MY INDULGENCE
Sory I didn't post yeterday but I came down with a terrible cold and spent the day feeling sorry for myself, accompanied by lots of eating. Some people can't eat when they get sick but it has the opposite effect on me. My resistance lowers and I try to make myself feel better with food. Took my daughter to school at 3.30am and then came home to pack. I am leaving this morning for 5 days in Queensland. When my DD decided to go on the ski trip I thought , hmm, free for 5 days so I booked this trip. I don't have to be a mum/wife/boss. You know I love being a mum but cannot remember when I had time without the demands of looking after someone else. My manager retired to Qld 18mths ago. She worked for me for 15 years and I miss her terribly. So I rang her and on a night when there was an airfare sale bought the tickets. Now my DH thinks this is very bad of me because as it turns out he lef tthis weekend for our country job and I am supposed to run the office. I asked my DS to help and he said yes then he has been called away to the country job as well. Of course the guilts set in but with a lot of soul searching last week and yesterday I did not give in. I can be contacted by mobile so my office girl will manage...I hope. I will go in there this morning todo th epayroll an dthen go straight to the airport.
When I began this journey this year it was not just about weight loss. It was about finding a me that I could be happier with. I was very depressed and miserable and realised that I had to start looking after myself. So as I said to my DH if I want to do something and it is not hurting anyone then I will do it. I am having one night with my friend and then 3 nights at a resort with a health spa. I plan on lots of walking, facials, massages, good food, good book and lots of time just for me. Hence lots of indulgence. I knowI will not diet and will gain but with the week I have planned thats OK. I can get back into it next week.
An added bonus is that one of my blog friends lives up there so I will get to meet her. Can't wait as she has been very supportive.
I don't know if I will get near a computer, I hope so but you all be good and have a good week.
