TheGreyJedi-Ranger Posted January 10 Author Report Share Posted January 10 Today was actually a pretty good day. My baby was super good, and we had a decent sleep schedule running where she slept but not so much that she won't sleep tonight. My mom and I went for a walk with baby Jedi, and I made this delicious dish - chicken thighs with a cheesy mushroom risotto. There were lots of veggies in it, and it was soooo good. I actually ate three meals today, and none of them were terrible for me health-wise. As a matter of fact, we haven't gone out to eat practically at all since we've been here. And that's really what I've been trying to avoid with the cooking. Even if I don't get all three cooked meals in a week, I'm really happy about the way things are going right now. After this meal, my planned meals for the week are as follows but not in this order: Egg fried rice Chicken Broccoli Cheese Rice Tuna Noodle Casserole Now to go work on some of the stuff I study for work until time to bathe my baby and then myself. 2 1 Quote Grey Jedi Ranger Jedi's Hero Journey Part III: Baby Steps Are Still Forward Movement Jedi Battle Log “Keep Calm, Carry On, and Don't Freeze Up!” - Oboro Shirakumo (Loud Cloud), My Hero Academia Vigilantes Challenges: #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, #8, #9, #10, #11, #12. #13, #14, #15, #16, #17, #18, #19, #20, #21, #22, #23, #24, #25, #26, #27, #28, #29, #30, #31, #32, #33, #34, #35, #36, #37, #38, #39, #40, #41, #42, #43, #44, #45, #46, #47, #48, #49, #50, #51, #52, #53, #54, #55, #56 Link to comment

TheGreyJedi-Ranger Posted January 13 Author Report Share Posted January 13 Past few days have been decent, honestly. My grandmother cooked last night, and we scrounged tonight. Tomorrow I'm making the fried rice - or planning on it anyway. Today I talked to my boss and for the next two weeks I'll be working 10 hour weeks (about 2 hrs a day) until Feb 1 where I start back to my 24 hr/week for the forseeable future. It's money we need, and I need some structure back in my life again. I finally managed to address my health insurance issue; got decent coverage for myself and my daughter at a decent price. I hate dealing with it, but at least I'm covered now. I schedule appointments for my postpartum checkup (i'm almost two weeks overdue so far, we'll see how far it gets), my primary care doc to deal with my galbladder, and find myself a therapist. My goals for the rest of the evening are to do some work related studying, get a shower, and then cuddle up and read either with a cup of coffee or my newborn. Or both, I haven't decided. OH! I also recorded some tiktoks to post over the next few days. Which brings me joy because I enjoy talking about fanfiction. I'm hoping to try doing cosplay videos, but when I tried that yesterday my newborn said absolutely not, I need mommy right now. Hope everyone has a great day/night! 2 Quote Grey Jedi Ranger Jedi's Hero Journey Part III: Baby Steps Are Still Forward Movement Jedi Battle Log “Keep Calm, Carry On, and Don't Freeze Up!” - Oboro Shirakumo (Loud Cloud), My Hero Academia Vigilantes Challenges: #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, #8, #9, #10, #11, #12. #13, #14, #15, #16, #17, #18, #19, #20, #21, #22, #23, #24, #25, #26, #27, #28, #29, #30, #31, #32, #33, #34, #35, #36, #37, #38, #39, #40, #41, #42, #43, #44, #45, #46, #47, #48, #49, #50, #51, #52, #53, #54, #55, #56 Link to comment

TheGreyJedi-Ranger Posted January 16 Author Report Share Posted January 16 Wow, it's been a messy few days. First of all, finances are stressful as heck. I don't have the money yet to pay for my insurance so I haven't even gone through to get it straightened out. It's been... a mess. Thankfully, my family has really rallied to help pay for and purchase things. My mom and sister each bought some formula for my kiddo (I'm having to supplement), mom has been buying me groceries, the whole mess of them have gone in to pay the rest of my bills for the month. Second of all, my husband has been waiting for a week and a half to hear back from the corporate for a job he was getting at O'Rilley auto parts to find out that the background check rendered him illeligible for hiring. Mini storytime spoilered. Spoiler It's absolutely stupid because he has a misdemeanor assault and battery on his record and that's it. And he didn't even do what he was convicted of; it was a work related offence from when he was a corrections officer. It happened in May 2019 but with COVID we didn't get a conviction until October of 2021; so it's been barely a year since the conviction. The whole thing is absolutely disgusting. He can't get any kind of work half the time and we are inelligible for any rentals. It's by the grace of my grandmother that we have a place to live right now. On top of that, I've been struggling a bit with nutrition. I'm hungry a lot, likely because I'm breastfeeding my baby. But I never seem to have enough food. And I can't eat too much at once because gallbladder. I don't know what to do with it anymore. I'm so frustrated. I guess technically I'm not focusing on quality of nutrition as much as I'm just trying to focus on not eating out so much. Which I'm succeeding at. I suppose focusing on nutrition could wait until next challenge? Edit: my current theme song 3 Quote Grey Jedi Ranger Jedi's Hero Journey Part III: Baby Steps Are Still Forward Movement Jedi Battle Log “Keep Calm, Carry On, and Don't Freeze Up!” - Oboro Shirakumo (Loud Cloud), My Hero Academia Vigilantes Challenges: #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, #8, #9, #10, #11, #12. #13, #14, #15, #16, #17, #18, #19, #20, #21, #22, #23, #24, #25, #26, #27, #28, #29, #30, #31, #32, #33, #34, #35, #36, #37, #38, #39, #40, #41, #42, #43, #44, #45, #46, #47, #48, #49, #50, #51, #52, #53, #54, #55, #56 Link to comment

TheGreyJedi-Ranger Posted January 18 Author Report Share Posted January 18 nooooooo no walks this week with my mom 😕 my sister got covid and my mom wants to stay away just in case since my daughter is only 8 wks old. And I don't really wanna go by myself - and I don't want to walk around the circle my gma lives in because it's all these judgy older folks. (I say judgy because they're pretty much all terrible people as far as judgemental, racist, classist, etc. My grandmother is not exempt. I love her but she's... got her own issues) I'm going to avoid going out in general, but that's going to tax my mental health honestly. I'll go into detail about why later, I'm currently in a fairly good, relaxed mood and don't want to think about things that make me angry/upset/stressed. On the up side, I'm reading an interesting book about productivity and I'm going to start building a morning routine including my daughter. I somewhat have started to do so in that I'm trying to wake up before 9:30 every morning, but I want to build my ideal morning routine, and then slowly build up the habits over time. 5 Quote Grey Jedi Ranger Jedi's Hero Journey Part III: Baby Steps Are Still Forward Movement Jedi Battle Log “Keep Calm, Carry On, and Don't Freeze Up!” - Oboro Shirakumo (Loud Cloud), My Hero Academia Vigilantes Challenges: #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, #8, #9, #10, #11, #12. #13, #14, #15, #16, #17, #18, #19, #20, #21, #22, #23, #24, #25, #26, #27, #28, #29, #30, #31, #32, #33, #34, #35, #36, #37, #38, #39, #40, #41, #42, #43, #44, #45, #46, #47, #48, #49, #50, #51, #52, #53, #54, #55, #56 Link to comment

Thanks ❤️ I'm always up for hugs tbh. I don't know if I can say things are better as much as I'm in a mostly better headspace. The past couple days were iffy and slothy, but I'm getting my head back on straight and- once I set up my planner for next week - will be getting a quick shower and trying to get to bed early tonight. Figured out the insurance stuff mostly after several long phone calls. I have another one to make tomorrow unfortunately, but I at least have my insurance together for my daughter's doctor's appointment on Tuesday. I'll be paying $30 instead of $300. And I can call the OB and a primary care doc to get my postpartum care(3 weeks late) and start the ball rolling on gallbladder surgery. 1 Quote Grey Jedi Ranger Jedi's Hero Journey Part III: Baby Steps Are Still Forward Movement Jedi Battle Log “Keep Calm, Carry On, and Don't Freeze Up!” - Oboro Shirakumo (Loud Cloud), My Hero Academia Vigilantes Challenges: #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, #8, #9, #10, #11, #12. #13, #14, #15, #16, #17, #18, #19, #20, #21, #22, #23, #24, #25, #26, #27, #28, #29, #30, #31, #32, #33, #34, #35, #36, #37, #38, #39, #40, #41, #42, #43, #44, #45, #46, #47, #48, #49, #50, #51, #52, #53, #54, #55, #56 Link to comment
TheGreyJedi-Ranger Posted January 23 Author Report Share Posted January 23 One thing I've noticed recently is that I always end up redirecting after the first couple of weeks of a challenge. Or otherwise struggling. Right now I'm peeking at my tracking page and it's.... interesting. My walks went off the rails, the movement isn't happening like I'd want it to be. Stretching is okay, water drinking is great. While my 'cooking' goal looks bad, it's actually doing exactly what I want it to do (which is keep me from eating food out). I guess the best way to look at it is that I'm at a point where I'm seeing places where I need to make adjustments for the next challenge. It's frustrating because it makes me feel like I don't actually win a challenge or whatever, but I figure out my next steps. Which is almost more valuable. For example, my halfway mark notes are: Next challenge I'm going to nix the stretching goal. I'm pretty decently flexible right now and while I'll keep moving around and stretching with workouts I don't need the every day push for it moving forward My cooking goal is going to swap to a fruit/veggies goal I think. I'm mostly back in the habit of cooking my own food and I'm not eating out hardly at all anymore like I was in Indy (curse you Uber eats....) In relation to cooking, I may make it a goal to meal prep one meal a week- either breakfast or lunch. I struggle to eat anything that early in the day now. My workout goal needs to be reworked next time because I'm still trying to figure out what I'm going to do for workouts around here. I may do yoga videos, or possibly dance fitness type things. Not sure. Actually probably not dance fitness, I can't really do cardio based stuff for a while (too bouncy while I breastfeed) Another goal I may make is to read a certain number of books. Or a certain number of nonfiction books. We shall see. I've read 8 books so far this challenge and I'm about to finish a 9th! So I'm trying to really focus on what I learn from a challenge. Maybe a habit isn't right for me, and that's okay. 2 Quote Grey Jedi Ranger Jedi's Hero Journey Part III: Baby Steps Are Still Forward Movement Jedi Battle Log “Keep Calm, Carry On, and Don't Freeze Up!” - Oboro Shirakumo (Loud Cloud), My Hero Academia Vigilantes Challenges: #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, #8, #9, #10, #11, #12. #13, #14, #15, #16, #17, #18, #19, #20, #21, #22, #23, #24, #25, #26, #27, #28, #29, #30, #31, #32, #33, #34, #35, #36, #37, #38, #39, #40, #41, #42, #43, #44, #45, #46, #47, #48, #49, #50, #51, #52, #53, #54, #55, #56 Link to comment

I think you've done great in this challenge AND you're setting up a good mindset. I'm so proud of you!! Thank you!! It's hard when I'm looking at the numbers and it's not reflecting what I've learned, but I know I'm doing my best. And I need to stop treating my life like it is going to magically be exactly like it was before my baby was born. My priorities are different and that's as it should be. 1 Quote Grey Jedi Ranger Jedi's Hero Journey Part III: Baby Steps Are Still Forward Movement Jedi Battle Log “Keep Calm, Carry On, and Don't Freeze Up!” - Oboro Shirakumo (Loud Cloud), My Hero Academia Vigilantes Challenges: #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, #8, #9, #10, #11, #12. #13, #14, #15, #16, #17, #18, #19, #20, #21, #22, #23, #24, #25, #26, #27, #28, #29, #30, #31, #32, #33, #34, #35, #36, #37, #38, #39, #40, #41, #42, #43, #44, #45, #46, #47, #48, #49, #50, #51, #52, #53, #54, #55, #56 Link to comment
TheGreyJedi-Ranger Posted January 27 Author Report Share Posted January 27 I think one of the biggest hurdles I've been dealing with as I figure my life out in this season is routine. I have a newborn. She's not on any kind of schedule at this point, and honestly you can't really schedule a kiddo this young. Not from what I've seen. Now I do have a vague idea of when she'll get hungry and when she'll sleep for the night and when she needs a nap, but it's not very solid. On top of that, I'm struggling to get a morning and evening routine together. Evening routine because I end up doing a decent bit of my work for the day after 7pm. Morning routine because I end up exhausted from going to bed late since I'm working late at night. Now to be fair, I'm working late at night because I currently live with my grandmother. She's... a handful. And I'm having to keep an eye on her as well as take care of my daughter. I do my best work when they're both sleeping. The concern I have is that I'll be working more starting next week based on my hours and that's honestly terrifying. I'm afraid I won't have the time to get things done that I want to. 3 Quote Grey Jedi Ranger Jedi's Hero Journey Part III: Baby Steps Are Still Forward Movement Jedi Battle Log “Keep Calm, Carry On, and Don't Freeze Up!” - Oboro Shirakumo (Loud Cloud), My Hero Academia Vigilantes Challenges: #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, #8, #9, #10, #11, #12. #13, #14, #15, #16, #17, #18, #19, #20, #21, #22, #23, #24, #25, #26, #27, #28, #29, #30, #31, #32, #33, #34, #35, #36, #37, #38, #39, #40, #41, #42, #43, #44, #45, #46, #47, #48, #49, #50, #51, #52, #53, #54, #55, #56 Link to comment
