Re: Weekly Healthy Living Check In
The good- I went to my Turbo Kick class and for the first time in a while I really enjoyed myself (like I used to before my pregnancy). I have been having to force myself to go, and it felt good to be back at a point where I liked it.
The bad- Turbo Kick is the only class I did this week, lol. I am hoping that liking it will be my motivation to go to more and hopefully I will enjoy those as well!
The proud- I am proud for how I have been around people this week. I'm sure nobody on the outside has noticed, but I have been more accepting this week and haven't had quite as many nasty feelings for those who are pregnant and have babies that complain (in my eyes) a bit too much. Sorry if that comes off as jerky, but I have been making a conscious effort to not be so angry.
The plan- Sort of in my bad statement. I am hoping to go to more classes this week.
The Good: With it only being my first week my only goal was to stop crying in front of the boys. I know its hard for my 4 year old when he sees me upset. And he wants to help. So when I get through a day and kept my crying to nighttime I know its been a good day.
The Bad: I have had some pretty nasty thoughts. Sometimes thinking that everyone would do better if I wasnt here.(which I know is not the case) Or that me not being here would be the only way to end this constant pain. Sometimes its so bad I cant breathe and I hate it.
The Proud: I have yet to lash out at anyone. We have been making an effort to leave the house. Go to the park or just do minor chores that we have put off for so long. I just want to scream at people to let them know what I have been through. But I cant do that and I am sure that after I made a complete stranger horrified I would feel bad.
The Plan: To love my boys more and more everyday. To make more of an effort to tell my husband how much I appreciate him. To try not to think of all the bad things that could happen all the time. AND last but not least get my baby girls ashes back so I can have a sense of calm.
The good - I am really enjoying my DD these days. I just love her so much. I can't imagine how hard the past few months would have been without her. I feel truly blessed to have her.
The bad - I have been really, really angry lately. It's just stewing under the surface all of the time. It can't be healthy. It makes it incredibly difficult to be around most people. I don't know what to do about it.
The proud - Despite my anger I am managing to be a really loving mom to my DD (at least I hope so). I seem to have infinite patience with her lately. I guess I am really just appreciating the little person that she is. I have also been exercising regularly and I just feel stronger & in better shape.
The plan - Today is CD1. TTCAL begins this cycle (yikes!)
The good: I was offered an opportunity to teach a pilates class on Saturdays in March.
The bad: Sylvie's EDD is quickly approaching and it is affecting me more than I thought it would. I had been doing ok but the closer it gets the more bad moments/episodes I'm having. I took a mental health day on Tuesday because of the emotions and stress.
The proud: I ran 10!!! miles on Sunday. A few months ago I never thought I'd be able to run more than 3 - and even that was a challenge. I ran the entire 10 and I felt good while doing it, until the end when I MF'd myself with thoughts of what it would be like to have Sylvie there at the finish line cheering me on. But I managed to pull it together and finish strongly. My HM is in 10 days and I feel semi-prepared.
