Tekla Staley 10/28/2019 7:36 AMIt's unfortunate that we didn't have a few extra days to update our dashboards. I was entirely too busy last week to keep up my log and wasn't able to access the site from outside INL. Could have logged some more points for the team. -

REFLECTION QUESTIONNature Keep a Nature JournalWhat natural gifts are you grateful for?
Tekla Staley 10/28/2019 7:32 AMI didn't get a lot of journaling done, but I did tune into my surroundings more. Beauty is all around us. I'm grateful to be alive, to live in an area with wide open spaces and clean air. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONHealth Exercise DailyHow can you incorporate other personal values (like quality time with friends or spending time in nature) into your exercise routine?
Tekla Staley 10/28/2019 7:31 AMExercise definitely helps. Lower blood pressure, lower cholesterol, better sleep, reduced stress. I exercise with my husband on the weekends. It's so much more enjoyable, and we can challenge each other. It's much harder to find someone to exercise with at work and may be sporadic at best. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONHealth Reduce refined sugarBefore you started this challenge, did you think you were 'addicted' to sugar? How do you feel now?
Tekla Staley 10/28/2019 7:28 AMNo really addicted to sugar. It is more tied to lack of sleep and hormonal imbalances that driving the cravings. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONHealth Healthy SleepConsider how many hours of sleep you get now. How would you like to shift your sleep patterns? What are you finding works for you to be successful in this action?
Tekla Staley 10/28/2019 7:27 AMI do feel better with more sleep. I am trying to plan activities better and take on less during the week so that I can get to bed earlier.
