I got a new tree today…
It seems like in therapy every time I go, I get a new tree that refocuses me. Last one was titled “I am willing to be energized.” This one is called, “I am willing to have a healthy relationship when it comes to food.” I’m sure you can kinda see what my last few sessions have been focused on, but seriously, I like my tree sessions.
Weight loss to date is 6 pounds. Not a lot considering the time frame, but with the sleep issues and energy situation it’s a huge thing. Losing weight when you can’t get a full night sleep is probably the hardest thing. I also would like to acknowledge the milestone of I am in a whole new category of weight, which probably doesn’t make sense to you at the moment, but I am really not ready to fully disclose. Let’s just say when I got on the scale this morning, the middle diget was one less than previous weigh in. Like I said, milestone.
Exercise is now another factor being done. Last Friday and Saturday I walked for an hour, Sunday I walked for a half hour, and Tuesday I ran 3 miles in 45ish minutes. Again progress, and the running time is going to get chipped away back to where I was a year ago (11:00ish a mile).
As a mini-reward, I bought Iron and Wine tickets for December. I’ve been dying to see them for years and I am finally getting to. Hopefully by then I will have something even more to celebrate.
In other news, my honey found out today the he and all of his co-workers get to hang onto their jobs, something we have both been stressing out about since July. It’s a huge relief considering the alternatives that we expected to happen. Looking forward to celebrating with him over the weekend with our families, although celebrating with mine is going to be more of a coincidence. We all planned to go to The Bridge School benefit on Sunday.
I also recently found a couch/chaise set on craigslist for $150. It isn’t even a year old, but it is super comfortable and snuggle/nap worthy. The insanity level in my apartment has gone away too. It’s amazing how having a place to sit and relax that isn’t your bed can make a huge difference.
