Hi darlings, I'm a little late to start this challenge because things are REALLY STRESSFUL. * I have a big proposal that is due next week, and I'm kind of managing all the cats. * I have another project where things aren't going as well as they should be basically, for the last 2 weeks I've been waking up randomly at early hours in the morning because stress. I've been busier than I ought to be at work (LIKE WHOA). in times like these, I need to fall back on my good healthy routines. so, simple challenge, very much like last time: * keep going to the gym classes. I signed up for the non-crossfit crossfit gym down the road from my house on 2/23, and I've been doing classes pretty regular. I want to go on average 4x a week. * keep tracking food and thinking about what I'm eating. I don't want to worry about cutting or whatever. I do want to worry about eating good for me, generally whole foods, without a boatload of beers. I did a pretty good job of this last challenge, and so to bump it up this challenge, I'm focusing on good strong breakfasts (esp on workout days) and getting veg / fruit at lunch. Special things that I don't want to make me stressed out about: * do some yard things. I managed some good yard clean-up last weekend and there's always a million things to do. I'm going to get a shipment of plants to install the week of May 14th, and I need to plant them right away. Also, May 12 is about 15 million plant sales in my neck of the woods, and I would like to get other plants and plant them. * do the hobobujo thing. I've been slacking off on this all year so far. I have a bunch of photos, and you know, it is pretty relaxing to just paste them in now and then. also, yard notes. I just have to have a minute to do it. I can do this. other standard stuff applies: I'm still doing tkd 3x a week (teaching 2x, helping out 1x, and then attending / practicing on dojo saturday as often as that instructor can make it). also, I decided not to worry about running right now, in case you were holding your breath on that one.
