7/22 Today I will...

Good Morning!  The sun is shining and it is going to be a beautiful day today!  I am getting this out of the way before I go to work as I know I will be struggeling to get through all of my accounts again, so will have limited OH time during the day.  So here goes.
Today I will.....drink 100 or more ounces of liquid, protien first, only have smoothie after dinner no other snacking, pick up workout tapes from UPS and do them, paint finger and toe nails, and do dishes/clean house before leaving on Thursday, and to bed before 1 am, even if I don't feel tired. Yesterday I....get in 100 plus ounces of water/CL--yup  I got it all in before I left work yesterday, keep away from the carbs the rest of the day (dratted pb filled pretzles)--nope had some pretzles last night, eat lots of protien--did okay, could have had more protien at dinner though, get laundry put away--nope totally spaced this one, go to Lia Sophia party and enjoy myself--yes I had a great time, go to bed at a reasonable time (couldn't get to sleep until 1:30 this morning)--not so much, didn't feel tired, and look for something to wear to the funeral on Thurday--yup picked up a cute black dress and shoes.

Good Morning Nicole!!! Yes it is a beautiful day, but then again, everyday is beautiful in it's own way. I too am trying to stay caught up at work....it is amazing how far behind you can get being gone a day and a half.

I am eating better now that I am home from Rochester. NO more pizza for a while!!!!

Today:

Concentrate on protein.....

Eat 2 banana's.... one before each time I take the chantix, otherwise it really messes up my stomache for about 1/2 an hour, the banana really helps

Drink plenty of fluids.

Finish Laundry

Clean apartment

Get a full nights sleep

Be good to myself.

That is about it for today.

Hello!  It is a nice day and unfortunately I will be spending it inside working.  I can't believe how much work I have to do and I am SO motivated to make some progress on it.  My goals for the day are to get in 80oz of fluid, take all of my medications/vitamins (have been slipping on this lately), work LATE (trying to shoot for 45-50 hours of work this week instead of the 35-40 I've been getting from surgery...lazy me), and when I do get home I want to finally start reading my new book about Alaska Cruises (didn't come yesterday).  I did about 50/50 on yesterday's goals....I didn't quite get in all of the water that I wanted and my book didn't come from Amazon so I couldn't start planning our cruise.  I also was tired and so didn't start thinking about rewards.  However, I did get a really good grocery shopping trip completed and I got a lot done at work.  So, overall, it was a good day yesterday.

I probably won't be back on OH today so enjoy it everyone!

Kelly~I hope you are feeling better today.  I hear ya on the too tired to do the exercise thing, after two nights with only about 4 1/2 hours of sleep each night I am going to crash tonight but am hoping to make myself do one of my new exercise videos.  I hope you have a good day today!

Nicole,

Actually, I'm feeling worse today.....My monthly periods just wipe me out......I see my OBGYN Dr. tomorrow for all my problems with it. I either get it every 2 weeks or if I'm lucky once a month but then have it for 15 days......uhhhh....I'm hoping she can give me some medicine to stop my periods from coming.......Today I've just been laying around, I really just have no energy......

Good luck to you on the new exercise video.....Kelly

You've got (PM) mail!

Hi Nicole!  you just amaze me with your diligence exercising and working your tool!  Too bad the crappola occurred at work, though I learned a long time ago to keep private matters private.  It's very easy to think the people you spend forty hours a week with can be friends, but  it sure hurts to find out 'friendly' does not define 'friend'.  Hope you're sleeping better and having better moments!  Keep on letting His Light shine hon! Hugs galore, Patti

Thank you Patti!  Yes, yesterday was a real eye opener for me and I think you hit the nail on the head with "Friendly does not define friend"  I do spend so much time at work that sometimes it seems that some of the people I am closer to are my "friends".  I did go and have lunchh with them today and it was as it nothing had ever happened, which is good, cause it would not have been fun to have a lot of tension during the one part of the day we can all relaxe.  Unfortunately the dvds I was hoping for did not come in the mail today and by time I got done doing all sorts of unexpected running around this evening it was too late to go for a walk (I don't walk anytime after the sun starts to set) hopefully tomorrow I will be able to get in a little walk between my psych appointment and the PNC support group cause I am starting to feel lazy.  Anyway, hope you have a good night!  Love & Hugs! Nicole
