Think I’m going to need a bigger footstool…

Well we haven’t had this view for a while! I woke up with a snotty nose, sore sinuses and a banging headache. Typical when I had a lovely day planned.

So today I’ve rested and listened to my NLP course. It’s audio files so I’ve sat in the conservatory and absorbed the information as best I can.

Hugo has spent most of the day asleep on my lap. My head is a little fuzzy now – from the snot and NLP. Don’t get me wrong, I’m loving learning it, but it does make your head hurt sometimes.

Hoping to being back to my normal scintillating self tomorrow…

Dodo was very interested in Pilates today. I needed it after all the painting yesterday. She managed to sit in front of the camera to watch, which the other participants found a little distracting. All I could hear was cooing rather than the usual groaning…

One of my birthday presents was this beautiful picture of my birth flower. I had no idea it was a lily. I love it. It works perfectly on my new Mulberry wall.

What to do on a rainy day?! Paint your feature wall of course!!

I was aiming for Mulberry when I originally painted it but it came out a lot more pink than I’d planned (bottom photos are before). While I did love the pink, it wasn’t the look I was going for. So today I got the colour I was aiming for.

Goodbye Moroccan Velvet, hello Mulberry Burst.

Isn’t it amazing how a coat of paint can completely change the feel of a room? It looks so luxurious and decadent. I love it!

This is the face of one very chilled out little boy! Someone really, really enjoyed his massage today. Thank you Norfolk Equine Sports Massage.

This makes me smile so much!

Woke up with heavy legs today so decided to have an easier day. Hugo was helping me study my NLP course. He’s inthralled, can’t you tell?!

So we went out in the lorry for the first time this year! I wasn’t sure how it would be as it’s been a long time, but Buddy loaded first time! We headed out to Brampton for a lesson with Nick Turner. Learnt a lot and came away with homework. Buddy was Mr Chilled today.

While I was in hospital after my surgery, one of the senior nurses became very concerned about my weight. She told me that because my BMI said I was underweight she had to refer me to a dietician. I wasn’t at my best granted, having just redecorated my room several times, so wasn’t really paying much attention. A morphine migraine and low blood pressure will do that for you.

To be honest I hadn’t really thought too much about it. But today had a call from a dietician to discuss everything.

We went through what I eat, my attitude to food, my views on my weight. It was a really good conversation.

She was happy that I have an awareness of my relationship with food and that I’m trying to do my best. I’m one of this annoying people who forgets to eat, so that fact I know this helps me to be more proactive.

Food is the first thing to go with me. If I’m busy, tired or stressed I stop eating. And struggle to put on weight.

She was happy that while I’m slight, I have a varied diet and am trying to get the calories I need.
