Learning on the fly

Well my second week of work and I am starting to settle in. Today I finally felt like I was getting back to normal, full energy level. Got to do hot yoga this morning which always puts a smile on my face and makes my body feel good. I am having a hard time getting to my afternoon meditation session. I know that it will really help and am looking forward to getting settled into our office. I am hoping that since I won't be out in the field running around quite as much it will afford me the 20 minutes I need to take a break. I have my first work road trip this weekend. My youngest has a gymnastics meet scheduled in Moscow and so I am going to meet with people up there and get the lay of the land. I am excited!
Being busy is interesting. I don't have time to pay attention to every little feeling I have yet I think I am managing to notice the things I do need to notice and make decisions accordingly. I am getting to the end of my 60 days and feeling like I have made big progress. I think that my Lent goal of not talking about my eating habits has made a huge difference in my life. I am still paying attention and making balanced decisions, i am just not obsessing over it which feels healthier. Most of all I have been able to get in tune with the nuances of that still small voice that gives me feedback and direction on the choices I make. That doesn't necessarily mean that I listen to it but I can hear it and respond. My goal from the beginning was not to achieve perfection but balance and incorporate my health habits fully into my life. Silence is the only thing that I wasn't able to accomplish. It is a work in progress. I have come up with lots of ways to make it happen, just need to start experimenting on that. Writing and keeping track of my food has been a struggle since starting my job. I am on the computer doing so many other things that I tend to forget until it is the end of the night and I have turned off the computer for the night. I have really enjoyed tracking everything, especially my moods and emotions. I think there is a lot of value in that and would like to continue, I just don't know if every day is going to mesh. We shall see.
