Must be something in the air! I didn’t have a nightmare, but went from sound asleep to wide awake about six times throughout the night. This has been a quiet day so far. And needs not to be. We (hubby and I) need to get outside and work on his car. We fixed one thing and several other problems popped up. We think that the new part we put on may be…[Read more]

That was time you claimed for you and I’m happy to hear that you did that! 🙂

My opinion? You’re in a high stress situation. And feeling the squeeze during those situations is completely normal.

I just want to remind you of one thing (that you already know).

The tasks in the challenge aren’t so important as the overall point. The overall point is to take a few minutes out of every day to do something for you. I give the…[Read more]

I watched the clouds go from high up and fluffy white to low and dark grey with lots of thunder and lightening. Unfortunately, we didn’t get a drop of rain!

Today has been low key for the most part. I cleaned, snapped a few food photos, etc. Went for a walk and then a BEAUTIFUL drive and just got finished giving my garden bed a once over.

Foods:

breakfast sandwich

cantina bowl from taco bell

yogurt

shrimp

Yep you’re right. I was posting from my phone and pasted the wrong thing. My bad!

Yep remember I made a swap last week and updated the list: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YrgvPWvt7FB2Y7TRnLKOSX3ktsowbqsEiy8FMmfCAQc

@nikki-massie, my list says that day 15 is sit outside and watch the clouds go by and day 16 is get yourself something fragrant. Is there a different list that I don’t have?

Do I smell MOTIVATION???

(in my mind, motivation smells like chocolate, by the way!)

So let’s get you reconnected. But first, tell me 1-3 things you feel you need to “get your butt in gear” on?

From there we can get you connected to things that are going on!

Two hour nap this afternoon at my husband’s urging. Today is my son’s big move in day. He and my DIL were up all night packing, getting ready for the movers today. We figure there will be a “please, please PLEASE come get Gabe out of our hair for just a little while!” phone call sometime tomorrow.

Today has been a somewhat crappy day and I can’t even tell you why. I woke up tired, I haven’t wanted to eat and I haven’t come close to getting my fluids in.

I did get my steps in, cuz that’s just what I do.

Breakfast/Lunch… part of a vanilla premier protein shake used as creamer in my coffee.

Dinner… leftovers

Early bedtime (if I didn’t…[Read more]

That works! Are they pretty?

Nope. Not gonna let you do that!

If it can’t be an hour, make it 15 minutes. If you can’t make it 15, make it 5. And do something for YOU, Blanche. Listen to a calming song as you go to bed. Have an extra splash of creamer in your coffee. Spritz yourself with some energizing body spray. Go write down several curse words toward your SIL about…[Read more]
