This week I worked on managing my wellness planner, trying to write in it more and be mindful of my movement. 

I learned that following individuals who were liked minded in terms of fitness and healthy active living helped motivate and encourage me.

Some celebrities/ influencers that birghtened my day!

I love her because: 

• She is body positive
• She motivates me with a busy schedule, being a mom and having to balance it all
• She promotes a balanced way of living

She's a hoot because:

• She provides comedic relief for all those struggling with fad diets, information overlead and sensory overload on the Internet
• She provides new perspectives about insane fad diets, and why they aren't a great idea
• Who doesn't want to see some crazy celebrity routines?

This week was HARD!

• I was visiting my mom and struggled with emotional eating
• I was feeling quite fatigued and tired with school and work 

Before the next Genius Hour I want to a) meal prep and b) schedule movement breaks into my phone to remind myself to take breaks 

Some questions that I want to ask are: Will sharing my journey help me create a support network that will assist and help my goals? I will find my answers by speaking to my mom and setting goals with her realted to fitness and food.

My next steps:

• Schedule movement alarms on my phone
• Meal prep for the week 
• Speak to my mom and set goals
• Workout on the weekend and utilize my standing desk
