What a bad blogger I've been!
Anyhow, here I am- Xmas is over, DD1's party is over , NYE is over and it's January.
Kids are off school until Tuesday, they need to go back soon as they are driving me mental! It's been quite cold here, no snow or anything but a couple of frosts and getting them outside for some activity has been a challenge.
My knee has improved quite a bit with physio and now I'm on on a regime of trying to walk 'normally' everyday- so for maybe 20-30 minutes. Then I can start upping the pace.I don't have any decent shoes yet either, I also need to get a coat for walking in. Preferably one with a fleece lining- I don't have anything suitable that fits at the moment and trying to squeeze into too small ones is so depressing. I find that nothing gives me a panic attack about my weight as not having clothes that fit comfortably. I'm much more relaxed about my weight and my eating if I know I have clothes.
I've really been eating out of mouth hunger the majority of the time. There is so much food around that I don't usually have in the house. I thought I'd dealt with my legalisation issues but obviously not for chocolate biscuits ( really nice ones), boxes of chocs, mince pies and brandy butter and cheese. Oh well, life's a bitch......
I haven't even been asking myself if I really want something when I'm not actually hungry. I guess I'm a bit afraid that I have really lost my way on this journey but today I've been taking it easy, waiting for stomach hunger to come along and then paying attention for signs of satisfaction. I was out for lunch today and turned down a flap jack because I was satisfied- now there's one for the bank. I had a little binge when I got home again though- we'll actually I was hungry for Xmas pudding and custard but we didn't have any, so I had chocolate biscuits instead and then discovered a forgotton pack of mince pies....so I had two of those with the custrd instead and they did very well. A classic case of ' should have' eaten what I really wanted.
Yay, it's the weekend!
