How I got Stronger this week: This was a long week, I worked a lot and had really long days, sleepless nights, and a lot of headache. Despite all that, I managed to work out Monday, Tuesday and Friday this week. Not as much as I would have liked but still not nothing. I also showed up again and again in all the areas at work and at home as my best self as often as I could. I am calling it a best effort week as opposed to a really good week.
Top Goals Review:
- Work: october getting close to being done, planning officially started, december not really getting anywhere yet.
- Personal: only ran once this week and for 20 mins. I did 2 body pumps. nurtition was so so and I really didn’t do much of anything else.
- Family: i did not cook for jake :/, i did help kids with school+routine, we started to figure out plans for the rest of 2018 and some of 2019.
I celebrate: getting the planning process out the door.
I am grateful for: my husband whose kindness is just unparalleled.
Karen’s Points: 2 body pumps, one run this week. reasonable with nutrition but not perfect. it was ok.
A Change I embraced: a lot of work. just so much repetitive work. long, difficult nights of not a lot of sleep.
I let go of: trying to do it all at once and focused on what was a must-do
Core Desired Feelings Check-in:
- Fresh: all this experience around the october event is fresh for me.
- Magical: getting to do a bit of art was magical.
- Lighter: i feel lighter during the weekends. is that fair?

A Mistake I made this week: i had a meeting that went really poorly, i sent an apology letter but heard nothing back :/
What I tolerated this week: lack of sleep.
My mood this week was: worn out.
I forgive myself for: snapping a bunch this week. i don’t do well when we talk in circles.
