gilliansings's Journal, 14 July 2014

Nice. I credit finally going back to my previously successful strategy of having at least two days a week in the 1100s, with the remaining days being 1300-1500.

I had a nice day at the lake with all three of my children and my grandsons on Saturday. I got a lot of exercise, which was a nice bonus.

Yesterday I did nothing but housework and sewing/crafting. A good friend is having a late-in-life baby (her first) and I bought fabric for a blanket and burp clothes. I finished them all yesterday.

Yay for learning to say "NO!" It took three separate conversations to decline those additional shifts this week, lol. I guess it's not enough to learn to say "NO" - you have to learn to say it repeatedly!

We had thunder and lightning yesterday, which made for a respite from the heat. This whole week is supposed to be in the high-90s. Not my scene, lol. I'll be hiding inside with the A/C.

Have a great week, everyone!

Good for you! Learning what works for you vis-a-vis food as well as what works for your internal nurturing! In my experience, when people are not accustomed to me doing something, they feel like they need to test my boundaries/resolve. So, the patient repetition of the new behavior reinforces it for all parties. Yes, I meant to say "no". No, I won't change my mind. For the future, my answer will be my answer because I know what's good for me...and that is ultimately good for those around me.

Sweet Ce, you are SOOOO right. Yes, I meant to say, "no." That's hysterical. So obvious, but sometimes you just have to state it again and again. Thanks Deb.
