I did it! I was able to get up around 10am, and with the help of my husband, get dressed and moved downstairs to the family room! He moved my computer and I moved my phone charger and I was set up down there for the day. I am so proud of myself! And I stayed down out of the bedroom until 10pm. Just after he left at 1130am, I ended up having an anxiety attack so I ran upstairs, took my anxiety pill, then returned downstairs to spend some time doing deep breathing techniques and petting Emma, our grey cat. The attack passed and I was able to continue with my letter to my nephew on the computer.
I spent the day pleasantly engaged in watching tv, playing on the computer and reading. Now when I say playing on the computer, I don't mean playing games or anything like that. I check my email and manage it, go on Facebook and read, do status updates and message my cousins. Then I peruse craigslist, my favorite place. The things you can find on there for free, are amazing! Right now I am looking for wood furniture to gather and refinish, only my truck is still in pieces, at least the engine is, and all I can do is look. But I keep my eyes out for good deals. I have a whole load of stuff in the garage that I need to list on craigslist! I have just never been one for playing games on the computer or on my phone. We had a Playstation 2 for a while and only used it to watch dvds.
I was able to continue eating my Cheerios with a teaspoon of sugar for breakfast and that sustains me until lunch. I ate a nice peanut butter and apple butter on wheat bread sandwich with some carrot chips. I was craving something sweet so I was drinking Kool Aid for the day. Dinner was a couple of slices of a bell pepper, black olive and pineapple pizza hubby brought home at 9pm. While I was waiting for hubby to get off work and pick up the pizza, I did eat 3 snack sized packages of m&ms. Bad, I know! I have to have him take the rest of the Halloween candy into work to get it out of the house before I am as big as a house! Stupid candy!
So I made my goal of moving out of the bedroom. This is not the first time I have done it but everyday will be a challenge but it will get easier! I am leaving the computer downstairs so I am not even tempted to linger in bed. Now I am going to try to add a goal of walking on the treadmill or walking the dogs everyday. Going out and doing errands also counts as exercise. That's what i have planned for Friday
