Self care- doing one thing a day. Sunday- manicure(home), Monday- eyebrow tint (home), Tuesday- massage (therapist) and facial (at home). Tomorrow is a hand mask at home.
While I was on hold with the utility company for ten minutes I opened my junk email account and unsubscribed from a bunch of stuff along with mass deleting a bunch of things.
Needed a bunch of spices. Penzeys is doing 22% off everything with code “LIES” because they pull no punches and free RESIST! Seasoning packet with every order.
Got a chuckle and a sale, perfect.
The Trader Joe’s dupes for Starbucks egg bites are really good
I bought a pair of sweatpants in the boxing day sales, and now I can wear a pair of warm sweatpants when the other pair is in the wash.
I have not checked the news since morning! I’m about to, but I made my goal
I am sorry to report that I did a workout with heavier weights than normal and ate some vegetables, and feel 10% less insane. Hooray
Also please clap for me because I have graduated from Peloton beginner videos to intermediate! Definitely room to go up in weights but fun to make progress.
Almost a month ago I stepped on a mystery spiky thing in the ocean and have had three tiny bits of something embedded in my big toe since then that finally just worked themselves out
Now that’s just biphobic.
Congrats on heavier weights! Target just dropped off my new, heavier Jazzercise weights (12 pounders- Jazzercise is like a million reps).
Baby who sleeps in later than me privilege! I wasn’t working out when he was consistently waking up at 5, which I know is sleeping in by Ravi standards. Sorry
I’m happy for you, sincerely lol
More people working out?! Yay!
My tiny victory is my niece and I set up an accountability plan for both of us to get in shape. Walking every day and strengthening/flexibility/balance exercises M/W/F. Aiming for 45 min to 1 hour of exercise minimum per day.
Right now my niece has me doing some simple Jessica Valant Pilates videos. I don’t do mat work. Too hard to get up and down with my arthritis. But I do the standing and chair workouts. I also continue to do the exercises I learned last year at my free arthritis program in the gym provided by our provincial health care system.
Yeahhh I do my Jazzercise during nap time, which is only possible because I am not exhausted because the cuckoo rarely rolls out of bed before 7, 7:30. Or BB and I work out together on my work days before I go in.
Well done!
I’ve been looking for an annoying battery type for toddler’s musical books. Finally realized I could look at work, and we sell them. Duh!! And I get them at-cost. Win.
I’m getting $2900 back on my taxes.
Nice
This is the world’s Tiniest Victory, but big for me around saying no to things. I’ve been putting out my next door neighbors trash because she’s had health problems over the past 6 months. No problem, I don’t mind and I’ve had times in my life where I have needed this kind of help. Then, my other neighbors who are friends occasionally ask me when they have to go to work early, and I don’t mind that either. We have a major javelina problem here and you can’t put your trash out too early or it will get knocked over before it’s picked up. Anyway, today they asked me and asked me to also put their neighbors trash out, and it was extremely heavy and I couldn’t. Instead of hurting myself to do it as I would have in the past, I texted and told them that it was too heavy and I could not add on another person’s trash to put out when I’m already putting out multiple other people’s regularly. It was super hard because they are my friends and I would previously continue to hurt myself because I’d be afraid if I said no, we wouldn’t be friends anymore. I had to talk myself into the fact that not hurting myself and being in pain was actually more important than keeping a friendship where someone would get mad about something like that (they totally wouldn’t, but this is my irrational brain). Anyway I told them no and they totally understood and it was no big deal. And so another tiny neural pathway that says it’s ok to say no sometimes has been formed!
I’m proud of you
