a kilo down

Well, that makes me happy!

A work colleague took my passport photo, he took it from the waist up. The camera adds five pounds they say, this photo def showed the ten pounds that has to go. Incrementally and sustainably. I'm relearning good habits.

Noom and chatGPT are telling me I'm not eating enough calories and definitely not eating enough protein. Time to boil up some chicken breast. 

Sally and Andrew came round on sunday and made me realise I've not booked Christmas accommodation or travel which stressed me. I went from ignoring it to hyperfocussing on it last night. Sorted. Urgent stuff done, things I don't know on the list to discuss with Angela. Also passports renewed. I can get this stuff done as long as I attach urgency and drama. 

Goals for the week? Keep working through my todo list. run every day. Weigh daily and log food. It's great being busy.
It's now 10:20am and I've got not a lot done. I'm hungry and unmotivated. 10 min until a 'listen in' workshop and I will multi task and work through my TODO list.

It's a bit depressing to read a near identical post from February about what I'm going to do this year

Oh well. How will it be different this quarter? I know how it'll be different. Mindfully following through. And I did partly succeed back then, but then I regressed again after my Sydney Half. I will build sustainable habits this time.

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.
