Self Care 4/3

[cam]

Sorry I was MIA last week. We had two deaths in the family (not even related causes), so it has been a full week as you can probably imagine. Anyway...



What did you do these past two weeks? Did you catch up with a friend?

Any plans for this week?

Challenge: I can't recall what challenges I have done recently, and this needs to be a post and run, so sorry if this has been a challenge recently. Get something off the back burner of your to do list.

Where is everybody???


I had a dinner date with our "couples friends" on Saturday. That's always fun. He son-in-law brought pizza from DiLorenzo's (best in NJ, IMHO) so we ate in and were able to talk for a couple hours.

Other than that, busy with parent stuff. We may have a buyer on my mom's other house. Dear Lord, I hope this one goes well. I need the stress off my plate.

Still dealing with the deaths, especially the closer relative. We did have a birth in the family during the past week as well, so at least there was some bright spot.

I've had one semi-decent night of sleep in the past week. Lack of sleep plus a thousand hugs plus a crappy immune system equals no surprise I am now sick. Hopefully it passes quickly. I am pumping myself full of fluids. The sore throat is a handy reminder. My goal is to go to sleep at a decent time tonight.

Trying to get back in the routine of exercise and such. Lots of stuff to get caught up on as well (groceries!!!, paperwork, housework, etc), but hoping to get in some mini rests here and there throughout each day. Have plans for fun stuff this weekend to look forward to.

Last week: DH said we both gained like 5 lbs. each due to diet. So I ended up walking on the treadmill 4 times last week. Also, we went out of town Tuesday and yesterday so I had to exercise for the food we missed from our hometown because it is not friendly with my diet.

This week: We went out of town because DH had an appointment in the same town where my parents live. It was so much fun! DS and I have not seen my parents in a little over 5 months. DS was excited to find treasures from my parents' yard at our visit. The biggest treasure DS found was a brass eagle that my brother left outside. My dad was happy to get rid of that while my brother was not there.

My mom tested my blood sugar. Mines was good after 2 krispy kremes doughnuts and a coffee with sugar. I am just borderline/ pre-diabetic. My mom says I should be fine if I keep up with diet and exercise.

I have to get back on my exercise routine. I told DH I have to exercise tonight. I have not worked out at all this week. I hope to squeeze in at least 2 times this week.

We need to get back on our diets.

I'm sorry for the losses with which you are still dealing cam,. It's the suckiest part of adulting. Feel better soon.

Good for you mamaturtle, for staying with the diet even when you can't be perfect.
