Running with the Doctor can be very tiresome, especially when you have a Cyberman on your tail. Your life is literally on the line when you have a Sontaran running at you, flailing his plasma weapon in your general direction. And when a Dalek performs a temporal shift and materializes right in front of you, the stress is enormous! So that’s why I’m going to work to get back into shape, and de-stress myself over the next six weeks. My life has been full of stress, which has only served to worsen my health. Most recently, I have become unemployed while dealing with health and financial problems. So the stress has been overwhelming. I am not at all whelmed. So over the next six weeks, I am going to make changes in my life to overcome my stress, and get back into shape. MAIN QUEST To De-stress, and manage my health better. PRIMARY OBJECTIVES Perform heavy workouts three times a week, and light workouts three times a week. Stabilize my blood sugar. (I am hypoglycemic.) Take one day off for “me time.†LIFE QUEST Begin working towards my “Home Inspector†license. These objectives and goals will characterize future six-week challenges as I aim for better health overall. And perhaps, I’ll be able to start running with the Doctor again by the time Peter Capaldi takes the reins. -------------------------------------------- As a reward for myself, for every six-week challenge that I complete successfully, I will crochet two feet of the Fourth Doctor's scarf, until I get the entire scarf in all it's crazy long glory. As I make the scarf, I will be sure to post pictures of it for all to see. -------------------------------------------- *Edit: due to some injuries and health issues.* Instead of three heavy workouts at the gym every week and three light workouts in between, I'm changing both to two times a week. Hopefully, this way, my injuries can heal without me aggravating them.
Sorry about not giving any updates. I got burned out on forums years ago. However, I do have a little bit of an update. I've done a lot better on de-stressing myself. With being sick or injured or the unexpected Deep South snow, it's been hard doing my workouts and getting to the gym for part of my routine. But! I started doing yoga with a friend, and I'm rather shocked at how well it's working and how much it's helping. As for the blood sugar, it's still kind of up in the air but doing a little better. I found something called Celtic Sea Salt. It seems to be helping thus far. And the "me" day once a week hasn't entirely worked out then again it has. Trying to adjust to a new schedule, or lack thereof, has been very tricky. But it's also nice to have to work at making things work. Now, that Home Inspector course didn't work out at all. I suddenly realized that I would have to crawl under houses. Not a good idea with my asthma and allergies. So instead, I'm working towards my real estate license and starting to work on my wedding planner license as well. I like being busy.
