iatetheyeti: from the ashes

Day Six Week Five

Stress is definitely getting to me more than I'd like. That and a severe lack of sleep. Had a bit of a fight with the Overlord today and it took an enormous amount of restraint to just walk away from it. Not ideal. But on the plus side I had a brief talk with Potential Housemate and we've got a budget sorted out, so that's progress.

 

food - Actually did ok with this today. Prepped meals eaten at work and 2.5l consumed.

fitness - Nothing other than work stuff.

Wellbeing - I had a conversation. It lasted all of five minutes, it was about nothing in particular, and yet it sustained me for a good portion of the day.

 

I am exhausted. I am also not surprised about this. Next day off is Thursday, so I'm about to get a whole lot more exhausted. Tomorrow, however, should be a little easier. It's a closing shift (I'm ignoring the fact that it backs onto an open), I've been promised a giant turkey roast (and turkey fajitas on Monday, and turkey curry on Tuesday, because our Canteen Mother has a whole lot of turkey to use), and I'm going to attempt some yoga before I go in. I'm not going to push myself to finish a full session if that's not where I'm at, but I'm going to try. Plus, knowing that I won't have the energy to do an actual workout, I will be fitting in sets of push-ups throughout my day.

And there we have it.

 

This challenge has been surprising for me. I managed to carry a great deal of success when I didn't expect to, and though I had two very unpleasant and unexpected surprises to deal with, deal with them I did. Admittedly the latter is still a work in progress, but it's only been a few days since I was told my current home was being sold and in those few days I've managed to find someone to live with and submitted viewing requests for three different properties (and have my back up plan sorted, in case the worst does happen). Both my eating and exercise habits have solidified, I'm listening to my body more, I'm taking greater care to handle my emotional boundaries and myself in general, and though things are far from perfect and far from where I want to be, for the first time in a long time I'm confident I can keep going, that I can keep making progress.

 

And as such I'm going to try very hard to finish re-writing my next challenge so I can get it posted tonight. The accountability this place offers is invaluable, and now more than ever I'm in dire need of just that. So I will continue on without pause and keep building on what I've got.

Well done on this challenge. I'm so happy for you that you were able to do so well especially in light of the extra challenges.

 

Thanks Tank. Honestly, I'm not sure I would have if not for the support I got from you wonderful people here :)

I second Tank, you've done a great job of keeping it together through stressful times. You are still eating well, doing yoga and taking care of yourself. Plus you have a plan and a back-up plan for finding a new living space. That is a major win. You are dealing with conflict and stress in healthy ways. Excellent progress!

 

It's a far cry from where I was even a couple of months ago, or so it feels, and I'm determined to keep it going for as long as I can.
