    Hi Everyone, after a great time with my daughter and future SIL, they’ve left and it’s hard adjusting to their departure. But work is a bit crazy now and staying busy certainly helps. I have been getting in my 3 stress reducing activities every day and it’s really helped. Having breaks to do something joyful makes all the difference.

    I have a new book I’m enjoying reading on my treadmill: “How the Body Knows Its Mind” by Sian Beilock. Rather than the conventional view that our brain controls our body, the author makes a strong case for how our body and body movements impacts our brains. Fascinating!

    I feel like I’ve been sticking to with my goals pretty well. All the medical appointments has been stressful, but I’m getting into the routine.

    I like the idea of focusing on stress reduction and I have got away from my daily yoga practice 🧘‍♀️so I think I’ve hit upon my April habit. I will continue to stay under my calorie goal 👇 and do my daily PT exercises.🙆‍♀️

    So my affirmations for the month:
    “I care for myself” - (a quote from Jane Eyre) and take responsibility for de stressing every day.
    I’m the kind of student who does her homework.
    I am a woman who stays within her calorie goal and doesn’t use exercise or emotions as an excuse to overeat.

    April 22 👇🙆‍♀️ I skipped yoga.
    April 23 🧘‍♀️👇🙆‍♀️
    April 24 🧘‍♀️👇🙆‍♀️
    April 25 🧘‍♀️👇🙆‍♀️
    April 26 🧘‍♀️👇🙆‍♀️
    April 27 🧘‍♀️👇🙆‍♀️
    April 28 🧘‍♀️👇🙆‍♀️ 💃dancing - I did a shorter yoga routine, but it counts

    @themedalist , your book recommendation sounds interesting.

    It’s been an interesting month to say the least. However, the outcomes have been positive.

    I am recovering well from my op on 20 April, which turned out to be more complex than I had expected. My bodily functions are largely back to normal, and I am mostly off the painkillers. Eating lots of fibre to keep the digestion moving. I haven’t been able to drive yet, and am restricted to gentle exercise for now, but I’m hopeful that is only temporary.

    Temporary weight gain has gone.

    I’m still pondering my habit for May.

    BBH I will…

    I finished the month strong although I was tempted to just skip everything. Seriously, I had to make myself do my PT homework and yoga on April 30. The good news is that when I went dancing on Friday, we did lots and lots of energetic dancing and my ankle held up really well - clearly those daily PT exercises are paying off.
