Lizzie983's Journal, 07 April 2014

Hi buddies,

Yesterday I spent a day with a former colleague, a good friend of mine, in a nearby city.

We had lunch at a wonderful Italian restaurant...and went back there for dinner :)
It felt like holidays, even if I was at only 1.5hours driving from home.

After lunch (and 2 hours chatting) we went rowing on the river. It has been amazing!
Temperature was good, like springtime or early German summer.
Many trees had new light green leaves, plenty of people were enjoying the sun near the river.
All reflections from trees and flowers and buildings on the water, were so bright and colorful.
What a lovely day :)

I spent the past few weeks working harder than usual, having such a day was good for my soul and mind :)
When I spend such a long time at the office, I forget how beautiful life is, all the people and nature I am missing out.
I realized I want to spend longer time outdoor, and make it possible by spending time in the park for dinner (that will help me also to eat less :) ).
Since I had the injury on my back, I have less stamina concerning sports. And then feel more lazy in general (also because I am afraid of overdoing when climbing, cause I want to avoid having the same kind of problems again).
Well, walking does not have bad side effects, so why not? :)

I felt good yesterday. We have been talking about my former colleagues, and it did not make me jealous :)
We also talked about ways to deal with emotions, and feelings and life and stressful jobs :)
She's one of the few persons I feel free to tell about my emotions...I am happy I found a few friends like her, because dealing with and talking about my own emotions has always been an issue for me.

I think I am a fake extrovert. I talk a lot with everybody, but my real me is always kind of "locked in" and seldom decides not to hide. I am glad I can be myself, at least from time to time.

She reminded me how I looked like few weeks after my mum died, since we shared an office back then.
Well, she told me that from my face, it did not look like something so strong/huge happened to me.
It took me long time to deal with my mum's death back then. I had to stay away from work for about 4 months.
And made me realize a bunch of important things about myself.

Time to get ready to go to work.
Have a good day fatsecreters,
Life is good! :)

That does sound like a beautiful day and I am glad you got to take a mental vacation and enjoy yourself. I was just thinking the same thing this morning about how I want to get out do some walking this week since we are to have a few days in the 70's. I can't really do much besides walking since my daughter has flipped upside down to start preparing for birth. Now her head puts a lot of pressure of my pelvic bone if I try to jog or anything to strenuous. I missed the warmer weather and my hubby and I are so ready to take the kids camping. Just trying to wait until the nights start warming up more. I hope you have a successful week with your eating and exercise. Enjoy life you never know how much longer you are blessed with it.

This sounds like an awesome day. Rowing does sound like a lot of fun. Isn't it great when people compliment you on how you look? I love it. It makes me appreciative. I feel like sometimes I forget about it. It's as if I almost demean the very struggles I've gone through to get where I am today with respect to my weight.

I'm borderline extrovert/introvert, so I feel you. I feel the fakeness as well. I love being around people, but I need to have alone time. I'm glad you have found someone to be yourself with. That's such a blessing.
