So, at my weigh in yesterday I lost 1.6lbs. Happy to be on my way down again! It's definitely been tough getting back into things after what seems like forever of hovering around the same number. But, I've had some little victories along the way - putting food back after picking it up in the kitchen, etc. Having an end goal (my holiday) is actually helping me keep focused quite a lot at the moment.
Today hasn't gone super well - I went to the hospital to get my splint off and start physio, but, my hand hasn't healed as fast as they'd hoped, so, I'm stuck with my hand strapped up for another two weeks, plus whatever the physio/recovery time is after that. So frustrating! I was really looking forward to getting back to normal life (actually being able to shop for myself, for instance). The major issue is - I take photos and my first booking of the year is Saturday and I'm now in an awkward position, where, I either do the work with my hand strapped up and risk not doing so brilliantly, or let them down. Neither of which are where I want to be. Sigh.
It's also just been a weird few days - I went to look at new cars and am confused about whether to drop a lot of money on a car I really want, or save my money and get a car that's alright. And my boyfriend asked me to live with him on Saturday. It's odd - I was waiting for him to ask really, but, now I'm not so sure what I want to do. I just like being alone, but... Ugh, I don't know. I'm kind of sick of my flat with the neighbour noise, mice, crappy shower, limited storage, etc. But, I don't want to regret not spending longer alone when I look back at this point in my life. What to do...
Well done on the loss! Hope your hand heals soon :( if you're not certain about moving in with your partner definitely speak to him about it and consider it fully before committing - you could maybe do a trial run for a week or two to see how you feel? Then at least you won't lose your flat if you feel more comfortable alone at the moment
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteYeah, I have told him about my concerns - we have a few months before we can leave our flats anyway, so I have time. We've stayed together for weeks at a time anyway, so, I'm not concerned that we can't get on, just more that I'll miss the freedom to do anything I want like I can alone... Hmmm...

whoop whoop on the loss! Its scary when you make that first step, I have lived with Biggy for 3 years ...we moved in together after 3 months of dating...living together takes time to work as you both have ways you do things...but before you know it you have ways that "you" do things..and you do still have time to have your own space...Biggy has his nights where he can do what he wants and I have the same. Just think about is calmly and rationally..
ReplyDeleteGood luck!!! xx
Thank you!
DeleteThat's a great point - we've been together for 2.5 years, so, I know I like him (haha), it's really just not being able to dance around in headphones at 2am and things like that which bothers me...

well done on your loss!! Just be honest about what you want if you move in together, and see if you can come up with some form of "plan" like certain nights you like to yourself etc. What you would do if need some alone time.
ReplyDeleteThanks! :-)
DeleteYeah, I think we need to talk it through some more now I've had time to think...! x
