Restart for mango

Title says it all. I restart today because I ate dried mango last night after setting it as a Not My Food. 

Day 1. I am upper 40's for the days walking, reading, drinking, photo'ing. This one thing - the meal plan. Something needs to change. (me).

To be clear, I can exercise for 1.5 hours a day, but I can't resist the NMF.

And I'm tracking numbers, and seeing why nothing changes. 

Veteran's Day weekend update

Friday was a Purple! Proof that I CAN DO IT.
Saturday and Sunday - conveyor belts.

I made detailed plans for habit change during the week but didn't include weekends. I would have to do that week by week. Do-able. But for now, get the meals in order. 

I felt sick a lot of the weekend because of this. Just conveyor belting it. I'm always in Moria, they have to notice that. 

More running, new habits, no other changes

Goals right now are to work on the come-home to M3 habits and I'm seeing that I get stuck in Moria I put myself in Moria in this "I did some chores already" mentality and stand and have M3. Then after our walk, another M3. Partway through this last night, I realized I could be doing stained glass, playing with Nova, another chore.  

With that realization, I can start to make change. 

LA is losing weight fast - 272 from 290-something! He looks so different!!
Me? 

The election is over, solid results and seemingly none of the fighting/transfer issues. So I've deleted most all politic and news podcasts. I'm staying off of DM and Reddit/popular. Reddit arts only for 15 mins. This will do a lot for me mental health. 

Patio strength training under rain and falling leaves

STRENGTH 45 mins, 30 upper and 15 legs
WALK 45 mins 

Yesterday success - I ran in the morning, was great at work. We got home around 6 - straight to walk dog (a few grapes, a clem), walk, home to closet, wash and change, feed dog, then fell off plan. But the closet to feeding is a new addition!

LA was making soup, I got pulled in and ate standing at the counter. This is still progress! I was supposed to go to stained glass and Nova time. I did that, but not until 830. 

While getting dressed today, remember that if you die these will be your ghost clothes

 RUN! 3 miles in 35 mins, with walking and partly with dog so it's not really "timed". 

So after I submitted a dismal review of the weekend, I have a happy update. 

Yesterday was my first RH blood, and the lab's first RVLC blood. ZN called in sick. And LA had an EGD in the middle of the day. Holy cow, what a day. 

And I DID IT!! Whether it was all correct, remains to be seen. 

I came home from VA with LA, dog to mailbox, eat because I'm H and have to go back to work. 
Work.
Home to follow a modified "come home" habit stack. I went to closet, skipped a few things and immediately rushed out the door to walk before phone call. I did have to skip stained glass, but did get in time with LA, time with Nova, meditate, read!

I will follow too that I went to bed way too full. Feeling kinda sick. Ugh.  

Another mess of a weekend

 Pretty much a restart. I didn't eat anything "off plan" (well, the butter spread on dad's pumpkin, and the oats...) but I ate everything else in the plan and felt sickly afterwards. I'm so productive, but could be much more productive if I could just leave Moria behind. 

Atomic Habits came right back to me from the library. I listened to it last Friday and set a few goals. Now I come home thru the front door, walk dog to mailbox, then fail. Now the plan is to come back to the closet and change, feed the dog, stained glass at least 2 mins, meditate on the mat 2 mins, play with Nova 10 mins (all upstairs), then come down to walk with Lev, dinner at 8pm during phone call. Doing this all on Zero - will be a challenge. There will be days that the weather, or phone call time, or late schedules mess things up. Don't let a perfect streak be the enemy here. 

LA has his EGD today - today of all days. We have my first RH blood and our first RVLC blood. And my coworker just called in sick. I feel sick. I'll have to figure this out, probably have to drop LA off at home and come back. LA thinks I'm joking when I told him that earlier. 

I didn't get a chance to walk this morning, owing to having to come in with him (first time in weeks!), so I walked out around (literally) campus along West End. Feels great. The time change sucks, it will be dark now at 4:45pm :(

My yogurt oatmeal was a disappointment. Blah taste and it's like I'm already hungry again. I tried, but I still have another couple days of this before the recipe is gone. 

Plans for November

135 yesterday JFC

1. Continue the 75
2. Art every day, 5 mins
3. Something not asked for by LA, for LA
4. Nova, just Nova, 10 mins. Can be 2x 5 mins
5. Sit for M3 at 8-8:30pm
6. Be more open to jokes, as LA asked
7. Get serious about the meal plan part preplan, prepack, and stick to it for it to count
8. Stained glass something every evening available, 5 mins
9. Go for a lunch walk, 10 mins
10. Running and HIIT, not just walking

These are some old lingering needs-to-change and many NEW changes which is exciting to be able to add things I want to do. I've been doing #1 and #2 to great benefit. I decided to add #8 and #9 today. 

I went from 132 to 127 to 135 JFC. Really?
