As I sit here writing I am trying to think about what's important to me; what do I want out of my life? Who do I want to be, what do I want to do, what's going to fulfill me? This is something that's been in the back of my mind for a while now … Continue reading What do I want?
Consistency is key
Consistency is key. Argh, I know I will start to see results as I string one good day with another and another and another blah blah blah. But it's so hard because, as far as I'm concerned nothing has changed thus far with my body. I don't feel a loosening in my clothes and I … Continue reading Consistency is key
Busy little bee!
Busy little bee. Today has been a great but relatively busy day for me! Tristan woke, as he seems to be doing every morning these days, at 5am. By 7am we were up and dressed and ready for breakfast. After I dropped him off at school I hit the gym and had a great workout. … Continue reading Busy little bee!
My body…
My body. Love it or hate it, I have to accept it. Well that's what "they" say, but I don't want to accept it the way it is currently. Today I weigh 87kgs, that's already 1,7kg down from my last official weigh-in a week ago (and I'm due to get my period any day now). … Continue reading My body…
A feeling I can’t put my finger on
A feeling I can't put my finger on. I wasn't going to write anything today, but I'm sitting in bed (it's 9:20pm) and I have a feeling that I can't name; I can put my finger on exactly what it is. I know it feels uncomfortable and uneasy. It makes me feel a little scared … Continue reading A feeling I can’t put my finger on
The hand break (and other things)
The hand break (and other things) Friday afternoon resulted in T and I going to visit Nats for wine around 4:30pm. I'd taken T's dinner with us because then, for a change, I didn't have to rush home for dinner time and it was lovely. At 6pm we headed home but N had a girlfriend … Continue reading The hand break (and other things)
Feeling inspired!
Feeling inspired!. Went to a meet up group today of female entrepreneurs and it was amazing with a capital A! I just loved hearing about everyone's business and each one was able to ask a question which we could all offer answers / solutions to and it was great! It made me realize just how … Continue reading Feeling inspired!
Severe postnatal depression without psychotic episodes
Severe postnatal depression without psychotic episodes. That was my diagnosis; see, there's always a silver lining. I wasn't having psychotic episodes! Yay!!! That diagnosis was given in February this year, 14 months after my son was born. Yup, that's right, I left it undiagnosed and untreated for 14 whole months! How you ask, well, I … Continue reading Severe postnatal depression without psychotic episodes
Dinner time
Dinner time in our house has become a bit of a nightmare and battle. Since T got sick on holiday (early July) he's not been keen on food, well dinner in particular. For the last few nights it's just been unpleasant with him not really touching his food. This evening I made him parmesan crusted … Continue reading Dinner time
Where I’m at
Where I'm at. I guess I should start by laying out where I am at, i.e. what's happening with me right now, today, Tuesday 25 July 2017. Weight: argh this is a CONSTANT battle in my life and even more so since Tristan was born. Due to my severe post natal depression (more about that … Continue reading Where I’m at
