Taking care of you

[dizzycooks]

Saw this on another board.

Many of us have 2+ kiddos and others are FTC, both take a toll.
What are you doing to take care of you lately? What would you like to do?

Other than "Federal Trade Commission", what does this mean? 

Things that ran through my head:

First To Cry
Full Time Criers
Future Third Child


... I don't think I'm close to figuring it out.

Hahaha uh that should say ttc- trying to conceive...

[Lollipop]

Uhhh. Not much? I should probably start doing that more.

I'm usually pretty good at getting my workouts in which helps immensely. I mainly do barre but mix in some running and spinning. Reading is a big thing for me as well. Nothing better than book + wine + bath!

Yeah I am kind of failing at this. Need to figure it out. This weekend I am going to a work thing but iam doing it for myself not clients and another trainer is coming with me who is a good friend. So I am hoping it will be awesome. I am looking forward to nice weather and time spent on the beach. That will probably be my big indulgence. Also I am being firm about taking my day off when not traveling.

I was working out before work.

I need to do that again.

Deep breathing. I had forgotten how important this was. Any time I remember to do it (generally on my commute to and from work) I take very deep calming breaths. Cool clean air in, hot negative air out.

I also try to work out/do yoga

And because I am TTC again, I am back to acupuncture 2-3 times a month which I LOVE

Not much over here either. I have been working on getting to bed a little earlier so I can get more sleep (6.5 - 7 hours is my goal). I need to get my workouts in and eat better.

I'm thinking about trying audio books. I get easily distracted these days when I'm reading and I wonder if an audio book would help me shut the world out a little better. Plus, than I could color while I do it in my snarky coloring book.

[kcrkcs]

Audio books reminds me that I have been taking time to listen to podcasts I enjoy while driving etc.

Sundays are absolutely no-work days.
I read novels when I get the chance (waiting at the dr's, Sundays, while eating lunch, etc.)

[scorpioscuba]

I need to start this. Now that H is done with school for the summer I'm hoping I can get back to bi-weekly massages, maybe some pedicures and I really need a haircut!

But in general, I'm really bad at this. There is just no time.

[Lollipop]

I read novels constantly. Especially when H is home and the kids want him more than me.
