So I was pretty good at the party last night. We had a lot of fun. I wish I had pics to post, but we didn't take any. I did eat a few bites here and there, and had a smidge of wine, but didn't do anything ridiculous. However, Chuck's friends stayed pretty late (it was weird, my friends all came early and left early; his all came late and left late :) so I didn't get enough sleep and woke up to a terrible day of TOM crankiness, exhaustion, confusion. After spending much of the day sleeping and otherwise expecting very little of myself, I am feeling much better. It feels good to take time to read all your journals and see how you are doing.
I am working on trying to eat less to keep losing at my new lower weight. Also trying to keep up the exercise! I want to find a lifestyle I can stick with. I am considering taking up strength training again but I am not ready to make that commitment again just yet, until/unless I am sure it is important for me. I did not exercise at all today really. I went out to the court to play basketball with Chuck, but I was totally uncoordinated and didn't want to get really discouraged and frustrated so I just sat on the court and enjoyed the cool breeze and watched my sweetie and counted his hoops to 101. It was nice. I wanted to go for a walk later but it got too dark too quickly and I didn't make it out there. I guess I could go now but safety and bugs would be a concern; it is after 10.
So in other news, I have decided to enroll in massage school part-time. Various changes have fallen into place that make this the right decision for me at this time. Since I only work part-time this should not be too overwhelming but I am sure it will pose challenges for my exercise level-- challenges that I know I will overcome. I was so inspired at the conference I went to a couple of weeks ago that I was led to make major decisions about my career path. I am going into natural healing rather than staying in the mental health system. The latter is not for me. I am done helping from within a system that I don't entirely agree with and it is time to do my own thing.
