Time to de -stress ......

Oh Boy thats would be stressful !

I live in AB but am getting married in my hometown in NB... Luckily my mom is there and one of my bridesmaids will be there 2 months before the wedding, otherwise planning would be even more stressful.

Hahaha not sure borrowing someone's dog would be the same Kat! Where are you flying to? Are you having a destination wedding?

I walk my dog... Walking by myself doesn't do it since I'm all up in my head... Watching my 70 lb dog prancing around like a poodle keeps me in the moment and out of my head... Just wish he could come home with me for the wedding but he is to big to fly (wouldn't put him through that anyway) and it's too long of a drive... Maybe I can borrow someones dog when I get there... Lol

Also I'm looking to workout again as a way to bring back the energy and to stay fit. I wanted to do this for a long time since 2014 but things got in the way. Hopefully I wil make more of an effort to follow through.

Wonderful, I never knew that !

Lol I love. There are apps out there use. There are also groups of people that will go out and interact with one another to colour.

its that time of the year... everyone is starting to get sick... fingers crossed i make it out this winter without too much sickness ... altho my kid brings home everything ... dirty little buggers lol

Kinda miss shopping to be honest ...

HAHA I was definitely evil laughing in my head!!

Oh agreed... I hate paying for something and not getting the full use, so I hate missing the classes too. But yesterday I was panting, coughing up a lung, and dying after a leisurely walk up the street at lunch

Gonna be amazing !!!

You're sick! I can imagine you sitting at your desk laughing....just twisted! But OK deal.

But you are only getting a free pass until that cough is clearing!

I like to have a bubble bath, with a candle and a good book! I also enjoy shopping! Or just sitting in bed with my kitties watching netflix!

I agree 150> looking forward to reading everyone's suggestions !!!

Worth the 8$!

Candles too? Love some bubbles and candles.....My Saturday night plan might be changing

DONE! And I want pictures to prove you went!!!! Though there needs to be some sort of punishment if you don't go... I need a power to wield.... WW bans!!!! No trampoline class, no WW on Wednesday! And if you skip the next week... 2 day ban!!! I'll be drunk with the power in no time

Also, I'll tell FH that you said I don't have to go LOL

Oh I will have to for sure ! Thanks and I am a White wine girl all the way .. red tends to give me a headache ... oh I am so looking forward to my tub date this weekend !!!

lmao ahahahahahahahaha I totally agree and am laughing so hard right now lol

Red? White? DON'T CARE- want all of it!

enjoy it! I love how my skin feels afterwards. The little sample set I like is by Lanegie by the way. Next trip to Sephora give that a shot!

Those people that are all "oh I love running/working out, I just feel so energized afterwards" They are liars!! Lie to yourself all you want, but don't try and pedal your crap on me... I'm not buying!!!!!!!

I have heard of the colouring books they look neat, i just think my son might want to take over lol

Please don't go to the gym sick! That will NOT help you get better!

I will- I'm going alone, I am trying to recruit a co-worker to come though....YOU can give me crap for not going! make me go on Tuesday!

Yeah working out makes me want to punch someone lol ... it is not a stress reliever for me at all .. seems more like a chore and stresses me out even more that i am not doing it as much as I should !

Get on that class!!! I wanna know all about it! Are you going to the class with someone? I found that helps to make me accountable. FH is giving me a hard time about missing the gym this week even though I've been crazy sick (I'm coughing constantly while sitting on the cough, I can't function on any gym equipment)

I thought it would be nice for us to all share our ideas on how we deal with it to help each other out! we are all here for each other and need to be able to lean on each other for advice and help when needed and this I think is an important topic!

Ha ha I LOVE WINE !!!!!!! I AM A WINEO !!!! i am going to start doing the bath and little spa days and home too thanks to your supermud suggestion i just picked up !

I have been the same lately, I find painting or staining very relaxing

Hi Natasha, for de-stress time I listen to music, will color in the adult colouring book or even watch a favorited show.

Well now, I don't just want to go sround hitting people. I'm not a barbarian! (although, it might offer stress relief!)

We are the same- I make to-do lists and get stressed while I run or lift...thats why I thought the trampline class would be great. STILL have manged to put it off for 2 weeks

This is a great therapy- isn't it!

HAHA all the wine!

And I'm with you... every time I'm in a bad mood and someone tries to convince me that working out helps, I want to find them after my workout and slap them. I definitely do not find it destressing at all, in fact it makes me focus on things more because my brain is bored and has nothing else to do

Believe it or not this app helps me alot! It's great to chat and bounce ideas off of people when my life is so crazy!! I try to meditate sometimes, and should do it more often! Actually in reading your post I really I should be doing all these things you suggest more often, and now I'm stressed thinking about it! HA HA Looking forward to reading others posts on this one!
