Daily Facebook check-in

Passed my exam! Got to admit that I wasn’t sure I’d pass, as I went through a bunch of concepts this morning that were new to me. Thankfully no questions about them.

I’m looking forward to a VERY quiet Sunday where I can do sod all, just to wind down from the week. I’m also looking forward to Monday when I’ll be starting the new project. Only draw back is that it’s close to 2 hours by public transport (been told parking is not an option as by car it would be half that time). At least it should be remote working most of the time.

Today was a bad day challenge wise:

Ticked my push-up challenge as complete, but haven’t done it yet. Will do it first thing in the morning. I didn’t want to hit pause as I can see myself skipping/hitting pause on Monday and I don’t want to do that.

snack attack: I cheated. I treated myself to a blondie as I felt I had earned it with scoring 885 points out of 1000 😃

Forgot to put my cutlery down between bites. 😒

Almost forgot: saw my GP this morning too and we’ve agreed that we’re not going to try to get me off my meds anymore. Last time, I was back on them within months. Instead, dose has gone down and doc has discussed a plan with me as we suspect depression may stay with me for the rest of my life, but at least we’ll make it manageable with the meds, supported with therapy when needed. I’m feeling relieved that we’ve made this decision as I felt like I had to keep pushing to get off them. This way, I’ll be on the minimum dose as a sort of maintenance thing and can quickly up the dosage when needed and don’t even have to call my GP to check first 🙂

Now it’s time to look into shedding the depression/sleep apnea weight gains. I’ve put in my calendar to call the PT about a special program we have here in the Netherlands to find out whether it would be something for me. If not, I’ll find out whether they can help me at all. Otherwise, I’ll look into getting an NF coach for as long as I can afford it 🙂
