My blogging has gotten confusing for me... I forget what I have posted where.
On the 24th of April I joined Weight Watchers. I mentioned earlier that I hesitated to say 'joined' but it is going on my 4th week now and I have stuck with it, practiced while on vacation and am seeing results so I am towing the line. I have lost 5.8 lbs so far and am very excited!
This seems to be going hand in hand with another new venture of mine. I am taking volunteer training with the Mid Valley Women's Crisis center. I am surprised at the monumental leap I have made to put Jennifer first. It feels great and I am reaping the rewards in other aspects of my life too.
Yesterday was the one, and thankfully only, all day session in my training. We spent the entire day talking about so much! They told us on Thursday to make sure and plan on taking care of ourselves when the day was done. They were not talking lightly.
After training I went out for a drink, a bite, and a smoke. I thought I would then take in a film but was never able to get a hold of movie times. I decided I would take a few minutes to meditate and then just drive to a theater. I found myself slipping off into sleep after about 10 minutes so I decided to take a nap. I awoke 4 hours later. I headed over to Scott's and watched TV and talked with him. I could have stayed up all night at that point (my napped ended at 10pm) but I made myself go to bed around 3 so I could make my WW meeting. I was plagued all night by nightmares. I awoke several times with a start surprised to find my son and my partner in bed with me. I believe all of these nightmares stemmed from an exercise we did on loss. It was horribly moving.
