Woke up this morning a bit angry at the world! Now that I've eaten I feel much better :) I actually had a really good, filling breakfast. Who knew eating healthy could make one so full?! Considering my old diet consisted of coffee, coffee, coffee, HUGE lunch because I was starving, then continue eating rubbish til bed. Seems I replaced alcohol with food there for a while. But I'm on track now, I've kept up with healthy eating all day yesterday (yey - not one cheat!) and have done 17 minutes of cardio every morning this week - that makes 4 days in a row. Even lifted a few weights this morning. Ok they were only 1 kg weights but I felt it. Should give you an indication of how out of shape I am/ was!
I did up my to do list yesterday too. I had 3 things on it and got them all done. Pretty proud of myself. Funny though, I did these three things and somehow my house ended up a mess. None of the things were tidy the house. So I need to account for that and not just take housework as a given.
Today's list:
- call the bank
- call real estate agent about a house we like (yey!)
- vacumm house (haha - needs to be done!)
Also need to take the kids out this morning and oh ya - there is a sale on at our local fabric shop so obviously I have to go there!
Must be on my way... so much to do :)
I am a wife and mother of 2 who has come through postnatal depression but became addicted to alcohol while doing so. I have told a bit of my drinking in this blog, my first attempt to quit and then finally how I had my last drink on the 14th of August, 2012. This blog is my way of not so much returning to the woman I was before I had kids, but hopefully emerging a more rounded, happier and more secure person because of all I've been through and all I am learning from my experiences.

Wow, it over here I call it the minutiae of life - just trying to find some meaning in the daily life activities - there is mindfulness meditation - where you practise finding attention to the smallest detail of daily life is satisfying and gives meaning - if that makes sense.
