Great news that you’re back pushing in the gym Richard. And your son sounds like he smashed it too.

Hi Jenny,
Yes the leaving of primary school was probably a bigger deal for me than my kids. I felt old when my youngest left. Secondary school is a whole different ball game that I ‘got through’, I was so glad when that time was over.
Enjoy the summer with your children, it’s nice to take time off and do things

Oh thank you, and yes finding it all very strange and emotional. I am loving the ages they are (11 and 13) but really realising now that the little years are gone. I have always loved our summer holidays together so really looking forward to it

Day 49. All is pretty well today, not much to say I suppose. Just hope to be able to move in the next week or two, definitely nervous as heck for school still. I hope I do good, trying to put forth the positive affirmations and say I know I will do good. But still my whole life I’ve doubted myself. I’ve been paying attention to what people are posting for the tattoo challenge in apart of and so far I think mine will do well so far. I talked to the guy into letting me finish it so that’s good. Much love everyone, whats everyone got planned today?

Thank you, I’d say it’s actually pretty good circumstances. I recognized that I needed to be here, and that I needed to change. That’s definitely a good sign.

Day 935 check in.
Getting more and more acceptance that I’m going to do a neuropsychological diagnostic treatment. The treatment is inpatient, that’s the part I’m not looking forward to. It will be the first time they will look at everything that is going on.
Had also contact with my employer. It’s clear now that I will need time to heal. A re-integration is only viable of I recover to a certain extent.
Edit: anyone familiar with such treatment?

Less than day 1.
I was taking a shower and suddenly I was thinking to myself, “I’m not doing as much hard work as I should be, but I’m walking 13,000 steps a day, I go for 30 minute walks every morning, I drink 64 ounces of fluid a day and I watch my portions. I’m doing almost everything right but this grazing is holding me back.”
Then I stopped everything and said to myself, “The grazing is not holding me back. I’M holding me back.” I basically had a revelation. I have to be held accountable for my actions. I need to have more love, respect and discipline for myself in order to be successful and happy.
