I would guess that I've put on weight. I have not been eating great, not helped by travelling lots for a dance festival (3rd in Junior Modern Groups, and 4th in Junior Modern Trios) so having easy to eat foods (like sausage rolls, crisps, etc) next to me to eat whilst I'm driving.
I am, however, generally feeling better about myself.
I've also stopped writing 3 things I'm thankful for, and 1 thing I value about myself. I should restart that, because I do find it helpful, and it definitely helps my mood and self-worth. But I am feeling good about myself.
What I need to start doing, is translating this increase in self-worth into self-care; specifically physically. Writing gratitude is self-care emotionally, but I also want to get to a stage where I purposely eat the right things and move my body more, not as a chore, but because I deserve it.
I do live in the future (and almost always have done) and whilst I am slowly getting better at living in the moment, I still think "things will be better when...". Right now, we're trying to get our kitchen done. We've lived in this house 4.5 years, and though the kitchen isn't that bad, there's hardly any storage nor work-surface space. So, the time was right to get our kitchen done up. We've chosen a local family company, so are no waiting for them to book us in. But, when the kitchen is done, then I'll be able to meal prep and have much better, healthier foods. She says. In theory. We'll see.
