I haven’t been out in over a week! 🤦🏻‍♀️😵😑😱😰

I need to get back to it.

But it’s report season and learning from home means creating many work packs!

I am going to spend some time making a plan at some point today.

Yesterday we went for a walk.

Looked it up online, finally found one that said it was about 7k through woodland with hills. Thought it would be challenging but fun.

This was the reality:

It was a circular walk. I forgot to start recording the walk on my Fitbit...and there were many hills.

Today. My legs hurt.

I don’t usually post these but this one seemed a little fun as I haven’t got too much on mine! I wonder what people think! 💭

Went for a run (aka shuffle) yesterday!

It’s week 4 of couch to 5K, so part of this is walking, and part is shuffling!

[runningoncemorewithfeeling]

I was bought a glorious new headscarf and I love it.

Happy birthday!!!!

Thank you! ♥️♥️♥️

Fitbit!

Don’t be judging my steps. I’m having a day of doing nought, as it’s my birthday!

[runningoncemorewithfeeling]

Here is said cake.

Shock horror I haven’t run in a few days.

I’ve got some serious guilt but I’m trying to process that in a good way rather than beating myself up or it becomes such a big issue.

It’s my birthday tomorrow - I’ve been baking a cake today and sorting bits and I’ve been at work the day before and it’s just been a little busy.

I’m seeing my partner and moving into his for a while Saturday but by Monday/Tuesday I will be back on it with food and running. A few days off isn’t going to take me back to stage one.

I edited a photo of mine today and I thought it was pretty.

I have decided to stay curious. It feels midway between pessimism and optimism. It’s like I think awful things might happen but I’m curious about it and I wanna know.

It’s like what happens if I don’t give up?

What happens if I keep running?

How will I keep this up when I’m working more?

What will I do in winter again?

Stay curious rather than defeatist.

Took a step to help myself today that I’m actually sort of happy about.

I ordered some plus sized clothes. I don’t fit into half my wardrobe at the moment and was already getting fear about having to be outside in clothes that do not fit.

I am loathed to spend money especially when I am currently loosing a bit of weight, but I need to be happy in the body I am in now. Not just waiting to be skinny. Might send them all back. They might not fit. But they might help 👍🏻

I also hate that I threw all my plus sized clothes out with a convinced mind I wasn’t going to need them again. Which is a tricky one to revisit. But things change. No one expected a pandemic. I didn’t expect to find running in colder months quite so hard on my chest. I didn’t expect to get a job quite so far away meaning time became more of an issue. Life is unexpected. Just need to chill and not beat myself up.

Busy head at the moment

Tomorrow: Actually physically into work!

I’m a teacher. Currently I live with someone who is shielding so I haven’t been in with the kids for a while. But we are creating learning pack for the children, and they need sorting and printing and putting into packs. All the hard creative planning has been done though.

Wednesday: Nothing yet.

I feel like I’m forgetting something. Jobs such as sorting out shopping and things like that.

Thursday: Baking a cake.

Baking and icing a cake. Hopefully. We are struggling to get icing sugar at the moment, I really hope we get it!

Friday: It’s my birthday.

Lockdown birthday. Having some nice food with my mum and just relaxing probably! No plans for activities.

Saturday: Going to my Boyfriend’s.

With schools wider opening I’m moving out of the house which has the person who is shielding and in with my boyfriend who is a key worker too. Its an odd mix of stressful and exciting. I don’t want to leave home I’m not great with change and in a pandemic things are ‘changed’ enough. But this is the safest thing to do. But counting down to it is stressful and I’m happy in my routines here and going back to work is scary. But the plus side is I haven’t seen my boyfriend for over 2 months now.

I saw bunnies! Not sure you can see them properly and I saw many more than this. But it was lovely! 🐇🐰
