75Hard.2

STRENGTH & PILATES 30 mins
WALK brisk 15 mins
WALK 45 mins

So that might be a concession I have to make. Sure I could have done another 15 mins of "indoor stuff", but the walk was the better workout to get moving and wake up. 

The water thing surprises me - not so bad? I get a lot in the morning. Coffee is not supposed to be included, however. I might have to make a fast decision on this. If I do the 75Soft, its 100 ounces of water. My coffee pot is 46 ounces. Ooh I just googled its 8x6 ounces, haha!!

LA has covid. Again. If it hits me I'm training anyway!

ETA: successful day. I'm surprised that the water isn't as bad as I thought. But COFFEE!
Did the afternoon walk with Nova, what a slow boo. 

Reading JBP Rule #4

Is this day 1 of a new challenge?

Follow BLE

Dring a gallon of water

Read 10 pages of non-fiction self-help type book

Exercise 2x a day for 45 mins, at least one outdoors

Daily progress photo

I managed all that today. I didn't have much issue with it, so I'll continue. I know some of the 2x 45 mins are going to have hard days - travel, sickness, etc. But that's the whole idea. It's SUPPOSED to be hard. 

Didn't pee as much as I thought I would!

Last night's dream; lunar full supermoon eclipse

CORE 10 mins!

I've been walking at least 10K a day (excepting the exceptions) but not running or exercising. I don't have the energy. Or desire? I think were I to start, the desire and habit would follow. 

I had a dream last night that I was hugely out of shape, putting on clothes and looking and feeling awful. 

I only rode by beloved bike a few times this year. I didn't run much, I reached 10-12 miles a week and just burned out for some reason. 

Some blame on the distraction of the new job (but this weekend is two months), the long commute (1.5 hours a day, or more), the life changes of new schedules and new everything. 

This weekend I'm going HOME for the first time since moving here. May? April? I miss home so much, but so much is changing there and I feel out of place. 

Great changes with other habits - 8pm, 3 fruits, 1 grain, and BLE. Some though are just hard to get rid of. Azog has a slow death, he's a challenge. 

Post 2 years Monster, now for Azog

 No running. Walking, including a new lunch walk habit. 

Last three weekends we're traveling. This weekend we're home. My to do list is really short, the things left on it are bigger projects that I can see a path towards. This weekend we're home!! I will make the most of it.

LA made changes, he's now kinda OMAD. I made changes. Today is day 2 of no phone with meals. No surfing, browsing, etc. Yesterday I did lunch with the phone. A bad habit that needs to go!! Dinner last night more of the same door-to-Moria for an hour. But no phone. Sadly a JAMA in the mail. SIT! Relax! It's stresful this way. 

September. New moon. 6 years. what next? 2 years!

Hey I went for a run Wednesday with Nova! RUN 1 mile

That's my first run since LA and I did the trail run...a month ago? Felt great. Let's do it again. 

So Sept 1 was The Day.
Then Sept 2 new moon was The Day.
Then Sept 4 6 years was The Day. 

I ended that last day the same way I did 6 years ago. With sunflower seeds and regret. 

What's next?
Sept 7th is 2 years. That certainly was A Day. 

WTF do I need to get CHANGED and out of Moria?

700 days, 1900 days, but still Moria

Supposed to RUN today, maybe a trail!

But for now, he's sleeping and and I'm AGAIN mulling why I'm stuck here. 

700 for Monster
1900 for Balrog
1 for Azog, the Great Ocr of Moria

Azog is a lingering orc, a time warp of sorts. Pulls you in and doesn't let go. Minutes, hours can pass. Walking through Moria, by Moria. Thinking about Moria, hiding from Moria. 

This too will end. Today. 

August 4th, New Moon again, only some change

RUN 3 miles with LA

PLUS 30 mins of strength and Pilates 

Some changes are positive.  No more fake B or fake M. Stopped chips. Back to meal prep and mostly on goal to have all 3 pre packed. Pimsleur and duolingo are done. I have a 3 miles/run habit almost 4 times a week. Still 132. New job! 3rd week of Apple Fitness is done, 3 more weeks until current plan ends. I can feel the strength and flexibility improving. That feels great.  Habit Rabbit is the new app. 

Some changes are negative. Today PB.  Recently raw oats. Still standing. Still spending a lot of time in and around Moria and it’s just ME I realize. All 4 of the rest of them are not. Really need to fix that. 

Some changes to make. Added a 30 min limit to meals, get out of Moria. Added prepack goal, I’m mostly on it. Stop raw oats. Stop PB before it’s a twice thing. 

Add in running to build up to a 10k plan starting Sep 14. 

Kids went back to MO yesterday on the New Moon.  This was yet another Reset Day. 

Then today I work from home and it’s yet another conveyor day.  Not sick, but not H AT ALL. Start again..

When I come back for the new new moon it will be …Sep 2nd. Goal under 130. 

Oh and 80 days until bday goal of under 125.  18 days until the MiTi 10th anniversary. I really want to be past all the shit by then! 

205 days No S, No F.  29.26 weeks!

698 days no M! 99.72 weeks!

1709 days since move in. 

1895 days since I Killed a Balrog.
