On tuesday night, instead of sleeping at a reasonable time so I can wake up fresh for my job, I stayed awake till late doing unnecessary things.

In this era, we use very little time to be physically active in our regular day to day tasks. We drive around, sit behind computers and television.

Scientist suggested to eat light meals in the night. I ate ice cream as dessert couple of nights ago, even though I was not hungry, I ate the ice cream just because I was bored and couldn't sleep. Next time when I feel the urge to eat something like that, I should think about the reason why I feel that. If I'm already full than I don't need to eat. Instead I can start doing something active like reading a book.

Sometimes at night when I am tired and finished my daily tasks, I tend to go on social media apps and spent time in there. While spending reasonable time to get caught up with my friends and interact with them is not a bad thing, but sometimes I just scroll up and down aimlessly and watch whatever is displayed on my screen. There are some apps that controls your social media usage that alerts you if you use more than a certain amount of time.

I have an app in my phone where I can keep track of my expenses, at the end of the month and year I can see how much I spent on certain things. I didn't get the time to enter them for couple of weeks but I kept the receipt. On Monday, I sat down and entered everything. It helps a lot, specially if you have a goal to purchase something. It gives you a real sense of your saving so you can plan toward your goals using this information. It also allows you to pin point unnecessary expenses.

One of my colleagues had some trouble applying to a position that has been posted in our workplace. So I spend some time and help him develop a good resume and cover letter. Then we completed the application and applied for the job. Hopefully he will get the job!]]> 2019-04-12 15:49:17 UTC https://padlet.com/skhachk378/q6jte392964t/wish/351207801 skhachk378 https://padlet.com/skhachk378/q6jte392964t/wish/351210138 4/7/2019
April 7 is the Armenian Mother's Day, and we spend some time with my parents, talked and ate dinner. It was a very nice and pleasant evening. Couple of years ago when my whole family used to live in the same country, my sisters' and my aunt's family would all gather on holidays and celebrate together. However, now half of us are living so far, making it impossible to meet each other regularly.]]> 2019-04-12 15:54:55 UTC https://padlet.com/skhachk378/q6jte392964t/wish/351210138 skhachk378 https://padlet.com/skhachk378/q6jte392964t/wish/351214514 4/7/2019
As we are happily getting close to our spring break, I planned my time to be productive and fun, I have made some appointments, scheduled to organize my dresser and closet, catch up with some friends and most importantly rest and have some fun.

This week I didn't get to eat healthy as usual, since I was not at home to prepare my food and most of the meals we had to go out with group of colleagues.

Just because I was feeling down and low in energy, I ate ice cream. I knew that it is not the right choice but still it didn't stopped me.

All of us had a boss at some point of our life that she or he has some attitudes that makes us angry and feel bad.

On Sunday I was being careless. I sat on the edge of the bed while folding laundry. So I tried to get a little more back without looking and fell down from the bed on my back.

I usually water our plants on Saturday, this week we were out most of the day so I forgot, however I watered them the next day so hopefully they would be ok.

I try to have plan for most of my time, so over the weekends I usually plan my day with different tasks and activity so I can manage my duties and also have fun. But when the weekend is over, usually on mondays I am exhausted so I don't do much when I return from work, so this monday I was feeling super tired and sleepy but I didn't want to sleep since it was already 5 in the afternoon when I arrived home. So I watched one of the netflix's tv shows for couple of hours. I am sure watching one episode is not bad but when you binge watch that is not very good. So next time i will limit it to only one episode.]]> 2019-05-07 16:29:06 UTC https://padlet.com/skhachk378/q6jte392964t/wish/357711920 skhachk378 https://padlet.com/skhachk378/q6jte392964t/wish/357714875 Week of 5/6/2019

As a new family, I try to establish a lifestyle that would help us to be healthy and energized when we grow older. That include eating healthy, being careful of our sleeping patterns, being active, trying to relax and present in the moment and many other small and big detail.

Sometimes we are sensitive about a topic or we think the other person doesn't want to talk about it. So we stop the communication which can escalate the situation pretty quickly and make us upset.

I tried using muscle relaxer medication and ointments to reduce the pain and as of today it helped a lot.

Specially when it comes to fruits and vegetable, I am not able to put the time and buy them separately, so I am just grabbing a quick bite here and there.
