Monday

busy busy busy

Just making myself a cup a tea (wildberry delight with poppyflower) I've been really getting into tea lately as well as drinking way less coffee - strange, but nice. It's been a long week. Can't believe it's the 12th of October tomorrow.....
I've gotten my final exam in the mail, and am hoping to have it finished by Wednesday night. I'm a little nervous, I shouldn't be, but I am - this is pretty important and exciting to me! There was a slight mix-up before, they sent me some lessons instead of the final, so I was a little 'off' for a bit, but am ready to get'er done tomorrow and Wednesday. I don't have to help out at the school at all, and am otherwise on track for most everything else. I'm also pretty excited to restart my relaxation and stress management courses (funny how it seems that what ever I am learning is what I really need in my own life...) I have for a long time been stressed and think most mom's have trouble being relaxed. Give me some time and I'll help us all! :)
Thanksgiving weekend here went well. I'm so thankful for my boys (Chris, Callym and Oscar), and miss my family out west. It sounds like they're coming out for Xmas again this year, and that will be SO nice!!

I've been keeping up with my vits, and started adding in the D Vitamin (So important in the winter months, especially up north here!) Getting happier about running lately too, I'm pretty sure it has to do with the fabulous weather we've been having here, high 20's to low 30's, strange but wonderful for the month of October!!

Thanks giving blessings to everyone out there! Hope you are all well!

uhhhu....

Yes, so it's been a while. What? Really, nearly a MONTH!!

Ok, Ok... I'm on it again... here we go!

Today and tomorrow are designated as "Nutrition Final Exam Days Part 1". In fact, I was expecting to take a week to finish it off, but am nearly done already! Yip Yip. I'm already excited to start studying the relaxation and stress management courses again. (A very VERY good friend of mine is having some problems with stress, and this is a great way for me to "practice" on her)

I'm still taking Q10 every day, no noticeable changes for the good or bad, so I take that as GOOD. Blood tests just came back, and as there is one little issue with my WBC, I am taking my results to my Naturalpathic Dr. to find out what it could be... suprisingly I'm not worried, hmm, that's COOL!

I'm not doing so well with the running, although I have been going out quickly after dropping the boys off at school, I guess that will have to do now that it's staying darker out later and getting a bit nippy out early in the morning.

Please don't forget that with the changing of the clocks, we must also start with our Vitamin D supplements. Don't know who much you should be taking? Go get a blood test done for it!

Still drinking 2-3 glasses of Green Tea, and every few glasses I've been adding some Tumeric and Cinnamon (Tumeric for all it's 1000+ good things it does for your body and Cinnamon for the taste!)

well, I think that might be it for now, I really want to keep the studying going, back again soon? I hope!

Saturday

how many times can you start over?

Argh.
Frustration.
Starting over...
Again and again and again...

So, tomorrow is Sunday. It is the day before everything starts ..... again... (technically Oscar didn't officially start school on Wednesday due to their slow integration of kids into Kindergarten - but anyways)

Maybe I should be happy that I get to start again, because this last little while I have seriously sucked at doing the things I've wanted to. I thought for sure that I would be into some kind of a routine by now!

Anyways, the only thing that I'm adding now is that I'm going to take a photo of myself once or twice a week to see how great (?) it's changing.... also, to go with that, I'm going to be doing some hard core Zuzanna . Can't wait to see those results!!!
The weather has turned colder for sure now, we may get a few nice days, but I don't expect them, in turn stews, soups and hearty veggies will be filling our plates and bowls more... hope the pounds don't come with it!!

HOW COULD I FORGET?????

I have officially finished my first portion of my Nutrition course, I now only have the Advanced to do and I am officially a NUTRITIONIST!!!!!



Also found a COOL new site that you may like..... I LOVE Deepak Chopra and would actually like to learn ayurveda!
Anyone out there practice this?? Would love to hear from you!

Friday

another of my fav. sayings

Shakira, I LOVE her! I listen to her when I run, when I clean, in the car, where-ever, when-ever (hehe, get it?)

From her newer song "GYPSY" (which is my new ultimate fav for so many reasons)....


"Walking gets too boring when you learn how to fly"

Wednesday

So I'm still here....

So I've been waiting for my kids to start school so that I could start my own new schedule. I"m so excited for it really, that I've kinda started a little earlier - slowly, so that I'm not overwhelmed by the end of the first week.
Anyways, I think that's it for now, Just wanted to make sure I was keeping up with the blog!

p.s In an effort to care and understand my body and mind more, I have begun a journal. I'm recording things like my temperment, missed vitamins, if I'm sick, food stuff and more. I'm pretty excited about what I may just learn about myself from all of this!
