Sat on the Sofa like a potato

It’s been a while since my last post.. I merged a blog to this one.

Ok maybe potato was a bit harsh! BUT it has just been Christmas (2 weeks ago 🙈) and I am back to living with a man after 16 months. (Reason? Well thats for my other blog! 😉) I don’t care what anyone says, being content and having a man around who can literally eat what he likes is torture on your figure! Well it has been on mine. I had a very busy December with work and this week with a sick daughter I haven’t been to the gym since November!! NOVEMBER!!

On Wednesday I took the plunge and signed up for a half marathon in Birmingham on 16th October. I need help! I am not a complete stranger to running as I have completed the 10k race for life 2 years on the trot. However, last July when I Crossed that finish line at Hyde Park within 1 hour 7 minutes, that was the last time I have ran. It’s been 6 months!! 6 months! I honestly don’t think I could run to the shop right now without wanting to stop. I am starting from scratch!

Now for the cringe bit. I have just been looking at old pictures of myself from 2008-2011. I was massive, even my friends will look at the pictures and be gobsmacked not remembering me being THAT big. I look at these pictures and think ….. ‘Why did I even go out?!!’

So this is my blog to follow my journey into being in the BEST Shape of my life.

Tomorrow i will reluctantly do my measurements and weight and then Sunday (Because mentally I can cope with this better- I will explain tomorrow) and then I’m doing this !!

Here’s to no more coach potato 😜

Another ending, new beginning and a block. 

The ‘affair’ officially ended over 2 weeks ago. I had seen him again, it went back to ‘normal’ for about 3 days. I realised quite quickly I didn’t feel the same, too much had happened and he just bored me. Even the sex bored me. It still hurts that he never responded to my message that outed him regarding the birth of his child. I had worked it all out, it all made sense. His son was born during the time we had been seeing each other. Like why not just be honest with me, like I had been the whole time. It still hurts and I do miss him, well no I miss what we had. If my man was home it would be him I wanted. No one else would get a look in, it felt so natural with him though. It’s upsetting to think it’s done, but it’s for the best.

The drug dealer guy got blocked tonight, he made some unnecessary comments regarding childcare for children pre-school and instead of apologising for offending me he acted like a complete child. Again, it’s better I don’t have him in my life. I never got that feeling about him, the one I got with the other one, the ‘what if’ feeling. I didn’t fancy him like I do my man, or even the affair guy for that fact. He was just handy for company. Could easily chill with him, and I definitely wouldn’t want to have sex with him. No one can please me like my man can…. I also worked out that I’ve been blocked, no idea why!!! It’s shit like this makes me realise I am better off where I am! I just want him home.

A new start ?

I failed in waiting for him to call, Sunday blues came and the sadness took over me. I couldn’t understand how someone who was so involved in my life can literally walk away without a second thought. He responded to my text by saying I had told him not to call me but he would ring me soon. He didn’t. He rang me over 24 hours later. 

He began with small talk, what had I been up too, how am I? He even asked what had I bought him whilst shopping. I joked by saying I had bought him a frying pan to hit him over the head with and not what he had suggested that I was finally going to cook for him. He mentioned that he didn’t understand women and why they needed closure. I pointed out that hanging me on a thread wasn’t fair either, again he didn’t make any real sense and said he still wants to be my friend. He was trying to make it easier for me apparently, how he heard that my Dad was giving my man a job and them sort of things and so didn’t want to get in the way. He knew all of this right from the start, I never once even let him believe maybe we could be together. Maybe I was harsh in saying that he really didn’t need to protect me as I’m the one who would be completely fine as soon as I had my man home. I sensed that he knew this was true. He admitted he had a lot going on and really was in no position to be with me properly, I reiterated that that was never my intention. I feel like more was said, he asked when I was back in town, and seemed sure he would see me again. This leads me to believe that there is no one else but some kind of crazy ‘deal’ that is going on, I did hear something quite suspect when I was last there. Again he went by saying he’d call me back. I will leave him now, it is sad to think he’s out my life now but it was always going to have to be like that one day. It’s not like I don’t have my Mr Right anyway and I’ve been through a lot worse before in regards to losing these man friends, I will cope even if my beloved doesn’t get tag. 

Last night I admitted to my beloved regarding the fling I’ve had. It went better than I expected. He was quiet, angry, hurt, disappointed but he understands that this was just his karma after the way he treated me before. Our call ended on a positive, he truly loves me, this has shown me more than ever. To forgive me for this, takes some guts. My gosh I love him. Within 10 days I should find out if I’m getting him home or not.

No regrets!

The ‘affair’ has come to an end. I knew it had too, I knew I wanted it too but doesn’t mean it makes it any easier. My mind is still doing over time but my ultimate feeling is that it is for the best. It needed to end anyway, he would never compare to my man.  In the past 2 weeks  he needs to see my beautiful face and I’m still his ‘dirty bitch’.  He was the guy who would call me in the morning, call me to make sure I got home ok, call me whilst he was at work and call me for hours in the evening. I remember even wondering whether he was a bit of a loner as he was always in. It was this company I needed, this company that made me weak when all I really wanted was my actual man home. Last Friday he rings me and was shocked to hear I was at the cinema alone, I should of gone to him apparently. Saturday he did text me but then was so long about it I didn’t reply to his last message in the evening. On Sunday I tried to call him and then again Monday morning. No response. I then sent a long arse crazy message. I had had enough just because I didn’t want to see him again in that way didn’t mean we couldnt be friends. He finally gets back to me on Tuesday evening, I ignored his first call of course and then I let him have his say. He was totally oblivious to even my message, it’s just so bizarre!! He understood what I saying though, brought up something I had said when drunk and told me he didn’t want me to get out his life! He then did the usual ‘I’ll call you back’ …

Anyway when I think positively about it I know it’s my actual boyfriend I want. I saw him Thursday and nobody ties my tummy in knots like he does. I can just stare into his eyes and feel a sense of warmth, security and passion. He has no ex’s or kids to come between us. No distance. His criminal activity will have stopped and it can just be me and him forever. I can scream and shout and wish I had never met this one, but it’s told me a lot. I can never say ‘what if’ .. I’ve attempted to try someone new.. And I still just want him. He was always second best, someone to pass my time. I honestly didn’t want it to end like this, we could have been friends, but maybe the idea I was never going to stay forever just got to him too much.

I’ll await his text, because there will be one, but in the meantime I need to let it go. He’s not important!

I’ve been doing a bad thing …

Two months have passed since my last post, I was even hiding this bad thing then but I couldn’t come to terms with what I was doing just then. I was hiding it from everyone even my closest friend but it felt right and felt ok. If I didn’t admit to it that is. He’s been on the scene since the middle of May.

I tell myself that it’s ok, I’m still there mentally for my incarcerated loved one and it is him who I love but I need physical love and attention. I did so well without but I caved. Would he of been so loyal? No. Were we in a strong relationship? No. In fact he’s been locked up longer than the time we’ve actually spent together. That’s just madness. I do love him, very much, but I don’t want to spend the rest of my life resenting him for this time. If he comes home and it doesn’t work then so be it but it’s my life and it’s there to be enjoyed. Sex is to be enjoyed. I need sex. I love sex. And with my current track record it seems I’m pretty good at it.

However it’s nights like tonight I do just want my boo home. I know where I stand. We are friends. The sex is on point and the connection we have is electric. There’s no games, we understand one another. The guy I have been seeing was really full on at the beginning, we were seeing each other quite a bit as he lives near where I go to uni (a good 60 miles away from me) and the feelings were growing. I knew I would leave as soon as release day came. Then we have the guy who broke my heart years ago! Yup he’s piped up again, I proudly tell him I have a boyfriend and he responds saying ‘good you deserve to be happy’. I was also in a very uncomfortable position with my boyfriends cousin, yes the one I hated somehow ended up in my bed and he was trying it on with me!! So vile.. I was screaming at him to stop and was showing him pictures of me and my man. Telling him if he did it it was rape. He stopped! Now he’s just messaged me asking what I’m up too! He knows it’s NEVER gonna happen right ?!?

Visit day 

So much has happened in the past 2 weeks and I don’t even know what to think anymore. I don’t have time to go through it now but right now I feel more anxious, more hurt, more confused than I ever have prior to a visit. My god I am glad I am going, we really do not to talk but I have no idea which way it will go. I know how I want it to go but is that even for the best ?! 

It’s going to be a long morning …

A social media rant 

Snapchat and Instagram, social media sites that when used properly can be fun, light-hearted and enjoyable but once again this evening the cousin has made my blood boil. This time on snapchat, man is doing videos of his cash saying ‘look at all his money’… It probs looks about £300. £400 tops!! Does he not realise in the grand scheme of things that isn’t a great deal?! Like if I didn’t have a mortgage to pay and a flat to run I would be laughing. It’s called being an adult! Having bills to pay and a flat I can call mine is far more important than having a few quid in my pocket. Last I heard he worked at KFC but with no responsibilities (as he doesn’t pay for his kids) I can see why he got a little excited over some paper. Jeez. The man is so stupid. Well I say man, nothing grown up about that boy. I know what he’s doing too, making out like its ‘trap money’, the silly little boy couldn’t run a vegetable patch let alone trap on the streets like life is some rap song. I need him as far away from my man as possible. Embarrassing. Time I removed him! 

Today I worked for a GPS sports watch brand, and now I need one in my life. If I get accepted into the marathon I Defo need to purchase one. At about £140 though they are not cheap but I see it as an investment and as I was once spending that on a PT per month this is well worth it. 

1767 calories today, no run but I did walk over 11,000 steps at work so I have been active. No studying tonight, too tired. There’s still time yet though, maybe something relatively straight forward like Occupiers liability. Must keep up the momentum!

1 Saturday down , 5 to go ..

.. Until I am able to go out and party!! I have my little girl tonight anyway so wouldn’t have gone out tonight but tomorrow could have been a possibility. Craving a good night out so bad!! 

1,818 calories today, had a Chinese with my mini me but counted it correctly. I didn’t snack at all today and that makes such a big difference in your calories, they soon add up. I was under on the fat and sugars content too. I didn’t manage to go for that run this morning, woke up feeling so groggy as I have been doing for a while now. More water, more water a must and back drinking my herbal teas I once got into a good routine with. 

I bought a new cream today and at nearly £10 (and that was half price) it wasn’t cheap. Nip + fab tummy fix it’s called, the reviews look good and after I stood in my underwear in front of the mirror at the sunbed shop I realised how bad the tummy situation is. I took a photo, not brave enough to upload yet but I will do if I get a good picture in a month or so to compare it. Will let you know if it works. I know it’s pretty natural to have stretch marks and excess skin after a pregnancy and especially for someone like me who has lost over 6 stone but to me it just looks weird. Not natural at all. I did get into a good shape last year and it began to look better but I was having a personal trainer then, I am hoping I can do it again without one. 

It’s 1:40am, I did my usual of having a late evening kip to study more effectively. It works yet my body clock is all over the place. Proud of what I have achieved tonight tho. Tomorrow I am working again, cinema date with my daughter then I will pick a different topic to get my teeth into. I’ve got this!!

65 days till Ibiza !!

So it’s May .. 

The fifth month of the year… I just need to get to the twelfth month and this empty lonely feeling will have gone. 

This time last year I knew he was going, I knew my life was about to change. I need to feel comfort in the fact that it’s now all in the past and the time is ticking and it will end! 

Now let’s get through May! 

May challenges: 

lose 5lbs 

Study at least 1 hour a day , 3 hours on days I’m not working 

No more wasting calories on junk food 

Run 100k (using Nike plus) 

Been to the cinema tonight, been home over an hour and I have just laid in bed wasting time, as per! Revision timetable is going to be planned now and then more Human Rights revision. 

1,845 calories consumed and I was slightly over on fat and sugars but that’s ok. I didn’t eat any ‘junk’ which is my collective word in May for chocolate, crisps, sweets and your obvious crap that most of us consume daily. I think the sugar was high in my diet today due to the smoothie I had which was yummy! So whatevs.

I ran 4k in 23 mins 37 seconds this morning, my plan is for tomorrow an early morning run at the gym and complete the 6.4k the nikeplus app is telling me to do. 

May I’m ready …. Kinda!

I feel so sad …

I need to snap out of this. I have already napped for a while. These exams won’t revise themselves! BBC Question Time is just making me angry, and I keep thinking about sweets to make me feel slightly happy. 

I miss him, I miss him so much. A year ago today was when he was arrested. A year ago tonight I had a sleepless night not having a clue what was happening just wanting to hear his voice. Why do I feel so sad? The good news is this time next year he will be here, back with me and probably annoying me lol. 

His brother rang me today. I couldn’t believe it. He’s been gone 8 months and he is only just asking me for his prisoner number and address. He also said he felt he had a duty to see if I’m ok beings I am his brothers missis. Say what??? The last time I even spoke to him was after he was screaming in my street at us both. That being said I do hope he does write to him and they can have a normal relationship now. Family is important, even if they do have some making up to do. 

1,376 calories today, not enough water and I really need sweets to get me through my revision session ! 

Law student life !!!
