wow. you guys. for some reason i did not get any notifications on my posts. sad. I'm going to start up a new challenge!! this one did pretty well. I lost 5 or 6 lbs

LOL

So i've been tracking food... and also noticing that now that i'm working from home, i am not eating regular meals, except dinner which is one giant meal. 

Must fix this.

Hugs?  Does she work for hugs?  Because at the moment that's really the only currency I have.

I help for hugs, work for cheap

Text me and we can talk about what you need!

hi hi hi

YES! Nationals!

hiii. i'm here.

ok .hi. i've missed some of this challenge. here now.

i've heard @nightlight works for cheap. 

I still need to figure out my "how" I'm going to make this an achievable goal where I can prove results. 

I know I need to start tracking on MFP, so I will do that.

My MFP = http://www.myfitnesspal.com/profile/needanightlight

I also need to start meal planning, rather than just winging it. I'm going to try to plan tonight for at least a couple of days coming up. 

To not eat like an asshole. Watch food. Watch lbs go bye bye. Plan forth coming.

Goal 2: Dani Two-Bricks

I've been tracking. Really trying to stick to my calories. 

Goal 3: Get Your Mind Right

taking all supps, except I can't find my tumeric, so that one is not happening right now. 

I cleaned a lot over the past weekend. or, what feels like a lot, and i know i made progress but my place still looks like a tornado went through. I am continuing to push on

 

I feel you. When my Dad had his heart attack, it freaked me right the fuck out. Facing these things that end us... how strange and terrifying.

 

I have a bit of a cleaning bug myself, lately, although I'm not so disciplined in pursuing it as you are.

oh i am not disciplined. i have guests coming this weekend.

yay workouts! boo doms!

See link in sig...

*hugs*

ugh. rips suck.

 

Cancer and heart attacks and all the little processes of life going wrong in the face of the entropic nature of the universe. I hope the sonogram doesn't reveal anything worse.

 

Rucking is definitely something I want to pursue at some point a long time from now.

 

I hope your mom is ok.

 

I hope everything went ok. Hang in there. 

Thanks everyone. 

The sonogram was clear. I was really upset and nervous about it because her blood sugar hasn't been good lately (she's diabetic, but typically well controlled) and she said she's had pain and itching in the left "boob." I know she's going to die someday, I just don't want it to be from cancer. I want her to live a full life. I'm not ready for that to happen now. My grammy died when I was 2, and my mom was 27 at the time. I can't imagine what she went through, and I am no where near ready for that. I also know that I don't get to choose any of this. 

GOAL PROGRESS:

I weighed myself. I don't like the number. I'm really not wanting to put it up here, so I'm not going to. A few of the nerds know what it is, I'm just not ready to disappoint everyone with it. I've pretty much gained all of the weight I lost back. Though, lately I'm feeling a renewed sense of commitment to kicking ass again. Maybe it's the spring? Maybe it's because I feel like I am not respected as much as a good coach based on how I look. I know that shouldn't matter (look at gene coffee,) but in my "world" it does. I know I'm one of the best coaches at my gym, and probably the best olympic lifting coach at my gym. Now I want to look the part. 

Goal 1: Rehab, Gym, Ruck

Goal 3: Get Your Mind Right

I'm making a point to really clean my place up this weekend. I started today. I'll do a little, then when I start feeling overwhelmed, I stop. Then go back to it 15 min later. 

So far this week has been ok. 

I haven't made it to the gym, but am going tonight, fri, and sat or sunday. also planning on a ruck over the weekend. Though, I have to clean my apartment and I might just toss on my ruck with 20lb plate and clean with that on. 

I'm super stressed today because mom isn't feeling that well and has a sonogram today and all I can think is cancer cancer cancer.
