I'm thinking I might actually do things differently, at least for this challenge and just wanted to run it by you guys to see if it's ok if I join given I am bastardising the rules.
I've been toying with not weighing in this challenge because I find if I plateau or gain weight it gives me a case of the fuckits which runs against everything I am trying to achieve. I already have my spreadsheets set up to calculate hypothetical weight loss based on cals in vs cals out, so can I weigh in hypothetically, based on my progress rather than actual weigh ins, and do an actual weigh in at the end?
I feel like we had 2 weeks of summer and then it back pedalled and we have been stuck with cold wind and jumpers ever since. I got a winter scarf back out of the cupbord the other day! Its just rediculous
huh, I'll have to look into that. I am feeling like I am just kind of stagnating on duolingo (but that might be because I am just doing the bare minimum to maintain the streak...)
Warrior may be basic, but it gets the job done
That is mostly true, but I find it motivating to think of something to at least title the challenge. Just calling it "unchallenge" or "me doing more of the same" makes it really hard to find motivation. The actual content of said theme doesn't matter so much as having something creative to do at the launch. I need some hype
Getting ready to start the second half at a run
Actual birthday doesn't happen until the end of the challenge, but unlikely we will do anything major. I already got my gift, which was my tattoo that we had done during the pandemic (I got my present early because the pandemic was depressing and I needed something nice)
Thanks, it will be tough to top the first half, but I am going to make a valiant effort
I imagine that by the time I get that old I will just go ahead and live that long out of spite
-----------------------------
Some good progress so far. I didn't have any sugary snack until today, when they had a bunch of treats after church for father's day. Yesterday we had some Korean style BBQ for dinner and I stopped eating after about half of what I usually eat because I was satisfied and Ghostess actually asked me what was wrong. She thought maybe I was feeling sick or something besides the win of stopping when I was full, I still have enough leftover for another meal
Exercise is mostly good in that I went to the park on Friday, but I haven't done my planche leans even once yet. It is just so hot here that I find myself not wanting to anything in the evenings. I may need to rethink this and maybe do it in the mornings that I don't work out or something
Piano practice has been happening but I haven't picked a new song to work on yet.
Aside from the normal challenge stuff, We had to take Ghostlet to the dentist yesterday because his wisdom teeth are coming in sideways and putting pressure on his molars. He got one of them taken out yesterday but it was really tough and they had to grind away a bit of bone from his jaw to get it out. Today his face is so swollen it looks like he is hiding a baseball in his cheek.
That sounds brilliant. Rest of the challenge looks solid too, but mindfulness of the little posives and finding things to be grateful for is so powerful.
