Here i am on day 2260 so thought id start a new diary to keep it fresh.

 

Best qoute ive found hhelpful thru recovery and one i put as this diary threads title........ "Don't look back too much it fills you with regret (soooooo true), don't look forward too much it makes u anxious (again soo  true it's good to plan and set objectives but not to get hung up on then as tomo is never garuanteed), look to the PRESENT MOMENT you can do anything right now......... makes soo much sense we never know what wil happen tomo so its best to make the most of today everyday and and see what we can achieve.

 

With that in mind i went to work today grafted away, got lots done, then came back got a free coffee, then a nap and some toast, then dinner, then the gym, then a bath and now chilling in bed feeling like ive lived in the moment very well today.

 

Weighed myself tonight tho and not good reding 92.40 i was under 91 saturday morning..... oh well just got to make good life choices and i should be good.....

 

im now on 22500 teps for first two days.......cracking start

Hey stuart thanks for popping by.......  Today ive had a pretty good day.....went to work....done a lot at work...... done average steps but didnt feel like going to gym after as went last night.....  Looked at fant team and decided to not do my tripple captin..... so now even tho ive got three arsenal players id like them to concede goals to reduce peoples tripple captin scores....then palmer and pedro done well for me so that good..... Spurs almost got pulled into the relegation battle today but thnakfully a last second goal meant that west ham still five points behind us which is huge......

 

ive done 34000 steps first three days so that fine......

 

Nothing more to report apart from grinding thru the week already wednesday tomo so that good.

Hi Adam

You really need to be interviewed by Martin Lewis on how to live on a budget. You are amazing on that side and so happy with your life . Something for me to aspire to

Well i missed yesturdays check in for some reason? not sure what it was....... yesturday i went to sainsburys after work and got some mac cheese, garlic bread, bacon, tobasco sauce, came home ate the mac cheese then a bath and i think  i must have played some gran turismo...... then slept for 14 hours ,,,,,,, (sleeping bueaty i hear u say lol)...... then woke up 2pm today..... had sausage, eggs beans and toast for lunch..... then played gran turismo for a few hours...... ive now managed to get it up to 89 percent..... 230 races ive come first in now and theres only about twenty odd left..... (very difficult ones tho)...... so ill try and do those over the next few months...... i actually got 825,000 credits for one half hour race today so will defo do that again when saving for the legendary cars (i need 20 million more credits now)......so with that race it would only take 10 hours ish so thats do oable.....

Im now in bed after a nice day.....

 

Im thankful in recent weeks that ive not had many sleepless nights thru voices........ i usually get voices after seeing certain friends....... and ive not seem them this year and as such this year ive slept well and havent been having voices overnight which is great......  Had my injection weds and no issues whatsoever on that front...... so may look to keep to myslef for another month to see how that goes....

 

Ive just looked at my finaces and only spent 36 pounds this month after bills (all on food)......  will aim to spend 14 pounds on milk and bread and eat whats left in my freezer for the res tof the month...... Then will be a total of fifty pounds for the month which would be my best yet.   Its actually since ive deleted my spreadsheet that ive had my best results,,,,, im not looking as much but am doing really well..... think ill give the canteen meals a miss tho as can eat much cheaper without.....  Then start of next month ill get a lift to sainsburys and do a big months shop..... need soup, milk, bread, tea bags, sweetners, potatoes, carrots, freezer things etc pretty much need everything..... So will go early march.....

 

It was my rest day today but went to the gym and done 6k which is great...... i do get achy legs when i dont do anything....... tomo ill do a bit too i think a long with some gaming....... Also bacon sandwich tomo will be nice.

 

Recovery wise nothing to report........ All going well.

 

I booked a week off work mid week last week as was feeling tired for early march but my mum thought as weather poor and early in year still its a waste....... so i cancelled it and will see how far i can get into the year...... ttbf itll be niced to be off when its sunnyy...... cant wait for summer months getting a tan in my garden every afternoon...... ive still got tanned legs from last year actually....

I don't often talk about my mental health on here anymore...... I have skitsophrenia and generally speaking I get voices in my head that lead me to believe in things that aren't real be it spiritual things or things of beings from other planets or people that are no longer alive speaking........ Now thankfully I don't have full blown episode and have to have time off work very often ........ My voices now generally happen mostly on Saturday night after I've seen close friends .this pattern has been evident for a long time.  

Now over the course of two months I've not seen close friends just seen family and work colleagues....ove4 this time I've been much better not hearing voices at all..... 

 

To the point where tonight when I heard voices I was actually strangely relived for some reason.

 

But is it t not seeing those close friends that's helping or is it a coincidence?

 

Either way I'm thankful for some respite.

Been thinking I'm quite a lazy person...... I've never managed to do well at my career side of life even tho I think about it a great deal thru my everyday life..... I strive for good feedback......I take criticism very very badly....and although my current manager is a perfect fit for me not criticizing and being supportive I don't act perfectly at work...... I talk to people quite a lot when I could be grafting..... I take a tea break when I've been told not to ...... I do get all my responsibilities done to a high standard but I feel I can graft a bit more to be more of an asset.

 

I'm going to c what I can achieve in the next thirty days to see if I can make a difference to my achievements.

 

I need to cut myself a slight break tho as I am quite critical of myself thru different aspects of life.  I'n every other aspect of life be it spending, not partaking in vices going to the gym, spending time with family, family responsibilities etc I feel I'm over achieving and am very happy.  Also dealing with my skitsophrenia took me to a point where I just wanted a normal everyday life and holding down any job is a task alone for me.

 

So overall I just want a bit more belief that I'm doing the best I can at every aspect of my life and feel better about myself and not that I'm lazy.

 

All the best adam
