[Hakram, Vivianne, and Catherine, as depicted by AGreatNoodle]  The Challenge of Noontide Sun!  (Flexible Habits - Regular Mode)   Rejuvenate (Sleep Hygiene) ✅✅✅✅   Fortify (Volume Lifting) ✅✅✅   Learn (3d Modeling) ✅✅   Tasks!  Duolingo Sprint - 5/40 Close down Liam's university office✅   Life Updates - had a wonderful date with Liam on Friday. I was so damn tired and I managed to ask Liam for reassurance that a date while I was barely verbal would still be fun. The boy  pivoted into us bringing trade copies of “Die” and reading over curried sweet potatoes and chipotle beef. No notes, it was perfect.  - does anyone do vulture crafts? I was walking in 7 Bridges yesterday and I passed a seagull and a raccoon both deceased on the beach. Their skulls were in good shape, and if I had a beetle pit, it woulda been fun. Sadly I have a no-beetle pit mandate as long as we live in a duplex, but that might change this fall…   [Masego, Indrani, and Akua, as depicted by AGreatNoodle] 

I highly suggest you record yourself reading a book out loud and sending it to your significant other. Very motivating   As mentioned, I used to be better with sleep too and I see me headed your way, so I'm trying to do better.   Exactly. Don't need to get fancy.   Little update for Saturday, fasted for 18 hours and my lunch basically consisted of leftover cheeses and one tortillia I munched on while preparing some mince for bolognese. Since I was feeling full, I put the mince aside and had it over pasta for dinner instead. App says I was about 650cals below my goal, but that's a rough gauge since I did not weigh what I ate. Just to be on the safe side though, and because I kinda suck at estimating, I go with the worst case scenario. Would rather make a mistake and add more than I ate than the other way around. Thanks to the heat and skipping evening coffee, I ended the day with 2,25L of water overall.

Liked that post because good for you, but came very close to an angry react instead because wtf why do people suck so hard. 

Had friends coming over yesterday afternoon, so there was cake and coffee, and then we ordered pizza in the evening. That meant no steps, low TDEE, and massive caloric intake. Today we were meeting up with friends - the kind of thing that always ends up as a food extravaganza. So again, no steps, low TDEE, and massive caloric intake. Suffice to say that the weekend counts as "food shenanigans", and that I'll be on damage control for pretty much the entire week...   But I have seen almost all the European Championship matches so far, either with my complete attention, or in the background with me paying far too much attention to the telly and not enough to the table guests... 😇   Got into bed at a reasonable hour tonight, but the amount of sleep I got was less than stellar. TimovieDaughter had a panic attack in the middle of the night. She's very susceptible to certain imagery, and a classmate had shown her a (fake) YouTube video about a singer dying on stage, which suddenly got her worked up and unable to calm down. It took us until 4:30 in the morning to finally get her to sleep... 😱   We've been taking her to a psychologist for the last two years, but feel we've hit something of a ceiling there, so have been trying to get her to see a psychiatrist - with a slew of additional tests. We're obviously still looking for the magic formula that makes us able to calm her down when she gets like this, or the right kind of coping mechanisms for her to not get herself worked up like this... Frankly, the end of the school year can't come soon enough... 😔       ALL THE THINGS! - Forum posting: ✅ - Sports watching: ✅ (cycling highlights, European Football Championship galore) - Alcatraz prep: ✅ (mainly while playing Tennis Elbow 4) - Darts practice: ✅ (got some "surprise" throwing in because our friends sent a message that they'd be late 😁) - Chess: ✅ (daily puzzles, all the vote chess matches, just a few daily chess matches since I'd done most of the work on Friday already) - Words of Wonders: ✅ (daily puzzle, and a number of extra puzzles) - Tennis Elbow 4: ✅ (3 junior Roland Garros qualifiers) - Stray: ✅ (restarted the game, played the first three chapters, eager to continue) Conclusion: I did ALL THE THINGS!     Log so far:   Week 0   M T W T F S S Intermittent fasting               Calorie intake               Calories spent               Calories in/out deficit               Curfew               Sleep               Avg. sleep 6h17 Steps               Avg. steps 9.2K Distance 23.32 km Workouts 1.1 Days with (mini-)workouts 5 ALL THE THINGS!                     Yesterday, I talked about checking out Amon Amarth, but probably leaving their gig early. The reason is Brant Bjork Trio, the band by the former Kyuss member. His type of psychedelic stoner / desert rock is probably going to be a welcome "cool down" period just before the end of the festival's first day.   Brant Bjork - Love Is Revolution

New challenge, that I will update to be an actual something soon!    

I'm still alive! I haven't completed wrap-up of my last challenge, and haven't begun to prep for this one because: I ripped out my bathroom and have been spending my very nonexistent free time trying to get it usable - still just have a toilet that needs a bucket to flush, but at least now I have a plumbed in bath and an upstairs neighbour with a shower I can use, and also my bro-in-lo came round to help panel today as I absolutely did not have enough hands to do it myself I had a quartet singing gig at a wedding on Friday, and a concert with my chorus and quartet on Saturday which was a lot to be focussing on/prepping I applied for a bunch of jobs in the last week or two and have two interviews this week, one 9am tomorrow morning on site(!) and one Tuesday afternoon online - both have 10min presentations which I'm currently trying to prep, with the several hour side-quest of bathroom panelling!   Right, will update more at some point I have some time  but I WILL be starting tomorrow back on calories and exercise and the like

I did the Gemmi Pass again yesterday but it was really dangerous. Snow should have melted by now but above 2100 metres there was still snow.   You can see the path on the left in the first photo 💀    

Sounds like the day was productive at least.
