So my life can be summed up like this: I'm just pretty much taking one beating after another, and just trying to hold on, while changing what I can. It's like time travel, except I don't get to use cool paradoxes to blow shit up. And I'd really like to blow shit up these days. Anyway, goals are a bit light, but things I want to work on as we get to the end of the year. 1) Primalish Eating I've been trying this this week as a dry run, trying to see how my life is going to take me. Pretty much I know I'm an emotional/comfort food eater, and I graze when at work. But with a tiny bit of willpower I can avoid most of those issues. Also a lot of my comfort foods are still pretty paleo/primal. But I want to try this without calorie counting, and without trying to run from my fork. So the goal is primalish eating - though with rice and oats allowed. Also I need to find a way to grade my days I think, but I'll deal with that later. Also this doesn't apply to when I'm being social. 2) Time is important and stubborn I'm still updating my life and schedule around things right now. I'm really stubborn when it comes to making schedules, so this is a goal more about becoming comfortable with changing up my current schedule. I've worked on it the last few months, but I need a place to document how I'm dealing with things and this is it. 3) Aikido, 5 hours a week <iframe src="https://giphy.com/embed/l0K4nNcTg8oGDnT2M" width="480" height="271" frameBorder="0" class="giphy-embed" allowFullScreen></iframe><p><a href="https://giphy.com/gifs/syfy-12-monkeys-jennifer-goines-syfy-l0K4nNcTg8oGDnT2M">via GIPHY</a></p> Pretty much I still love the dojo, and 5 hours a week is actually still a pretty low amount for me. But I also need to get there to shut my brain up on everything, so.... Yup. Monking out. 4) Japanese lessons 1/day Japanese is freaking hard to get, and I haven't been practicing enough. Partially because I feel like only one lesson isn't enough on my Duolingo account, but also because if I miss a few days I'm drawn in to make the app go gold on old lessons again. That's silly. I need to keep moving forward, not stay stagnant. So this will hopefully get me there. Anyway, lots going on that can change in the next few days. Hopefully things for the better, but I suspect not at this point. Just need to keep moving.
