Weekly Goal "Achieve Balance" Achieved?

Hmm.... I think in some ways I achieved this goal, in others no.

- I was calm and prepared to be flexible with my work-out schedule as deadlines and assessments were going to take priority.

- I was super efficient and organized with my work-load. I got 'er done, and got 'er done well.


On the other hand, I ate crap all week, did not take care to complete my core and physio exercises and really fought with self-doubt in my career.

The last issue is a given for most teachers at a time like this.

The middle one bugs me.

The first one came as a result of me telling myself at the start of the week that it was going to be insane and challenging to cope with. I'd rationalize the nutrition breakdowns (eating piles of candy or cookies while marking) to be necessary antidotes for survival because everything was so "crazy." I think if I didn't build up the nuttiness so much (since I did manage the work very well, I can also change that " need to survive/ burning the candle at both ends" ethos. In this way I can stick to a cleaner diet and perform even better at work and at play (training). The fatigue on the weekend, I believe, is also related to a lack of attention to my diet.

I don't mean to say that I can't have treats- but the way I approached it can change. In this way, I'm pretty excited about how much I'm learning myself.

So- have I achieved more balance? Yup.

YAHOO!
