Draegon (Liam P Boyle) Posted August 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 Lessons from yesterday: 1. I let SquirrelKing (my metamour aka husband #2) twist my arm into drinking way too easily. 2. Skipping breakfast is a very bad thing for me to do as it tends to trigger my overeating the rest if the day. I need to talk to SWMBO (She Who Must Be Obeyed aka my wife) about keeping more healthy breakfast choices around for me. 3. If I don't meditate in the morning, I have a tendancy to stress eat. 4. Being out of my antidepressants also has me stress eating and bumming cigarettes off of coworkers :-( "STAY QUIT, LIAM!!!" 5. I need to quit hitting the g**d*** snooze button and drag my ass out of bed in the morning. According to the Army I only need four hours a night, I can do this.

I had to go up to the VA hospital yesterday which is about a 10-11 mile trip each way. Google commute estimates: Car - 17 minutes Bus - 2 hours 43 minutes Walking - 2 hours 52 minutes Bicycle - 54 minutes So, to limit the interruption to my family's weekend, I borrowed SquirrelKing's bicycle and rode the hilly route from my apartment to my therapy appointment at the VA hospital. By the time I get back I'm walking bow legged, with sun burnt legs, and bruised man parts. Even with all I ate for dinner yesterday the total calorie count for yesterday's eating would have only been about 1800 or so. My maintenance level is actually around 2500 - 2800 calories a day depending on activity level. Serious calorie reduction on the weekends is pretty normal, breakfast stuff is reserved for the kids, as is the lunch stuff. Not sure what effect this has on my metabolism, but I have a feeling this is one of the factors that keeps me reaching for the mini-doughnuts during the week.

Draegon (Liam P Boyle) Posted September 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 Ok, not sure what the heck is going on with me today. I actually got sleep last night, about 11 hours worth which is much better than the under three hours to five hours I've been getting this week. However, I'm feeling like I haven't slept in a month. The kids are wanting to go down to the swimming pool, but the apartment complex rules state that they can't be there without a parent and I just do not have that type of energy. Anyway, we were out of coffee this morning so I end up having to run to the store with SquirrelKing, and try to keep his goofy ass from squirreling out and over spending ("hey, the dry packet of fajita seasoning only costs a third of the liquid packet you grabbed dude") before caffeine which means I was an extra cranky dragon. SWMBO was quite short tempered as well do to the lack of mandatory morning elixir. I think today is going to have to be a serious introvert couch potato day.

Draegon (Liam P Boyle) Posted September 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 Ok, so no introvert couch potato day for me. Wife is in a music (she likes it fairly loud - fellow introverts, DON'T MARRY A DANCER!!! Lots of music played at volume) mood and a talking mood. SquirrelKing is extra grouchy because he has to work overnight tonight and it's a holiday weekend. PostEmoGirl has a friend over and the kiddo has been in a bit of a mood.

Draegon (Liam P Boyle) Posted September 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 For reference my household is arranged as follows: Myself My wife aka SWMBO (she who must be obeyed) SquirrelKing - an old friend of my wife's who ended up moving in with us when leaving a drug addicted abusive ex. He's very easily distracted and flighty hence the name. PostEmoGirl - SquirrelKing's daughter. She was really into the Emo scene when she first got here she has since just become a "normal" teenager just trying to figure out who she is instead of taking her identity from a group. The Kiddo, Dragonlet, Kidzilla - my son, he's ten and just a sensitive geek in training. Samhain - the cat, mister "I want it meow!" 1 Quote Race: Dragonborn Class: Druid/Monk The Journey to Force Mastery: #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 __ The Legend The Struggle My MFP Profile My Strava Profile Link to comment

The combination of the Quest bar and protein shake seems to have really helped curb the snack cravings today. I think I'm finally getting to where I feel full at a calorie deficit. Admittedly, the goal this challenge was simply to cut back snacking, but why not go for the gusto. I ran by GNC and grabbed some more protein shakes and quest bars to get me through the week. I think I'm relying on my hip flexors a bit too much on my sit-ups, and need to focus more on utilizing my abs. I'll have to see how tomorrow morning goes.

Draegon (Liam P Boyle) Posted September 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 Log for 10 Sep 2016 Took a day off from pretty much everything yesterday. Even though I got sleep I was extremely tired, and my sinuses were acting up pretty badly. Point totals for my challenge goals were adjusted accordingly. I also ****ed up when I got my packets of whey protein from Walgreens. Their brand has added creatine and branched chain amino acids. BCAA are known to cause irritability in some people and interact with SSRI depression medications. Since I just so happen to be on SSRI medication this was not a wise idea. In short I was a flaming alpha hotel all day and couldn't understand why. I was planning on switching to the Kroger all natural whey protein, I think that's going to need to happen sooner rather than later. Sleep: 10 hr 3 min @ 92% efficiency.

During said walk I also did about 20 minutes work of club drills with my walking cane alternative arms. So up and down twirls with forward and reverse wrist rolls. I had packed some leftovers to eat for lunch but a buddy of mine surprised me wanting to take me out for lunch at Taco Hell (not a typo). So I tried to make the best out of it and got the salad. Had a bit of a confrontation with the kids in the evening about chores and laundry. Somehow, despite my wife doing at least one load a day, none of the adults seem to have any clean clothes ever, and there's an ever present overflow of laundry in the kitchen by the washer & dryer. I really need to quit slacking on meditation.
