well yesterday I discovered google reader. and my posts right back to my second or third (not my first, bizarrely which is a bit of a shame) are all on it. It was really cool to browse back and see how far I have come. also bizarrely it seems to me that I am also back at that beginning again. I guess that happens in life, it sprials around and we circle past places we have been before.
This January is a back to basics tracking and no spend month. Am not alone in this, and its a good time to start with all that menu planning and keeping track sort of stuff. Am feeling more heartened by having looked at the worst of things in the face and done some thinking, some sorting and finding out, that we are OK. Its not that I would rather we were in a slightly different position and it is a bit gutting to have to use hard won savings. But, hey. At least we have them. And work will come, for both of us.
Healthy January has rather gone out the window yesterday and today as a glass of wine and things like toast have been used to bolster up morale. Not great in the long run that sort of bolstering. In fact it all feels rather like the excesses of Christmas are still hanging around getting eaten up. But it will happen.
I must say I am pleased by my Yoga everyday effort. I have been getting up and getting at least something in every day. Today it was just 20 mins. But that is 20 mins more than nothing.
Perhaps my word for this year will be YOGA. Union. Bringing together. Joining.
And a little anatomy study every day too. Its going a lot better.
I spent most of today in town battling the elements. Oh it was blowing a right old storm. Taking things back to M&S and Debenhams, trying to get a hat that fits my Hub's enormous nuggin. He is size 7 and 3/4. Bigger than anything M&S or Debenhams have to offer. I got Bub a few shirts as I had an H&M voucher for xmas and I couldn't really see anything I wanted and the shirts were too cute.
So for the record. Oh 3rd of January
