Hey Blendies! I’ve got a lot on our agenda, so bear with me. I’ll get usuals done first!
1) Our ghosting schedule
June 27th & 28th: Karen
July 4th & 5th: Lea
July 11th & 12th: Karen
July 18th & n9th: Cynthia
If you’d like to “ghost” (guest host) on an upcoming weekend, just let Inge or me know and we’ll get you scheduled!
2) Workouts! What’ll it be today? I moved the scheduled LB workout for Simply Strong to tomorrow, because yesterday I got another friggin’ migraine (I’ve had about a week of poor sleep, so I think that - plus intense kickboxing the night before - is the culprit). Hopefully I can go for a walk today. What will you be doing?
3) Food? You all know what we eat on Thursdays, so forget about my my menu and tell me about yours!
4) NSV, that doesn’t quite feel victorious just yet. I’m done weaning off of my anti-anxiety meds! It’s taken about five months, and while I’m happy to be off of them, honestly, I’m scared the anxiety will come back. Also, I kinda feel like crap, hence not feeling victorious just yet. There’s so much going on in my body as my brain adjusts to not having synthetic serotonin. I think that’s the reason I’m not sleeping well/I’m generally fatigued/more frequent migraines/vision changes, plus several other symptoms. I have hope that it will get better, and I’m learning to enjoy life and show up even when I don’t feel so great, but it’s hard, and often frustrating. But yesterday a friend told me I was brave, and that even if anxiety returned and I needed medication again, all of this hard work was still worthwhile and a victory because it showed me what I was made of. So that’s how I’m choosing to look at it. And if I hadn’t given up sugar for June, I would have made a cake to celebrate! 😆
Daily Check-in ANG: Thursday, June 25th
