monday can naff off

Urhhhhhh... is it the weekend yet???

Im not enjoying this being back at work malarky! i think i got waaay to used to having free-time over half term cos it was NOT fun getting back to the old "wake up at 6am" routine again. not cool alarm clock... not cool :(

PLUS after a full mornings teaching, i managed to develope a killer headache, which i havent been able to shake all day... not what i needed on the first day back!

On the plus-side we didnt have a staff meeting, which i thought we did! yipeee! so instead i came home and me and the roomie chilled out, she gave me a head massage to try and stop the headache (kindof helped... until she squidged my eyeballs out!) haha.

Also in the good news, since i have been trying (and trying and trying and..... yeah, failing) to change my routine and break my ED habits for a while. so this morning... i did. woke up and did NO STRETCHES. i am only gonna allow myself to do a maximum of 3 stretch days a week. ideally, i want to cut down to only doing one on the weekend cos i am actually busy enough during the week to not have much time to stress over it... but for now im allowing the two during the week if i need them. BUT theres a condition! I will do them if and only if... i have time and feel like it.

Oh and no more morning stretches. if i want to do them, i have to do them at other times. not dictate my day by them. that was compulsive... i HAD to do them in that order: it was get up, brush teeth... stretch... have shower... 

Soooo, this over-hyped routine meant that when i didnt stretch i felt guilty cos it was so ingrained in my routine. Now i get up, brush teeth... GO BACK TO BED FOR HALF AN HOUR!!! and then continue with my normal routine. hahah. much better :)

There still little steps. But already i feel like i can handle not doing it in the mornings, which was something i really struggled with. and then if im busy or tire in the afternoons im less likely to force myself to, like i would first thing. I think this is positive progress for my week. BAM. monday is ON!!!

Now im going to veg out and get an early night, cos this girl is tiiiiiiired! and i dont think that helps my achey head. Plus we are having a girly dvd sesh, cos the mumatron is home and the roomie is having a blip with her gf (they broke up yest and it looks like it may be for reals.... :s) So we figured we all need a bit of....

BRIDGET JONES!!!!

cos if there one chick that will always make you feel better...

 its good old bridget!
