Winter Time Blues and Healthy Goals

I just finished talking with my health coach - it's pretty cool actually, it's free and she calls me and asks me how I'm doing and we set goals and then she asks me about my goals.   It's a part of my state health plan.

I told her that I was a complete bum last weekend and didn't do anything or go anywhere even though fun things were happening.  I work and come home and work again and then I don't want to do anything.  I even turned down free dinner and game night!  My coach reminded me that it is getting darker sooner and maybe it's just the winter time blues because I'm not getting enough sun.

My goal for this month:  Do something social every other weekend and exercise 3 times a week.

Ideas

1. Dinner at Hibernian Grill - in the library with the fireplace.  (A winter tradition.)



2.  Movies with friends - when is Les Miserables coming out?



3.  The Apex Nativity display and the Messiah sing along - on my birthday - Dec. 8th.



4.  I want to see a musical - I'm not sure what is playing or where it is playing, but surely something good must be playing during the Christmas season.




5. Travel - I have a 3 day weekend - where should I go?

Work and more work

For the past few weeks that school has been in session, I have left almost right after the students left.  I really should realize that I need to stay longer so I can get things accomplished.  I stayed until 6 last night and I stayed a little longer than that one day last week. I got so much done!  The problem is that when I get home I have another job waiting for me.  I teach an online class at Grand Canyon University.
It is so hard to prioritize and make a schedule work!  I really like my European vacations and I like that I am getting experience at the university level, so I am keeping the GCU job.
My friend Suzanne raises butterflies.  She has a butterfly farm.  That is her passion and she's turned it into a business!  I wish that traveling could turn into a business for me!
