H was over to take care of the kids on Thursday. He ate dinner here and asked me before I left if I'd like him to put the leftovers away. I said yes, and came home to the dishwasher working away and the leftover chicken in the fridge!
The kids are with him today and tomorrow, but not sleeping there b/c he has some work event on. So this morning, I went to a toning class at the gym w/ S5 in tow (D10 was at a sleepover). H came to pick him up in the middle of the class, so he got to see me in my cute yoga pants and tight top!! Since it's so cold, the idea of showing skin on a regular basis is not top of my list! This was a good opportunity.
In terms of ME, I'm working at making myself exercise more. Well, more than nothing! I am really bad in the winter b/c I normally walk a lot, but I don't even do much of that. I went to yoga yesterday, and then the class today. I will be in pain tomorrow, but I am determined to do this.
I'm also working at improving my diet. I do not eat enough veggies and fruits. I am doing a detox today, and just having fresh fruit and veg, salads and juices. Plus I had brown rice for lunch.
I'm certainly healthier than I was when H first left and got super-skinny. My weight is good now, but my health could be better. I am making that a priority.
Goals:
Eat healthy * Cut back to max 1 cup of coffee a day (I'm currently drinking 2-3) * Drink two bottles of water * Eat at least one fresh fruit with each meal, and two veg with dinner
Exercise 3-4 times a week * Put times in agenda
Keep up with work * Do marking instead of frittering time away on DB boards!! * Put specific goals and times in agenda
Keep up with house * Follow plans
Grow spiritually * Pray and meditate in the morning (I only do this at night and often fall asleep!) * Do Rick Warren's exercises
Support my children * Continue to work at getting D into bed at a reasonable hour * Continue to work at getting S ihto his own bed
Support H * Be there for him if he wants to talk * Follow his lead re. conversations
