Mood Journal-Days 11 and 12

I was in a good mood yesterday and today. I went to the temple yesterday morning and felt like I had a lot of inspiration flowing to me while I was there. I spent the day pondering that and trying to make changes to my thoughts and actions as a result of the impressions that had come to me. I did some tapping as well. Today I went to the funeral of my sister-in-law's mother, and it was a very inspiring experience. She was a great lady, and I feel very inspired to make some changes to my life thanks to her example.
As a result of the funeral, I didn't study the scriptures until this afternoon, but I'm happy to say that I did get that in despite the busy day.
Sleep: Only about 6 hours Monday night because of going to the temple early Tuesday. Last night I got about 7.5.
Exercise: None yesterday, 50 minute run today.
Spiritual/Emotional: Spent a lot of time on this.
Food: Not great either day. Yesterday I went to Cracker Barrel for dinner late in the evening. I didn't eat a ton, but it was not a great dinner. Today I tried to eat healthy, but the funeral in the middle of the day threw things off, and I ended up way over my calorie goal and way under my protein goal.

Mood Journal-Day 10

One of these days I will actually post something other than my mood journal. But at least for now I'm getting into the habit of posting daily.
Today I was in a bad mood for a good portion of the day, even though I got a decent night's sleep, exercised, studied the scriptures, and ate well. This is where I think hormones come into play. Things like time and not feeling like I was getting anything done were what really got to me today, as usual. And money. Always money. I need to change my relationship with money. Instead of stressing about money or the lack thereof, I need to love it and be grateful for it in my life instead of always wishing there were more of it. We are so blessed financially! My husband makes more money than I dreamed he would make at this point in our lives. The reason we have money troubles is not for a lack of it.
Sleep: Went to bed at 8:30, got up at 4:20.
Exercise: Ran for 50 minutes this morning averaging about a 10:20 pace; then did 10 minutes of pilates and 20 minutes of yoga.
Spiritual/Emotional: Studied a couple of conference talks today, prayed, and did 2 rounds of tapping, both of which brought up a significant emotional response. But I'm wondering if part of the emotion came from my hormones being weird, like they seem to do about this time every month.
Food: Did great today on food. If anything, had a little too much protein.
