Mine is tiny but it counts:

I used a warming eye mask. I find them super relaxing and last week the optician recommended using them to help with some blocked ducts. Self-care and healthcare - tick!

Wrapped up in a cosy blanket and watched telly.
(Squid Games series 2.)

'I drank a lot of water and went for a walk.'

Same here, a walk in the fog 😊 and no alcohol

I’ve given myself permission to stay in my PJs and barely move my backside from the sofa all day (and yesterday). It’s been glorious, but I’m ready to get up and at ‘em tomorrow. Two days is enough.

notacooldad · 27/12/2024 19:14

I went to tbe gym for an hour
I really enjoyed it and wished I'd gone sooner as I only had an hour until closing ti.e.

Bought myself some gorgeous velvet trousers from a small boutique. They didn't appear to be in the sale and I was happy to pay full price but the lovely owner asked if I would be happy with 30% off.

Also drunk a lot of water.

I spent an hour playing Disney Dream light Valley.
I also read some of my book tucked under a blanket with a cuppa.

Took the kids to McDonald’s after the cinema and treated myself to a second (correct) burger after I ordered the wrong one initially.
I could have made it do - but thought f&*@ it - if I have to be here I may as well allow myself the right burger..

TheDandyLion · 27/12/2024 19:23

Went for a run-walk-run-walk.

Foot cream new slippers feet now up glass of fizz considering opening the chocs (own personal ones!)

Went to a gallery exhibition I've had my eye on, and then an early evening walk through semi-deserted London streets. Enjoyed the Christmas lights and peace and quiet.

Doyouthinktheyknow · 27/12/2024 20:36

I was at work today but I took my lunch break and had a walk and ate my lunch by the sea. It was lovely😎

I never had time to take a lunch break in my old very stressful job and I was further from the sea anyway so this is such a positive change for me.

I’m doing lots of nice things for myself after playing with DS all day, which has included playing twister (thanks dmil!) Braved slimming club the day after Boxing Day. If I hadn’t I would have carried on eating like a glutton until next week. I’m just about to go and have a lovely shower with some nice shower gel my mum bought me for Christmas then I’m going to read a book DH got me.

Crushed23 · 27/12/2024 20:47

Read my book.

Danced to techno music in my apartment.

Took a long walk in the park.

Barre class.

Pretty standard for a non-work day for me. I'm all about self-care and living a joyful life. 🥰

bakewellbride · 27/12/2024 20:49

Resuming my intermittent fasting after over indulging in xmas day and Boxing Day!

ThePoshUns · 27/12/2024 20:50

I went to a yoga class

LisaJohnsonsFacebookMole · 27/12/2024 20:51

@onwardsup4 and @strangeandfamiliar combine your two posts and that is near enough my perfect day!

I took an iron supplement. (I’ve been getting dizzy), meditated, short run, ate some trifle that was probably on sale because my boyfriend bought it.

Meadowfinch · 28/12/2024 00:00

Went for a 45 minute run.

It was cold, crisp and quiet. I got rid of that bloated sludgy too-much-food feeling and feel much more alive. 😊

I saw munjac, jays, a hare, a kestrel. The first snowdrops. Then I came home and made veggie soup. DS is away this week, so no need to cook big meals

That reminds me, I also had a carb-free day! Feel lighter and much better, after a piggy couple of days.

Shavasana · 28/12/2024 00:17

Finished my book
Did an hour of yoga
No alcohol but lots of water
Really enjoyed a big slice of Christmas cake

WinkyTinky · 28/12/2024 00:30

I fixed my slow filling toilet cistern with a YouTube video and a flat head screwdriver and was very pleased with myself 💪🏼

ShortyShorts · 28/12/2024 00:31

Went to a local museum with my adult DS while he's visiting for Christmas.

We thoroughly enjoyed it!

susieguert · 28/12/2024 01:19

Made myself a big pot of chill, extra spicy and all mine!

Catsmere · 28/12/2024 02:59

Those eye masks are great! I use an Opti-Soothe one.

I asked a friend who's also a neighbour over for coffee and cat cuddles, and we had a lovely chat and laugh for an hour.

Since then I've had lunch and am now half asleep over my knitting, and enjoying the sound of much-needed rain.

MarkingBad · 28/12/2024 03:16

Took a mid afternoon nap in my bed not in the armchair

Edited to add - Then ate shit loads of cheeses with pickles and salad
