faraxk Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 So today isn't off to the stirring start I was hoping. A stomach bug has waylaid things, but I've at least gotten an hour long meditation in. So what am I hoping to achieve? To get this diabetes under control, paleo has worked well so far. I am bound and determined not to go on insulin if I can help it, which I had to do when I was pregnant. I'm hoping with losing twenty more pounds and instituting regular exercise, I can get my fasting levels back under control. Right now I'm in the prep phase. I'm going to tour a gym on Thursday in preparation for my new job move, which should hopefully happen in a couple weeks. I'll also keep implementing a no grains, no dairy diet to address the Hashimoto's. Once I feel better I'll start trying to do at least ten minutes of yoga a day to help with a persistent back injury/general lower back pain from sitting so much, and plan and execute one hike on the weekend. Oregon is a firestorm right now, so air quality is an issue, but I'm planning to head out to the coast this weekend and do a hike out there where things should be a little better. So a rundown of goals: Lose 20 more pounds: starting weight: 165 current weight: 156 Be consistent on cutting out dairy and grains: make a grocery list and go to the store every weekend boil eggs and cut veggies every weekend find new recipes as temperatures get cooler and salads get old Match every hour I'm at a screen to an hour of activity (ultimate goal - will start slow): 10 minutes of yoga daily Plan and execute a hike every weekend (Future plans - start going regularly to the gym, start building more yoga and outdoor activity time) Bonus: When I'm indisposed like today, do a long meditation Try to work in short meditations daily Save $100 a month for eventual camping/practical skills items/classes/goals Quote ~Miranda (aka Farax K) Stars hide your fires for these here are my desires And I won't give them up to you this time around And so I'll be found with my stake stuck in the ground Marking the territory of this newly impassioned soul ~ Mumford and Sons Link to comment

faraxk Posted September 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 Day 3: A busy day and a sleepless night left me pretty ill equipped for the day. I did go to a swim lesson with my daughter and ate Paleo all day. Day 4: 10 minutes of yoga Ate Paleo today but a little too many carbs Starting Meditation shortly before bed Quote ~Miranda (aka Farax K) Stars hide your fires for these here are my desires And I won't give them up to you this time around And so I'll be found with my stake stuck in the ground Marking the territory of this newly impassioned soul ~ Mumford and Sons Link to comment
