hope your doing well

Life has been crazy around here! Which I am sure is the same everywhere. Health is getting better but has been hard. I had to have a tooth pulled that I broke apparently while I was in the hospital. Now I have a big whole in my mouth. (it feels goofy)

I have been working on my IIN school stuff.  Trying to get a logo made up and reading my school book.

School itself isn't crazy yet.  So far they wanted us to do alot of reflection and why we are there.  I am not 100% sure yet other then I want to better my health and happiness.  And if it helps me helps others that is great.  I am hoping to up it all together. Wildtree and the health coaching.  I posted about my meal planning system on my IIN school page and several people want me to make them one.  :)  I might have something there!

I started another Whole30 yesterday.  http://whole9life.com/category/whole-30/ Went to the farmers market and got some good veggies.  Not to mention the seedlings to put in the garden.   Below is the great dinner I made tonight.  Ranchers steak, fruit, and salad.

Things have been so crazy!

I am going to try this again!  But this time I will share more about what I am doing.  

I believe I am having a mid-life crisis!  I am not sure what I want to be when I grow up.  My health has been bad that last two and half months.  Just last week spent several days in the hospital again for asthma problems.  Even spent one night in intensive care!  I really have to decide what makes me happy.  I can't keep doing this.  I say yes to everything and that has to stop.

I did enroll at the Institute of Integrative Nutrition for the year long program.  I do see some changes coming personally and professional and this will help with both I believe.

Our first assignment was to think about what our intention was!  Why did we come to IIN?  Words that came to mind were determined, healthy, happy, passion, thoughtful, accountable, and consistent. I see this vision of a Health Coach taking the place of "school nurse".  Working in the health care field for 20 years now why do we have to treat the illness when we can help stop it. I could be the health coach for kids and staff. We need to keep our teachers healthy and happy too.

One of my new favorite quotes "genetics may load the gun but you decide if the trigger gets pulled" - meaning you can fight against any illness with environmental changes.

One other thing that stood out to me from class already is we are very picky when it comes to friends and family. We only hang out with who we want and that is only a few hours a day or week.  But we will work for just about anyone!  We will spend 8-10 hours a day for someone we can't stand and we think it is ok to do so.  Why?

I also felt like we were missing out on some fun times with the kids.  So we purchased a pop up camper!  I will have some fun updating the cushions and curtains.  :)  More to come on that.
