At least I'm pretty sure that was your story in Level Up Your Life. How cool is that? You have such an amazing story. 3 Quote Wisdom 22.5 Dexterity 13 Charisma 15 Strength 21 Constitution-13 "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind' Luke 10; 27 Link to comment
annyshay Posted January 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 W.r.t. food experiments, what hit me was that certain food textures compliment other food stuffs, example all the food on your plate shouldn't be soft foods, there must be a change, and then what tastes do you put together. Breakfast this morning were baked eggs, with grilled mushrooms and haloumi cheese. The cheese I just fried in butter, but I added Cajun spice to the mushrooms, and those two together with the eggs, was just yummy together! Or grilled chicken with a bit of orange juice (sauce), and then making broccoli with that.Awesome that you walked away from the Dangerous Doctors' Lounge! Practice a bit more on the cookies . Eish going to Uganda! I assume whom ever organises it have security measures, etc. in place, otherwise they won't get people willing to help? Best of luck and that is such a commitment from you I'm a big fan of food juxtaposition also! Cookies are next. Friggen work stress weakening my resolve... Once work calms down some, I'll get to work out the details for Uganda. I tried your mindful eating. Did fine in the first two bites hen I suddenly realized my toast was gone :/. And I haven't had toast is week's do you'd think it would be easy to slow down and enjoy it! Like you said, simple but not easy. Word.Two bites is better than I did the first few times. Wow you are having an extremely good challenge, keep it up this way. Great videos! I also loved the stuff about the eating Lightning. Nerd-alert, me liky these experiments. And there must be cake, i mean cape, keep the cape (where did that cake come from...?) Will be checking up on you, keep going with the IS!HA! Glad you're here! And you didn't tell me you were a famous nerd!! At least I'm pretty sure that was your story in Level Up Your Life. How cool is that? You have such an amazing story.Look, ma! I'm in a book!!! Thanks. Once I get more time, I'll read the other parts of the book too. 4 Quote Love as thou wilt. Link to comment
annyshay Posted January 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 Day 10 Work was even more nuts yesterday, so I had to make a lot of mindful choices. Do I eat lunch now at my desk or go see the next three patients? Do I go home to work on the presentation for tomorrow, or do I go to my swing class. Nourishing Eating - lunch at the computer, had a bagel (mindfully) for dinner so that I could go to swing class (instead of heading home for more traditional fare), but I still managed to have 4 servings of vegetables and a few cookies Close enough! Nourishing Movement - liiiiiiindy hop class (had to answer a page in the middle, which sort of threw off my focus) Nourishing Sleep - lights in the morning, screens after 8pm (meditation app and transit app to get home) Keeping Track - yup To work, later! 5 Quote Love as thou wilt.

Lightning Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 I think you should get extra points because geez, you're Dr. Annyshay. I can only imagine how hectic that work environment is and you just flow with everything and somehow keep finding ways to fit in time to take care of yourself. Your cape must store extra energy so you can get so much done. 5 Quote Level 23 Assassin Current Challenge "Nothing is true; everything is permitted" Link to comment
Son of Rylos Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Doubly agree with Lightning!! You work so hard Shay and you definitely deserve some bonus points for making GREAT decisions despite highly stressful times. You're doing very awesome Doctor! 2 Quote Link to comment

Mrs Van Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 You need to cut yourself some slack, Anny! As Lightning put it - your a doctor in a crazy, stressed environment, and sometimes sleep and taking a break might just be all you need at that moment, so take it! Nothing is going to be done if you run yourself into the ground. If I was closer, I'd pull a "mother-says-get-in-to-bed" stunt on you, BUT ... AWESOME on being kind to yourself at the end! Super that you took some time chatting to your former roommate. Really wish I was closer to help you 4 Quote Mrs. Van's Latest Challenge Zechariah 4:6 "Not by might, nor by power, but by My spirit, saith the Lord." Link to comment

annyshay Posted January 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 Day 13 Yesterday, I decided that today would kick butt. And it did. Behold! Nourishing Eating - no screens, excellent choices (including dark chocolate and dark dark wine) Eating the Moment - Experiment #3 - took just one bite of a pastry in the doctor's lounge. Savored the sweet, sticky, apple-y goodness. Got some tea and moved on with my life. Mmm mmmm good. Eating the Moment - Experiment #4 - ate dinner with my left hand, which was amusing. Turns out the angles are much more difficult to manage with my non-dominant hand. Definitely made me pay attention to my chicken and sauteed zucchini. Nourishing Movement - IS2w3d4 Warm UpStrength and Power CircuitsThree times through the following with 2 minutes of rest in between circuits.Broad jumps - smooth & solid x3Shrimp Squats (yoga block) - smooth & solid x2, rough & solidChin ups (jump, hold, negative) - smooth & solid x3Tuck L-sit - rough & solid x3 (but it's like actually happening for a few seconds, w00t w00t)Jogging in place for 1 minute, the 1 minute rest. Repeat thrice! Yoga block shrimp squats are definitely the way to go for now. I put two blocks flat next to each other. Lets me go deeeeeeepeer... Nourishing Sleep - first day with my fancy new light! it's really nice to wake up to a fake sunrise and then bask under 10X lumens. Screens off at 8-ish. Keeping Track - all awesome recorded Take that, busy. 5 Quote Love as thou wilt. Link to comment
