A day in my life: Friday March 19th 2010

My dear blogger friends,

We want to thank you for all your kind words and sympathy for us after Roussy has passed away. We are touched by all the sympathy from you, our family and our friends as most of them knew how much Roussy meant to us. R. has been the greatest these past few days, he has been my rock! Thanks sweety!

We have been talking a lot about her this past few days. We have peace in our hearts that she’s gone and we talk about all the sweet and nice memories we have of her. Our house is so empty and quiet now that she’s not here anymore.

Roussy has been cremated yesterday morning. Her ashes will come home to us and we will find a nice spot in the garden where the sun shines most of the times where she will have her final resting place, close to us.

It is amazing how this blogging community works. We have never seen each other. Most of you and I have an ocean between us but that doesn’t matter. We follow each other and share happy and sad moments. I never expected this when I first started blogging. If one of you ever visits Holland be sure that you are welcome in my home.

My intuitive eating doesn’t go that well, in fact I gained this week but decided that it doesn’t matter this week.

I haven’t exercised since Saturday. Till Wednesday this was because I was sore and I never got to run on Wednesday because of what happened to Roussy. Right now I still don’t feel like running or something else. Maybe tomorrow.

But things have got to change because I can’t continue like this otherwise I will gain a little more every week.

So here’s the plan that I’m going to follow. It’s not a new plan, it just has to be dusted off and followed by me:

• Eat healthy: 3 meals and 3 (healthy) snacks every day.
• Work out 4 to 5 times a week.
• Get enough sleep

That’s it, these are simple rules. No all I have to do is follow it. This weekend I’m still on a time out, I’ll see how things go. If I want to run tomorrow or Sunday I will, if not that’s okay too. But starting Monday there will be no more excuses.

I also will be catching up with your blogs from tomorrow too. And my next post will be a normal post like I use to write.

Before Wednesday I have been thinking about blogging and the Dutch forum that I write on and I already decided that both are important to me and I want to spend my time on both. This means I closed my Facebook account and have a low profile on Twitter (haven’t decided it I will delete my account) so that I save some extra time to read blogs and “talk” to my friends on my forum.

And here’s where you come in: I love reading your blogs and I’m always looking for nice blogs to follow. So if you have a tip of a blog that’s a must: let me know so I can take a look and maybe follow it. I’m especially interested in those who are trying to lose weight and run or running blogs.

Again: thank you, all your comments meant a lot to me.
