Self Care 3/16

[cam]

What did you do this past week? Did you take any steps towards better physical health?

Any plans for this week?

Challenge: Delegate at least one thing (in your home life, at work, whatever) to help save some time and/or stress.

This weekend, I saw one of my best friends. It was so nice to catch up in person. We talked about making plans for a weekend get together with the rest of our group sometime this summer, so hopefully that works out. For the challenge, I accepted the fact that my hand injury has worsened recently instead of healing, so I made an appointment with the doctor. I was hoping to also look into some exercise options that will help get my core back in better shape, then get started on something once I found an option that seemed like a good fit for me, but I didn't even get started searching for options. I will try to get on that this week.

This week is up in the air with no specifics planned other than finishing the bottle of wine in the fridge before it turns.

I have been delegating around the clock so I guess I'm ahead of this week's challenge

We got my son's medical issues resolved and the tics and seizure like stuff has subsided.
so i'm having a glass of wine and trying to relax. I took the day off to clean.

In self care, we did remediate a bunch of mold from our house this weekend. It's not exactly a spa day but it is definitely helping my health and my kids' long term.

I haven't done great at self care on any level in the last 1.5 weeks. My husband's family has some really serious drama going on and he's either been gone to help with that or at work. I've basically been home with the kids since the 6th. He has Tuesday & Wednesday off and I'm going to finally get a good nights sleep and some time to work on school.

This is my last class this term and I could technically work ahead but I'm giving myself at least a week or two off.

DH and I are cleaning out our bedroom and planning on getting some stuff to make it nicer. We never spend time doing stuff around the house that's just for us.

I'm continuing with my sugar detox this week. It started to get easier by day 4--the cravings have mostly gone away

This week I'm going to try to get outside more. And I'll have to think of something to delegate...hmmm.

What did you do this past week? Did you take any steps towards better physical health?
I got my hair cut and highlighted! It definitely made me feel a lot better.
And I downloaded an exercise app. I'm hoping it might make me stick with it. I didn't make my doctors appointment yet. I ate decently healthy.

Any plans for this week?
Survive. It's been a rough week so far.

Challenge:
Ha. I started this. I set DS's EI case manager to meet with DH next week. DH is going to take over managing EI things.

We left the kids at home and had date night. Pedicures and margaritas.

What did you do this past week? Did you take any steps towards better physical health? I went to my doctor's appointment and it did not go well because he prescribed anti-depressants for my stress yet he wanted me to record my blood pressure until our next visit on the 24th. I did not take them because I want to r/o high blood pressure first before taking the pills.

DH ordered me a blood pressure cuff to record the readings. DH has been a team player by not setting me off to a high blood pressure.

I only exercised one time last week.

We also went out of town for the weekend to visit my parents out of town and do some shopping. It was really fun! I got to buy two pairs of jeans and two bras. My dad bought me all the foods I crave from home. DH got me with Wing Stop and Five Guys. I am guessing I gained 10 lbs.


Any plans for this week? I need to get back in routine with exercise and healthy eating. DH and I did get blood drawn but the doctor called me to discuss my results. I have asked to discuss the results at our appointment on the 24th.


Challenge: Delegate at least one thing (in your home life, at work, whatever) to help save some time and/or stress I already live this way but I will have DH wash our new bedding and fold the jeans I washed last night today.
