Spring cleaning my head

Spring cleaning my head

Today was a sorting stuff type of day, no lunches or dinners out just a day at home "sorting".

I've been taking photos and writing bits and bobs but for some reason not getting my head round finishing my journal posts enough to publish them!

But today I'm going to sort it out, even though it's pretty late in the day, but better late than never!

Whilst taking a few product shots for a new talented client I thought I should look up and take in the lovely blue sky and I have to say that view really reminded me what a physical slump I have been in during this terrible wet winter, I miss the cool bright sunny days we usually get around my birthday and where the hell is the snow?!!!!

My mental health is great at the moment but physically I've really neglected myself throughout this winter, too wet to cycle, not enough motivation for the boring gym, I just need to literally get out more! In the fresh air not the pub!!! I've piled on the pounds too the last few months, first I blamed it on extreme stress eating, and now it's the comfort of fun evenings out with people I love. Excuses, excuses I know, and now I have to start making some choices that mean I feel more healthy and less weighty!! My clothes don't fit and I'm out of breath so moving and less carbs is what I need and that's simply what I have to do because no one else can do that for me.

Therapeutically I've faced so much these last few months and won many an internal battle which I'm so proud of myself for and maybe instead of giving myself rewards of things I love to do I've used food again as my reward, comfort and celebration.

Now I have to face that it's time to concentrate on my external self a little bit more and look after my health again so I feel even

So come on rain give me a cycle break!!!
