Random thoughts

What a week!! The surgery went well, they were able to do everything and I don't have to go back except for a check up in 4 months. Of course, now I'll have to get crowns, but that can wait until the next insurance round or two, Thank God!!
I got really tired of the pain meds and think I learned that if I need them again I'll switch to tylenol sooner. It made me feel really antsy and sometimes kind of skin crawly.
I went back to work today. No, I didn't really need to stay home yesterday, but I have so much vacaiton time on the books I'm going to lose it if I don't take it before the end of the year. I would like staying home more if I could get something done here, but that is not in the cards right now so I'm back at work trying to sort out everything that went on while I was gone for a week.
Rehersal last night and today went well, so I am looking forward to our recital and our concert. I am always so impressed by the people I sing with, they are so talented, and seem to learn things so easily. They certainly bring me to a level I never thought I could achieve.

So, watching my regular post choir Tuesday TV show and the statement just made was "Feel the fear, and do it anyway". That's what I used to tell poeple in my public speaking classes, and other groups I facilitated. That and, "The worst thing that can happen is you will screw up, and you will at some time screw up royally, but you won't die". Or, "There is nothing you can do that can't be done...". The little trick phrases we use to encourage ourselves and others.
Maybe it's time to reinsert that into my daily self talk. It worked really well the first year I did Weight Watchers, but this last year and a half has just been a holding pattern. I need to re-tool/re-boot/get it in gear.
A lot of weight loss has been about feeling fear and getting to the roots of unhappiness. Obviously I haven't got there yet, and I have been letting the frustration with that contribute to getting in the way of progress.
I didn't work out for a week after my surgery, partly because I didn't feel well and partly because youngest child was camped out in my work out room. I rode my bike for 4 miles this morning and did an almost full complement of stretching and the light lifting that I do, and it felt good! Starting tomorrow I'm adding another workout session into my day somewhere.
