OH MY its almost Fall!

Well my blog followers, my summer was absolutely CRAZY!..  We sold our home and had to leave the 18th of July.  However we weren't going to close on our new home until a month later in August.  Plus our daughter was coming home from London for the summer months vacation. Enter pure Mayhem.  We moved about every 2 weeks staying with friends and house sitting, until our final move into the new house.

  My daughter is used to being in constant motion, so she was constantly after me to go to another Zumba or exercise class. She was always wanting to do or go. I was worn out, and starting to have and iron drop but couldn't find time to do anything about it. Needless to say she kept me in a semi exhausted state.

 I quit wearing my arm monitor several months ago, but I'm about ready to get back into the habit again.  I miss knowing where I am on the numbers.

I just came home from a weekend workshop of  Healthy Lifestyles Behavior Changes.  Its about making small changes to achieve your goal over a long period of time 10 months  in fact.  I'm so enthused to start this, but I want to apply it to myself as well.  I have some more learning to to do with it, becoming efficient at learning to ask open ended questions and not trying to fix other's problems but help them to come to their own answers.  As a mom that is kind of tough.  You do for your little ones, and as they get older, you have to step back and let them do for themselves.  Well, this is the same philosophy, only we never do for the people in class, they must learn to do for themselves. The next few months will be a time to hone my skills before engaging a class.
 I know this is short, but I just returned a few hours ago, and have much catching up to do. Have a good week!
