Self Care 2/27

[cam]

What did you do this past week? Did you get anything checked off from your to do list's back burner?

Any plans for this week?

Challenge: Set a goal for yourself. It could be short term like something you want to accomplish this week or long term like making a fairly permanent change.

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

I did watched Amadeus on Netflix in pieces over the course of the week. DH and I like that movie so I have at least seen a few times.

My diet has been to eating one piece of candy a day over the last few days. It was hard.

I didn't get the director's job that I applied for. I got the rejection letter last week. They obviously had someone else in mind and it was not me. My boss and coworker (her daughter) were obviously nice to me. My boss let me go early by 10 minutes and my coworker bought me a drink from Sonic.

Our Sears is closing and DH had me buy new slacks and a new shirt. I am now a size 10 in pants but they seem a bit snug. Maybe it is because I am not use to wearing any clothes that fit my body now since I have lost weight for over a year.

This week: I went to my doctor's appointment today and I am now 41 lbs. lighter than when I was first diagnosed with high blood pressure over two years ago (I can't remember how long its been)! My DH said I can thank him at my doctor's appointment. He has helped so much with my diet and exercise.

I plan to at least work out two times this week.

Diet will continue as much as possible.

DS's birthday is this coming Sunday and I am making a blue lego cake. We are going to have hamburgers because DS requested them for his birthday. MIL will come over.

She has been complaining about what to get DS. She called and asked me on the weekend if we could order a cake when I already decided to make the cake and bought the stuff for the cake for over a month in preparation for DS's birthday. She wanted to buy DS shoes when DH and I said we already bought him shoes. She asked DH "are they the good shoes?" Annoying. I am so not looking forward to her coming now.

mamaturtle, congrats on the weight loss. Sorry your MIL is grating on your nerves. Hope you get some breaks from her (or at least from her oh-so-helpful input) while she is there. Have a great party!

Congrats on maintaining a significant weight loss- that's a big deal.

I got 3 decent walks in this week- DH is slowly getting back into it after a foot injury so they were a bit shorter than my idea of a good walk. I did get one longer 5 miler in on a day he opted out.

DH and I went to the eye doctor and both ordered new glasses; I got new eye drops for my chronic dry eye. And I cleared my inbox of scouts and units in need of press releases.

My goals this week are for my mom- she needs a new bi-pap machine, to see her lawyer and get a new license. So much fun!!!
