Self Care January!?! 2nd

Happy New Year! How is it 2017 already?!?

What did you do this past week? Did you do something fun?

Any plans for this week?

Challenge: Since fitness is probably the number one New Year's resolution and even though I personally don't make resolutions, let's go with the theme anyway and make this week's challenge to do something for your physical health (i.e. exercise, diet changes, changing a habit like stairs versus elevator types of things, whatever).

I know. Happy New Year to you as well. 

What did you do this past week? Did you do something fun?

It was a quiet week- all the doctor's offices were closed.

I had lunch with good friends twice and scheduled a third for mid-month. We had a great time NYE despite being annoyed that the friend who organized it made a reservation for 5pm- I'm old but I'm not old enough for the Early-bird Special. DS was invited to a party and stayed for over 5 hours. He chose not to drink so I wouldn't have to come get him. Good kid. 

Any plans for this week?

So many plans. Tomorrow I am functioning as my mother's frontal lobe- the ADHD is strong in that one. I am sitting her down at gunpoint to complete the paperwork to list her house in FL as well as rent it for the winter. Then I am scanning all this along with dad's POA to the leasing/listing agents. I am also arranging cleaning, an appliance delivery and cable hookup ahead of the rental period. Once we finish that, I am scanning all the financials needed to complete her mortgage application for her new house. She settles in 4 weeks and needs to get her shit together. 

Later this week, she has appointments with her psych, therapist and derm. The psych wants me to tag along to the first couple sessions. And she has a support group meeting on Wednesday afternoon. DH has cataract surgery Thursday and follow-up on Friday. I have a BSA district meeting Wednesday night- I'm still sort of pissed about the Scouting article and not hearing back from my district chair or executive- I may blow that one off.

My resolution is to continue to take ownership of what I eat and to continue to get some walks in. I walked a couple times this week and feel so much better for it.

Happy New Year!

Last week: I managed to exercise twice on the treadmill.

We are mostly back on our diet. It is kind of hard when there is still alot of candy and cookies.

I managed to sleep in a little bit by almost an hour one morning last week.

I have watched a lot of Netflix over the holiday break. I have watched one bollywood movie which I am still disturbed by the way it ended. I did watch 10 things I hate about you and some of The Office. I did enjoy Shaun the Sheep episodes with DS.

I managed to get together a trash bag of stuff to get rid of to the shelter.

This week: I hope to exercise at least twice this week.

Dieting will continue.

Today is the last day of vacation before I go back to work and DS goes back to school. I am not looking forward to work. It was a bit rough overall at work before break especially my female boss giving me grief over three days I needed to use my leave on top of holiday break. She seems intense as a boss.

DH, DS and I played Jenga together yesterday. I hope we get to play more board games together.

Challenge: I plan to keep up on the exercise and dieting. I don't have any New Year's resolution.

Past Week: I did make it to the dinner theater with DH and lunch with an old friend. DS got sick again on New Year's Eve so the weekend was spent taking care of him. He's better now and school starts up again tomorrow (finally).

This Week: Job interviews. I am trying to eat healthier. Haven't eaten as much fast food lately (it's part of my resolutions). I'm going to try to make it to the gym tomorrow with DH after my interview. I'm really hoping to get healthier this year and stick with it. Maybe it'll give me more energy if I do.

Not a whole lot of time for self care last week. I went dress shopping with my sister though. I also relaxed for a short time on Sunday finally.

This week, all plans went out the window since LO has a stomach bug while I am the only parent around. Pretty sure I am getting the bug too. Maybe we will get some snuggle time in though.
