I can't believe it's that time of the week already (this is partly because I'm on holiday, so it's a miracle I remember what day of the week it is). Here we go:
- Being on holiday. This one is a no brainer! Yes, I still get up shockingly early, but there's no alarm clock and I do it by choice/habit, and therein lies a world of difference!
- Wearing a bikini. It's been years since I wore one, but this year, even though I'm not even half done with my weight loss program, I decided to treat myself to a bikini. Oddly enough, instead of making me feel self conscious, the sight of stomach in the sunshine has pushed me to stay clear of the constant temptations, so win!
- Being able to nap. I find it amusing that we spend the first quarter of our lives wanting to grow up, and the rest of it discovering childhood pleasures we seldom get to enjoy now that we're adults. Like napping. There is untold joy in being able to take a cheeky nap when you're on holiday.
- Giving up chocolate for two months. Definitely the best decision to make before the holidays, as this has made my resolve to not gain any holiday weight that much stronger.
- Meditation. When you live abroad and then come back to your native country on holiday life can be very confusing. It's that feeling of finally coming home to a place that isn't home anymore. So even though I don't always feel like it, I force myself to sit down everyday and meditate for a bit, because it helps me find my centre and clear my focus.
- Grilled fish. No need to elaborate.
- My boyfriend. Through our entire relationship my boyfriend has always supported me, even in times when I wasn't able to make the most of that support. Now that I feel stronger and more focused his support has been priceless. I am determined to chance my life, to grown, to gain new skills and let go of memories and behaviours that no longer suit me and the lifestyle I hope to have. And it's great that I don't have to do this alone.
