Goal For The Day

[Britt.f7]

Exercise and eat well. Don't know why I have been having such a difficult time with it. I need to eat more to lose weight. Healthy stuff of course. Apparently I don't get enough calories for my body to sustain itself. I also, obviously, need to exercise. Really it shouldn't be so hard to do something that is good for me.

Went yesterday to offer some support to a friend who is in a long term relationship with an addict. They both use substances regularly and are both in denial about it. I offered my ears to listen and ended up leaving early as I realized that nothing is going to get better for her until she starts making better choices. She needs to pack a bag, get her kids and get out of there but she stays.

I left her place early because they started drinking and starting fighting with each other. I realize that there is only so much I can do before I have to leave people to make their own decisions. I am glad that I chose to leave. I did have a few glasses of wine with her and let her vent but it was just too much for me to see a two year old being ignored among a group of adults all approaching their 40's who think that it is okay to party every day.

Today I am taking it easy because the wine and my medication didn't mix so well, so I am making the choice to no longer drink. Instead I am having a reflective day at home - making Yorkshire pudding and taking care of my dogs and being mindful that despite my mistakes I have made some really great choices. Choices being not to drink and party and use substances to escape reality.

Pat on the back for me today.

I want to have a proper snuggle with Jasper, as I keep falling asleep before letting him up, meaning he has to sleep on the kitchen floor (oh woe is him :p ). I've remembered to let him up and he's looking at me and wagging, he keeps putting his head on the keyboard. I think I've got the message. Snuggle time it is.

Eating homemade fruit salad for breakfast.

Exercising. The Sun is Out! Boogie Boarding here I come!

Study Sessions.

Cleaning and Decluttering.

Sit down and write list of things to do.

I went to the grocery store to get ice cream cause the Yorkshire pudding recipe turned out to be really bland. Part of my therapy is to do at least one activity per day.

Great proactive decision on your part, MissMacD. I've had to let some lovely but mindless, self-damaging friends go. Many of them survivors who haven't made that step to try to reflect and work toward something better. It is so heart-breaking. I love them dearly, but they are own their own path as I am on mine.

You get multiple pats on the back from me!!!

As for my previous goal for the day, I've done the errands but still have household stuff to do. We'll see.

I have emotions coming up and I need to keep going. I just want to go to sleep. There are three things I would like to complete today: Study Sessions, Cleaning and Decluttering and Sit down and write a list of things that I need to do, want to do and my goals.

 

[ms spock]

To do some self care and then complete my two goals. I wanted to get a lot more done today than I am but I was invited out and it was worth going even if the beaches were closed and my friend was at the wrong beach.

Clip our cats nails as they keep getting caught. One cat is easy. The other cat because vicious, so we have to put a towel over his head. He growls and has tried to bite me in the past. I have never hurt him so I am not sure why he does this.

To sit with this feeling and work it out.

My goal for today is to go on a walk, go to the University, and clean up the rooms(vaccum included).
How will I do this? I'm going to University early AM today and cleaning up when I get home then a walk tonight with mom.

 

[Britt.f7]

To not feel overwhelmed today and to get all the things I am donating(from my massive cleaning yesterday), boxed up and ready to go.
