November Goals

October goals were a bust. I'm starting to think that my list of goals should be things I don't want to do, so I can accomplish not doing things.

October:
- Pay someone to clean my kitchen - NOPE
- Get kitchen organized - NOPE
- Go to yoga at least once - NOPE. Paid for the class, but didn't go.
- Work enough to not stress about next month's paycheck- OH HELL NO.
- Get some items listed for sale on eBay / garage sales- NOPE
- Work on eating healthier again - YES.
- Sit down with Hubs and make a plan to change things up over the next few months - NOPE. He thinks that nothing needs to change.
- Use the October 12x30 Cooking Challenge to focus on food - SORTA. I did 2 posts. That's better than none.
- Finish the review guides for my final exams - EHHHH... I finished one page of 5.
- Write up a proposal for custom appointment software at Mom's job - NOPE. Decided it wasn't worth my time because I know they can't and won't pay what I'm worth.

Honestly, I don't know what I did in October besides survive. Scratch that, Hubs and I did rearrange the office a second time so that both of our computers were in the same room. This also eliminated the ability to watch tv in bed since we were watching on Hubs' computer, and that helps my sleep. And we moved offices at work.

Let's try November's goals. Some of these are already in the works, so I might be successful this month.

November:
- Finish Nutrition course final by Nov 15
- Start Dyslexia Therapist course on Nov 16
- Visit family for Thanksgiving
- Get most (if not all) handmade Xmas gifts completed
- Get the Christmas Card exchange lists out to all participants
- Get Christmas cards ready to mail
- Go to yoga at least once
- Reorganize closet with warm clothes up front

I think I can do this!

  1. I really need to get back in the habit of doing yoga! Even just following a video once a week makes me feel so much better, unfortunately it's been a while since I've made that happen.

Cortisol and Leptin...

Photo credit I feel so run down. I felt like this most of last week, and ended up taking 3 days off work due to it. This weekend was better - We went to Houston. We spent several hours enjoying the Downtown Aquarium on Saturday, and I enjoyed my PCOS symposium on Sunday. But as soon as I got in the car to head home, this feeling came back. It was so bad that I tossed my cookies less than an hour after we got on the road. This was definitely not from being car sick. I don't get car sick. I was tired all evening, had stupid issues with my homework, and finally went to be at 2-2:30. I realize that was late, and it could explain why I'm tired, but it doesn't explain the run-down, crappy feeling. I got plenty of sleep last week and still felt this way. I think it could be a cortisol issue. I have high cortisol levels. I know I haven't checked with a doctor, but from the information I received at the PCOS symposium, as well as years of research, it fits. I did some more re...

Spend a few moments Happifying your life!

Several months ago I was given the opportunity to beta test a new program called Happify . It's designed to help you become happier with your life, and has plenty of studies to back up their science. I've been using it, although not as faithfully as I should. But I really have enjoyed testing out a lot of the different tracks to choose from. This week,   Happify  ent out of beta testing and is now open to the public. There are a lot of free tracks you can choose from, as well as some others you can get by upgrading to a paid membership. I recommend   Happify  o everyone I know that needs a little pick me up from day to day. It has been helping me find my way towards satisfaction with myself and my life the way it is. It has also helped me to expand my horizons and learn how to be even happier. It's a great program. Currently I'm working on the paid track 'Get Motivated to Get Fit'. Right now it's exactly what I need - a way to focus on my health without ...

e-mealz Shopping Trip #1

Last night I went shopping with my e-mealz shopping list. I'm on the Low Carb Any Store for 2 plan. The average is supposed to be around $50. I would agree that $50 is about right for this list. However, I don't shop cheap. I buy organic, grass-fed beef and hormone free chicken. That increased my budget by about $20. I also bought a whole bunch of other stuff, like chips and salsa, extra fruits and veggies, and lunch stuff for Hubs. I'll let you know next week if the recipes are as good as they sound :) I would be super happy if we lived on a farm and I could raise my own chickens. I'm not sure it would save me a lot of money, but it would make me feel better. At least the money I'm spending on the meat I purchase now is going to local farms instead of store chains. I guess I need to start looking for homes for rent out in the country, where I can have some chickens. And goats. Why? Because goats are cute. They jump in the air and dance. How can you be stressed an...
