So Far, So Good

All right, so I didn't roll out of bed until a quarter-to-eleven this morning-but I'm giving myself a pat on the back! I've showered (first time I've showered right after getting up in ages), I'm dressed and ready to leave for yoga (first time in nearly two weeks), and I've been doing a little bit better overall since my visit to the doc last week.

PAT ON BACK-check.

Baby steps is what it's all about! Wanda has been texting me to check up and is a supportive beacon for me. My fiance has been patient and willing to slow down and rest up with me or hop off the couch for a walk when I'm for it. Mom has been supportive, upbeat, and non-naggy (which anyone with a mom will appreciate) and I've even read a  just-for-fun book in the past two days.


Thanks to Wanda and my own thunkin' on the topic, "baby steps" has become a sort of mantra. Don't expect yourself to be better in one day, don't build up expectations then let yourself down and risk another relapse; just do what you can, when you can and embrace baby steps.

So I'm baby steppin' out to yoga class today and I'm going to try to consciously enjoy the sunshine for the first time in a long time :o)
