"Chaos is a ladder" and Richarizard is going to climb it


Recommended Posts

In an iconic Game of Thrones scene, Varys and Littlefinger have differing opinions on the nature of chaos. Varys says chaos is a gaping pit waiting to swallow us all, while Littlefinger says chaos is a ladder. For the past two years, I've been wallowing in a gaping pit of self-pity, but now I'm ready to grab the ladder and climb my way out. I've made up a lot of excuses and convinced myself that "chaos" derailed my weight-loss journey, but the truth is my own thoughts are often my worst enemy. I'm feeling clear headed these days and I'm ready for a respawn. 

 

Lately, I've begun cooking for myself again. My plan this challenge is to cook low-carb meals for myself as often as possible and avoid eating out. I also want to wean myself off of Rockstar energy drinks, which I'm addicted to. I will try to drink coffee and/or Crystal Light instead. I will also try to increase my water intake. And lastly, I want to get back into the habit of taking my dogs on walks. 

 

I'm not going to let the illusion of chaos keep me down. Instead, I will look at chaos as an opportunity to climb and lift myself up.

I'm sure they won't object too much.

 

What are your current numbers for cooking and Rockstar, and what do you hope to get them to during the challenge?

We are not sinners trespassing in the garden of an angry God.

We are prodigals come home; fully seen and deeply loved.

 

Put together enough small wins over a long enough period of time,

and you’ll find yourself in high level gear fighting dragons before you know it.

@Whisper, I've been drinking at least 1 Rockstar daily. I sometimes drink 2 on a stressful work day. Eventually, I want to bring this down to zero, which I've done in the past, so I know it's possible. I don't expect to quit cold turkey though. I may indulge here and there. I'll gradually phase them out. 

 

As for cooking, I've been making omelets for breakfast nearly every day for the past week and I've been enjoying that habit so far. I've also been making salads for myself for the past week or so and enjoying that as well. I bought some new pans and knives recently to inspire some new motivation.
