Heidi: Eat, Sleep & Be Merry

Eat, Sleep & Be Merry

Completely Reworked Goals on 2/24/2015

Wow. For the last year, I have been really pushing hard. It’s time to stop, regroup, and restore.

I’m a hardcore minimalist, and this challenge I’m keeping my goals lean and trim:

  1. Eat. Eat well. Last challenge I noticed that I wasn’t eating, not because I was full or because I was mindfully fasting but because I couldn’t be bothered. Wait. What? I love food. But I left it until late in the day, and we all know that 50-75% of our calories should come before dinner. And I know that carbs, especially in the evening, are a real drain on my energy and my health.

  2. Sleep. Lights out at 11 p.m. Yes, really. If I’m not rested then there is no way that I can perform, and it’s beyond stupid to expect anything different.

  3. The Joy of Quiet time. Every day. Be joyful, and be still. They aren’t as mutually exclusive as we tend to assume.

Nice challenge! Lots of stuff to do and keep track of... but as you are working on the same goals over a year probably realistic. I too am up to round 2 of my year long set of challenges. I look forward to seeing how you go!

Welcome back!

What is the basis of your thesis?

Are you settling into your new job?

Thesis: Personal Behavior, Public Policy and Justice: How to Eliminate AIDS in One Generation and Why It Is A Moral Imperative To Do So.

Job: sorta. It has hosed my schedule, and I have to spend all day Saturday in solitude in order to recharge. But it's nice to have a paycheck!

Welcome to day one!

I made it to work despite the relentless snow and ice. Schools are closed for the sixth school day in a row (tenth calendar day), and I'm pretty certain the boys are going to scoff at the idea that they are better off in the halls than at home managing their time and assignments on their own.

 

I thought about the challenge a lot over the weekend, and realized that I need to put in two pieces:

A Fortress of Solitude day on the weekend, preferably on Saturday, to help me restore my calm after such a busy week

and

A pampering element each week, because my creative fires are burning very low right now.

 

Back issues have me doing more stretching at kung fu than punching, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Are we allowed to shoot people who get too close to the fortress? Please?

I have done really well with food today.

Breakfast was eggs with spinach mushrooms, cheese and ham -- lots and lots of yummy protein -- and a side of bacon.

Lunch was Romaine lettuce, grape tomatoes, more bacon, and grilled chicken cubed up and tossed with a little balsamic vinaigrette.

 

Work has impacted my kung fu schedule again, but I'm finding that drinking hot water (seriously, no tea leaves or anything, just plain old hot water) has a remarkably calming effect on me, which I desperately need.

 

My heart rate has shot back up again, for no real reason that I can understand. Seriously, who does cardio in her sleep without freaking moving? Apparently I do. But hot water has helped, both during the day and right before I turn out the light.

 

I'm giving myself gold stars for keeping my carbs low, and will be reporting in with T2SC's group on food and weight. I'm not going to drive myself crazy about it or anything -- eating regularly is more important here -- but it would be super awesome to be a bit leaner. Might take all year, but that's not going to stop me from trying.
