Taking care of me
Oh, yeah, this is all about me.
I'm doing several things this week to take care of myself.
First, I'm eating my food plan, no more no less. I have a tendency to be ... compulsive in my eating. Either compulsively eating everything in sight, or compulsively starving myself. Today I will eat the food on my nutritionally balanced food plan to take care of myself.
I'm getting enough sleep. I'm actually trying to sleep in, but I'm not very good at that.
I'm buying one and only one new pair of shoes. I broke the strap on my favorite sandals yesterday. They were really cute - gladiator type design. I miss them terribly. So today I will replace my sandals.
I'm applying for jobs. I've created an "unemployed" budget. I've filled out all the paperwork for unemployment benefits. In other words, I'm taking care of myself by refusing to procrastinate the things I need to do. This is reducing my stress level significantly.
I will probably not be online much today, but if you don't hear from me much for a day or two, it's not because I'm not thinking of you and wondering how it's going. It's because I'm taking care of business.

My kids are with their dad this month and I am amazed at the time that I suddenly have. I also have committed to focusing on healthy habits for me.
ok, quiltnmomi and BettyC... I know you will miss them... but I have to say I am really jealous right now and wish I had an ex or at least an interested grandparent (yeah, that would be better than an ex
to send my kids to for a month!! I'm a little bit dreading the final total assault on "me" time that summer vacation brings.
yay for taking care of you & taking care of business! post when you can so we don't get too lonesome for you, though...
Stick to it, pretty lady. I've found that health is about all the little individual choices. It sounds like you're doing it right.
All About Me time....gotta love it!

Yah!! you go. Have fun. Start planning ideas for the next get together.
Go, take care of yourself! Have fun! The boy's are having a fun.
Tucker did lose a darn-near solid silver tooth. For two nights straight he's forgotten to put it under his pillow. I asked him if he thought it could get "stale" so the tooth fairy couldn't find it. He said "Yeah, this will probably come back to taunt me."
I love that kid!
I remember how quiet - and how strange - it felt when my older two would head to their dad's house for the summer. Kudos to you for thinking through what you need to do and doing it.
Good job!
You are inspiring me.
You keep at it. I take a lot of tips from you.
And I want a pair of those sandals too.
is it $2 now?
hey, you enjoy your freedom -they'll be back soon enough
Good for you...take good care of yourself.
Proud of you ...I added drinking all my water and taking vitamins to my list.
This is an inspiring post. I hope all is well with you today. I've spend the past 10 days taking care of me...the knee is much better...and the other health issues have lessened...so I'm feeling pretty good today.
Hugs to you and Happy Monday, C.
