On the mend...

Apologies for not posting as much 

Or as frequently

Or as consistently lately 

I guess it's a good thing though

As it means my real life is full and busy

And I don't have time to blog as much

This week has been busy to say the least

Appointments

Three meetings 

Horse riding 

It's all good right now

I slept like a log last night

And woke up this morning

Still wrecked 

And my legs

Man my legs are in such pain today

All along the inside and outside of my thighs

I feel like a did a strenuous exercise class 

It's sore 

But it's a good feeling

And the tiredness is a good feeling too

It feels like I've been active and energetic 

And that makes a rest feel well earned 

I've been on a high since my first session horse riding yesterday

I feel dare I say it, happy..

Uplifted 

Re-energised 

Re-invigorated

And it feels amazing  

To find something that I love to do is huge progress for me

I've always loved animals 

And did a bit of horse riding over the years 

I feel like it's something I can really throw myself in to 

And even though it's an hour away

And a bit of an effort to get there 

It's so worth it to go

As I get so much out of it

I had my breakfast this morning

And headed out with the dogs 

When I got back

I sat down with a cup of tea 

And promptly fell asleep 

I woke up just in time to get to the local lunch time meeting 

Even though it would have been so nice to stay asleep

I know I need my meetings right now

And what a lovely meeting it was 

Food for the soul 

And peace of mind for the brain

After the meeting 

I went food shopping 

And then on to the village to see Mary

It was so great to tell her about all the good things that have happened this last couple of weeks

I could see it in her eyes

She was delighted 

Mary always says that it's funny the way things happen 

My Mum coming in to the session last week

The horse riding 

Meetings 

She always says that success breeds success

And she is so right 

One good thing leads to another

And so on

And so on.....

I feel like I have so much more energy now

And feel more positive 

It feels like anything is possible 

Recovery 

Work 

Friends 

Hobbies 

It's all there for me

I just have to reach out and grab it

Of course

Life 

Recovery is not straight forward

I still have a lot of work to do

My food has improved, yes

But the purging is proving difficult to knock on the head 

I just have to keep trying

And hopefully I will get there 

All in all

Things are heading in the right direction

And I feel like if this can all happen in one week

Then what else can happen if I continue to persue recovery?

There are a few other exciting things happening in relation to Eating Disorders Awareness Week

Which I will get to next week 

And am super excited about 

So until tomorrow my friends....
