What have you achieved this week that you are proud of?

[AtlasObscura]

Big or small .....

I have stuck to My Fitness Pal all week and logged every single calorie that has passed my lips - the scales had better be kind to me next week.

But more amazingly - I achieved something at work yesterday - an admin task, so not exactly groundbreaking. But it has been on my 'to-do' list for 12 years.

That is not a typo - it has taken me 12 years to get around to doing this one task that I kept pushing to the bottom of the list

Well done Merename! I remember those days. You feel like it ought to be easy but it's not, it's damn hard work and rarely recognised.

Is it only me who wants to know what the admin task was that waited 12 years!

Please tell!

Thank you very much @TheCountessofFitzdotterel! I was just beating myself up a bit for being so moany with DH and you are right, it is hard work. I’m going to go and say sorry and move on. He is a great help but today I needed someone to blame!

I lost 5lbs bringing me close to my 10 stone target

I've been to the hairdressers and dentist, and have made appointment at the gp.
Doesn't sound much but they are my little steps after mh issues recently.
I feel much better with my gums actually having teeth now My hair is still nice on second day.
Boost in confidence that has allowed me to look towards returning to some kind of work.

Lost 1.4 kilos

Been through the kids bedrooms and had a throw out, tidy up and big clean. It was, at times, like wading through treacle.

I'm now kondo-ing my clothes drawers

I replaced the seal at the bottom of the shower screen that has been broken for the last 3 years atleast. It finally got to the top of the list. Also survived another week of muppetry dished out by ex h.

Gottalovesummer

It was a form that my team have had to submit quarterly - for the last 12 years they have had to complete a word version of it and email it, but now I have embraced the 21st Century and converted it to an online form on our website.

We are usually pretty up to date technology wise but this bloody form has alluded me since pretty much the day I launched my business.

not all that interesting, sorry

This thread has now made me realise that I also need to haul my arse to the dentist, dye my hair and reseal the bath and shower

Well done to those of you coping with young children, loosing weight and taking care of yourselves and doing so against a backdrop of MH issues

What a lovely thread. I have finished joining a blanket for Woolly Hugs, made my Easter egg last until today and gone back to an old volunteering role to help out someone who has just taken it over (no one has been doing it since I gave up about 5 years ago).

Talking nice to the conservative candidate instead of ranting at him

I have got through the week without falling apart, found out last weekend that I am unexpectedly pregnant, I have spent the week on the edge but I haven't fallen off so that's something.

I cycled to work four out of 5 days.

This may sound a bit odd but I'm proud of doing nothing today. I've put my feet up and had a nap and watched rubbish tv.
I'm a sahm to four dc and spend my life chasing my own tail. I've had a (rare) child free day today and I'm knackered and feeling worn out so instead of doing the usually sorting, washing,cleaning and ironing I've done bugger all.

Passed 3 exams, 2 with distinctions.
Lost 2lbs (been going the gym now for about a month)
Took a step closer to opening small business.

Been a good week all in all.
Well done everyone else for achievements large and small!

atlas that's fantastic. Sometimes sorting the small, niggley jobs give the most satisfaction!

Drove a manual hire car on holiday ...easier than i expected.

Learned more about my ability to let ex husband shenanigans wash over me

Practiced more self-compassion it really helps with my anxiety. I used to loathe myself. Now I don't. Cant say I like myself yet but am on the right road

Had a meeting about potentially joining the board of an organisation I'm interested in.
(THey've courted me!!!)

Didn't hand my notice in despite an overwhelming urge to do so!

Mainly down to my amazing colleagues and a bloody fabulous matron.

Had my first ofsted inspection and got the grade I wanted. I was so anxious & have been prepping for months knowing it was coming (they just phone you out of the blue). Thrilled with the result.

I did my ironing...all of it

I taught myself to edit videos! I am working on a project which needs lots of video editting.

I also buried my pride today and asked for help.

Survived work despite a painful condition flaring up.

I finally paid off my car finance. The car is now mine

Tonight I have showered, dressed, dried AND straightened my hair, plus applied some makeup without an audience of my 2 sons! 2 and 6yrs! The cat watched and my husband came in for a perv but that's ok! Now heading out for some well deserved drinks with work peeps! Not just out. Out out!
