    I totally skipped yesterday. Pretty bad day. Getting such a slow start at this.

    @Bex953172 : I like your idea of a Word for February!...I think mine needs to be Unshakeable--as in, imperturbable, steady, "unrattle-able" :) Thanks for the idea!

    Doesn't matter how slow you start, you're still doing it! There will be plenty of missed days, not every day can be perfect!

    That's a brilliant word! May use that for March lol
    I always keep it posted at the bottom of every post to remind myself!

    Also.. how many kids do you have?!?

    JFT - Thursday & Friday Goals
    1. Eat healthy snacks and get a healthy dinner from diner. :)
    2. HYDRATE :s Really need to step this up. I am getting very dehydrated and I can tell by how lightheaded I am. I need to take better care of myself on the road.
    3. Get REST tonight. Do not work all night. only what you HAVE to get done tonight. :( Worked 14-16 hours both days.
    4. Set out tomorrow's stuff, tonight, so I can get out the door early in the morning for the class I am teaching tomorrow. :)
    5. Call husband and check in tonight. :)
    6. One random act of kindness. :) Done!
    7. Gratitude journal. ;) I didn't write down what I was grateful for, but I did spend time thinking about it, so I think that still counts since the point is to remind myself of all the blessings in our life.

    J4T - Saturday
    1. Eat healthy and journal everything.
    2. HYDRATE! I am severely lacking in this area and it is affecting how I feel.
    3. Pack everything and travel from this hotel to the city I'm working in next week. I cannot wait to be done and go home!
    4. Get some activity in.
    5. Relax and get some rest tonight.
    6. Gratitude journal and read a few more chapters in my book.
    7. Try not to let myself feel anxious or stressed about next week. It will all be fine. I'm good at my job and have nothing to worry about!
