Lift. 2x week. It didn't work last time, let's try it again, eh? Monday & Saturday mornings. It doesn't even have to be the program, FFS. Just move something heavy-ish up and down a few times. Walk. 2x week. Before work, when possible to avoid the heat. Alcohol. None on weeknights. Snacks. Think about when/why. This is often due to boredom. Fix the boredom with something other than food.   -----   Yesterday (Thursday) was not a lifting day I did not purposefully walk, but a couple errands in the morning meant my Garmin auto-detected one. No alcohol yesterday Snacks are.. snacky.     I did not do the dishes yesterday I did dye my hair I did sew. I would like to be done with this project sooner rather than later.

Wow y'all I am such a fucking useless bag of human flesh. Just had a major meltdown over not being able to tie a string on the back of a picture frame that I've wanted to hang on my wall for the past *checks notes* ....8 years. The crying, hands shaking, mom-has-to-do-it-for-me kind of thing. Like...I don't even have words to describe how fucking useless I am at life. "But at least I can work!" I used to tell myself, except the last 2 days have been such an executive dysfunction hell that I've only done like 10% of the things I wanted to get done and everything is like this and I leave for a trip on Monday and FUUUUUCKKKKK.   And when the picture frame is finally put up (can I operate a hammer and a nail properly, or will that be daily meltdown #2? It is a mystery!) I'll probably be reminded of this every time I look at it 🙃   Living independently is looking more and more like an unattainable goal. Fuck everything.   (Edit: the reason why this is relevant to this challenge is because this picture frame has been on my desk for the past 8 years and is currently the last thing I need to deal with to FINALLY unclutter the desk. But of course "hang a picture frame" has to be an Extreme Challenge all on its own. FML.)

Glad you are well 💜💜

W4D5:  we ran out of DPZ, so I had a can of regular DrP in the morning along with a bag of Cheetos puffs I snagged on the way to work.  Lunch was the meal prep.  In the afternoon I got hungry again so I ran out to the mini-mart for another bag of puffs and a king-size Reese's.  After work I ran a couple errands on the way home and added another Reese's.  For dinner at home MFG made tomato sauce with spicy Italian sausage links.  I boiled 2 servings of GF spaghetti and topped it with sauce and cheese, but I avoided the sausage links since spicy doesn't always agree with me and I still had to go to band practice.  After band I was still hungry, like ravenous, so while I was at the store picking up a few things for MFG I also grabbed some ground beef and a bag of chips so I could make another dinner when I got home.  I pan-seared a cheeseburger patty and made a lettuce wrap, then I ate that alongside a big bowl of chips.  And when all the food was gone and I had finished cleaning the kitchen I sat down with a "pint" of chocolate peanut  butter Haagen Dazs and watched some TV for a while.  5175 kcal, and I honestly still felt like I could've easily eaten another thousand before bedtime.  I have no idea why I was so hungry, but I just didn't have it in me to fight it.  I probably could've made some better choices quality-wise, but my options are also pretty limited.  At least I enjoyed the day.   Probably going to write off the rest of this week, take the L on Sunday morning, and then try to hit it hard next week to close out the challenge.

Oh hi! I am alive, and I am doing well! I am just not updating and I have no idea why.    Ooops.

My dentist office has TVs on the ceiling above the dentist chair and they give you the remote.  But then the hygienist gets all up in my face for some reason and blocks the TV!  😁

Hey all,    We have been doing alright at sticking to our meal plan. Mr.R added in a few items he wants over the weekend like a deep dish pizza and a burrito from a place nearby we haven't tried? I only know 1 place where they have that. Which it's his money so he's more than welcome to get that stuff if that is what he wants.    I haven't seen Daisy this week but that is okay. There were only 2 nice days and I was at my parents working for both of them. I didn't feel like going on the other days because it was raining. I was supposed to go back to my parents today but that only thing she really wants done today is to start moving her donate piles out of the house but it's raining and aside from that she isn't really sure. I have learnt from past experiences that it's better just to stay home if she isn't sure about what she wants to do because then I just sit there twiddling my thumbs and waiting around for her.    My plan today is to work on my coding projects and continuing learning Angular / applying what I have learnt to projects.   

Hey I love that you found some ways to bring in some extra cash AND I love that its by sharing knowledge you already have to help people.   I am definitely team stay sober  You are strong, you are beautiful and you are amazing.    I hope your head feels better, its so hard to get things done when you feel poorly. Can you try a bit of caffeine or aspirin?    Also your ex landlord is a piece of work. Can you just block him and move on with your day? I highly doubt you did any damage to the place to warrant him getting an additional 2.5k.... He sounds like a bully and perhaps this worked in the past so people wouldn't need to deal with him.    As for your question about if you should do a trade or not (if you need money in the future).. Perhaps you could get into something like welding which you could use in your art. I am not sure how it is there but I have heard theres always welding jobs available here and its one of the easier trades to get into. That is all hearsay but might be worth it to look into. My friends mom does beautiful metal art so that is why I am thinking maybe its a skill that you can use for your art but also find jobs when you need a boost in income? 

Ah well. At least you were warned.  chances are you might bump into your ex character as undead if thats what you where investigating. That would be my evil twist as a dm

Yeah, it was actually a really fun session. Annoying not to be able to take the character concept to a high enough level for any of it to work, but that's the way the dice roll.   Also, I 100% could have run away, rather than trying to be heroic and getting myself killed. Some of the others not so much       Yeah, though to be fair there was nothing accidental about this . Posions/curses l/diseases are good when they're interesting - when they just put a road block in the game not so much. I'd take diseases being interesting but not stopping you from playing over realism in that case.     Nah, we're level 1. We onew what we were gettibg into when the GM suggested we roll up 2 characters before the game started - this adventure path is notoriously lethal.   That said, if I need a new character in a year's time I might resurrect him then, if I can find a thematic way to do it. Or I could just introduce his identical twin
