Drizzle and showers today. I wanted to run, maybe I still will be able to. I hope. I don't mind drizzle or a shower but if it "rains" I might have to do something else. Not sure I want to get on the TM. Yesterday I did a strength workout and then a bike ride after supper. Should have dressed a bit warmer for the bike...brrr. It was chilly.
Val - your alarm must have known that you needed more ZZZzzz's.....but I hope you made it for a swim. I have had my posts disappear before, so frustrating!
Marla - I've always thought it would be nice to be in a bookclub....sorry you are saying goodbye!
Laura - so sorry you are still not feeling well and that leg is still not better. Good idea to make the changes small and gradual, it would definitely be frustraing.
Sherry - so glad that you got out for a good run! Yay0 -
Maureen - I can only handle the treadmill for small increments. I can't do those long runs on them. Today I'll probably hit the treadmill for about 20 minutes but that's about all I can handle.
Laura - I'm with you on only changing one habit at a time. Life seems to have its cycles where everything is crazy and you just hang on to survive through it. But when I get out on the other end I have to relearn many of my good habits. I do what you're doing...pick one thing and focus on that. If I focus on everything, I end up failing. Good luck!
Got in a spat with hubby yesterday morning. Basically, he works late so I have to keep the kids quiet so he can sleep while I get them ready. But yesterday they were pretending to be puppies and barking. It wasn't loud, but something about the tone of it made it carry and it kept him awake. But of course he never bothered to come out and let us know. He just sat there stewing. When I went in to get him up later he greets me with a glare and some sarcastic and sharp comments about being unable to keep kids quiet. Combine that with the diddly squat he gave me the previous day for Mother's Day and I was pretty hurt by the whole thing. He did spend the rest of the day doing his thing where he's refusing to appologize or admit he's wrong but he'll text me super sweet messages and act extra nice. Like that should make it all go away. But when I tried to talk to him about it he just rolled his eyes. Then he went to work again. So I had that weird feeling all day from an unresolved conflict. But I did get to go swimming and I didn't binge eat. I did drink a mike's hard lemonade as a treat. But it did help calm my nerves before bed a bit.
Today I'm hoping to do a brick workout at the Y...ride the indoor bike and then hop on the treadmill right after. My mom is coming over today as well and I'm baking her a cake. It's her birthday and when my oldest found out she wasn't having a birthday party...she was appalled! So we are baking her a cake and she's coming over.
. I'll also give her the Mother's Day present then as well.
Have a great day everyone!0 -
Val, hang in there, hopefully some day he will get it. It's always hard to see things from others point of view.
As if I didn't have enough on my plate, my hubby came in my work yesterday crying because of major dental/medical problem. He had cancer 18 yrs ago and had to have radiation near his jaw line and he was always told in the future it would affect his teeth and bones and last few years it has.
Two years ago he had to have tooth pulled and because of radiation had to spend a month on and off in hyperbaric chamber first at hospital in seattle. (that adds extra oxygen to the bones)
So now it looks like some other teeth have problems. The tooth before was in the back so he just left a small hole since we don't have insurance for dental and implants are very pricey. This one is close to the front so...
He flipped out and is now ok, but I finally lost it, been crying off and on since then. Just reached my limit of stuff I can handle. We have to set up a bunch of appts after we get settled back in CA.
All I see is pain, physically for him and financially for both of us and loss of my travel dreams. But that is spoken from my fear place. Today I am talking from my emotional place, tomorrow I will be strong again.
As my counselor said, I have a right to freak out about all this and cry. No need to be strong every minute.
It's raining today which I am glad sort of fits how I feel, taking a feel good day off. Watch tv, read.0 -
Another great threadstarter that makes me go, "ahhhhh".
Laura, yesterday we cross posted (I type slow on the iPad). I hope you are feeling better.
Maureen, hope you get a run in.
Val, your husband sounds like mine, gets me bent out of shape, passes his bad mood to me, and then tries to sweeten me up without ever resolving it. And men say that women are moody, HA! Have fun with your mom, happy bday to her.
Oh Marla, these things always come at the wrong time. You do have a right to let down your strong front and let yourself cry. It can help you feel better, and everything will be better soon. Some day you'll be all settled into a new place and living a dream and look back and say, "it turned out fine--great, actually!"
Today I ran to the beach and about 1/3 way back I stopped at pet store to get special cat food for my cats (elderly for one and weight control for the other. The old one can't gain weight and the young one eats both their food. Sigh)
Have a good one.0 -
Reading & keeping hope alive. Virtual hugs!0
