Today I was reading an article about the symptoms of menopause. One is hair loss (one of my stresses right now). Neither of my doctors mentioned that my hair loss could be from menopause! Happy to say the article gave some tips about reducing the symptoms and a majority of them are stuff we’ve been learning - getting rest, taking time during the day to meditate, moving. It’s a win because I realized I can stop worrying so much and focus on what will help :) although my worry about my hair loss has gone down, this is another confirmation that I’m doing the right stuff.

A win that I forgot to mention is I’m making my bed every morning as part of my routine. The benefit still remains to be seen, but it is nice to craw into a neat and tidy bed at the end of the day :)

I checked off one of my goals for the quarter.
I checked off one of my goals for the quarter. I’ve had “buy a new fridge” on my to do list since January. For one reason or another, I kept putting it off. When I did my best life, that is one of the things I had to accomplish this quarter. It’s done!!! It will be delivered in 2 weeks. Replacing an at least 30 year old fridge! And now we’ll have ice and water. Hoping this also helps me get in my water every day without having to buy bottled.

Today I set some pretty hard boundaries
Today I set some pretty hard boundaries with someone who has been pressuring me a lot about which birthing method I should use. I basically said it’s not a topic I’m willing to discuss, one will I share my decision when I do make up my mind. It was uncomfortable but I’m feeling relieved to have that expectation out there.

I have two wins this week
I have two wins this week (small as they may be). I’ve done my morning routine 3 days in a row (although waking up earlier instead of snoozing is definitely a challenge that I’m still fighting the battle on) and I’ve prioritized organizing an area of my house two weeks in a row, which is a short term goal of mine.

My win is I took
My win is I took the little bit of journaling time this morning to jot down some things yesterday that could’ve prevented me from getting a full night’s sleep. It could’ve been the sugar close to bedtime.

I totally had a win
I totally had a win…my massage therapist told me, “your muscles are in really good condition…having strong glutes is amazing for back issues etc…” anyway… my pants may be a little tighter, but lifting weights is helping me put on muscle underneath my cushion. My issues should be and could be sooo much worse! Good reminder!

My caramel apples did not turn out!
My caramel apples did not turn out! The kids were so excited and I felt bad. I felt my feelings - agreed that I had a right to feel bummed and disappointed, gave myself an A for effort and moved on with life
