Okay, this is a post for March 1

This is a post for March 2 

 

I did my workout today!! 

 

FOOD LOG 

 

Breakfast: Customized smoothie from Starbucks with berries, milk, banana, and whey protein powder

[Fluffy_Shark]

This is a post for March 3 

 

I didn't do my workout today  

 

FOOD LOG 

 

Breakfast: Half a coconut energy bar, my customized berry smoothie from Starbucks 

 

Snack: Grande half-sweet white hot chocolate with whip from Starbucks

 

Lunch: One whole avocado, one whole carrot, and some almonds 

 

Snack: One grande half-sweet hot chocolate from Starbucks made with coconut milk with whipped cream on top 

 

Dinner: 1/4 of my homemade cheesecake (barely anyone at work ate the piece I set aside for them, and then my roommate asked me to eat the rest of the cheesecake in the fridge so she wouldn't be tempted to eat it), one whole carrot

 

I didn't want to eat anything the rest of the night and went to sleep

 

It has become abundantly clear to me that most of the time when I make sweets, I will probably end up having to eat most of it. Therefore, I am not going to be making sweets very often anymore. Instead, I will try healthier options. I made a fudge out of almond butter, honey, and coconut oil (thank you chocolatecoveredkatie) and it was VERY good. My roommate was very impressed by it. 

 

Cups of water: 5 

[Fluffy_Shark]

FINALLY. The post for the REAL day. 

 

I did my workout today!! 

 

It was a bit harder today than most days, and I REALLY hope that wasn't because I hadn't been eating the best yesterday. 

 

I also went shopping and got A LOT of healthy foods. The kale alone is taking up an entire shelf. It's a little daunting, BUT I WILL EAT ALL OF IT!!!! 

 

FOOD LOG 

 

Breakfast: One coconut energy bar, one whole carrot 

 

Lunch: ??? didn't really happen 

 

Snack: one banana, one coconut energy bar, one glass of milk 

 

Dinner: TBD 

 

Cups of water: so far 2

30 seconds of arm rotations back

10 full squats 

5 lunges (each leg)

5 push-ups from knees with a pillow underneath to support my knee

I also want to walk for 3 hours if I can. I'm making dinner for other people for the first time ever tomorrow and I'm really nervous and excited!!! The plan is: 

 

Main course: beef stroganoff with egg noodles  

 

Side: Salad made of romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, with chopped pecans 

 

Side: green beans and corn OR roasted veggies with tomatoes, green peppers, and carrots 

 

Dessert: marbled fudge made with white chocolate and bittersweet chocolate 

 

Overall I think it will be pretty healthy (excluding the fudge of course) and I hope my guests will like it! 

 

Alright, let's do this!!!

 

[Fluffy_Shark]

Shoot I didn't realize how long it had been since i had updated this thing... I won't do my food logs for the past 9 days but I'll list when I worked out! 

 

I worked out: 

March 4, 5, 10, 11, and today. So 4 out of 7 potential workouts... could be better, but it could have been worse! 

 

Considering I've always had a problem committing to workouts and keeping that commitment, I'm pretty proud of myself. Pretty much no change in weight at all but I want to take my measurements in the next few days.

 

I could also be eating a lot more vegetables, I'm planning on making an egg and veggie stir-fry tomorrow chockfull of good veggies and kale!

 

Alright, on to today's stats.

 

Workout = the same and completed!

 

FOOD LOG 

 

Breakfast: Chocolate smoothie from Starbucks and a blueberry muffin from there as well

 

Snack: 1 and a half carrots and a grande steamed coconut milk with whipped cream on top (BAD decision)

 

Lunch: Chocolate smoothie from Starbucks

 

Snack: tall caramelized honey creme frappuccino, 1 carrot, and half of a whole cucumber 

 

Dinner: peanut butter and jelly sandwich with strawberry jam and brown bread 

 

Dessert: 6 blackberries and some Kettle brand salt and pepper chips 

 

Cups of water: 4 

 

Overall HORRIBLE in food quality and my constant gassiness is indicating that 

 

Tomorrow is another day!

[Fluffy_Shark]

The plan for tomorrow is this workout.

 

Warm-Up

30 seconds of arm rotations forward

30 seconds of arm rotations back

30 sec front plank 

30 sec side plank

I'd also like to jog for 20 minutes if possible. My Chiro said to only jog for 1 minute and then walk the next, and then jog for a minute, and walk and so on and so forth. I'll also be working for 6 hours on my feet so, we'll see how it goes! 

 

Let's do this! 

 

[Fluffy_Shark]

Oh boy, I'm not even going to bother going back and talking about all the workouts I did and missed so, let's do a short version

 

- I got new exercises from my Chiro that change everyday 

- I got a gym membership 

- I went to a gym by myself for the first time ever 

 

Now, I'm back! I hope to be updating every day. 

 

Today I ran/walked for 4.37km for 46 minutes using Zombies, Run! 

 

I also ate pretty clean today and ended my run with an avocado, banana, honey, milk, smoothie and for dessert had a heaping bowl of roasted salt and pepper brussell sprouts. 

 

Tomorrow I'll rest but I'll be hitting the gym Monday.

 

I'm excited to get back into the game!

 

 

[Fluffy_Shark]

Ahaha okay another long period of time had passed and I've been doing... alright. 

 

My eating hasn't been the greatest and my biggest challenge is meal-planning. I'm going to be reading the meal-planning articles tomorrow so I can start getting back on track with that. 

 

As far as workouts have been doing they've been okay. I have been a lot more active and less sedentary and work has been keeping me on my toes, literally. That's one of the benefits of having a standing job. 

 

I plan to regularly update this like I was before with my food, water, and activity levels for the day. 

 

One big change that has happened is that I now have an accountability buddy, she's been helping me a lot with staying on track. My goal is to work out 5 days a week and avoid excessive sugars and carbs while her goal is to avoid refined sugars. I've always been opposed to the idea of an accountability buddy because I do not like failing others' expectations but at the same time, this really motivates me to make good decisions that I can proudly report back to her on!

 

I have to go now but I will update this post when I get back! 

[Fluffy_Shark]

It's been a while. 

 

I'm respawning and have some new goals and new things i will be tracking.

 

So my goals right now are as follows: 

Physical Health: Complete 2 NF workouts a week for a month  

                              Eat 1 serving of veggies a day for a month

                              Limit myself to 1 sugary treat a day (I currently eat 1-5 so this is a challenge for me)

Mental Health: Read Feeling Good for 10 min-1 hour a day

Art Skills: Practice drawing for 10 min-1 hour a day 

 

My actions to make it happen: 

Physical Health 

Workouts: write workout in bullet journal schedule for that specific day 1 week in advance,  pack gym bag with needed materials and put it on my bed (so I will see it and think twice before just mindlessly reclining on my bed). Progress will be tracked on here, bullet journal, and StickK (There will be a $10 penalty for every workout missed OR rescheduled)

 

Food: Write a veggie to eat that day in bullet journal schedule, make sure I buy lots of veggies on my shopping trips

 

Treats: Keep track of treats consumed in bullet journal and here, for every extra treat, there will be a $2 penalty, always have some kind of healthy snack with me like trail mix

 

Mental Health

Place book on bed and track progress on here and in bullet journal

 

Art Skills 

I have already informed my friend to keep me accountable of this but i will also record my progress in my bullet journal, StickK, and here ($5 penalty on every day missed), Placing sketchbook and medium to use that day on bed

 

Hopefully this new system works. I tried to change too much all at once initially but I think this is manageable. My physical health, my mental health, and my art skills are my biggest priorites right now aside from work and school. 

 

Wish me luck!

 

Reporting will start tomorrow, I've been procrastinating on two assignments due for tomorrow.

 

[Fluffy_Shark]

Okay, so I have restarted the NF e-mail challenges so I have a few more things I want to add on to my daily routine, however, instead of penalties, I think I'll go for rewards instead. I was thinking about it and i have always been motivated more by reward than penalty. Most of my life has been ruled by fear and I hate it. So, here are my new-and-improved goals and rewards: 

 

GOALS

 

Physical: Complete 2 NF workouts a week for a month  

                 Eat 1 serving of veggies a day for a month

                 Limit myself to 1 sugary treat a day (I currently eat 1-5 so this is a challenge for me) 

                 Walk for 5 min a day for a week 

                 Log food for 1 week 

Mental Health: Read Feeling Good for 10 min-1 hour a day

Art Skills: Practice drawing for 10 min-1 hour a day 

 

Rewards 

Physical: If I complete 80% of my physical goals my reward will be a fun new fitness shirt 

Mental: 80% Completion will earn me a fancy new loose-leaf tea from David's Tea

Art: 80% Completion will earn me an anti-fouling glove

 

Actions for Success 

Physical: - Wrote workout in bullet journal night before or a week in advance, Prep gym bag night before and place on bed 

                 - Frozen veggies in freezer will work nicely 

                 - Don't buy sugary things, if given treats, save them and put on top shelf 

                 - Plan time in bullet journal night before

                 - Write down as soon as you eat in bullet journal 

Mental: - Put book on bed 

Art: - Put sketchbook and medium of the day on bed

Everything will be tracked on page in bullet journal. 

 

I have to go somewhere soon but I will be completing my before before-pictures, measurements, and writing my Big Why when I get back 

[Fluffy_Shark]

Alright here is my accountability for February 18

Mental

Art

Not the best day but okay considering how bad my cravings got in the evenings and how crumby I felt in the morning. 

I also wrote my Big Why yesterday! 

 

My Big Why 

 

Self-hate is not a suitable motivator for me, I know this now. 

 

I would say the biggest reason I want to be healthy is so that I won’t be scared anymore; scared of being hurt by others or being hurt my own weakness. I want to be healthy so I can participate in sports without feeling like a failure. I want to be healthy so I can be a strong woman for myself, my friends, and my family. I want to be healthy so I can be strong against the trials in my life, to have the strength to rise up and keep fighting.
I want to be a warrior not just for myself but also for others. 

I don’t want to die because of my health. I want to be able to keep up with my little brother. 
I will be strong for me, but I will also be strong for others.

 

Now I just have to do the Before Photos and measurements. I'll do that after make some progress on my assignment for school. 

 

Now on to today!

I also just ordered my loot, a t-shirt my friend designed of a Insanity Wolf: https://www.teepublic.com/t-shirt/2278674-insanity-wolf?store_id=139268

I REALLY want that shirt so I am very determined to do my quests. 

 

After a finish writing this I'll be creating the tracker in my bullet journal, taking my photos, and doing my measurements. 

 

Yeah Productivity! 

 

UPDATE: 

Well, I didn't do my photos or measurements but I did do my trackers in my bullet journal. 

The biggest reason I didn't finish everything else is because of how messy my environment is, it stresses me out. 

I'm cleaning my room tomorrow, AND making a plan for maintaining it. 

I am proud of my eating though, in terms of avoiding lots of sugar, it's really difficult. 

 

Tomorrow will be better!

Alrighty, a pretty easy day. Should be fun! 

I'm starting to like working out, I don't feel as sore as I did today. Making this Daily Battle Log sure makes a difference though, also the fact I was off work and school last week help to. Hopefully I'll be able to keep it up when school is back in session. I will still be off work for a little while due to some renovations that are happening which is kind of nice. Even though having the money would be great, I desperately needed a break. I haven't had any time off since last year.

 

UPDATE: Okay now time for bed. I'll have to wake up around 4:50am in order to eat before my workout. Hopefully I can do it!

Not great for nutrition but okay for right now. I received the e-mail on seeing where my nutrition is at and right now with two projects due this week and a mid-term, it's not the highest on my priority list right now. I'll get to it eventually though.

Man, this week hit me like a truck, I managed to get everything done but my productivity was awful. Even today I wasted 4 hours watching YouTube videos. I just wanted to watch a few. 

I really struggle with this. It's so frustrating, it reminds me of when I would waste time in High School. I can't seem to stop though, unless it's the last possible minute to work on something. I want to break this. 

 

I'm also noticing I'm easily threatened by others, especially is they are trying to achieve something I am as well. I really don't like feeling this way but it is so automatic. I hate it. 

 

Lots to do today but at least I updated this now. one step forward. 

Let's do this.

I’m the type of person that puts a priority on fitness.

I will do 2 workouts for a month in order to begin doing 3 workouts a week for a month.

 

Art

I’m the type of person that can draw the human form accurately form memory

I will do 10 minutes-1 hour of studying the human body each day by doing figure studies, anatomical studies, and proportion studies in order to draw the human body accurately from memory.

 

 

Mental Health

I’m the type of person that takes responsibility for their mental health.

I will read Feeling Good for 10 minutes-1 hour a day, as well as regularly see a therapist in order to deal with issues surrounding my childhood and self.

 

 

Story

I’m the type of person that will complete my personal project.

I will do 10 minutes-1 hour of work each day in order to write the first draft of my story.

 

 

Geneology

I’m the type of person that is able to effectively help others with geneology.

I will do 2 hours of work each week in order to be able to easily navigate FamilySearch, help others, and be able to confidently do my own geneolgy work effectively.

 

It's nice to know I was already doing these so I guess I'm on the right track! I'll be tracking these in addition to my other goals now.

 

UPDATE 2: Oof yesterday was ROUGH. My anxiety was also really bad though and made it hard to concentrate and get things done, I'm hoping by the time I finish Feeling Good I'll have a better understanding of myself and how to stop those behaviours.

Well, I've still got lots to do today but I'm glad i'm starting the day by doing this at least. It adds a sense of routine to my day. 

 

Let's do this! 

 

UPDATE: Okay, doing well. Just have to do my assignment, and my daily work for Art and I'm good!

UPDATE 2: Haha, I was originally going to do my workout at 4am on the 5th BUT I didn't go to sleep until 5am working on my project so whoops

[Fluffy_Shark]

AhhhhhhhhhhhhHHHHHH

 

Man this week is not starting out that well. 

 

I'd like to blame my anxiety but I know that is only half of the problem. I guess the other half is I'm bad at time-management? 

I really hate it when I have a free day because I always find some way to waste it. I feel so anxious about everything I often procrastinate too long or hate the uncomfortable feeling I usually have when I first wake up so I tell myself "I'll do something fun for a bit to calm myself down" but it never works. Even meditation doesn't work. Exercise sometimes works but then I stress about all the time I used to do that instead of other things. My appointment with my counsellor is coming up so hopefully I'll gain some insight on things. 

 

Anyways, here's how yesterday went down. 

 

MARCH 5

Physical 

- Workout 3A rescheduled for March 7

- Food Log:

Breakfast: Peanut butter crunch CLIF bar plus a handful of trail mix

Lunch: 1 smokie, a summer berry muffin, and an orange

Snack: Chocolate chip CLIF bar

Dinner: Almond fudge CLIF bar and a coca-cola 

 

I was reading an article that CLIF bars are meant to be a nutrient provider for either before or after a workout and shouldn't be eaten just as a granola bar would. However, they make me feel full and I don't really know what else to eat in those situations

My room is a mess but I should get to school to finish some work before my class today. I think I'll eat there, I don't have too much to eat here. I need to be careful with my spending though. It's so hard to balance everything. 

 

Let's go 

 

UPDATE: Although I didn't get a lot done in terms of my goals, I was quite busy with school and managed to get ahead on some assignments so I consider it a good day.

[Fluffy_Shark]

Okay

So I was originally going to do my workout yesterday but ended up staying late at school to work on an assignment, and then I wanted to work out at 4:30am but was too tired this morning. I was honestly going to give up on working out altogether today but then I opened the package which held the t-shirt I ordered for my loot... 

So now I'm going to work out this morning, because that shirt is FREAKING AWESOME. I want it so bad, and that's a good motivator. 

I also have my counselling appointment today so we'll see how that goes! I'm really nervous but hopefully things go well. 

 

MARCH 7 (updated March 10 10:43AM)

Physical 

- Workout 3A Completed!

- Didn't have any veggies...

- Had a mini Smarties Blizzard, 2 Ferrero rocket chocolates, a Rooibos tea latte with whipped cream and cranberry sugar sprinkles so obviously this is a big failure

- Completed!

- Food Log:

Breakfast: 1 serving of oatmeal with 1 1/2 tbsp of maple syrup

Lunch: Vegetarian Calzone 

Snacks??: 1 slice of coconut cream pie, 1 Mars bar, 2 Ferrero rocket chocolates, a Rooibos tea latte with whipped cream and cranberry sugar sprinkles, 1 slice of Hawaiian pizza

Dinner: DQ 4 stir chicken strip basket with a Smarties Blizzard 

 

I failed on food BIG TIME. I became a very emotional eater after my counselling appointment that day

 

Mental 

Completed! Read for 10 minutes

going to do that 'homework' I've been putting off for a while- Not Completed

 

Story 

Completed! Wrote for 10 minutes

 

Geneology

1 hour of work scheduled for March 10

 

Alright let's do this! 

 

UPDATE: I just quickly read some info on muffins and smokies, which is the majority of what I consume at school, I'm not going to eat them anymore, they're not healthy. Instead, I'll have a sandwich if I need to eat something, or if that's not viable, some fruit and nuts, and if that STILL is not enough I'll have a CLIF bar, just to fill me up

 

UPDATE 2: It was a very difficult day and I gave into my cravings, however, considering I had not had fast-food for over 2 weeks at this point I consider that a small improvement

[Fluffy_Shark]

Okay 

Wow 

I fell off the wagon BIG TIME but in my defence my counselling appointment unearthed a lot of unsettling things and i honestly had a hard time dealing with them. On top of that I had a HUGE assignment due on Friday and that contributed even more stress. I ended up only sleeping 1 hour and 30 minutes after staying up for nearly 24 hours after a very stressful day at work. Does this justify my actions? No, of course not, but it allows me to see what circumstances caused me to make the decisions I did.

1 hour of work scheduled for Today (will do after work)

 

I REALLY need to go shopping for some food, maybe I'll do that after work tonight, just so I have some decent things in the house. I keep using it as an excuse to buy things at school or work. I just get so nervous about it for some reason. 

 

Let's do this! 

 

UPDATE: Notes to self while going through quests: 

1. Picking a Cool-Down Exercise

- Next time you workout do Staci's cool down 40 XP 

 

2. Eat Your Calories, Don't Drink Them 

- start tracking drinking no calories starting tomorrow, do it for a week 60 XP

 

3. Customize Your Batcave 

- Start doing the customizations you created: 

My 3 Healthy Habits

1.    1 Treat a dayàworking towards only 6 treats a week then 5, 4, etc

-       Carry trail mix around with you at all times in a baggy if you feel a craving coming on

-       Delete PayRange off your phone so that you cannot access treats as easily

 

2.    Working out 2 days a week, then 3, then 4 

-       Lay out workout clothes and clothes for after shower for less effort

-       Do not leave distracting items in plain sight, put them away after using them if possible + plan 30 minutes a day to tidy room to further reduce distractions

 

3.    Not drinking liquid calories

-       Have a filled water bottle with you at all times

-       Do not keep juices or other unhealthy liquids in the house, if you need a pick-me up at school, drink water and chew mint gum or go for a random run outside in the cold, that will wake you up

 

4. Try a Nerd Fitness Recipe 25 XP

- Pick a recipe

- Buy ingredients for this on your next grocery trip

 

5. Review How To Break Your Sugar Addiction tonight and create a game plan (updated March14)
