We're officially in a shelter in place. When did my life become a sci-fi novel?

Yikes, nope. it was not good Interact Goal: 5 posts in other's posts a week. 0/5 Train Goal: Dinner by 9pm No, 10 Goal: 75 minutes of Vigorous activity a week 11/75 A lighting conference I was going to got postponed. My family back in Georgia and North carolina is starting to worry about me. Somebody offered to send me toilet paper, that's love.

Let's call this a reset to a new week? I'm trying so hard not to ruminate on my fear of being quarantined, I get cabin fever real bad. My boyfriend has been super supportive and told me I wasn't crazy to stop taking public transit. I'm in SF Bay area and my boyfriend has worked in 3 places where now-quarantined people have been. Trying to dig myself out of this weird panic cave of depression. Being smart is annoying sometimes. lol. Sunday Focus Goal: Stay off social media during work hours and bedtime.

This has been a rough week. My job is so stressful and it's got me eyeing my savings and a less stress minimum wage job. Course those jobs usually involve people and I live in the SF bay area. I'm trying to manage the balance between panic and actual concern. Pretty sure my job is about to require us to work remote soon. I've got the worse case of burnout I'm trying to work through. I need a break, badly. I'm trying to update for the week as I can.

It's much better. The steps tell the story almost back at my step goal. And yes, I didn't do a great job of following my plan but I'm trying to bounce back

If I didn’t know better I’d swear we work the same job. Haha I totally get that, we all need our outlet

You and me both. Social media can be a dumpster fire

Day 8 Sunday Focus Goal: Stay off social media during work hours and bedtime. Nope Interact Goal: 5 posts in other's posts a week. 2/5 dang.... Train Goal: Dinner by 9pm Not even close, having fun Goal: 75 minutes of Vigorous activity a week 97/75 I managed to pull my hamstring? Some leg muscle while I was sleep. Not as bad as last year but definitely slowing me down for a few days. which means I gotta mind my diet more, sigh. they say you can’t outrun a bad diet but if you’re running you’re not home bored. All I’m saying.

Day 8 Thursday. Focus Goal: Stay off social media during work hours and bedtime. Not great. Was running energy models which is easy for me to get distracted on Interact Goal: 5 posts in other's posts a week. 2/5 The stress has me feeling anti-social, please don't take it personally. Train Goal: Dinner by 9pm Not even close 2/4 Goal: 75 minutes of Vigorous activity a week 89/75 Went for a walk, almost at 3 mph. Plus did some weight/cable machine exercises in the evening. Today (Friday) I had a panic attack while working. The second one since my mom passed in 2018. My mom was a licenesed social worker and therapist so on top of being "Mom" she was fully qualified to help me through those moments. I got through this one on my own with my boyfriend's help but it was really rough. I keep asking for help but there's no help to be offered than folks wait to the last minute to question my calculations, it got to be overwhelming.

Day 8 Wednesday Focus Goal: Stay off social media during work hours and bedtime. Did okay, Wondering if stock market plunge is God reminding me to keep my job. But wait, aren't highly experienced people valued in a recession? </sarcasm> Interact Goal: 5 posts in other's posts a week. 2/5 Train Goal: Dinner by 9pm Done! 2/3 Goal: 75 minutes of Vigorous activity a week 66/75 Just did some walking. I am so stressed out y'all.

Sounds like things are going really good! Nice!

I've found that making time to unwind really has helped my night routine, used to try to work when I couldn't fall asleep right away. Was counter productive it turned out.

Day 9 T uesday Focus Goal: Stay off social media during work hours and bedtime. Work is making a turn-around but I had to sit in a lot of meetings where I just listened. Interact Goal: 5 posts in other's posts a week. 0/5 Train Goal: Dinner by 9pm Nope 1/2 I'm trying a new sleep aid and it's throwing me off a bit. Will take it earlier if needed tonight. Goal: 75 minutes of Vigorous activity a week 63/75 Uh...? I did do my second HIIT class plus go for a walk but I think my heart rate was unusually high yesterday. Either that or my Galaxy watch got confused, I've read that it has trouble with accurate readings on darker skin but nothing specific. Is there a melanin threshold? I can see my veins, so shouldn't the watch be able to? I'm somewhere in between Beyonce and Lizzo. At any rate I should have some precision if not accuracy. Maybe it was caffeine? I drank 3 cups of iced green tea plus a coffee protein drink. It wasn't a lot of caffeine but it's more than I usually have. Found out I still can't do a burpee, my right knee is just not cooperating.

Day 8 Monday. Focus Goal: Stay off social media during work hours and bedtime. Did okay. Work is being soul draining right now. Being debt free makes it tough to stay motivated for I'm not enthused about. I think this is why I'm underpaid. Interact Goal: 5 posts in other's posts a week. 0/5 Train Goal: Dinner by 9pm Done! Goal: 75 minutes of Vigorous activity a week 14/75 I didn't hit my daily overall exercise goal of 30 minutes. Went for a 22 minute walk. I was 262.8 on Monday. I did drink a fair amount of hard Cider this weekend but I exercised allot. Sometimes I have to look back at my weekend and remind myself I didn't gain 2.8lbs of fat in 3 days. Water weight is annoying tho'. . This week I'm supposed to eat 3 meals a day, 3-4 hours apart plus drink at least 12 oz of water in between that time. Working with a senior nutrition major at a university as their "test client". It's been a fun experience, I've learned allot. Also they haven't hassled me about my weight which is nice. By focusing on eating more produce, hydrating, the same goals get achieved and I'm not going to the dark mental place of dieting.

Week 1 recap Didn't die in HIIT class, going again tomorrow in fact. For some reason my body really wants to try its fasting muscles in the middle of the day and eat at night. This week I'm going to aim to stop eating by 9pm. 8000 steps are getting easier and easier. I uninstalled Castbox because listening to recaps of the news really affects my productivity. It's so hard to do the right thing sometimes.

Day 7 Sunday ...I realize my week is off since I started on a Monday. Focus Goal: Stay off social media during work hours and bedtime. It was sunday so I kinda slacked off. could have gotten more done. Interact Goal: 5 posts in other's posts a week. 5/5 Train Goal: Wait 12 hours between dinner and breakfast I gotta change this but I'm not sure what to Goal: 75 minutes of Vigorous activity a week 89/75 Goal met! I think my watch got disconnected during one of my workouts but I'm not going to worry about it.

Saturdays are pretty easy Interact Goal: 5 posts in other's posts a week. 3/5 Train Goal: Wait 12 hours between dinner and breakfast 10 hours... yikes.
