So I was pretty good at the party last night. We had a lot of fun. I wish I had pics to post, but we didn't take any. I did eat a few bites here and there, and had a smidge of wine, but didn't do anything ridiculous. However, Chuck's friends stayed pretty late (it was weird, my friends all came early and left early; his all came late and left late :) so I didn't get enough sleep and woke up to a terrible day of TOM crankiness, exhaustion, confusion. After spending much of the day sleeping and otherwise expecting very little of myself, I am feeling much better. It feels good to take time to read all your journals and see how you are doing.
I am working on trying to eat less to keep losing at my new lower weight. Also trying to keep up the exercise! I want to find a lifestyle I can stick with. I am considering taking up strength training again but I am not ready to make that commitment again just yet, until/unless I am sure it is important for me. I did not exercise at all today really. I went out to the court to play basketball with Chuck, but I was totally uncoordinated and didn't want to get really discouraged and frustrated so I just sat on the court and enjoyed the cool breeze and watched my sweetie and counted his hoops to 101. It was nice. I wanted to go for a walk later but it got too dark too quickly and I didn't make it out there. I guess I could go now but safety and bugs would be a concern; it is after 10.
So in other news, I have decided to enroll in massage school part-time. Various changes have fallen into place that make this the right decision for me at this time. Since I only work part-time this should not be too overwhelming but I am sure it will pose challenges for my exercise level-- challenges that I know I will overcome. I was so inspired at the conference I went to a couple of weeks ago that I was led to make major decisions about my career path. I am going into natural healing rather than staying in the mental health system. The latter is not for me. I am done helping from within a system that I don't entirely agree with and it is time to do my own thing.

Massage school sounds great! You will be getting some strength training in your hands, at least! It may seem that TOM was conspiring against you, but he gave you a nice rest - and sometimes we need that.
