REFLECTIONS: Well... clean slate Monday was a bit of a bust as the day/night went on. Little guy was sent home from school with high fever.  Late night he started complaining about pain in his right side... repeatedly... which lead us to questions appendicitis.... so off to the hospital, who decided their tests were inconclusive and transferred little dude (with me) to the Children's Hospital about an hour away.... All in all, he's fine.  No appendicitis.  Mild pneumonia!  So shocked.  My big goal right now is to keep him healthy and reboot is immune system.  

So needless to say, life happened with complete disregard to my plans!  Getting back on track sleep wise was quite challenging pulling an almost all nighter... but I managed today to get up at 6:00 a.m. despite wanting to stay in bed.  I plan on getting my workout in shortly and taking all my supplements with breakfast- things I committed to this week. 

Things I will do differently this week: Today I'll focus on healthy eating, 4 meals, protein intake

Create and follow a schedule- (update: I worked on it until I had to pick up little guy from school)

Be prepared for the day, before my family wakes up (update: hasn't happened yet) 

Take all of my supplements (update: doing well with this!) 

Focus on 4 meals, 100 grams of protein and lots of nutrition veggies (update:really not happening) 

Exercise daily (update: also no success as of yet) 

Do fun (hopefully free) activities with my daughter while my son is at school(update:again... as above) 

Get out and do 2 things for myself that are fulfilling spiritually and emotionally(update: 2 fun things on the calendar from Friday and Saturday!  Want to get out for yoga at some point this weekend) 

GRATITUDES:

-I am so very grateful that people are starting to have uncomfortable conversations so we can move forward in this country.
-I am so very grateful that this election has brought to surface all of the hidden prejeudices and stereotypes and biases because without them bobbing to surface we can't try to break them down.
-I am grateful for Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood- my kids are obsessed with it and the messages are so good AND I read and article that showed kids who watch DTN were more socially aware and kind to others.
-I am so very grateful that we may have free community college available to us- I cross my fingers- I'm already looking at courses I can take and certificates I can complete in 2017/18!  I know I'm jumping the gun but I really want to get my personal training certification and take some art classes!
