Good days, Bad days… That’s life


Ok, ok… It’s been a long time since I wrote.  I’ve been meaning to, I just haven’t got around to it, you know how it is… life gets in the way.  Thanks to a few of my regular readers who haven’t let me slack off!! They’re holding me accountable and I like that!! So here I go.
Yep... All of this Gelato was consumed (over a week) while I was sick... and I have no regrets

I’ve been sick quite a bit this year.  All of a sudden, my immune system sucks!  I’m not gonna lie, I’m getting pretty sick of it too.  But hey, that’s life, I just have to deal with it as best I can.  So just last week, I spent five days straight in bed.  I could hardly move.  Ok, yeah, I mean… five days to bum around in bed, sounds like a dream come true, right?  Yeah, for the first few hours it was great!  Bed… Movies… Gelato (yes you read that correctly!) then I got bored and quickly went stir crazy.  I’m not the sort of person who is happy to sit around doing nothing.  Heck, I can’t even sit still through a one hour lecture!  A two plus hour tute and I have to go for a mid lesson walk!  Yep, my Uni friends can attest to that one!  So, while the gym was off limits to me (FOR TWO WHOLE WEEKS! URGH!) I decided that I was well enough to go for a walk (truth be told, I couldn’t bare the thought of losing my position on the fitbit leaderboard!).  Well, that was a bad idea, I was having trouble breathing and had to sit down on the curb!  Well, that was a slap in the face.  I felt totally useless and BORED! So I begrudgingly admitted defeat (and gave up top 10 on the leader board) and went back home to bed… and a delicious hot cross bun.  Sometimes I still console myself with food, that’s a deeply ingrained part of me, one that I still struggle with every day.  Somehow I think it will always be there to a certain extent.  However saying that, I’ve progressed, I can now stop at one, I don’t need the entire packet.  So that’s a win, and hey, you gotta celebrate every win, big or small.  Over two years and it’s now a part of me, it’s my life.  Healthy is my lifestyle.  Healthy is for life, and life has good and bad days, sometimes you just gotta do what you can with what you have.

Oh and on a side note, I went to visit my ‘best mate Mish’ on her Powerful Living Book Tour a few weeks ago too… Got smashed and then had a nice little chat!  Let the good days out number the bad =)
