January 10th and the year is getting off to a reasonable start. So far no colds or flu's which is good news. My healthy eating is going well. I am having a grapefruit for breakfast, a banana or home made soup or sometimes both for lunch alternative is banana in yogurt and a reasonable but healthy dinner and I allow myself two christmas chocolates as a treat. This has got to work surely please.
I was going to cut out all alcohol till March the 1st but failed miserably the first weekend and finished a bottle of wine I had opened for a recipe on Friday. I might just cut out the alcohol during the week.
I've also started the strictly come dancing dvd with Lorraine. That was hilarious as it is so complicated to follow and just seeing Lorraine slightly over weight trying to do fox trot steps in her living room was so funny. We had to stop a couple of times to do a wee as our weak bladders couldn't cope with jumping up and down.... ahh age gets us.
As a result of all the above I have been feeling much better both physically and emotionally. I have also been sleeping much better as well. Although work is still scary and there are tough times ahead its all been good fun, yesterday finished by going to a pantomime and sitting with a hundred kids all screaming look behind you.
Children really throw themselves into the fun of it and watching the children from Sams place really get excited and enjoy themselves was fantastic. What a lovely job I have sometimes.
Mr V is on holiday this week an so far I have put him off several times. He wanted to come round here on Monday but those days are gone as far as I am concerned. I don't want all that bouncing around at the moment. Maybe when I am a bit fitter who knows but not now. I also put off going to meet him late last night and said I couldn;t make it and turned phone off. I ought to finish it really but I suppose I am hanging on cos I don't completely want to give him up and regret it later, a bit like keeping an old jumper cos I might just wear it again sometime in the future. He can go in the bottom drawer.
I have not really been anywhere and to be honest don't want to go anywhere either. I want to stay in my cosy if messy and unconstructed house. I want to carry on making soups and at the weekend I want to venture into the muddy and messy garden and start snipping and pruning and preparing the soil for growing vegatables which is my new aim this year. I am currently trying to find a way of not going to Southampton next weekend which is horrible as it is my Dad's birthday.
I have also been trying to be nice to Richard and talk to him which is not easy to break old habits but I got thinking that poor Phil lives in a silent house where we only talk to him and not each other which must have been strange for him to grow up in. I bet Chris notices the difference when he visits Fiona's home.
Right off to sort myself out for another day. I have a warm purry grey cat on my lap, the day is just getting light, Phil is in the bathroom and the radio is on. Richard is going to come downstairs in a minute and I will try and talk to him about something positive.
