Nourish Me – 46

Mind:

• I read: A bunch of articles but honestly none of them stick with me, and maybe that’s reason enough to stop reading? I can’t ever be sure what the right thing to do here is.
• I learned: I hope Calculus counts. A lot of my time has been going to the kids lately. Doing daily Calculus with David (and learning it all over myself) and doing Python with Nathaniel. I do want to pick up something new to learn but not sure what. I also signed up for another course with Karen Walrond because her courses always do right by me.
• I watched:  Jake and I watched most of Stranger Things 2 last night. Since last weekend was a 3-day weekend for the kids, I used the opportunity to catch up on a lot of TV, too. 

Body:

• Exercise: I exercised four times this week. On Friday the kids had no school and I had to go to teacher conferences so I had to miss my class. 
  • Monday: Body Pump
  • Tuesday: Body Pump
  • Wednesday: Pilates
  • Thursday: Yoga
• Food: Food’s still a bit all over the place. I am still feeling wiped and lazy and not feeling in the mood to cook which means I end up making bad choices for food to eat. And while I am still pretty tired and whiny, here’s the truth: thanksgiving is coming and then I will be in Australia for a week. It will be hard enough to eat well on the plane or when I am there and if I don’t buckle down and find a way to make this work now, it will be that much harder then so it’s time. I really don’t want to put it off longer.
• Body Care: This is another area where I’ve fallen off a lot. I think it will help me to think of this more (and not less) as we go into the darker months of the year. 

Soul:

• I rested: I slept better this week but not as well as when I eat well.
• I connected: I got to spend time with my friend Leslie and connected with my kids’ teachers. 
• I journaled: I did not journal a word this week! But I did sign up for Karen’s journaling class and I am optimistic it will help me!
• I made art: Worked on both DD and OLW! Woot!
• Flowers: still filling my life and home with these. 

Thinking that maybe the trick is not to go back to September but forward to some new normal.
