Self Care - Nearly 2/13

[cam]

Starting it now because tomorrow is looking like a nightmare. This way, I am not behind on starting it again.



What did you do this past week? Did you get in at least 5 minutes each day?

Any plans for this week?

Challenge: Do something extra for your physical wellbeing (i.e. take a nap, make a needed appointment, exercise an extra day or for a little longer session, switch the soda you want for a better option, etc).

Got a little sewing in one day late last week. Laid down for a rest (attempted nap) yesterday after not sleeping well the previous night. Kept up with my PT and OT exercises as well as my own workout exercises all week. Not feeling well all weekend though, so skipped my workout exercises as they would not pair well with my symptoms.

If I feel up to it, getting together with friends later this week (I'm not contagious, so just depends if I feel completely crummy yet or just mildly crummy). Beyond that, still have another hectic week in store, so hopefully I can squeeze in some me time here and there.

Omg, I was able to take a 2 hour nap everyday with my kids all week, and have a peaceful week with just my kids since my DH was on a trip. Now the he is back is becoming a little crazy.

I managed to get a little me time in. I got into the park for a couple long walks twice last week and I managed to treat myself to a me-time trip to Ulta for some supplies. DH and I did happy hour at a local brewery and noshed on some hummus and a cheese plate which felt decadent.

Setting my parents up is winding down. Since August when my dad ended up in the hospital, I have helped my mother sell and move from one house into an apartment and then buy and move into a 2nd house. Plus prepare, list and rent her place in FL. Once it sells I'll head down to oversee emptying that place. This week, mom needs to write a will, sell a car, get a drivers license and register the remaining cars, take dad off the cell plan, see 2 different doctors. And probably a dozen things I haven't thought of yet.

I have already made an eye appointment for myself; cobbled it onto one for DH. Plus DH has a nuclear stress test this week and a sleep study to schedule. Once it warms up a bit I vow to get out more. I'm already making better food and drink choices than I was a year ago.

I need to sit down with DS and have a CTJ about his next steps ahead of graduation.

Last week: I managed to walk on the treadmill twice for 20 minutes each. I was going to exercise for a third time on Saturday but changed my mind at the last minute because I was lazy.

Diet was okay.

Yesterday, DH, DS, MIL and I went to the Lego Batman movie. It was a great movie and I am glad we went. I ate a ton of popcorn.

This week: I plan to exercise at least twice on the treadmill.

Today, DH and I went to my annual appointment with the OBGYN. I have been waiting since August to be seen. DH and I were able to address our concerns and ask all our questions.

Today, DH and I got DS a heart shaped pizza for Valentine's Day from Papa Murphy's. We are going to have it for dinner tonight.

Tomorrow, DH and I have a lunch date at Buffalo Wild Wings. Afterwards, I am making a caramel cheesecake for us.

On Wednesday, I have another doctor's appointment because the doctor requested I go in to get a check up because I am pre-diabetic/borderline. I am hoping I do not need any blood work when I go in.
