Tobbe Posted September 13, 2021 Report Share Posted September 13, 2021 Tobbe Gets Ready for CNF So I, ehh, did a thing. I put down the deposit for Camp Nerd Fitness 😱 I'm super excited! 🙌 But I also realized I haven't fitnessed in like nine months (last challenge I did was Dec '20) 🙈 That changes now! People seem hesitant/scared/worried about signing up for camp because they're afraid they not nerdy enough. Or that they're not fit enough. Or they're afraid of going alone, or haven't traveled much. Or just generally that they won't fit in. They needed to use their 20 seconds of courage for those reasons. Personally I'm not worried about any of that. For me it's all about the cost of it all 💸 When I think about parting with all that money I feel slightly sick to my stomach 🤢 The deposit is refundable though, so I might still pull out. But either way, this feels like a great reason to start moving my body again! Since I've been away from all of this for so long I'm going to start off small and set goals that are physically easy for me. The challenging thing about the goals will be the time commitment and staying consistent. And not letting the goals take away any more of my sleep. I already don't sleep enough, but whenever I need to get more things done, sleep always seems to be the thing I don't prioritize enough 😴 Goals Keeping it simple by following the standard NF goalsetting guidelines "Pick 1-3 goals related to workouts, nutrition, and/or mindset to work on over the next 5 weeks." Workouts 20 minutes deliberate movement per day, any kind. Or 6000 steps. Nutrition Winter is coming. Which means it's time for vit D. Take vitamin D, Omega-3 and B12 daily. Mindset Meditate once a day. Relaxing, closing my eyes and taking a few deep breaths is enough. Doing anything more than that is neither better nor worse. And because I'm only human I'll give myself seven days in each of the categories that I'm allowed to skip (but never two in a row).

Tobbe Posted September 13, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2021 I've run in to a small hiccup. Found an almost full bottle of B12, so no problem with that. But! We're out of Ω3. And my regular Vitamin D. But today I had salmon for lunch, so I hopefully covered my Ω3 needs. And I took four of our kid's vit D pills. So I think I managed to cover all my bases today. But need to place an order for the stuff I'm out of. Took a 30 minute walk with my wife this evening and just finished a super short meditation session.

Good to know I'm not the only one thinking it's expensive I realize I'm super privileged, but my problem isn't that I don't have the money. I do. But should I really spend it on something as "unnecessary" as a camp, or should I be more of an adult and invest the money in a retirement fund instead? Or not be so egotistical and instead put the money towards a vacation with the entire family?

Tobbe Posted September 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2021 Yesterday I failed badly No meditation and no 20 minutes of activity. My wife was home all day, and I know that whenever I try to do any kind of physical exercise, and she sees it, she always asks me "What are you doing!?" in a stern voice and gives me the most unapproving look. I know she's just worried I'm falling back in to old orthorectic behaviors. And also maybe feeling bad for not getting any exercise in herself. Either way it makes me hesitate before I do anything. Trying to sneak some exercise in when she doesn't see it. Not doing any meditation is all on me though. I just kept pushing it forward. "I'll do it after breakfast". "I'll do it during my lunch break". "I'll get to it after work", etc all day long... I did take my vitamins though, the ones I had at home at least. Also placed an order for new Omega 3 and Vit D pills. Look at me being an adult Today I did better, completing all my tasks. (My wife left for a night at a spa resort around lunch time today, so no weird looks when I did 20 min of yoga this evening.) I got to admit though that meditation was a bit difficult today. Trying to calm down and letting my thoughts go I felt my heart racing and I couldn't stop thinking about all the things I needed to get done. Things I should be doing instead of just sitting still doing nothing. It really stressed me out. I guess that's exactly when you need the meditation the most, but it was really difficult.

Tobbe Posted September 16, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2021 Just got this in my inbox. Again, what have I gotten myself in to!? 😱 500 people! 😰 I don't do crowds. Everyone always seems to form groups, or already be groups, and I find it super difficult to get in to those groups. As for today's goals I've done good. I did a "power circuit" workout. Squat hops are brutal! Meditation went much better today than yesterday. I decided to scale it back. No expectations on myself. My mind still wandered a lot, but that's ok. No racing heart, no panicy feelings. Week 1 M T W T F S S 🚶♂️🏋️ ✔ ❌ ✔️ ✔️ 🌱💊 ✔ ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ 🧠🧘♂️ ✔ ❌ ✔️ ✔️ Before I go I also wanted to show off these shoes I ordered today. I don't like shopping for shoes (or clothes). So when I find a pair of shoes I like I buy them, and then I wear them every day, all year round. From the hottest summer day to the coldest winter days until they're 100% worn out. Which usually means no threads left on the soles, broken heel cap and torn fabric. I bought my current shoes in June, 2017. It was these Reebok Trailgrip RS 5.0 GTX And the new ones I'm getting are the Adidas Terrex Agravic GTX. Unfortunately I'll have to wait over a week for delivery 😕 But I hope the fit is as good as their looks! 2 Quote Challenge 21 - Tobbe Goes Running in the Dark | Challenge 20 - Tobbe Gets Ready for CNF | Challenge 19 - Tobbe has Nutrition and Fitness Goals | Challenge 18 - Tobbe is like Jace | Challenge 17 - Tobbe Keeps a Journal | Challenge 16 - Tobbe Builds an E-commerce Site | Challenge 15 - Tobbe and the Journey | Challenge 14 - Tobbe Goes to Sleep | Challenge 13 - Tobbe Kills Zombies | PvP - DailyDare NerdFitness Edition | Challenge 12 - Tobbe tries not to do all the things | Challenge 11 - Tobbe Becomes a Yogi in South East Asia | Challenge 10 - Tobbe Becomes a Yogi | Challenge 9 - Tobbe Gets Productive | PVP - The Last Darebender | Challenge 8 - Tobbe's 100 days of food freedom (part 2) | Challenge 7 - Tobbe's 100 days of food freedom (part 1) | Challenge 6 - Tobbe becomes a Recovery Warrior | Challenge 5 - Tobbe fights the dinosaur | Challenge 4 - Tobbe catches up and pleases his wife | PVP - Rise above the pull-up bar | Challenge 3 - Tobbe eats like a ... | Mini challenge - Students gonna ranger | Challenge 2 - The Necessities | Challenge 1 - Let's get this challenge thing going | The Intuitive Eating Support Group | TODO 2019 PvP | Battle Log (>>) Link to comment

I don't know your full situation, I'm just vaguely aware of what you've shared of your history. That being said, I felt I had to apologize to my husband the other day because he's been actively making changes but I've been a bit impatient and unfairly judging his actions based on our/my own baggage and history. I wasn't allowing for the fact that he is actively working on something and I need to react according to the new MrC, not the previous. It's hard. Maybe a gentle reminder and request for patience as support is the thing? I see that you have it "on your list." I hope it goes well!

Tobbe Posted September 19, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2021 Thank you for your input @Chesire 8 hours ago, Chesire said: Maybe a gentle reminder and request for patience as support is the thing? I've asked her for support *so* many times. To be honest though, it's probably not been as gentle as it could/should have been. I know it's most likely sugar coated. But whenever I hear about couples saying things like "He/she is my best friend, my biggest supporter and always cheers me on in whatever I do", when I hear that I always think to myself "I've never had that, why?". I count myself lucky as long as I don't hear too much moaning and complaining. Getting support or help is almost unheard of, and if/when we try it always ends up with us fighting. But she's also put up with me when I was really struggling mentally. And that can't have been easy. I know I was extremely selfish at times. I did and said things I'm really not proud of. Things I know really disappointed her, and rightfully so. And she lets me do my things. Like CNF. I know that if I want to go, she'll let me. And if I want to just take off for a week on my own, she'll let me do that. And she does a lot more of the household chores than I do, because she knows I find it even more boring than she does. And she takes pretty much full responsibility for everything that has to do with our kids because she knows I don't care as much. (Except, of course, when she's working or away. Then I do what's needed.) Honestly I really couldn't ask for a better mother for my kids. I mean, she's not perfect, but what parent is, right? But she does an awesome job raising them, loving them and helping them. 1 Quote Challenge 21 - Tobbe Goes Running in the Dark | Challenge 20 - Tobbe Gets Ready for CNF | Challenge 19 - Tobbe has Nutrition and Fitness Goals | Challenge 18 - Tobbe is like Jace | Challenge 17 - Tobbe Keeps a Journal | Challenge 16 - Tobbe Builds an E-commerce Site | Challenge 15 - Tobbe and the Journey | Challenge 14 - Tobbe Goes to Sleep | Challenge 13 - Tobbe Kills Zombies | PvP - DailyDare NerdFitness Edition | Challenge 12 - Tobbe tries not to do all the things | Challenge 11 - Tobbe Becomes a Yogi in South East Asia | Challenge 10 - Tobbe Becomes a Yogi | Challenge 9 - Tobbe Gets Productive | PVP - The Last Darebender | Challenge 8 - Tobbe's 100 days of food freedom (part 2) | Challenge 7 - Tobbe's 100 days of food freedom (part 1) | Challenge 6 - Tobbe becomes a Recovery Warrior | Challenge 5 - Tobbe fights the dinosaur | Challenge 4 - Tobbe catches up and pleases his wife | PVP - Rise above the pull-up bar | Challenge 3 - Tobbe eats like a ... | Mini challenge - Students gonna ranger | Challenge 2 - The Necessities | Challenge 1 - Let's get this challenge thing going | The Intuitive Eating Support Group | TODO 2019 PvP | Battle Log (>>) Link to comment
Tobbe Posted September 19, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2021 Yesterday was a good day. I was home alone with the boys. I played Settlers of Catan with my older son and Catan Jr with my younger son. We all played foosball. My younger son helped me outside for like three hours insulating the foundation of our house. They both helped cook lunch. In the evening I put on a movie for them and they had some candy. I think all three of us were happy with the day. And no wife to fight with, and no two-and-a-half year old daughter who is either screaming for no apparent reason, or constantly demanding attention. I have so much more energy when I don't have to deal with all that. And for my goals: In the past I've sometimes had a hard time remembering to take my vitamins, but now I've placed the bottles right in front of me below my computer monitor, so no trouble remembering anymore. #hackyourbatcave Working outside for several hours got me the exercise needed for the day. Right before bed I sat down and meditated for a bit. Only so I could check that box for the day. Didn't really feel like I needed it.

Tobbe Posted September 19, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2021 Another good day. Another day spent with just my boys. Gave my younger son a ride to his soccer practice, and then we ran some errands. Got home and cooked lunch. After lunch he and I worked some more on the house and I also helped my older son work on his bike that needs a new bearing in the back wheel. My wife got back home at about 8 pm. And while I didn't miss her, I did miss the physical human contact a hug from her provides. Human touch is important for me.

Mad Hatter Posted September 20, 2021 Report Share Posted September 20, 2021 Aww sorry to hear your relationship hasn't really improved. It must be so hard when you have a family. But I'm glad you're finding ways of bonding with your kids. Quote Link to comment

I did set the bar really low though But I'm happy with how it does make me move a little bit more every day now than I did before the challenge. 1 hour ago, Mad Hatter said: Aww sorry to hear your relationship hasn't really improved.

Thanks for checking in ❤️ The older the kids get, the easier I find it is for me to enjoy spending time with them 2 Quote Challenge 21 - Tobbe Goes Running in the Dark | Challenge 20 - Tobbe Gets Ready for CNF | Challenge 19 - Tobbe has Nutrition and Fitness Goals | Challenge 18 - Tobbe is like Jace | Challenge 17 - Tobbe Keeps a Journal | Challenge 16 - Tobbe Builds an E-commerce Site | Challenge 15 - Tobbe and the Journey | Challenge 14 - Tobbe Goes to Sleep | Challenge 13 - Tobbe Kills Zombies | PvP - DailyDare NerdFitness Edition | Challenge 12 - Tobbe tries not to do all the things | Challenge 11 - Tobbe Becomes a Yogi in South East Asia | Challenge 10 - Tobbe Becomes a Yogi | Challenge 9 - Tobbe Gets Productive | PVP - The Last Darebender | Challenge 8 - Tobbe's 100 days of food freedom (part 2) | Challenge 7 - Tobbe's 100 days of food freedom (part 1) | Challenge 6 - Tobbe becomes a Recovery Warrior | Challenge 5 - Tobbe fights the dinosaur | Challenge 4 - Tobbe catches up and pleases his wife | PVP - Rise above the pull-up bar | Challenge 3 - Tobbe eats like a ... | Mini challenge - Students gonna ranger | Challenge 2 - The Necessities | Challenge 1 - Let's get this challenge thing going | The Intuitive Eating Support Group | TODO 2019 PvP | Battle Log (>>) Link to comment

Tobbe Posted September 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2021 Yesterday I went in to the office. Had people from our Stockholm office visiting. And I know my boss wants me to be at the office more often. So I dragged my butt in there. I had a pretty time. It's nice talking to my coworkers. But I just prefer staying at home. No need to spend time commuting. No need to try to find parking. No need to pack lunch. I can have my own schedule. I really like working from home. One good thing was that I got my 20 minutes of workout walking from my car to the office in the morning and from the office back to the car in the evening. But I forgot about meditating until way late in the evening when I was too tired to bother. Today I've been at home all day again. Much better! And I got around to all my tasks.
