Hi and welcome! New here? You might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic and other healthy fun ideas.

I knew I loved you when you would only share your cake with me.

I knew I loved you when staying up all night talking about nothing and loving everything.

I knew I loved you when you twiddled your thumbs while asking me “how to ask a girl out.”

I knew I loved you when we watched Food Network together even though it made you VERY hungry.

I knew I loved you when you trained to run a 5K to spend time with me and continue to do so.

I knew I love you when you said te amo the first time you said I love you.

I knew I loved you when my pizza loving man called his healthy eating girl to say he ate broccoli with dinner.

I knew I loved you when I saw your smile light up while walking down the aisle.

I KNOW I love you as you care for me through what seems like more sickness than health…

I KNOW I will continue to love me for all the silly and serious reasons that make me love you more each day.

Happy Anniversary Hunni!

Instead of burying my head under the covers like I want, I need to move forward…it may be step-by-step but forward none the less.

Self-care. When depression takes over I stop taking care of myself. I will be intentional about simple things and work toward the bigger things.
Wear real clothes. Pajamas and sweatpants have become a staple of my wardrobe when I want to hide. Hunni dragged me out and bought clothes that fit instead of feeling horrible about the clothes that don’t. They are hidden away until I need them again.
Get off the couch. When I’m not laying in bed, I’ve been spending hours on the couch watching YouTube and re-runs. I need to enjoy things like a ride on my bike or reading my book on the porch. I need to do something besides leave my butt glued to the couch.
Sleep regular hours. I don’t sleep well and have medication to help…but I hate the extra pills. However staying up until 2am panicking or flopping around makes waking up for work even more difficult.
Schedule. It one of the few things I can can control. I enjoy the structure and predictability. I’m going to make my schedule but also be willing to say NO in order to stay sane.
Workout. Lately my workouts have been only what is required for Physical Therapy and rehabbing my ankle. However the endorphins from activity ease my depression so I need to enjoy more movement.

To keep with my schedule I’m going to review last week’s goals as well.

Post canning list. Done…and I’ve started working on it this weekend. You can check out my canning list too.
Easy breezy meals. Traveling is fun normally…but I’m sort of tired of it. Let’s just say traveling 3 times this week for work meant eating out AGAIN. Hunni and I made a pledge to not eat out except for work situations so this week was okay.
Make me pretty. My haircut was scheduled and then cancelled due to work. It’s rescheduled for next week and I am determined to get that pedicure too.
Buy comfy summer clothes. After staring into my drawers for 3 weeks and alternating the same three outfits Hunni dragged me shopping. I bought some capris to go with the few shirts I had and a few shirts. I also bought some workout clothes I feel good in instead of like a stuffed sausage.
Vacation planning. I’ve been planning a few things but realizing I didn’t want to plan…so instead I’ve made a list of things I want to do instead of planning each day.

I Knew I Loved You
