What will you do today ..........

to make your life/situation better? I was thinking about this while I walked on the treadmill this morning. I've been in a real depression/funk this winter. My health hasn't been good and the finances are a mess and I've spent alot of time in bed feeling sorry for myself. But since I've gotten up and got on that treadmill and have been watching what I eat I feel SO much better!

Today I will do the following things to make my life/situation better...

Walk on treadmill and eat healthy DONE!

Sit down and create a plan for myself for getting my house totally cleaned up before I go back to work. Baby steps will be the key!

This is the hard one right now....

My dh has been a total butt lately. I don't know if he's having a mid-life crisis or suffering from winter blues or has just decided to act like a two year old because I need ONE more thing to worry about LOL. He's normally a great guy, kind, helpful, etc. But lately, not so much. He just sits on his fat butt watching tv and ignoring me. It's sad to say but I've reached a point where I love him to pieces but I just don't like him very much right now. After a big blowup this weekend where he just could NOT imagine what he might have done wrong I decided to just give him a dose of his own medicine. I decided to ignore him completely unless I have to speak to him about the kids or something else important. I won't pack his lunch, I won't fix his plate and take it to him at dinner, etc.

But today I've decided that I don't want to be that kind of person or wife. Yes it hurts me when he treats the way he has been lately, but I can't change what he does. I can however change the way I react to it. So starting this evening I will go back to being the loving, reliable, happy homemaker I've always been. He can do what he wants but I won't stoop to that level and be ugly.

Hopefully he will snap out of it before I have to beat him with a stick!

Today I spent 15 minutes on the elipitical (sp) trainer. I just got it on Friday and that is about as long as I can go as my legs start to feel like jello. I also got a weighted hulahoop, I managed to keep that going for 45 minutes. My stomach is now sore and I am surprised it isn't black and blue. Other than that I am sitting her considering dropping out of this semesters classes. I was diagnosed as being diabetic last month, and have found that I am really struggling with the school work since then. My heart just isn't into spending hours doing research for 3 papers that are due within the next 4 weeks. I want the time to spend researching and educating myself on diabetes, getting my blood sugar undercontrol, without the added stress of homework. The frugal side of me gets caught up in how I would be wasting money if I don't finish the semester. But then part of me is wondering what good are the credits if my health only goes downhill. In the past month all my fasting glucose readings have been over 160, most of them have been about 220. I need this under control before I end up with other health issues.

Good attitude to take! Just try to remember that sometimes we all just get in a funk. Hopefully it won't last long, and maybe your good attitude will help him out of his funk. DH and I go through this too. While we love each other to pieces...we have our moments where we just get fed up with each other's attitudes...and we just have to get through those moments, and we always do!

Good post for me to read today! I've been sick and eating crap and not working out. I still can't work out, due to not being able to breath through my nose still...but I can stop eating all the comfort foods and try to get my eating back on track!

So that is my main goal for the day, is to keep my eating in check!
