self care check in

That sounds great. I took my two dogs for a walk this morning. i'm not sure that that counts as self-care although I think that it does because it makes me feel good.

-watched my fav soap opera with mom.
-showered.
-brushed teeth

send me some sleep my way

really

not slept for.... so long

how I can not let it affect me is beyond me

super woman or something

no seriously. it's not affecting me

-showered (but felt gross for it)

- kept my fan on all day so far

-eaten breakfast

- decided what to have for dinner

- watched an episode of supernanny US and smiled at the kids behaviour

still need to listen to my daily music though

not sure how I've reached 2 15 in the afternoon without listening to music

drank a lot of liquid to keep hydrated and went for some good sized wee wees lol

Made the decision today to commit to exercising with weights four times a week.

Why bother. Self care is a bore......at best.

Ate too much. No other self care . Disappointed

Don't feel bad. I just drank a bunch of Pepsi and had fried shrimp, fried and cake for dinner. Gonna get back on track tomorrow.

Going for my night walk soon, I walk everywhere basically. It's good exercise for me.

Great going!

I have not been able to take my walks for 6days...I feel so disappointed and a little guilty too. I'll try to concentrate more on exercising from Mon bc I m getting fat...I'll try to push myself to go for eve walks and do the stretching exercises. Hopefully I'll be able to.

-went out to the bank, parlor, grocers etc.
-showered.
-brushed my teeth.
I have been feeling depressed for about a week. Not been able to exercise or do much housework or studying.

Thank you Desiree! Yes, I understand. Even going for walks and exercise can be a major struggle.

Yes, you can do it, I'm sending out my support and encouragement to you friend! Because that's like me - I want to at least be able to look in the mirror and say, okay, I'm happy with what I see. I watch my diet, so that helps too.

Let us know how you get on this Monday, Desiree. I might check into this thread a bit more often. We will nail these inner demons!

Thanks so much mote.of.soul. Yeah I wanna look good too and I m getting fat again. I m watching my diet but I m not exercising at all.

I'll let you know by eod Mon if I have been able to take that eve walk and do the stretching exercises. Being accountable to you will help me a great deal.
Hugs.

Today I couldn't do cleaning or go out of the house but I walked indoors for about 30mins and did 15mins of stretching exercises. So far so good.
Tomorrow I'll be going out...have to attend a b'day party.

-exercised indoors(about 45mins tho not all at once, 15mins*3...right now I m not able to exercise for more than 15mins at a time)
-showered
-brushed teeth

Aw, good on you Desiree, really well done, ((((big_hugs!)))) You said you were going to begin exercising and you did. I'm proud of you friend! Yes, you can build on that too. I did my walking today as well, so we both achieved our aims! But lets not forget about tomorrow either...

Hang in there Desiree, things are improving!

-drank plenty of liquid

- had my fan on all day

- listened to music
