I accepted a new job with a tea company that is opening a store in my city. Training and team building has been fun so far, and I think I'm really going to enjoy working for this company. I'm a huge tea nerd so the chance to learn more about it and have fun with customers while doing so is awesome. I'm taking a French course this summer to catch back up and finish my GEC requirements for my undergraduate degree. I feel a bit overwhelmed by the teaching style, but I think it is helping my comprehension. C'est trés difficile, mais bon pour moi. I'm trying to be more diligent about keeping up with schoolwork and house work and balancing out the various areas of my life that seem to feel overwhelming at times. The more I stress out the more I seem to wreck my life, so I'm really trying to keep myself in line.

It has been a few weeks since I started following my Naturopath's suggestions. I'm excited at my progress and the changes in my body. I joined a gym and started cardio and strength training 3-4 days a week, with a goal of 5 in mind. That had been something I'd talked about doing but never followed through with until now. My body is still adjusting, and I'm pretty sore, but I'm also very out of shape, so I know it will get better in the coming weeks. I've been taking extra magnesium and zinc. Both of these vitamins seem to be helping with my premenstrual symptoms, well, at least the physical ones. I'm also having fewer migraines, and when I do have them they are less severe than before. I've also been keeping a food diary so I know exactly what I am eating and I'm trying to incorporate more stress releaving activities in my life as well. I'm trying to be more organized with planning and follow through on school work during the summer, so I can build better habits for fall quarter. Overall I am pleased with my progress and can't wait to take a look after a few months and see the changes.
