Ugh, post-event brain plus uncomfortable temperature insomnia is rough! Hope the party was reasonably fun at least. Happy home day! Wishing you smooth travels.  

Your aunt sounds like an amazing person and I’m sorry for your loss. I hope you’re doing her the honour of allowing yourself some grief in between supporting your folks and everything else you have going on.    Way to go on your numbers, cholesterol and scale! You are making changes and they have an effect, and that’s freaking awesome!

Thanks for this. I appreciate it, I do.   That is good because I simply was not able.   -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For yesterday:   1. & 2. Done.   3. Did not do, thought about it in the middle of the day and then forgot.   4. Very long walk taken.   5. Darn it, I meant to and didn't.   Both Wednesday and Thursday were full days of work, one with extra hours due to staff illness/vacation. I didn't really get a chance to get as much sleep as I needed to or feel things until Thursday night. Sleep helps so much.   On Friday I mostly hung out and did nothing in particular, which was exactly what I needed to do.

How did you like the push sled?  I kind of want one because I feel like it would be easier on my knees, but I've never tried it before.

Congrats on the weight loss and setting boundaries!

Yay tiny workouts!

On the contrary, running when you aren't feeling it is great mental training, especially for pushing past The Wall that generally hits around mile 20.

Week 2 Friday Went bouldering (+3 xp) and did one new V3 (+2 xp). I also did a bunch of new easier routes and tried a couple of V4s. Those were hard. On one, I couldn't even start the route. I think I need to watch some people do them, but the gym was pretty quiet (not too unusual for a Friday night) so there weren't that many people to watch and they weren't climbing the specific routes I was interested in, at least not while I was watching. The quiet was kind of nice. It has been pretty busy this week. I guess summer is over and everyone is back in the gym. Also did candles and teeth for a short rest.   Needle Blight 3: 7 hp Short Rests: 10 Week 2: 88 xp

At first, the warrior struggled with all the herb gathering. It's not exactly his thing and what's worse, he could bear the hiking but not the squatting and bending in his armor. After a while though, he seems to have a mental switch. Almost as if rehearsing combat scenarios and maneuvers in his head, he begins to move around with much more grace, his moves seeming to flow from one another as he picks up the herbs and tosses them into his pouch.   So I had a few super busy days and fell behind. Caught up today doing three sets of 10s. Then while I was at it, now that finally the weather seems to have cooled down a bit, carried on to do a full on workout circuit like I used to do before the summer 3 month long heatwave.

Gym Garnet: 3 Sauna Star Sapphire: 3 Paint Pearl: 3 Mindfulness Moonbar: 10 ***** Diamond: 6   I'm adding a tiny gym garnet from my tiny workout. Yes, tiny workouts count. One set of lunges.  Nothing else much today. Very tired and demotivated.
