This sounds like so much fun!
I have wanted to try country line dancing for ages, but there are no places near me. (Lately my self-care seems to involve reading, which I'm happy with.)1 -

I have about 10 hours ahead of me with no one home. And it’s my day off. I am going to make a wish list of things I can do today but not hold firm to the list. It’s almost nerve wracking when you know you can have a total self care day but don't’ want to waste it. Xo4

Recently my self care have been too exciting. It's mostly been about doctors appointments and changing meds. The other day the new scents for Yankee candle came out so hubby and I went over to check them out. We picked up a few sale items and I've been burning a new to us scent. I also started a journal so I could track the effects of the new med.4

Crazy weekend!! Friday night our family decided to try out roller skating. I seriously thought it was going to be like riding a bike. It was not lol... I am making it my fitness goal to roller skate without shaky legs and a sore butt 😂
Saturday we got a major ice and snow storm. We were trapped in the house. So we put a fire in the fireplace, popped up some popcorn and binged watched Netflix.
Sunday: cars stuck in our driveway spent over an hour digging out of the driveway. That was my 40 day surprise for my husband. Plus I got a workout.
Today: woke up so sick!! Normally I would force myself to muddle through work. I very rarely call off. Today I decided I was going to call off and take care of myself. Good thing I did. Took a long hot shower, took 3 Motrin, fell asleep for several hours and woke up in a pool of sweat!!! Hopefully I will feel better tomorrow.4 -

Lovely 90 min hiking in the hills - sunny & cool
Really was happy & comfortable inventing/creating a drawing tonight for painting tomorrow! In the flow more often now.
Remembered to breathe slowly In & Out through a stressful situation today, reassuring myself that all would be ok.
Lots of body positivity. It works!

Been keeping up with hygiene routines which is a big deal for me. Been exercising every day except Monday because I was sore, but I didn't beat myself up for it. I had a great time with my boyfriend this weekend without worrying too much about calories & I didn't binge (8 day streak!)
Going to go out with my mom today so hopefully my stability keeps on going 👌 I want to journal more often just to get out of my head, so that's my goal for this week I guess.2 -
Finally started my lifting program yesterday!! It was easier and quicker than I thought it would be but I'm feeling the squats today. It's going to Wicklow get more difficult so I am enjoying working on my form at first.
Went to both Krav and heavy bag yesterday. Trying to remotivate myself at the gym and get my eating back at being regularly in a calorie deficit. I set up a one on one with one of my favorite instructors for Thursday so it's going to be another long day at the gym. Yay! I've also mentally committed myself to going to the advanced krav class next week.
I started journaling and written for three days in a row. My partner at heavy bag last night expressed interest in lifting with me so hopefully that works out. It would be nice to have a partner! Plus, she's a someone that I tested with for yellow belt. It would be nice to make a new friend friend. It's so difficult to do that as an adult.1 -

Last night went to new yoga class but with a teacher I know (and love) & she had a sub who could not have been more different. Really pushed me, but I still felt great when I left - and today - and not sore. I may even go to another class of her’s!!
Still using body positivity affirmations which seem to be helping me embrace my new body. Pleased.
Relaxed after my tough PT & long, fast walk today.2 -
