How I got Stronger this week: I exercised every day this week. I went to two body pumps classes. I stretched and rolled, too. I am also still on the Whole 30 and no caffeine. I helped and supported a few people this week and I was there for my kids and my sister’s kids, too. I did something I am pretty scared of at work and it’s going to take a lot of strength to get through it so I am both excited and scared. I showed up for my kids. I spent time taking care of myself and doing things I like and I also spent some quality time with my wonderful husband. I did a lot of shopping for both David and for myself, which is a miracle because I abhor shopping. Very proud of myself. I also went to the dentist and got a mani/pedi. Phew!
Top Goals Review: did the spreadsheets! presos not in cycle yet but will be soon. kept going with routine. semi-made plans for feb. still not feeling like making art and i will give myself a break. might have found a class for Nathaniel. spent a bunch of time with all my boys.
I celebrate: taking chances.
I am grateful for: a bit of shopping. being done with david’s trip shopping (mostly.) being given an opportunity. people who are all watching out for me and have my back.
Karen’s Points: I got full points everyday except for two where I didn’t floss. Though I’ve been pretty wishy washy on the self-care.
A Change I embraced: this week was all about embracing change.
I let go of: being able to get my way 100% of the time.
Core Desired Feelings Check-in:
- Fresh: i took some major fresh steps this week. not ready to share yet tho.
- Magical: This week’s magical moment is the kids’ conferences. oh and finishing calculus with david!
- Lighter: this week felt lighter too because the kids had no school on Friday.
- True: i’ve been trying really hard to speak my truth even though it’s scary. especially at work.
Where I chose Joy: i chose joy with both my kids this week where i said Yes! a lot more.
I showed up for: my friend, her son, my nephews, and my sons this week.
A Mistake I made this week: well i made some decisions this week that i am praying aren’t mistakes. other than that, nothing specific is jumping out at me. (besides my usual yelling and having to apologize daily.)
What I tolerated this week: a lot of unknown. stepping into the unknown. fear of letting others down.
My mood this week was: scared but excited.
I forgive myself for: possibly taking a step that might be harder on my family but something that felt too good to pass up.
What I love right now: i love how i feel so full. like my cup runs over. i am so incredibly grateful. i hope and pray that it sustains.
