"News flash: I still sweat a lot. This week's first workout is done! So far I've learned that this is working, and that a little working out is infinitely better than none."
"October 14 - water pic missing but got it all in, went on a loooong walk this day because it was just so stinkin beautiful, and almost died again doing a shoulder workout. Good stuff! "
"Sadly, I did not accomplish my goal yesterday. I did 1 stretching session, which felt really good, but then delayed exercising so lo g that I was too tired at 9pm to do anything but go to bed. Today is a new day, anither opportunity for success."
"Up on time but body is still not adjusting... it is getting much harder to have a good mood.
I'm pulling out the light box, going to spend a minimum of 20 minutes in front of it every morning.
I'm going to go jogging 20 minutes every morning right after the light box.
Before bed I'm not going to eat for 2 hours.
For 1 hour before bed I'm going to turn off all lights and electronics.
30 minutes before that I'm going to journal to clear my mind.
I've also just ordered a weighted blanket.
Each of these things was chosen to combat a specific part of the problem I'm experiencing not choosen just to throw everything at the problem."
"I realize I didn't make explicit the rational behind my commitment and weekly goals: my strategy to favour consistency and adherence to the plan is to use turtle steps, and to aim for forward movement and progress without pushing. I want everything to be fundamentally based is self-love, working with my body knowing that I want to be well, energetic and mobile. I will aim to reduce frustration and treating my body like an obstinate child that I must discipline, but more like a scared and hurt child whom with love, patience and gentleness can be coaxed into flourishing. "
"I went to bed at 12:45 and woke up at 10:00. I was very sleep-deprived so it felt great. I also had an hour of training yesterday so I met my goal of one hour of workingout."
"October 12 - forgot my water pic but got er down, couldn’t even lift my arms for a proper sweaty selfie though 🙃💪 and squeezed in Pokémon #1 of the week! "

"Started yesterday with 1 stretching session and 1 set of 10 glute bridges, 12 knee raises, 12 toe raises, 3 x 5 sec. squat. This week, my aim is to start in on establishing a new habit, and will aim to finish off the week (say, on Fri and Sat) with full sets of the first 3 exos (12 for bridge, 16 for knee and toe raises), and 5 reps of the squat. "

There are many foods I don't like and it's because they damage my skin, make me tired, and put me in a bad mood. "
"Oooh, I kind of like twigs…plenty of room to grow there! Someday sticks, branches, logs, trunks, the possibilities are limitless! (Jk there are definitely limits there 😅) Also thank you for the Pokémon hype!! I was really sad staying home this weekend and was kind of mopey for a while but turned it into a productive weekend of cleaning the apt and getting 12 MORE POKÉMON STITCHED. This week will be harder but hopefully I can get one done tonight and one on Thursday 🤞"
"Current weight 274.8. Averaging 3019 Calories / day over last month. 0.9 hours per day exercise
Am getting back onto the path - NOW.
Been lax over past coupld of months and want a better way of living. Over eating and short changing myself on exercise, stretching, and strength training leads to frustration and anxt. I know what I need to do - its simple. As I do in small increments, it will get easier, and I'll be able to make the increments bigger. Want to get to average of 1625 cal/day while exercising 2 hours/day. I expect it will take me the rest of October to reach those levels. "
