turpsI ended up Bodhisitting for three days recently.
Saturday, from 7 to about 11. Sunday, 9:30 to 4 and Monday, from 7 but walking her to school at 8:20.
But, it was fun times, even though she continues to wonder why I walk so slow and cost us a fortune on Sunday when we took her grocery shopping, then to the park, then out for dinner. The walking slowly comments aren't her being mean, she just doesn't get that I'm not like her and can't spend half my life running.
She did make me laugh on the walk to school. Part of the journey is crossing a busy main road, so I do hurry up to cross that, and got a 'well done auntie Terri, you did your first run' when we got to the other side.
James is off for nearly two weeks from today. It's his main annual leave from work, and while we can't afford to go away on holiday we are planning some day trips, and lots of cinema, gym, walks and swimming visits. Also, lots of mornings not having to get up to an alarm. On Friday we're at the theatre to watch Moulin Rouge, which should be fun. Then Saturday at a craft fair, and fingers crossed will get some actual customers.
Today was class and then a one to one with Rosie afterwards. Not anything big to report this time, just a couple more pounds dropped and it was mainly a chat about what I wanted to achieve, and right now it's to remain consistent and keep doing what I'm doing.
The other day I found an old diary I'd filled in for a while. At the time I was about a month away from turning 16, and had noted down how much I weighed over a few dates. What shocked me was that, right now I'm about four pounds away from being four stone lighter than I was at age 15, and that was a harsh reminder of how long I've battled my weight.
It's been a life time of struggle and while it's going okay right now, I can never relax for fear of backsliding yet again. it's no wonder my joints protest at times, and really, I'm lucky that I don't have many more health issues than I actually do.
On a different note, James got free tickets to go to the circus, so that's where we off to this evening. It's at the beach and seems to include a lot of car stunts as well as acrobats etc. So, I suppose I'd better change out of my gym clothes and attempt to look semi presentable.
