What this says to me:
- Flopping on the couch and watching tv won't solve my problems, or achieve my goals, even if it feels good in the moment. An hour here or there is fine, but two full days (this past weekend) is not helpful.
- Eating candy and processed foods may make me feel good in the moment and give me a little pick me up, but in the long run doesn't solve my problems and actually creates more (weight gain, bad teeth, diabetes, other illnesses).
- Use the time I have now to make progress for my future. One small step today is worth ten big panicked steps 10 months from now.
- Freelancing
- PMP
- Skill enhancement
- SQL
- Project Planning and communication
- Simplification
What I accomplished 1/12/2016
- Up at 5:45AM
- If still sleepy when my alarm goes off, I have been giving myself one snooze. I promise myself that I will get up. I don't want to go back on a promise to myself, so I do get up.
- Pilates video in the living room this morning
- 1 mile walk around 1PM
- Lights out by 9:40PM
Food Journal 1/12/2016
Breakfast:
- Coffee with cream
- Yogurt
- I can only tolerate grass-fed, organic, plain yogurt. Some people can't tolerate dairy and specifically cut out yogurt, but I consume it every day. I haven't cut it out yet because it's un petit plaisir that I don't want to give up and I am not seeing any issues with it.
- However, processed milks do give me joint pain, so I avoid that. If it's not grass-fed, raw (preferably) or at the very least organic, I don't drink it.
Lunch:
- Leftover Potato Soup
Dinner:
- Bell peppers with cream cheese dip
- Neither of us were super hungry. We both had very low energy.
- Goat milk yogurt for dessert (not a fan).
Observations
- I was way sleepy this morning. As discussed in yesterday's post, no more phone in the evenings!
- Today was super stressful at work. It needs to slow down already.
- I have gotten very down this afternoon. I am fighting a headache and my energy has tanked. I am thinking the yogurt I had this morning wasn't enough.
Fixes
- I envision my evenings looking something like this:
- Get home ~ 6PM
- Put stuff away
- Clean out lunch pail
- Help Aaron with dinner
- Eat dinner
- Do dishes/other chores
- Run the dishwasher if full
- Go for walk ~ 7PM
- Watch video lesson/do homework/complete freelance work ~ 7:30PM
- OR catch TV show (not the preferred option)
- Get ready for bed 9PM
- foam roll
- skincare
- set clothes out for tomorrow
- lights out 9:30PM
