Its Friday...Time to Sum it all Up!

This week has been a tell all type of week...it has been good and not so good...it has been a week of finding out of what I'm made...or something like that!


Physical:
 I am about to complete my 3rd week of working out 5 (in a structured way) days a week.  So out of the last 15 days I have worked out 14 of them.  It is this week that I have seen and felt some changes to my body and I like it! lol  I really like being on the clock as it challenges me to work harder and to think more about what I am doing. I like the consistency of working out every day.  I have made good eating choices this week.  I have decided that if I really want to lose these last 8 pounds that I need to stop the "one bite" here and there stuff and I have...  All in all a good week of lots of positive fitness!!

Career:
This week I have been more motivated to work with the students on personal issues.  I have been pushing some to be honest with what they are doing with their lives.  I have confronted them and called some parents.  Hopefully it will work out to their benefit.  It has felt good to let some of the other parts of the job go for a few days and just focus on the reasons why I went into teaching the type of students that I do.

Social
Not much to report on in this area.  It continues to be something I want..I want more things to do..Lydia and I did go to the Science Museum and it was fun, but I need other "stuff", too.  I have to admit this week I have been so tired and have had no energy to do much, but I also don't think I ever will during the work week.  I am going bowling and out for dinner with my sister in law and nieces.  It should be lots of fun!

I am reading two books...One is called...The Primal Connection by Mark Sisson.  He is the author of the Paleo Diet stuff.  I am finding this to be an interesting read and informative.  Much is common sense but some is eye opening.  It is about being able to live fully with all the modern day interruptions and getting in touch with your true self. The other is called Behind the Beautiful Forevers.  It is about life in the under city of Mumbai.  I am finding it to be heart wrenching.  I am not too far into it so no other endorsement yet.

Another cool thing I have discovered this week has been Archtypeme   It is a quiz that you take and then it identifies you in three categories.  The cool thing is it then leads you to a page that has all sort of fun and informative things according to your categories.  So cool!

So this has been my week!  What have you been up to?
