Jupiter Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 Hey nerds, Jupiter here. So I'm a little late to this challenge. Work has been kicking my butt lately (more than usual), but I'm going to try to be here and do what I can. My list of goals: - Strength training - Yoga - Eat healthy breakfast/dinner - Revise my novel - Read - Meditate I should probably be more specific with them but honestly whatever I'm able to do I'm happy with. I just don't want to lose these good habits so even if I can only do one thing for five minutes, I will call it a win. Anyway, let's do this. 9 New Battle Log, Old Battle Log, Current Challenge 2022 Challenges: Challenge 1, Challenge 2, Challenge 3, Challenge 4 2021 Challenges: Challenge 1, Challenge 2, Challenge 3, Challenge 4, Challenge 5, Challenge 6 2020 Challenges: Challenge 1, Challenge 2, Challenge 3, Challenge 4, Challenge 5, Challenge 6, Challenge 7 Link to comment

Jupiter Posted January 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2021 Didn't get much done today. I seem to keep getting up later and later on the weekends and yet I'm just more tired. Anyway, stats: - Strength training - Yoga - Eat healthy breakfast/dinner -- Had cream of wheat for breakfast and a frozen meal for dinner, but it had veggies in it, so I'm counting it. - Revise my novel -- Only got through about a half a page. - Read -- Read most of the day and finished "The Female of the Species" by Mindy McGinnis. I enjoyed it but it was intense. - Meditate Anyway, that's all I've got. 6 1 New Battle Log, Old Battle Log, Current Challenge 2022 Challenges: Challenge 1, Challenge 2, Challenge 3, Challenge 4 2021 Challenges: Challenge 1, Challenge 2, Challenge 3, Challenge 4, Challenge 5, Challenge 6 2020 Challenges: Challenge 1, Challenge 2, Challenge 3, Challenge 4, Challenge 5, Challenge 6, Challenge 7 Link to comment
Jupiter Posted January 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2021 Work was fairly calm today, all things considered. My supervisor let me know that I'm now one of the fastest/biggest producers they have. Maybe that means upper management will leave me alone now. Anyway, stats for the day: - Strength training -- Did 2 sets. Didn't eat much during the day and I was tired, so it was harder than usual, but I did it. It helps that I've added an incentive. I can watch one episode of Agent Carter while I do a workout. This makes it much easier to get through despite the tired. - Yoga - Eat healthy breakfast/dinner -- Had a protein bar for breakfast and rotisserie chicken with frozen veggies for dinner. - Revise my novel -- Spent an hour on chapter 1 and got through about a page. Also wrote out some notes. - Read -- Will do this after I log off. - Meditate Not too bad for a Monday. 7 New Battle Log, Old Battle Log, Current Challenge 2022 Challenges: Challenge 1, Challenge 2, Challenge 3, Challenge 4 2021 Challenges: Challenge 1, Challenge 2, Challenge 3, Challenge 4, Challenge 5, Challenge 6 2020 Challenges: Challenge 1, Challenge 2, Challenge 3, Challenge 4, Challenge 5, Challenge 6, Challenge 7 Link to comment

Jupiter Posted January 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 So, I disappeared this week. My bad. I have surprisingly kept up with things, though. Quick recap: - Strength training -- Did 2 sets once this week. - Yoga -- Did around 15 minutes once. - Eat healthy breakfast/dinner -- Had at least a somewhat healthy breakfast/dinner every day this week. - Revise my novel -- Revised my novel every day except for Friday. The shortest amount of time I spent on it was 20 minutes, longest an hour. Not bad. - Read -- Only 2 days. - Meditate -- Nada. Zilch. Don't know why. Not too bad all things considered. 7 New Battle Log, Old Battle Log, Current Challenge 2022 Challenges: Challenge 1, Challenge 2, Challenge 3, Challenge 4 2021 Challenges: Challenge 1, Challenge 2, Challenge 3, Challenge 4, Challenge 5, Challenge 6 2020 Challenges: Challenge 1, Challenge 2, Challenge 3, Challenge 4, Challenge 5, Challenge 6, Challenge 7 Link to comment
Jupiter Posted January 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 On to today: - Strength training - Yoga -- Did 16 minutes. - Eat healthy breakfast/dinner -- Had cream of wheat for breakfast. I got another rotisserie chicken at the store (these have been a lifesaver) so I cut up some of that and had frozen veggies for dinner. - Revise my novel -- Worked on it for an hour. I decided to write an alternate first chapter. I like what I have, but I'm not sure it really fits with the themes and overall tone of the story anymore, so I wrote up something else, just to see if I like it better. I think I do, but I need to go back through it and revise. I spent an hour today just on the first paragraph though, so I'm not sure if that means yay or nay yet. 😕 - Read -- I read most of the day and finished this book called "Empire of Sand" by Tasha Suri. Pretty decent book. That makes 4 for the year so far. - Meditate I am so, so exhausted. I mostly rested this weekend and I'm still so tired. And stress eating lots of chocolate again. I can't stop eating it. 7 New Battle Log, Old Battle Log, Current Challenge 2022 Challenges: Challenge 1, Challenge 2, Challenge 3, Challenge 4 2021 Challenges: Challenge 1, Challenge 2, Challenge 3, Challenge 4, Challenge 5, Challenge 6 2020 Challenges: Challenge 1, Challenge 2, Challenge 3, Challenge 4, Challenge 5, Challenge 6, Challenge 7 Link to comment

Jupiter Posted January 19, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 Work was quiet today because of the holiday, which I'm thankful for because I was not with it at all. I don't even know how I got up this morning. I was surprisingly better by the afternoon though and was able to get some stuff done. Stats: - Strength training -- Did 2 sets. I wasn't feeling Agent Carter today so I watched an episode of Arrow while working out. Wasn't as hard today as I was expecting. - Yoga - Eat healthy breakfast/dinner -- Had a protein bar for breakfast and leftovers of rotisserie chicken and frozen veggies for dinner. - Revise my novel -- Worked for about 40 minutes. Figured out the first paragraph and got through roughly a page. It's not bad so far. - Read -- I did some quick research and read a non-fiction article or two, so I suppose that counts. - Meditate That's all I got. Onward. 6 New Battle Log, Old Battle Log, Current Challenge 2022 Challenges: Challenge 1, Challenge 2, Challenge 3, Challenge 4 2021 Challenges: Challenge 1, Challenge 2, Challenge 3, Challenge 4, Challenge 5, Challenge 6 2020 Challenges: Challenge 1, Challenge 2, Challenge 3, Challenge 4, Challenge 5, Challenge 6, Challenge 7 Link to comment
