Thursday it is and happy about it I am!! However, tonight is a going away party for one of my husband's co-workers at a pizza joint!! LOL!! They make awesome pizza but good lord, I have no idea how many calories are even in one piece. They pile on the toppings and the crust is sort of bread like, unlike any other pizza I've ever had. Hopefully I can be reasonable ... but regardless, it is only one meal and one meal doesn't determine a heck of a lot!!
I'm looking forward to the weekend, even though it will be work with our splitting duties!! Our son will be driving up after he gets off of work on Friday. Haven't seen him for a few months so it will be nice to hug him. I'm really looking forward to filling the wood shed. I LOVE a full wood shed and actually I rather enjoy stacking it up!! I'm going to buy a couple take and bake pizzas to have on hand for Saturday, quick cooking and satisfying for hungry boys, and have to think what else I need to have on hand for food. My son always looks forward to mom's cooking. Hard to say if he'll prefer a breakfast burrito or french toast for breakfast. Both are favorite's of his so I guess I better have supplies for both on hand. Funny thing is ... hubby isn't fond of french toast so I'll probably wind up making two different things ... just call me the short order cook. I rarely cook though so it will be fun. I should have time to run to the market before I go home on Friday so I can stock up.
I think my scale might be possessed!! The first time I stepped on it this morning is said I weighed 182 something. That seemed pretty crazy so I stepped on it again and then it was 186 something. Third time is the charm, right? Then it said 185 something. Weird. I guess the important thing to note is the numbers are declining. I am calmer about fluctuations but still I have those random "panic" thoughts that try to sneak in. I am better though at using more than one tool, clothes ... how they fit and how I feel in my body counts too. I still struggle with wanting to be the same number all the time ... and continue to work on accepting the reality that the number on the scale fluctuates for a variety of reasons and that my fluctuations are fairly broad. It's an ongoing process ... even though I've been hovering in this range for well over a year I'm still learning.
I'm happy that today will be mostly deskwork until this afternoon when I have just 2 appointments. One is an already established family that is close to the office and easy to be with. The second is a new referral, very young mom, extremely emotional, with her children currently in fostercare so that will take a bit more energy on my part. Never a dull moment in my work, which is one of the reasons I mostly enjoy what I do.
I really hate cubby land. It is so distracting ... hearing everyone's telephone conversations. There are a couple cubby mate's who have particularly annoying voices and laughs that really get under my skin. One of these days I hope to get another ipod that I can leave here at work. I have one but I use it at home when I exercise on the elliptical. I'm such an airhead that I don't want to carry it back and forth because I would forget it and then not have it for exercise at home. Oh well ... I suppose my complaint is really minor. In the large scheme of things there are many more important things in life.
I am however grateful for ...
1. Steady employment with work I truly enjoy and am fairly good at!
2. Strong, hot coffee on a chilly morning!
3. my husband finally deciding he wanted me to accompany him tonight after much hemming and hawing about me not 'needing' to go with him ..
4. finally remembering to call and schedule an oil change for the car ... long overdue!!!
5. looking forward to a coffee date with a former colleague tomorrow morning!!
Practicing kindness this week has taken more focus than typical for me. Fortunately the funkiness I was feeling earlier in the week seems to be dissipating ... which I am very grateful for. It is harder to be kind to myself when I feel cranky and emotional!! Imagine that!! LOL!!
A special thanks goes out to ky8k's post of a special picture just for me!!! LOL!!! She is definitely my kind of girl!! Check it out on her journal today. Don't miss it Cathy, you'll love it too!!
To my buddies who say such kind and flattering things to me another special thanks goes out today. It continues to amaze me that others find comfort, encouragment, and so forth from reading my journal. What I write really is self-talk, my own personal therapy, an effective way for me to process and stay on track. I am touched that others relate and find it helpful.
With that let me end by encouraging you each to continue your journey and in the process practice kindness towards yourself. Particulary if you are struggling; be it stress, fluctuations on the scale, a perceived plateau, relationship struggles, financial woes, whatever!! Character is indeed measured in adversity. I know you are all CHARACTERS!!!! LOL!!! Have a good day ... take care!!
