This week has been good. Kevin and I went to Michigan over Thanksgiving weekend and had a great time. We drove back on Monday, and I got back to it on Tuesday. I made some progress on my goals, here's what I accomplished this week.

Health/Fitness

Weight Gain

Unfortunately I gained 2.2 pounds this week. I'm not surprised though - I didn't workout at all while we were up in Michigan, although I've been working out and eating healthfully since we got back. I'm not worried about it, I'll get it off. My goal for our next trip up to Michigan for New Years' is to try and get int at least short workouts while we're there, even if it's just a few short walking workouts. 

Started Meditating Again

One good thing I did for my health and wellness this week though, was that I started meditating again. I figured it would be a good way to deal with the stress I'm going to have this month between getting ready for the holidays, and having to deal with increased call volume at work. I love the way I feel after I meditate, I don't know why I keep falling off track with it. Going to try to stay on track with it this time. So far I've meditated at least 5 minutes every day, going to try to see how long I can stretch that streak out. 

Work

Apptical

Apptical has been steady this week - slower in the morning and busier in the afternoon. I did find out that we're switching to a new payroll company at the beginning of January, so I went ahead and started getting my information set up with them. I also found out that one of our clients is changing its questionnaire - actually doing a complete overhaul to it as of Monday. I've checked out the new questionnaire, it looks like the interviews should go a bit faster the way it's structured now. We'll see. 

Writing

Writing has been slow, though I have been writing on Medium and started writing blog posts for a new website called Cloudy Tea. 

Other than that, I've been just doing my thing every day, and trying to get ready for the holidays. I'll publish a new update next week, and I hope to start publishing posts about other related topics, so if there's anything you'd like to me write about please let me know!
