Working Out

A good work out is so good for depression. Not like I am depressed just more in a funk.  Lee got me Zumba for the Wii.  But then I found out I was pregnant so workouts went to the back burner where it has been for the past two years thanks to grad school.  So I just did the Zumba workout tonight and I loved it.  What is even better then me loving it is the kids loved doing it with me.  I just wish I could find the motivation to get up in the morning because when I do work out in the morning it makes my day go so much better.  I am not really worried about what the scale says I just want to be able to fit back into my jeans again.  I am drinking a ton of water too.  Due to the things that I have happened over this past week my body hasn't reacted well.  I won't give the details but I am hoping working out, drinking water and getting the house under control will have an impact on me physically and emotionally.  I have a lot of stress lately.  Lee being gone, final exams and my licensing exam plus there is my two classes I need to do well in.  I know what I need to do and how to do it now I just need to do it.

School starts Tuesday and comments about how people hope my kids dont kill their teachers with COVID is neither helpful or accurate. Plus we had a budget meeting after months of no meetings. In which we found out that we had once again over spent in August. Which could have been stopped if we would have known earlier in the month. I sent $1500 to student loans. Andrew turned eight yesterday and I am so thankful for him. He is become such a deep thinker and asks these amazing questions that I don't always have the answers to. The meds have helped slow him down but he is still crazy Andrew. We upped the medications and it was like he was on speed. He couldn't sleep and was kind of zombie like. Then there has been a few moments wher

The one you feed...

A few weeks ago Lee text me this story.  One evening, an elderly cherokee brave told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. he said "my son, the battle is between two 'wolves' inside us all. one is evil. it is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. the other is good. it is joy, peace love, hope serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith." the grandson though about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: "which wolf wins?..." the old cherokee simply replied, "the one that you feed"  One I have heard 100 times but one that I needed at that moment although I didn't know it.  There have been several situations that have happened these past few weeks and I keep thinking of that story and I have to remind myself which wolf I am feeding.
