Weekend update

So the weekend wasn't a complete disaster. I've noticed that when I fill in my food/mood diary, I tend not to get the diarrhoea (sorry this may be TMI for this hour of the morning!) but when I don't fill in the diary, the tummy upsets follow. My rational brain tells me there is no direct link between me writing in a diary and the doings of my stomach, so it must be that the tummy upsets arise from my eating behaviour when I don't fill in the diary – almost as if this is behaviour I don't want to record  for whatever reason. In other news, I have very little idea what I ate for Thurs and most of Friday last week but the evidence in the missing chocolate etc would point to mass consumption of that. Possibly because I was tired (exhausted!) all last week and stressed as well cos of the interview. I know being tired is one of my unhealthy eating triggers so normally I tend to watch that, but last week it was unavoidable.

 

So to move on. I've kept within budget this weekend, something I've very proud of. I have also accidentally spent money on my credit card so moved the money from my bank account to the credit account as soon as I got home. I did a lot of walking and managed my steps goals for Saturday AND Sunday. I'm very proud of both and of the fact that I cooked dinner for myself over the weekend and made myself some nice food for during the week.

Exercise wise – I finally broke open my fitness coach Wii game and did an hour last night. There's a lot of work there on core conditioning which I need but I found it really difficult – partly because I was doing it on straight carpet, instead of using my mat. Once I rooted out the mat it got easier but I was already tired at that point. So I am happy I did it and I certainly ended up with a sweat so all is good.

The house is clean and tidy – I changed the spare room bed over the weekend in preparation for Ma and Da's visit next weekend. Next step is to move the ebay things from the living room and tidy them away in my bedroom so the main living areas in the house don't look too cluttered. It means my bedroom looks cluttered but then Ma and Da are used to that!

I do want to carry out a major clear out of my bedroom. There are clothes in there that I will never wear, I know that, so there's no need to keep them in there as 'stuff'. A major assault needed here I think, since it will never get done if I don't get moving soon. I could potentially clear out all the clothes on my shelves and just have done with them and a lot of the underwear needs to go as well, creating more space for me really. Minimalist living is the way to go......aside from the books obviously!

 

So there we go – my trainer is back off his holidays this week so I must check to see what time I've booked him. I think it's tomorrow night but I will see. All systems go. Now if only all this decluttering will pay off when I next move house!
