Keeping In Practice

A quick post just to say that I'm logging in and writing. 

Today was a quiet day, work was...well work.  I should be looking for a new job but I've applied for so many without getting a response that it doesn't really seem worth the time. I know, I know that doesn't mean I should stop looking. Right after I hit publish I'll go find something on Indeed to apply for at least. 

I made some yummy chicken with mushrooms and cauliflower mash for dinner. The recipe came from the blog I Breath I'm Hungry. I've been trying to stick to a low carb diet (my weight on surgery day was the heaviest I've ever been.) I started 2 weeks ago and I'm down 10lbs. I know low carb works for me but I always fall off the wagon usually because I get sick of eating the same things over and over. So finding a blog like I Breath I'm Hungry with tons of great recipes is sort of a life saver.  Just like 150 pounds to go, sigh. Of course diet can't do it all so this week I'm getting back on the treadmill. Just a mile a day to start, plus the walk I take every day with the dogs. It's not much but it should help. 

Ok, it's almost 10pm and I haven't walked or looked for a job on Indeed or showered. I need to do those things and then head to bed. 

Also, no worries, I am diligently working on a Whatever Wednesday post. I have ideas, I just haven't been in the right mood...but I will be by Wednesday :-)

Blogging as Therapy

It hit me recently that I blog like I would talk to my therapist. Some days I wish I still had one. She got tired of me and booted me out of therapy. Ok, not really,after 10 or so sessions she gently told me that I was ok. I had established boundaries and worked out some coping skills and didn't need a therapist anymore. I'm welcome back anytime.  I liked therapy, when I started I really thought I was losing my mind (long story, very long) having a 3rd party review all the evidence (mostly texts) and listen to me talk for an hour or so at a time then tell me I was NOT crazy was really helpful. I credit her with keeping P & I together. This blog is helping too. When I'm frustrated with life in general I come here and type away. So thank you all for reading. And for the couple comments I've gotten over the past month or so I really appreciate it. 😄 That said, I'm thinking of going back to my therapist for a few sessions. I need to figure out why I'm somehow

Hello Neglected Blog!

I'm sorry I've been gone for so long. Things have been weird since the election and I haven't felt like posting. I think I was in shock. I honestly didn't think this country was dumb enough to actually fall for the orange idiot, I was wrong. Very wrong. And it felt like I was punched in the gut. The only good thing to come of it is that women are finally banding together again. I wish I could have been at the march in Washington but work, money, etc. I was definitely there in spirit. Anyway, politics aside things have been going well in general. I still love P&H, I still need to lose weight, I still hate winter. I also still hate my job and haven't found another. What HAVE done is signed up for a postpartum doula class!!  I can't wait! I've already finished reading the required books, I have a list of questions for the instructors (just in case they don't answer them during class.) Does this mean I'll have a new career? Who knows but this is a

Hello, I Am a Podcast Addict

It hit me today that I listen to a lot of podcasts. Like,a lot of podcasts. All day really. I love pods. I learn lots, I'm entertained, sometimes I'm freaked out. I thought I'd share my top 10 and why I love them.  1. The Birth Hour Podcast -  So I think I've mentioned a few times before that I am going to start Doula classes next month (and if I haven't done that here, surprise!) This pod is all about letting women tell their birth and postpartum stories, the good, the fantastic, the terrible. I love everything about this pod and consider it part of my doula training. 2. Star Talk with Neil Degrasse Tyson - Do I really need to say more than that? this pod is fun and educational and Dr. Tyson interviews a surprising array of people. I learn something every time I listen.  3. Welcome to Nightvale - This was the first pod I ever listed to. I have no idea how to describe this one. Just listen if you like weird and slightly creepy storytelling.  4. Dearest Doula
