Stress Relief

Stuart, my husband, had some sort of revelation yesterday and wants to go on a health kick. Maybe I partially inspired him? I'll tell myself that. Anyway, getting healthy and exercising is so much easier when you have support. He's asked me to stop offering him food at night. And he's vowing to make himself healthy food at work (he is a chef so this is easy for him) and not eat past 7pm. And to jog every morning on the treadmill. Which sounds a lot better than his last diet plan which revolved around replacing beer with gin.

I've had some difficult personal stuff happen this week and I really feel like I'm handling it way better than usual. I'm always able to function of course and externally I'm fine, but usually tend to have a lot of internal and mental anguish and side effects when things get tough (like insomnia, headaches, etc) but I feel really put together and better equipped this week with everything. Which obviously is a good thing.
