Daily Achievements!

Hi forum friends! I've decided to start a new thread on Daily Achievements because I suffer from depression as one of my mental illness and that means it's often hard for me to remind myself that I do actually things in my day, no matter how small they may be. I thought forumites could post here a daily achievement or 2 so we can remind ourselves that we have done something good each day. It can be as big or as small as you like. Just as long as what you did makes you proud and happy.

I'm tagging @roses @Bow @Shaz51 @BPDSurvivor @saltandpepper @Daisydreamer @Former-Member @Former-Member @Former-Member @TideisTurning @Former-Member @frog @Sans911 @outlander

in case you might be interested as well as anyone else who wants to join in!

So, to get this discussion started, I'll post my achievements today which are:

- I had a gorgeous cup of tea which helped me deal with some anxiety I was experiencing;

- I paid my car registration which was due today.


See what I mean about achievements? Mine may seem small or irrelevant to some people but to me, because I have depression, these are actually major in the scheme of my life. I look forward to seeing what everyone comes up with.

Here is my new Dr Who looking fridge with my peanut/choc/chickpea treats I created today. I use carob and low carb zero sugar choc drops. I think I might use up my leftover carrots and zucchini to make a quinoa slice on the weekend @Historylover @TAB @Glisten @Chuck77

@Former-Member Oh my stars! Look at that yummy food.
Can I live with you? LOL

I’ll do almost anything for someone that feeds me beautiful, healthy food.

Occasionally I can rustle up a halfway decent smoothie.

Re: Daily Achievements!

You are making me laugh again. The treats are really nice full of flavour and free of sugar. HINT! I think I may be doing more stay at home stuff this year. @Glisten. I have to eat healthy because of diabetes. Diabetes was certainly a wakeup call for me. I'm not a great cook but have to be more mindful now!

Re: Daily Achievements!

The contents of your refrigerator are admirable, @Former-Member. The treats sound delicious and so healthy. Amazing what treats can be made from vegetables.

There is nothing like music to create a relaxing and pleasant atmosphere, @Former-Member. That's why I love classical music so much. It's my life's sound track.

Re: Daily Achievements!

Hello @Historylover yes I'm taking a more gentle pace this year so will be turning my home into a sanctuary with peaceful music this year. Last year was go-go-go. I never thought much of weightwatchers but they have some great diabetic treat recipes. They are easy to make and are flavoursome without sugars or carbs

Scroll down until you reach snacks. I make the sweet potato bites and peanut choc blissballs

Re: Daily Achievements!

Weight Watchers has been around for a long time, @Former-Member. I remember them about 60 years ago with my mother's cousin's wife. They had to knit a square if they had gained weight, which was made into a blanket—probably for a charity. It looks like the population hasn't learnt anything. The recipes look delicious. I've added them to my recipe collection for another day.

Re: Daily Achievements!

Thats so funny @Historylover I think we would all be knitting squares! lol Oh well. I'm off for another walk today. I have been using my chi machine every day and feel a lot less stress and it seems to stop neuropathy in my foot. Whats your secret for getting over diabetes? I'm so glad you were able to reverse it!

Re: Daily Achievements!

Thankyou @Glisten I clicked through and watched the ABC News video and they were mentioning it was for type I Diabetes. I am Type II ❤️
