List 3 things for this week....
Okay, yesterday, Meg asked what we had done for ourselves recently...I suggested that we take it a little further and do something similar daily. So, I'll start todays....list 3 things you'll do this week for YOU.... (I've been attending Weight Watchers and one of the leaders stated that if you verbally or written, listed goals for yourself that others can see, it makes you more accountable...so I figure we can try it!
1. Run 4 miles this week (It's Wednesday and I haven't run even one!!!!)
2. Take a nice long relaxing hot bath at least once.
3. clean my bedroom (which at the moment is Filthy and has dirty clothes in it, but due to my washer not working, I haven't had a chance to wash them!)
Okay, let's see the lists!

My 3 things? Hmmmmm. Let's see
1. Go to the pet store and play with the puppies
2. Get up 30 min earlier and take a walk. Time to quit procrastinating, I KNOW I will feel so much better once I get started!
3. This is harder than I thought., I guess I need to spend a bit more time doing something nice for ME. I can't think of anything else right now!!!
HUGS. Great thread

OK.... Lets see,
1. walk my son to school, instead of driving him.
2. Finish painting the cabinets.
3. Buy a great magazine, just perfect for a hot soak in the bath
AND the things I WON'T do, just for me...
4. DON'T let HIS mood get ME down.
5. STOP guessing what people are thinking.
6. STOP being afraid of just being me.

Okay, my turn...
3 things I will do for ME
1. Finish packing and get ready to move.
2. Have dinner with a girlfriend and just laugh and have fun
3. Call my brother and invite him for Thanksgiving...(Canadian Thanksgiving is in October).
That should keep me busy enough to not have to worry about the "not do" list LOL.

Three things I will do:
1) Spend at least an hour of quality time each day with my 10 year old daughter -- and really listen to her.
2) Visit with my best girlfriend for the weekend and not talk about problems or my AH at all.
3) Buy myself some clothes and shoes for fall.
Three things I won't do.
1) Think about what my AH is doing when I'm away with my girlfriend and daughter.
2) Let my AH make me feel bad for going away without him.
3) Care what other people think about how I am handling my life and my AH.

Week is almost over...how did I do?
This is what I wanted to do for me this week:
1) read a good book - ok, got started on a book...I guess that counts as something.
2) get my hair done (cover all that gray) - Did this. All the gray is gone...took years off my looks Glad I did it.
3) go hiking with my dog - Went for long walks with my dog. Had a wonderful time.
This was a great Idea. I must make a new list for next week.
