Jupiter Shows Up


Recommended Posts

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. :)

“I've always believed that failure is non-existent. What is failure? You go to the end of the season, then you lose the Super Bowl. Is that failing? To most people, maybe. But when you're picking apart why you failed, and now you're learning from that, then is that really failing? I don't think so." - Kobe Bryant, 1978-2020. Rest in peace, great warrior.

You can always make it more specific later if you need to, so don't worry about that. Yay habits!

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.

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.

I found your thread! It looks like a really solid list of habits. Strength, yoga, meditation, reading and writing.... all excellent and worthy things.

That sounds like a great complement. Good for you for crushing things at work! :)

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.

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.

Sorry about the tired. I have no solutions, unfortunately, only sympathy. It's good that you're establishing the habit of working on your novel daily, even if paragraph one is resisting you 🙂

Yeah, it'll pass eventually, I just need to ride it out. I did also figure out the first paragraph. Thanks! :)

Chocolate releases happy hormones, take the happy where it comes. Your 'done' list is fantastic, doubly so since you're feeling tired!

 

Yeah true. Problem is, my acne is really bad now so I need to find a way to cut back. And thanks! :)

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.
