Today is a good day.
It all started last night. I got a call from work saying that I could have another day off work. Actually, they asked me if that was okay? Umm, yes please. Fine by me.
Today I got a sleep in. That doesn’t happen often. I got a sleep in because Hubby is on a five day break. It’s nice to have that extra set of hands around and someone to have adult conversation with. Miss L does appreciate my conversation and song singing skills, but doesn’t respond as well as Hubby does.
Today the weather is beautiful. The sun is out, the sky is clear, in fact I can’t see a single cloud for … well forever.
I got dressed and put on my regular jeans. They were looking a bit baggy and more like tracksuit pants than jeans. They’re comfy though, and I like that. I have a plethora of clothing in my wardrobe, ranging in 5 different sizes. I pulled out a pair of jeans in a smaller size. Last time I put them on I almost had to lie down to button them up. When I did finally get them done up I most certainly had a whole lot of ‘muffin top’ going on. They got taken off pretty darn quickly and put away for another (skinnier) day.
Today was different. There was no lying down. There was no muffin top. There was success! It feels good to be wearing them.
I’m not sure what to do with the bigger jeans. I’ll never be that size again, but do I toss them out? Is that how I say goodbye?
The good day continued with my realising that I could go to Mother’s Group and hang out with all my Mumma friends and their Bubs. It’s good to catch up and see how everyone is going. I often miss out with work so I was glad I could go today.
And that’s as far as my day has reached so far. It’s only lunch time so there is still plenty of opportunity for more good day stuff to arise.
I won’t let Miss Angelina Jolie’s good genes and breastfeeding theory get me down. I certainly don’t have the genes that her family has running through them, but I am finding that the breastfeeding part of the theory isn’t working for me either. I’ve been breastfeeding for six months and living in hope.
She does look brilliant though. Good on her and her lithe post-baby body.
I’m about to tuck into my favourite salad that I make at least once a week. It has rocket, roast sweet potato, pine nuts, cherry tomatoes and goats cheese. I’d like to add avocado into it too, but it’s too much fats for my diet.
Yum. x
That salad looks amazing – yummy!
Throw out/give away most of your old ‘fat’ clothes, but keep one pair to remind yourself of where not to go again….I wish I’d done that.
I think I’ll keep these and then one day take a photo of me attempting to fit into one of leg of them like you see in the magazines. 😛
I’ll give the rest away. x
Oh, and the salad is always delicious. I could eat it all day. 🙂
