Tuesday 8-30: (I now see that I put Saturday 8-28, Sunday 8-29, and Monday, 8-28. I no longer know what day it is.

 

Walked 7.5 miles

BBWW N/A

No hot chocolate

No Fig Newton/granola bar

Spanish: Harry Potter

Flossing TBD (should do since I didn't last night but tiiiired) -ETA: I tried. I reminded myself that I only need 15 seconds. BUT. I can't find my floss. I did what I could with the 6-inch-radius floss, but that's only 25% of my junctures. Oh well. I passed.

Nice job getting back on the BBWW! How many times a week do you want to try and do that? What are you using for your dumbell rows now?

 

You def got the walking down!!

Thanks! Honestly my official goal now is once a week. There's still weird stuff happening with my life so I want to give myself achievable targets.

 

Dumbbell rows are with a gallon jug full of water. Since it's lighter than recommended I do more reps.

Life continued to be crap today. Stress-ate TWO granola bars. Didn't get all my walking in. Made a life flowchart to cheer myself up.

 

Walked 2.5 miles

Two granola bars

No hot chocolate

Spanish: a little of the new book and some Rosetta Stone flashcards

No BBWW

FULL FLOSSING ACTION - oh god I've been dealing with this crappy too-big floss for so long (like a week) that my gums dissolved into a pile of mush tonight when I finally was able to do a full round. It's still not the ideal floss, although I'm at least back on the horse. I've got a dentist visit in a couple weeks and will ask for extra floss. They're the only ones with the good stuff, the stuff I need, the stuff that really gets in there. Oh my god the one thing I choose to expound on is my fucking flossing... I hope you're able to retroactively ignore all of this nonsense.

There's almost nothing to track today. I spent all day traveling and doing voter outreach. I spent 5 hours on my feet, but most of it was standing still. 

 

Walked... 2-3 miles?

Flossed

No Spanish

No BBWW

Diet goals N/A, but I did resist buying candy when I got home
