I shoveled around five wheel barrow loads of sand soil in the heat of the day.

I watered the plants,fed the dogs,made potato salad and did a few other good thingzzz.

I slept really well

I have stopped exercising since my instructor retired and I’ve been feeling heavy and retarded and when I feel that way n push myself it makes me sick n worse.
My bf said don’t go n I went anyway pushed myself so I suffered every long second in the treadmill but doing so made me sick so listening to the body my body with more empathy might be the go.

  1. So, far today I’ve gone to counseling and saw the pdoc. I’m starting to make progress and feel pretty good despite circumstances.
  2. Ran an errand, and managed to NOT spend any money today.
  3. Pulled out of the freezer chicken, quinoa and broccoli Bento box I had prepared a few weeks ago. I’ve got my diet back on track and am eating more healthily. Wrangled my stomach back onto a 1,700 calorie diet. And have lost 2#'s.

I organized and participated today in an incompany course for employees with “experiences” (eg past addictions, psychological issues). All shared their recovery story today. It was scary in all sorts of ways…being social in a group, sharing vulnerable experiences with colleagues, hoping all would work out well organisationwise, just being up on my feet again after a minirelapse last week and already having to go through such emotional turmoil.

But…I survived! And i even went on a soccer team outing with my son after.

I think that counts for 3, i was terrified, but i did it!

I went to the gym and exercised (unlike yesterday when I left after five minutes)

I got to cuddle my sacred neigh and make food bags for her and I saw great writings on the shed wall (where I went to use the bathroom)about how people should be with their horses etc.

I have been wearing some early Christmas gifts today such as wallet,sunglasses and earrings and I love :two_hearts: them.

My boyfriend fixed something on my car for me.

I met with my support worker and I feel more comfortable with her now and can even chat with her.
When I first met her and her boss I thought they were nazis up to mischief about me.

  • I spoke to one of the volunteer peer supporters and we thought of ways to help him get a job. I was happy to help him practically.
  • I saw my son and parents today
  • I made a decision today to work less. I love my job, but there is no balance, it is too much. My boss and i agreed that i work 18 hours instead of 24. All in good agreement. :slight_smile:
