Day two and a piece of advice
Advice...that is something I give out to everyone because they are always asking. Who knew I’d be the wise old crone?
I have to take care of myself. Sounds so simple but it isn’t. Between working 12-18 hours a day, dealing with kids, helping my autistic son, having to take care of a house and husband, I have very little energy left for myself. But part of this getting back to me is taking care of me and finding what I like.
6 months ago, we started planning a trip to Vegas. Just the hubby and me. We haven’t had a vacation together since before the kids. We went to Chicago for Kid23′s Navy graduation, but that wasn’t a good trip. This is a whole 7 days off of both jobs, in Vegas, no kids. We leave on a Monday, get home Friday, take Saturday and go to the coast and pick up kids on Sunday. I like that. I’ve never taken a full week off of work before. NEVER!
So, with that now happening in 55 days, I have work on myself to do. Not just get my fat ass to the gym work, but mentally I need to prepare for 7 days of hubby. Straight. 7 fucking days of him in my face. Being on the introverted side, I will need to be able to run and hide for some quiet time. That is going to be a tad bit harder. But I will need it.
On today’s agenda, I have 2h41m left on my 17 hr fast. Then I have a gym workout, then work tonight. Going to the gym a little on the early side, so that I don’t run into a time crunch at the end of the day.
Today’s focus is not on losing weight or smiling or any of that crap. Today I will focus on remembering I am worth the time and I am worth the money. Because I am.
