Sunday Suprise

I was surprisingly able to fulfill the food challenge by cutting more than a few corners health-wise. For instance, 2 of my three milk servings were ice cream, and the third serving was cheese. Here's how it cooked out:
Breakfast-
2 eggs, Fried Zuchinni, Banana, A bagel and cream cheese
Snack 1-
Carrots and Grapes
Snack 2-
Cashews and Bread with Peanut Butter
Dinner-
Lightly fried rice with zuch, bacon, and egg.

That makes 5 oz of protein, 6 servings of grain, 3 servings of dairy, 3 servings of vegetables, and 2 servings of fruit. None of my grains were whole grains, a lot of my servings were fatty and sugary, but at least I got the recommended amount of food. I don't know if it was related to this or how much sleep I got, but I didn't feel the slightest need for a nap this afternoon/evening.

If I try this again, the biggest benefit would be more spacing out, more preparation, and healthier choices.

Saturday!

For Saturday, I completed my scheduling challenge.
I was at the same rate of success, 70/100. Getting up on time continued to be a big challenge, but doing the tasks I commit to was easy, when I finally got to it.

Successes: Did everything I agreed to do- ie the concert, feeding the cats twice and spending adequete time with them

Failures: late, as per my usual m.o.

Thursday

Not a great day for activity, but a day of good news. I received a conditional job offer, and had to perform an intricate physical. I will have to follow up with an exam on next Wednesday. Hopefully I will succeed and move forward.
I had a flub up that I haven't done for weeks- I had fast food. I was really held much longer than I thought I'd be so I was starving when I got out and Wendy's was right there. Still, at least I'm doing much better at eating regularly and recognizing hunger. Part of that was a lack of fizzy ale in the morning. I drank quite a bit of water to prepare.

Wednesday

This was by far my day of most activity this week. Not only was I up and about quite a bit, I was also physically active this day. I danced, along with Jinn, for a good hour and a half. It was exhausting and invigorating. A true highlight of the evening for myself was the opportunity to show Nelo some moves and see him put them into practice with his own creativity involved. I wish Calamitus could have made it to this fun group event, but the ice held him where he was.

Tuesday

Tuesday was my first attempt for scheduling, one of my challenges for this week. I did an okay job at sticking to my schedule. One of the really good things I did was leave space in the schedule. Usually my instinct is to stack and have all of the events one after the other. But when I schedule that way, it is a domino affect of unproductivity when I miss just one thing, because everything is set off. When I scheduled my gap for this day, I was able to use it to make up for earlier missed events. Overall, I'd rate my scheduling prowess for the day at a 70/100, which is just barely passing. I obviously need to improve this score, and hope to do so this Saturday, to help relieve the stress of a very stacked day.

Some victories were being able to get up within 40 minutes of my expected wake time, not taking a time-gouging nap (or any nap really) and getting more tasks done than the day previous.

Some downfalls were the tasks I didn't accomplish (vacuuming for instance) and not getting up at the first alarm. I also didn't schedule anything too healthy.

Monday

On Monday, I wasn't very active, but I got to bed early (a true victory in my general schedule) and I only drank water, which is also quite rare. I also got the opportunity to sub in one of my old positions for a bit. It was only an hour, but it was nice.

Sunday

Today I made a 45 minute appearance at Gym with Biirna, and ate my final helping of squash as a midnight snack. That brings the weekly squash total to three (Tuesday with Biirna, Wednesday with Calamitus, and Sunday alone).
