I've been following along as well, and love your ideas above! It helps me too because I'm trying to find practical ways of doing more 180s and GAL. It's hard as a stay at home mom. Most of my friends are into their families at night. I would love to be able to just be gone with H gets home - doing my own thing - but other than shopping or going to the bookstore or something, I really don't know what to do! I try to plan things with the kids but they always ask H to go along (in their minds, why wouldn't they) or they have other things planned. I've been trying to do some things at home with them when I can or just doing my own thing while H is doing his. I know I need to do more than that though.
A few things I've been doing:
being dressed up when H gets home. If H asks about it (which he has at times) I'm just vague about what I did during the day.
Gotten brochures about places I want to visit and have them on my nightstand.
Exercising regularly - and making sure there is evidence. I don't tell him what I've been doing, but do little things like leaving my exercise clothing on the bed and shoes by the door.
Got my hair cut differently
Gotten a nice tan and kept it (self-tanner - no skin cancer!)
Yes, I know these physical things aren't big life-changers, but just part of the "look good" philosophy
Am going back to school to pursue my degree
Been looking for a job - but I'd rather just do school full time
