Goal For The Day

[MissMacD]

I slept in late today, didn't do anything at all. I feel my depression creeping up today - tomorrow I really need to get out of my house. It's incredible how much of a difference leaving my house once a day work.

Therapy is a work of art that comes together with trial and error. Today was error and that's just fine with me. I am glad I am learning even if it is awkward.

One of my goals, of which I did badly this week, was to get out of the house at least once a day. Today I made it to an appointment that up to the last moment I wanted to back out. I then did a little grocery shopping. Why do I feel like I am taking deep breaths just to get those things done?

I went for a nice long bike ride today. First to the library to get new books, then to the bike shop to get air in my tires then to the supermarket. It was a refreshing ride and I feel very relaxed afterwards, even though biking in the city makes me really nervous. I have been sticking to side streets and bike paths.

I have been practicing the lessons from therapy so that I can get the best out of my life. I am so much less afraid of failing because I realize I am more afraid to succeed than anything.

Covered a shift this morning at the yoga studio, went to a class after my shift. Spent the evening doing word puzzles and relaxing.

Relaxed most of the day. In the evening went to the grocery store and got ingredients to make marshmallow squares. I got some pork on sale and cut it into portions and put it in the freezer. Made myself some raw veggies and dip with olives and cheese. Now relaxing again. Probably going to yoga tomorrow depending on how I feel :)

Realizing how much weight I have gained, I need to do something about it. I went to the store and bought natural foods, nothing processed, so I will take it day by day.

I hate to admit this, but it is almost like I have gained a pound a month since I put my name on that waiting list for the duplexes. So, now that my name has been removed from the list, it is time to remove this weight that I put on. My body has been trying to tell me something all along, and now I have to listen to it.

Darn those new scales!!

@ Let It Be, we are in the same boat with the weight thing. I have had so much stress in the past few months that it's no surprise that I have put on a few pounds. It really bothers me because I feel gross in my own body. I started doing hot yoga again and biking. When I walk my dogs I sprint with them. Started drinking way less soda and more water. Being in therapy has been really hard on my body and being on Seroquel has made me gain weight too. All the best to you :)

@ MissMacD

All the best to you too and lots of good thoughts coming your way today and every day!

I can tell already this isn't going to be easy for me, but I just can't ignore it any longer!

Hang in there!:)

My goal for today is to relax and focus on improving myself.

I rode my bike today about 10km to go to the employment office to inquire about French programs, then to the bank, and the butcher to get some bones for my dogs. Part way through my bike ride I treated myself to a delicious organic pear and an organic apple (both super yummy). Now I am home, I thought about going to yoga but realize that it would be over doing it if I did the long bike ride and yoga.

I am going to cook dinner for my boys soon :) Meals together rock.

Yesterday I biked to my therapy appointment then went to a hot yoga class. Yesterday was great.

Today I did my volunteer shift at the yoga studio then took my dogs to the park for a run.

 

[MissMacD]

Rode my bike to the employment office, then to the bank. Bought some organic fruit and an organic loaf of bread. Treated myself to a cup of coffee. Came home for a snack, trimmed my dogs toe nails and then went to a 75 minute hot yoga class. It was a great day.

I confronted feelings I was having today that could have turned into trauma - really proud of myself for using the techniques I have learned in therapy to process my emotions in a healthier manner.
