wow - those BOTH sound like a lot of fun. I'm starting to waver on the video thing - lots of people have said "you know, everything goes by so fast you might wish that you had a video of it."
We went to our Engaged Encounter thing y'day. It's the first of two saturdays. It wasn't bad but started to drag at about 11am. The couple who ran it was very nice. I didn't know what to expect - there were so many other couples there. Most of them were younger than us. Nearly of them were wearing jeans (not knowing what to expect, Mr. R and I showed up in work clothes - me in a skirt and he in slacks and a button down shirt). there was one other woman in a dress and one girl in what looked like her pajamas. It would be interesting if we hadn't already discussed nearly everything with BQ priest earlier this year. Because of that it's sort of boring.
The scale hasn't moved much this week, despite the fact that I've been taking Star for a walk or two a week. I need to go back to the gym and get my body moving. I just can't seem to find the motivation. I'm so tired. Work is so busy. I just need to relax.
I found when I'm walking Star if I think "Calm Assertive" she's much less likely to tug on the leash. I think I need to start implementing that in my work conversations. Think "Calm Assertive" and just picture what I want to get done.
I had a shrink several years ago who told me that I needed to "change the tapes" that ran through my mind. I need to change my tapes again. I need to project calm, assured, assertiveness. I need to feel like I am in charge of my life and my work (even though sometimes it feels like it is in charge of me).
Yesterday I walked the stairs in our building. I made it up to the 15th floor (of 22) and my thighs were killing me yesterday! Maybe I can make it to the gym today...hope so!
Back to work and wedding planning...xoxoxox
