Double-0 [Mr.] Six

[Mr.Six]

Six checking in.

Time to blow it up.

After some much-needed reflection and refocusing, I need to get back into a routine.

Major changes are afoot and I can't let myself become a work drone that stops taking care of my body.

I don't need to be jacked, but want to make sure I've got some measure of survivability built into this beautiful machine.

 

Thunderball - 64oz of water or tea daily.

 

Live and Let Die - Prep for a trip to New Orleans in October.  

The New Orleans mission will push me outside of my comfort zone and require that I make a good impression.  It's a long way out, but the foundation is going in now.

Tasks for this challenge will be social-intelligence based and focus on increasing my comfort in social interactions.  Work conference August 17-19 will give me an opportunity to push my limits.

 

Skyfall - Some setbacks have left me weaker than before.  Four workouts per week, flexible format as long as they get done.  

*Bonus points if I sign up at the Krav Maga gym near my new office.

 

You Only Live Twice -  One goal will be living more fully.  I've spent a lot of my life waiting for my adventure to begin without realizing that this is it.  From a metric standpoint, this will be a time management goal: minimal wasted time on youtube, social media, or even the news.  But I can earn bonuses by increasing my efficiency -- by whatever means necessary.

 

Other ways to score points:

• Wim Hof breathing / stretching session (+1 Endurance)
• Organize a poker night  (+1 Charisma)
• Meditate (+1 Intelligence)
• Healthy Eating - 2 servings of hearty veg. in a single day (+1 Strength)

 

100 points scored to earn 00 status. Go.

I felt exhausted yesterday after dinner with my folks--these interactions are really emotionally draining for a host of reasons.  It was a good day overall but I probably had too much sugar and carbs which weren't offset by my tea and knowbrainer creamer.  I am on a loose-leaf tea kick that's bordering on obsession...nom nom nom.  My goal for the week will be to ramp up to 20 points by the weekend.

But, s*** has been crazy and I've not done a great job of progressing as I'd like.

Wrapping up at work (tomorrow is my last day at this job), Alzheimer's walk for my dad, you know...life can be a little hectic.  I'm going to write off this week in terms of points, but I have been good at networking my way out of this popsicle stand, drinking water, doing Wim Hof breathing, and living as fully as possible.  Hopefully, I can do a better job of checking in with all of you soon.  

 

Keep Calm and Carry On.

I dunno, overall sounds like a win. Maybe the points aren't there but your mind is right and that's like 3/4th of the battle.
