I let go of: schedule.

Core Desire Check-in (bold, mindful, nourish, love):

  • love: i love how much love is around me.

What made me laugh this week: i laughed a lot with my friend Leslie.

  • Two: Open: Open to the possibility that I can keep this going.
  • Three: Heal/Nourish: Actually journaling this week 🙂

I am looking forward to: feeling myself get stronger as I exercise. I know it will take 1-3 more months but I am still looking forward to it. [also at work i am looking forward to running a meeting i got the opportunity to run.]

This week’s challenges: staying on track.Nathaniel starts a class this week so just juggling that on top of my schedule.

Top Goals:

  • Work: q2 review. p. and closing emails. getting things rolling for q3.
  • Personal: exercise+food+journaling.
  • Family: math with each kid.

I will focus on my core desires (bold, mindful, nourish, love) by: remembering that i can do this!

This week, I will say yes to: showing up again and again. making it work!

This week, I will say no to: excuses of any kind.

I am worried that:  i won’t exercise. i’ll stop eating well. i will continue to be behind at work. i won’t be ready for the new cycle. all the work i did won’t matter. i won’t make time for me. i will be in so much pain  in my knees.  two trips to work. and just all my usual worries about life. i’m also praying hard for jake’s meeting this week.

This week, I want to remember:  that i am doing this one good decision at a time!
