Proud of my small steps!

So for the last week every day, bar one I think, I have done the 5 minute mini workout. 5 squats, 5 lunges, 5 push ups, 5 calf raises and 5 tricep dips. Simple and easy, and I achieved it! Might seem small and almost insignificant to someone who goes running or to the gym … Continue reading Proud of my small steps!

An Amazing Woman.

So I've been having a pretty crappy stressy time of it lately. The kids are driving me up the wall and I've been wound up and cross about everything.

10th June (June is For Joy!)

Made a cheesecake for my niece's birthday as a surprise and she was delighted with it. Love making someone feel special, it makes me feel good too.

I definitely feel much better when I see people who build me up and are positive for me. I had a nice day, even though I … Continue reading 4th June!

June is for Joy!

Love love love this! I only saw this today, so that is why I'm starting this late! But it is just a lovely idea, and to be honest it is exactly what I need at the moment. Another daily reason to post something that brings joy (and hence gratitude). It's not my idea, I saw … Continue reading June is for Joy!

Trying To Get Organised Ahead of Time

And yet it is killing me that my house is a mess and I have so much I'm supposed to be doing. But I just can't be arsed to do it. … Continue reading When Do We Need Help with Our Mental Health?

Different Stages of Life in Friendships

Yesterday I spent the day with friends that I would count as very good friends, who I have been friends with for over 20 years, but don't see that much of and who aren't very good at keeping in touch by text etc. I have lots of friends like this, and usually when we meet … Continue reading Different Stages of Life in Friendships

Day 1 Small Step Success!

So I did it. My small step for yesterday was to drink at least 2 litres of water, which I know shouldn't be a difficult thing, and it used not to be - but recently I just haven't managed it! But yesterday I made myself stay accountable, and I did it! So I easily got … Continue reading Day 1 Small Step Success!
