I used to eat dark chocolate alot, it just seems hard to think about eating.
The soup sounds good. Thanks!

i followed with the boundaries i set.

(my sit - h is not seeing ow, kinda back, but w/out the commitment, with no change in negative attitude towards me or our r and not being home for months due to his job)

he likes to talk, i made him an offer: i will do what he likes - talk the way he wants, if he would do what i like - having some fun-nice-whatever note or picture or something by email. he sent couple times - it was nice. but then he stopped. i let it slide - ok he is working hard but yesterday i said that we had and agreement and he is not following through. so i would not talk.

setting boundaries is hard for me. but it would be the repeat of or previous dynamic in the relationship if i would not do it.

it helped me with providing structure, reminders and encouragements. some of the system/ideas may be unorthodox . worth trying and finding out what out of their program works for you. you can sign for emails - it's free and priceless

Took a nap today.

Made a decent meal for dinner.

I'm not exercising because I think I am getting sick.

Well, I'm not feeling that great today, but I did take a long bath and deep conditioned my hair, that sort of thing....

Tonight we are having rotisserie chicken, and what doesn't get eaten goes to homemade soup.

Liking the cooking thing. I am getting better at it, too.

i run at 8pm today. i was just saying to myself - ok, you are going, not listening to any of your own excuses, you are going, that's it! put Sting on and off i went to run around the neighborhood. it was a starry night and the wind was warm (comparing to freezy snowy yesterday). in summer i was able to run 10 miles. after my physical/emotional breakdown that started to heal less than two weeks ago i was only able to walk for 20 minutes. so i was just building up. today i added 4 more minutes - now i am running for 35 min. feels good.
