Working on myself

Ok, so what have I done this week to make myself feel a bit better?

I started drinking water. I'm not going crazy trying to get in 8 cups or anything because before this week I didn't even drink water that wasn't Crystal Light-ized. I just bought a cute stainless steel water bottle that holds 24 ounces, keep it by my desk, and try to drink from it. No pressure.

I've cut down on caffeine after lunch. Most days I didn't even have any after lunch. (I'm hoping this will help my sleeping.)

I went to bed by 11 (which is early for me) a few days too. So I was less grouchy.

I've gone running in my neighborhood, which is nice and more convenient than the gym.
I went out and bought a few new clothing items. That was hard. I wasn't loving myself in anything summer-y. Cotton summer shirts are so thin they cling to my every roll and bra line and look yucky and I don't look great in shorts. I need to move where it's cold all year long.

I also bought new underwear and socks. Not a lot of fun but a necessity, as most of mine are disintegrating. I'm going away with some girlfriends for the weekend and I don't want them to accidentally catch a glimpse of my current underwear and think I shoot bullets out of my butt when I fart.

Oh, and I got my eyebrows threaded.

I feel like I've pampered myself a little bit this week.

Baby steps.
