How I got Stronger this week: This was a good week for exercise and a mostly good week for eating healthier. I got a medium amount of work done but I wasn’t as productive as i would have liked. Mentally I am still not in the best place which is definitely having an effect on my ability to want to be stronger or show up in a way I’d like. I wish there was a way to snap out of it so that I could just do that.
Top Goals Review: i got the sessions somewhat organized, i didn’t really focus on allyship but i did catch up a bit. I exercised daily and ate reasonably well, i did more self care than usual and slept well. i didn’t focus on summer plans much so i will have to do that either next week or after the trip.
I celebrate: I celebrate first week of summer with my boys.
I am grateful for: the gym at work. it’s been helping me take chances and try new classes, i am really grateful for that.
Karen’s Points: I exercised each week day, Monday I did both some cardio (running, rowing, stairs) and then took a body shred class which nearly killed me, Tuesday and Wednesday I did Body Pump (and a bit of elliptical on Wednesday), Thursday I did a HIIT class which also nearly killed me. Friday I did Body Pump again. My breakfast and lunches were mostly healthy and focused on nutrition. Dinner is a bit more challenging still.
A Change I embraced: transitioning to summer involved driving nathaniel back and forth a lot this week, it’s been challenging, but also wonderful to see how much he’s enjoying himself.
I let go of: being able to get everything I had in mind done.
Core Desired Feelings Check-in:
- Fresh: the two classes were fresh and showed me that i can do them (even if they nearly kill me)
- Magical: seeing nathaniel’s camp has been very magical
- Lighter: not feeling very light lately, life is well but my head is really not well
- True: truth is that i am still struggling more than I would like
Where I chose Joy: i spent several days working at home in my back year this week and it was wonderful
I showed up for: nathaniel this week and jake since they left early
A Mistake I made this week: some major procrastination this week which wasn’t great
What I tolerated this week: a lot of blah.
My mood this week was: distracted.
I forgive myself for: being where i am, i am a work in progress.
What I love right now: that i am about to see my nephews so very soon.
