peaKnit How do you like intermittent fasting? It is interesting. (edited) 3y
Chrissyreadit @peaknit it has really worked well for me. I eat daily only between the hours of 8 am to 4 pm, and sometimes it‘s hard to eat enough food because I‘m not super hungry. But if for example I eat at 1:00 and I‘m full I have a soup packet (about 50 calories in hot water) I also have diabetes so my sugar can crash- and I eat a handful of berries or an apple even if it‘s 2am. But I‘ve lost 40 pounds with minimal effort. Feel free to chat anytime ! 3y

ElizaMarie 💐Self Care: I had a huge amazing experience in the Float Spa!!! I will definitely do this again and again and again! 💐Girls Night: I went out with a couple of my coworkers, drank, caught up, all of that!

So far: So even though I didn't post a bingo this month, I really wanted to make sure I incorporate self-care into my day-to-day. #SelfCareBingo
#SelfCareIsNotSelfish

Adult/Plan: Starting using my new 2022 planner (it's a school one so it started in August) but.. it helps me feel more organized/centered and all that ⬇ ⬇

ElizaMarie 🌿 New Place/Celebrate accomplishments: I sent to a Scottish pub and had a flight (like super Scottish with accents and everything!) 🌿 Bought myself a gift: Went to the Gallery Walk and bought myself a new nose ring (made in India) 🌿 Guilty Pleasure: Treated myself to some Hot Cheetos with squeezed lime :) yum!!! 🌿

I am just being really burned out lately. School is taking a lot more out of me than I had anticipated. That and I have some emotional/personal/health things going on that have thrown me for a loop (I am “okay“ in the broad sense of things)...

So I know more self-care is really what would be best but... I feel I might retreat and If I make a bingo ... I might just feel “bad“ that I didn't try to complete it

#SelfCareBingo #SelfCareIsNotSelfish

DaveGreen7777 Sorry your burnt out right now. 😔 Hope you feel much better soon! 3y
ShyBookOwl I know the feeling. Maybe one of your self care bingo squares can be "take it easy on yourself" and u can save it until the very end, so even if u don't "finish," u can x that one off by not beating yourself up about it ? 3y
ShyBookOwl (Also note that I don't exactly know what the self care bingo rules are, but I hope the spirit of my above msg helps even if it wouldn't technically work lol) 3y

alisiakae Saying no to making a bingo sheet for august is fulfilling part of your July bingo sheet. I can relate to how you are felling right now 💞, hang in there! 3y
alisiakae @ShyBookOwl @ElizaMarie is the one that creates the monthly bingo sheets, what I think she means is that she needs to take a break from hosting the monthly #selfcarebingo challenge. ☺️ 3y
ShyBookOwl @4thhouseontheleft ohhhh! Well then by all means, yes! Take that break. 3y
TheAromaofBooks Sometimes you just need some time to get things sorted!! Hopefully you are able to find some balance soon. ❤ 3y
OriginalCyn620 By all means, take a break if you feel that‘s best. You gotta take care of you first and foremost! Hope the break is just what you need to recharge and regroup! 💕 3y
ElizaMarie @DaveGreen7777 Thanks. I am just in a place that I am not going to plan for anything and just try to work on making sure I have moments that make me happy. 3y
ElizaMarie @ShyBookOwl -- Awe thanks! I just couldn't think of anything that I could fill a bingo on. But I do plan on posting things that make me happy every week or so... To see if that is helpful in showing gratitude! 3y
ElizaMarie @ShyBookOwl Ha! There are no real rules. I had been posting a “self-care“ bingo every month in hopes to help others (and myself) engage in self-care. Sometimes I do better when there is a little “competition“ element in it or some “structure“ so that's why I had created it. I didn't find it in me today to “create“ one but that doesn't mean I don't plan on engaging in self-care. 3y
ElizaMarie @4thhouseontheleft YES!! Exactly! I had one that said, “say no!“. I am doing good overall, just so much on my plate right now. 3y
ElizaMarie @4thhouseontheleft @ShyBookOwl exactly what I meant :) 3y
ElizaMarie @TheAromaofBooks I just have so much “planning“ to do this month that I am opting out of anything extra in the planning stages. Also going to take a break from #BookSpinBingo -- I think I had initially mentioned I was participating but.. I am just gonna focus on finishing some of the books I have going right now. (ha I say that but you know I am going to mood read) 3y
ElizaMarie @OriginalCyn620 Thanks! I do plan on engaging in self-care... just no Bingo this month. Thank you for your kindness :) 3y
TheAromaofBooks That's totally fair!! Frequently, making all the decisions is way harder than actually implementing the plan!! Good luck!! 3y
ElizaMarie @TheAromaofBooks Ha, yes! My brain is shot for decisions 3y

ElizaMarie @OriginalCyn620 and @Cheshirecat913 - I have always wanted a hammock, I moved from south Texas and rarely (heat-wise) felt comfortable to lay around outside. Here (VT) it's perfect! If anything is a little chilly but I have my space heater JuJuB who insists on laying with me. 3y

ElizaMarie @OriginalCyn620 So I used the excuse of going back to school to get an iMac. I got a pink one and upgraded the memory and storage space. Unfortunately, it wasn't available for pick up at the store, so I have to wait almost a month to get it... But I am super excited! 3y

🐞Random Act of Kindness: Paid for the McDonald's for the car behind me (it was a bit steep $wise so I think it was a whole family meal) 🐞Do Something To Feel Pretty : Got a new necklace (black lava) and I love it!!! 🐞Off Social Media / Unplug: Have been really good about not mindlessly scrolling 🐞Bath: Bubbles! Bath Tea 🐞Check Off To-Do List: Set up a new patient appointment (I haven't been taking care of myself) ⬇

OriginalCyn620 So awesome! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 4y
Crazeedi I love your kindness ❤ 4y
Cheshirecat913 Yay for relaxing! That was nice of you for paying at McD's. 4y
ElizaMarie @Cheshirecat913 You know how people say that people do kind acts / charity to make themselves feel better? Well this was exactly that! I don't do drive-ins frequently, I feel guilty having food at home and stopping to pick something up... But this (paying for someone else) made me feel 100% less guilty! 4y

As always if anyone has suggestions I can add them to the next month :) 4y

April's #SelfCareBingo Results. I feel like I had more completed but... I didn't document / remember what I did and didn't do. I am going to try harder in May to be more frequent with my updates.

Been late posting these because .. so so busy..

Adulting : I set up a goal for this coming week, I went to my eye doc appointment 🌸Binge a Show: Been rewatching Doctor Who and Rick and Morty 🌸Flowers: (not pictured) but got more tulips that I love! 🌸Say No: said yes to OT (I know I know) but said no to more OT, which would have put me at 5 days in a row which I can't really do ⬇

ElizaMarie 🌸Cuddle: With the pups after I dropped off hubby, lots of hubby cuddle time this past week 🌸Special Meal: the going away meal at Skyline (prime rib for him, eggplant parmesan for me and some banana thing!) 🌸Spring Clean: put all my winter clothes away (and some of the blankets) 🌸Organize Something: cleaned/organized the fridge when I got home :)

jb72 I‘m skipping adulting. There will be no adulting in April. I‘ve done enough adulting for the year as a matter of fact. 4y
ElizaMarie @jb72 counts as the “say no” prompt! You said no to adulting!!! 4y
Crazeedi @jb72 that's a really good idea!! 4y
jb72 @ElizaMarie oh yes!! It does! Good call! 4y
jb72 @Crazeedi I think so 😉 4y

Crazeedi Thank you Eliza, I dont feel so alone!! No bingo for me either 4y
ElizaMarie @Crazeedi I feel like I rarely get a bingo actually. But I try to pick things that are relaxing or self care for others too. I am having a hard time coming up with prompts today though :( 4y

OriginalCyn620 Any self care is an accomplishment! 😊💕 4y
ElizaMarie @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Awe thanks! I am trying really hard to make 2021 a year about me :) I mean it helps that I just bought a house and have to do a bunch of house things first .. which becomes things bout “me and my husband“ :) 4y
ElizaMarie @OriginalCyn620 Awe thanks! I keep trying to tell myself that, even if its one day of self care its so so worth it! 4y

EdnaC What is self care bingo? I love the sound of that. :) 4y
OriginalCyn620 Awesome start to the month! 💕 4y
ElizaMarie @EdnaC I just put a couple of “self care“ items into a bingo format and encourage peers to try to do things that take care of themselves. I encourage people to do whatever works for them. I leave a blank form and do multiple times each item. I will tag to you to March bingo so you can see it. 4y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @jb72 have you seen the “dammit dolls?” I really need one some days 🤣🤣 especially driving !! 4y
jb72 @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks 😂 no I haven‘t seen those. I will look them up. I fully understand what you mean about needing one while driving. 🙄 as a matter of fact some driver (and I use that term loosely) tried to beat my SO semi yesterday. That guy‘s truck is totaled now. 4y
ElizaMarie @Crazeedi Yay good luck !!! 4y
ElizaMarie @jb72 keep us posted on your healing. I am going to try to be better at being “present“ this month. I had retreated into myself a lot this month and I should reach out better to the people around me (so I am gonna be checking on you)... and throat punch is a go :) 4y
