I stood up for myself, emotionally, and physically today. I told someone due to my emotional needs, and physical needs I could no longer keep a commitment I had with them, and that they would need to make further arrangements. She tried to get me to agree to just a few more days. I was firm, polite, and said no....I know she isn't happy, and feels like I am forcing her hand, but this is about me now.
She will have to make further arrangements, or the decision that she has been procrastinating about.
Feels good to be assertive without anger, and too much emotional crap getting in the way.

I surprise ordered Anthony a Crazy Frog t-shirt (The Annoying Thing - which he really likes) from the States and it was delivered today..... I normally can't keep a "good" secret as I get too excited and I lasted until it was delivered!

Well, mine is more of the week... I took my walking back up nightly I had slacked off of and now I have hubby joining me (woo hoo!).
I started back out at maybe a mile and that was as far as my back pain would let me and I was pooped. Now a week later I made it 3.5 miles. I am happy I did it but judging by how my legs are already sore I won't be holding my breath to be able to go that again for a couple days (will be fine after that), but that is my goal now, 3.5 miles a night until it is easy. Then we step up the pace at the track after that! I even ran some of it tonight.
I do plan to do upper body training though while my legs return from this jello state LOL. And I have been behaving on my diet too, PMS and chocolate ice cream is a given, but I am still keeping everything in range. Had to drop drinking alcohol as the calories are just not worth it. Though I learned tonight that eating ice cream before exercise is a bad bad idea, it almost came back up on me and I got so dizzy.
I think the best part for me is when the heart was racing after running and getting sick, short of breath, and dizzy my mind flipped the switch into panic attack mode as those are usual symptoms. I felt it so my mind said this was it and away we went. I talked out loud while I did my cooling stating "no, this is what working out feels like, remember?" "This is not a bad sensation but a good one" "This is good for me... puff puff" And I was able to pull myself out of the attack. It was too awesome! Though I did feel like a dork sounding like I was speaking to a gremlin on my shoulder or something. But it worked!
Now I need to go to bed... My thighs keep twitching. Oh yeah, I will feel this tomorrow for sure.

Hey good for you Veiled!
I came on here to type that I went to the gym tonight, even though I felt angry & wanted to stay home & feel sorry for myself.
I do some cardio, but I also like doing the weights - it makes my body feel stronger & it correlates to my mind.
This is also my 11th alcohol free day (12 is my record since beginning therapy just over 12 months ago).
Looks like we will both be feeling the effects tomorrow.
