Thanksgiving Week

 Did I do anything this week? I think LA and I made it to the gym Monday morning. Or was it Wednesday? Both? 

I don't think I ran at all. No, wait, we ran maybe about a mile on Thursday morning. To LA's tree and back, lots of walking though. There's no motivation to run right now. 

I'm adrift in sadness, a vague but persistent feeling of....nothingness. It will improve over time, I expect, and sooner if I'd just engage in life. I realized last night that I need goals. 

I started a goal of 10K steps a day. I stopped eating sugary foods and candy. I've lost taste for cheese for now. I started eating rice and potatoes, but I that's a comfort food thing. I'm trying 16:8 IF but I'm not sure why so I don't stick to it well. 

My body feels like a mess, but really the mental symptoms are just a manifestation of stress. The breast pain a symptom of some weight gain. The hips and feet a symptom of lack of flexibility and PT type work. The gut pain a symptom of eating FODMAP foods and/or more. The lack of energy is part depressed mood and part a lack of movement. 

So hence the 10K/day. And what else? I have habits that depended on the dog (come home and walk her right away, not linger in Moria, etc) and I need to re-tool these until a new dog comes along. I can still come home and walk right away "on zero" as I call it. Come home again and wash "on zero", do a chore, and do some PT work, all "on zero". Then, only then, M3. 

Keep looking for goal opportunities, and get to work now!
