So not as much concrete progress. I've thrown out maybe a trashbag's worth of stuff, and have another for give away. So much of what I want to do, I feel like I need to be alone in the house so I'm not having to work around someone else's needs/wants. Unfortunately, that just really hasn't worked out. And with Eric's surgery on Thursday and his 30 days at home recovery, it's just not looking good. I'm going to have to re-assess my expectations.
Still keeping up with the bible reading. Almost to the end of the Whole30 challenge. I will admit that I'm looking forward to a glass of wine when it's over. I've realized over the past year that I treat desserts and alcohol as a reward - "I've had a tough day at work, and I've earned this drink." That's a thought process that can lead to ruin. I know that if I had alcohol in the house, I'll drink it. If I decide I'm not buying any that day, I'm ok anyway.
Managed one day of yoga last week. Felt really, really good. Going to have to just demand the tv in the living room so I can do it more regularly.
