The Jeans

Drum roll ...

THE jeans finally fit.  At least, they fit in the morning (cauliflower dinner later - probably not!!).  I was beginning to wonder if somehow they magically shrank in my closet.  I'm a couple of weeks away from wearing them.  I still need some wiggle room since BLOAT happens a lot for me and I could potentially bloat my way out of them eating an apple LOL!

I was perfect on the Whole30.  I've been far from perfect after Whole30.  Still -- progress.  Keep going, keep moving forward.  Learning how to live somewhere other than the extremes.  Black-white-gray.  I want to live in the middle.  Dang, it's so hard.  That's my work lately.  PHB should help (pretty please).

I have a list for my book post, but I've been totally lazy about starting it.  It's happening slowly, but it's happening.  Cleaning out my books got me all excited to talk about BOOKS.  I miss my bookclub.

No work on the closet yesterday.  The day was busy, I felt yucky, but I'm tackling shoes today.  I did a big Goodwill run yesterday - that felt cleansing LOL!  I'm almost finished and it looks (and feels) so much better already.

Today is MASSAGE day.  Sadly, my ankle is still wonky so maybe no massage for my left leg or maybe she can "work" it to help the healing ... as long as I still get my long, wonderful back massage!!

I have no plan for a workout which is unusual for me.  My ankle hurts and I need to rest it, but I still want to work out.  Yesterday was a power walk on the treadmill, dog-walk outside and arm lifting.  That doesn't leave much of a choice for today.  I need to think about it.  I feel better than I did yesterday, but still run-down feeling so intervals are probably the wrong choice for my ankle and my body.

The good news is my mood has lifted.  Ovulation finished?  Meditation/affirmations? Self Coaching 101 equations?  Take your pick, but I'm glad it's gone for now.

Our ladies gathering at the lake this weekend has been cancelled.  Weather, host is overwhelmed, some people couldn't come.  Bummer.  I was looking forward to doing something BETTER ... better experience, better connection.  It's been moved to a weeknight gathering around a kitchen island.  I'm exaggerating a little, but that's basically the night.  I said NO (politely with an excuse).  Not worth it.

I'm in the process of letting go of some of those experiences and some of those acquaintances to open up for BETTER experiences and BETTER connections.  It's hard to trust that I can let something go when there is nothing there to fill it ... YET.  Faith that the better experiences will come is a leap for me.  I'm believing in the process and having faith it will happen.  Maybe not on the timeline I want, but it WILL happen.

Later gators.
