REFLECTIONS: Garbagey garbage describes my health this Fall. Just garbagey garbage. Bleh. I'm sick AGAIN. Started with a sore throat last Friday and today I woke up with bilateral conjunctivitis- for those who don't know what that is- it's gooky, crusty, red eye funk. Iiiieeewww. Last week was an insanely busy week where I didn't get enough sleep and I ran myself into the ground. Moral of the story? Something is going to give- and if you don't take good care of yourself? It's probably going to be your health. So if I want to keep up this pace I need to be more disciplined about my sleeping, eating and self-care. But I know all this already. I just need to do it. Discipline. Why is it so elusive? So what's the positive in the eye crust and dirty tissue piles? I've slowed down. And slowing down means breathing and seeing things around you that you may have missed if you were going too fast .... the leaves are turning colors, tons of yellow and orange, and my summer plants are still in bloom, and my daughter is saying new words and my son's imagination is going wild right now with all of these amazing stories and ideas! And slowing down does mean I can focus on more of the granular work... so on to that list.... things I can do while I'm sick that won't be over exerting and will allow me to still slllllooooowwww dowwwwnnnnn....

Things I will do differently this week:
This week- or what's left of it- will be focused on self-care, staying in a positive, loving frame of mind, focusing on what things I can get done, passive activities, administrative tasks- it'll make me so relieved to have that above list OFF my plate.
Can I TRY to get to bed before 10? That'd be amazing if I could consistently do this for the rest of the week!
Can I TRY to avoid garbage food? OF course. That's easy.

Dunno if i ever congratulations on the 5k, that's amazing! Recently saw a Netflix thing about people doing a crazy 3 day race who had previously been obese, it was inspiration
