DAY 182

What Kind of Day Did I Have & Why?

Today was a day of transformation.
I realized that these past 3-4 years have brought about a dramatic change in me...and my relationship.

Temperature:
High 44° / Low 32°

How Do I Feel? Health/Lupie Status?

All meds were taken, there were little to no aches and I was in a great space today. I'd say my pain was at about a 3.5 and I'm happy for the improvement over yesterday.

Workout Time & Duration?

We got in a nice long workout today and it was much needed after missing 2 days due to Thanksgiving! Week 3 - Day 4: Leg Day: Quads, Calves & Core Day was exactly what I needed to bounce back into my Sweatin' for the Destination Weddin' groove! It took about 2 hours to get my groove back, but it was well worth it! I'm ready for Week 3: Day 5 tomorrow!

Destination Wedding Task Tackled:

No specific task was tackled, but I was able to gain an answer to the over-arching question of "how am I going to stay healthy through these days leading up to the wedding day?". Lupus cannot be controlled, but it can be managed and as a Lupie Family we know that keeping my stress levels at a minimum is #1 - especially while planning our destination wedding. Losing my job brought up a lot of questions, but this one has haunted us (mainly me) for a couple of months...

I'm going to start my own business!

I now have an answer and should be able to sleep a little more soundly through the night - for at least another 181 nights!

Any Old Destination Wedding Tasks Making a Comeback?

Not today!

Loving Black Love Moment?

Today was the day for me and Che to have our financial check-in conversation and I presented my business plan to him too. This is a big deal since I have never been comfortable talking about finances. I just didn't grow up talking about it. It went amazingly well and I ended up more in love with him than before. Che has been extremely patient with me over the years and has gradually been able to let me know that I am in a safe place with him and look at us now! I actually got the fuzzies while talking about finances! His level of encouragement and compassion surprise me often and today was no different. Our love is incredible and I can't wait to see where it takes us throughout our lives together.
