. xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Lee - I am trying really hard to keep it together - thank goodness I have A for support - he has really been amazing at helping me try to stay positive and patient.
DeleteHave a great Sunday afternoon !
Me
I third that notion!
ReplyDeleteI know every time I read your blog a little piece of jealousy creeps up on me lol I envy your running! I must start walking. Must! I can't give up chocolate and not do something with it hey?!
Have a fabulous weekend chick! xx
LOL - thanks Miss Cinders ! Please don't be jealous - I really do what to use this blog to keep myself motivated to keep going and if I can help to motivate someone else - YAY !!!!
DeleteFor sure you can't give up chocolate and not doing something else !!
Have a great Sunday afternoon !

I too am married to a bogan toothed man. Only mine is a complete wimp about getting his fixed.
ReplyDeleteIs it wrong that I'm considering taking to his pearly whites with a semi-cushioned sledge hammer, in his sleep, so that he must fix them?
I'm kidding.
A little.
No really, I am.
I'll just drug him up and sleeper-hold him to the dentist.
A is terrified of the dentist - his Mom got the dentist to pull some of their back teeth out when they were kids - go figure ???? He once had a temporary crown for 5 years !
DeleteThis dentist is the nicest mose gentle dentist I have ever come across otherwise there is no way that he would go to him - he hates them too !!
If you need a hand with the sleeper hold to get him there - happy to help out - just let me know the time and place !!!!
Have a great Sunday !
Me
I really hope you win one of those planners lovely. I just had mine delivered this week, it is a bit special. Sorry didn't mean to be like I was rubbing it in, I really hope one comes your way. Super great about the training, go you, wishing you all the best for the race
ReplyDeleteLOL - It's all good Rhianna - I am just so pleased for the company that they are doing so well !!! They have a great product and I have no problem promoting it because it is so good.
DeleteThanks for your good wishes for my training !
Have the best week !

I get the snoring, Michael got a clear thingy that he wears in his mouth at night, definitely reduced the snoring, along with the nights he sleeps on the couch because it is too hot. Went to a specialist to address the snoring, being a man it all became to hard, shall try again as I like the sound of the Mandibular splint. xxx Rae
ReplyDeleteA's snoring got so bad he went to a thoracic surgeon and we have been through sleep studies and CPAP machines and apparently his snoring isn't bad enough to warrant the CPAP machine - and this splint should do the trick. He would have had the splint ages ago if I hadn't been nagging him for the past 3 or 4 years to get his teeth sorted out but he had to have it done over Dec/Jan so that I could claim it all in one tax year but in two private health cover years !!!!!
DeleteWishing you every success - I totallly sympathise with anyone who has to put up with a snoring partner !
Have a great week!
