soul hunger

At some point today, when you begin noticing the first signs of physical hunger, don't eat.

Instead of getting food, engage in an activity you find to be fulfilling. That's right,

you already get a chance to put the activities on your soul food list into action! For example, hug and play with your child, paint a picture, work on a favorite hobby, walk in nature, or anything else that tickles your fancy and fills your soul.

Check in on your hunger before the activity, and then again after about 20 minutes of being engaged in your soul-filling activity.

What did you notice about your hunger while engaged in your soul-filling activity? Did your hunger fade, get stronger, or stay the same?

I went to a meetup over my lunch break and didn't eat lunch til mid afternoon.

I was pretty hungry when I went to the meetup but very soon forgot about it completely. I wasnt particularly hungry right up til when I ate.

What sensations did you experience while you were engaged in your soul-filling activity? How did this feel?

Engaged, interested, eager to participate. Nothing to do with thinking about food.

soul food list

#SoulFoodList When I need love, affection, or adoration, I get this from: Helping other people and seeing them shine When I need attention or to feel special, I like: Being told I've done a great job. When I need peace or serenity, I'm in my happy place: drifting off to sleep on the porch of a hiking hut in the wilderness, listening to the dusk bird call or a babbling stream. When I need happiness or excitement, I get off on: Smashing out a PB deadlift or an impossible hiking day When I need thrill, adventure, pleasure, I like: driving fast but in control (and legally!) on a twisty road. When I need any or all the feels (or a good cry), I can: Listen to dire straits or the eurovision fire saga soundtrack. But I don't so much do feels.

Ritalin day one

I kinda like this Ritalin stuff. Toby says I got the fast release, not the slow release version because my doctor thinks I'm a responsible adult. Immediate release is 3-4 hrs and slow release is 8-12.  It feels like when I stop thinking, there is no monologue that keeps distracting me from stuff. Also I feel like I can feel the coffee hitting me harder. But it's hard to tell given I've just got back from Singapore - I feel refreshed and reset anyway, plus I've just changed 5 time zones. I don't need my europop or prog house mix in my head to focus I feel like the energiser bunny. I'm walking really fast. I feel a bit jittery. And I start a task and just ... do the task. I managed to have just one lunch at TJ Katsu, and just leave when I finished eating. So there's that! (Normally I stay on my phone, and then order a second lunch primarily to avoid work and stay on my phone for longer).  The day has passed in a blur! I don't know if I was more productive,...

a kilo up

Back from 87.9kg to 89kg in two days. I got this. I know what's happening and I can trust the process. In a fairly good mood this morning. I've got urgent dramatic tasks to do this morning so that should keep me focussed. I've got a couple of life admin things to knock off at lunch time. And the weekend will be busy! Keep focussed, keep productive.
