Fickle - Vacation?! Alright, Im jealous. FUN! And I always make my own birthday plans. All that stuff means too much to me to let my husband do it.
ophelia - Hi, thanks!
lunar - Oh man, I sooo have a tough time keeping those kind of things from interfering in my workout plans. GOOD for you for making it happen even when the universe is throwing distractions at ya.
MadCow - HI! Looks like you might be my twin
Pink - Oh, morning workouts are the best. Its great to know that you got it in - nice job!
Angi - I've got domestic drama with my manfolk too, so I can feel ya on that one.
For me, its just me being in a crappy (but temporary) spot and getting cranky with not getting help from him. He thinks he is being super supportive, which he is, just not in the flavor that actually HELPS me. Meh. I'm in counseling myself - mostly just learning to manage my ADHD, and I find it really helpful when there is manfolk drama to help get perspective alone. I agree with you, I cannot IMAGINE going to a counselor with the idea that "we absolutely will not discuss A, B & C. Seems silly for sure. Maybe you can backdoor it? Like, go in with him to a cognitive behavior therapist and stick to action items that aren't working for you. If they are connected to A, B & C - the therapist will key right in on that and say, "okay, whats going on with that?" Then leave it to husband to decide how he is going to manage resolving action item without bringing up A, B & C? And awww... heffalump.
I'm dealing with a fair amount of stress. We are preparing to move in 4 months, 3,200 miles to Seattle. *le sigh* I have been seeing a nutritionalist who is treating my "maybe" PCOS with a eating plan geared to very stable blood sugar. I think it has helped me get over my one month weight loss stall and it has certainly helped me avoid crabbiness in between meals. Those Diva Sni.ckers commercials? Totally me. So far I've lost 42lbs with diet alone. I KNOW I need to incorporate some exercise, just can't quite get my head in the game with all this other moving drama swirling around.
