Self Care 3/6ish

[cam]

Sorry for the delay. Yesterday was busier than expected.



What did you do this past week? Did you set any goals?

Any plans for this week?

Challenge: Aim to spend at least 5 minutes each day on you.

I set a goal of achieving a specific amount of progress on a few things last week. Barely into the week, I came down with a GI bug, so I made zero progress on those things by the time I pushed through doing all the other stuff I absolutely had to do last week. I did lay in bed for a bit midday on Saturday; LO brought in simple games for us to play.

This week, still trying to get over the darn GI bug. Also, solo parenting a good chunk of the week. Self care is purely on a "play it by ear" basis.

I   hope you feel better soon cam,

DS came home with a stomach bug yesterday, too.

Last week: I managed to exercise 3 times last week.

Diet has been much better except for Friday when I went to my work pot luck and I was much more careful at this pot luck compared to last pot luck but still ate quite a bit.

DH and I went to see the movie Logan. I ate a ton of popcorn.

On Sunday, we celebrated DS's 8th Birthday. I made a blue lego cake. Putting it together was hard but the end result looks like a lego brick. We still have two pieces of cake left I am going to save for DS to eat tomorrow.

MIL came and we ate hamburgers that DH made for us at DS's request. Then we went to the store so MIL can buy DS better shoes for his birthday. DS picked shoes right away just to get out of the store. We ate cake and DS opened his gift from DH and I and the cat.

This week: I started to exercise on Sunday night to work off two pieces of cake that I ate on DS's birthday. I hope to exercise two more times.

Diet has been okay so far. DH had to buy DS a loaf of bread to make toast for DS's stomach bug. I already had one slice and I want that bread gone already.

I want to start reading a book but have not done so because it is too noisy at work and I am hoping to be able to read while DS gets ABA therapy.

Feel better cam, and mamaturtle, DS- how is he 8 already???

I got a couple nice walks in this week. I met one of my self care goals- to see my eye doctor and get new glasses. Alas, the glasses just aren't working for me. I think the progressive lenses aren't seated properly in the frame and I'm having trouble seeing my computer and reading. I didn't love the frames either, although DH and DN are nuts about them. My gut was to go for a more funky style and I have buyers' regret. I think I'm just going to get new lenses for my old frames.

I wonder if Costco would take the new ones back.

mamaturtle, hope your LO feels better quickly too. (Also, I now want cake. )
