Sloth the Enduring Posted January 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 1/20/17 Saturday It was a good day. The missus and Slothgirl went to the Woman's March giving Slothboy and me a day alone together. After dance class we went to a kid's engineering museum and spent hours there. It was fun, but I don't know how repeatable it is so I didn't get a membership. The rest of the day was pretty chill. My ADD is off the charts again. I don't know why, but I'm super spacey. Training: 33 minutes DDP Yoga. No other training; I couldn't train in the cluttered basement because I was so distracted so I picked it up instead. Eating: Still gluten free and all that, but I had a bit of a cheat. I had two gigantic bowls of rice crispies (so about half a box) and faux milk. Not a bad cheat, but it's a lot of simple carbs that I was avoiding. 1/21/17 Sunday It was a good day. Lazy morning. Slothgirl and I ran some errands. We ran in to one of her besties who wanted to make an art sled too so we showed her ours which was still in the back of the rig and I told them how I made it. They ended up making a penguin sled too. Mrs. Sloth was pissed that they copied us. Slothgirl and I reinforced ours with about a whole roll of strapping tape and spray painted it. We're going to have another few days of melting weather so it looks like we'll be riding it down a grassy hill. I spent the rest of the afternoon clearing out our bedroom. We're having a contractor knock down the wall in between the bedroom and the useless closet, do some minor renovations, and fix our leaky chimney. Training: none, mental break day. Brain still feels broken. I think I'll talk to the doc about upping the dose of my ADD meds. Eating: on point. 6 Quote “We might as well start where we are, use what we have and do what we can." – Caitlin Rivers Sloth: The Man with the Hammer battle log Link to comment
Marauder Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 Could it be that your still dealing with insomnia hangover? Forgive me that I can't remember sloth belly protocols but is caffeine banned? Our son's ADD is pretty well managed but a jolt of caffeine seems to get him back on the rails when things get off kilter. We don't generally keep soda etc around and he doesn't like coffee much so it still has a decent effect for him. 2 Quote Rangering since Sept 2015 Link to comment

Insomnia is chronic for me, I'm always dealing with at least a bit of sleep deprivation. I'm sure it's a factor with everything wrong with me. Coffee has has a calming affect on me.

I didn't expect my taste buds to change so fast. I'm curious, if I had a doughnut would it be terrible or even better?

Sloth the Enduring Posted January 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 1/23/17 Monday It's been a good day. I forgot how hard last year's students were on my equipment and had to use my emergency Plan B (Bill Nye video and worksheet). I always feel lame when I do that sort of thing. The kids liked it though because it's Bill Nye and the expectations are clear. We had an emergency union meeting after school about behavior. The president of the union said she brought up the specter of a sick out to the superintendent. I have no idea how this is going to play out, but I'd guess my life will get harder before it might get better. In general I'm very pro-Union, but I've never thought much of my particular union. I'm at circus class with Slothboy and right now and that's going to use up the rest of my day. I bought "Pain Free" by Egoscue at @Lightening's suggestion. It's kind of a DIY PT manual. I'll start giving it a try tomorrow. Training: 22 minutes DDP Yoga. I'd like to do something else after I get the kids to bed, but I'm usually dead to the world at that point. Eating: On point. 8 Quote “We might as well start where we are, use what we have and do what we can." – Caitlin Rivers Sloth: The Man with the Hammer battle log Link to comment

Hmmm, did I really take my pants off? That would have been a while ago. Last year I was so beat down I just sat in the dark and tried not to cry. I haven't gotten back into the train at lunch habit. I should; it'd help the ADD. I have all the gear there, there's no reason not to. 1/24/17 Tuesday It was a good day. I'm feeling awkward having a contractor in the house. I'm not sure what the social protocols are. Yesterday Slothgirl stayed home sick and I had to run home at prep/lunch so Mrs. Sloth could run into work to prepare stuff for her sub. That meant I had to work after-school which cut into the training time. Training: E-cises for the back. These hurt, bad, because my body is stiff and not pliable. DDP Red Hot Core, this also hurt bad because I always ignore my abs. I'm starting to feel anxious about not doing anything except stuff for my back. I view this as a go slow to go fast later, but I really need to ramp it up fast. Eating: on point. 24 days, 7 to go. I had zoodles again last night. I must be past the noodle cravings because I didn't feel deprived. I still don't think they're that good though. ETA: I'm gonna be a suck and not get any training in today.

As far as I can remember anything that sounds delicious is bad for you. I took your advice. I set my alarm to tell me to do push-ups/rows/curls at the three times a day where I always have freedom to do something - right before the kids get there, at the start of lunch, and right after the buses leave. I have the palate of a child; if it isn't pizza, tacos, spaghetti, cheeseburgers, or fried chicken I'm not that interested in it unless it's ice cream or doughnuts. Slothbelly protocols might as well be everything delicious. Officially it's no dairy, no fried foods, and no sugar. No dairy is the only one I've had long-term success avoiding. 5 hours ago, EricMN said: Sounds like a stand-up guy. Just sayin'.

There's a bit of a complication in that our daughters went to school together and our wives know each other, but this guy likes to talk to strangers about as much as I do. So all I have to do say goodbye to him every day. This is the second time we've hired someone since I've moved in. Both times for something that's above my skill set and then some "as long as you're here" add-ons. The amazing thing is how fast they work. Seriously, they do more in half a day than I could do in a month of Saturdays.

Sloth the Enduring Posted January 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 1/26/17 Thursday. It is a good day. It's the last day of the quarter. The kids had a cooperative quiz and we had a celebration. In my room I ran a Minute-To-Win-It game show. It was a blast. In a bit we're going to the Slothling's school for it's 100 year old birthday party dance. Trivia about Sloth: I was reminded of something about myself reading @deftona 's thread. I'm a leg and butt man, boobs just aren't that interesting to me. As I'm socially awkward, most, okay all of my girlfriends (not that many) had to chase me down (I don't know why either). Almost all of them had a big chest. I mentioned this coincidence to one of them and she said, "well, you made eye contact when we met." Anyway... Training: 30 minutes DDP Fat Burner. I graduated to the next workout. 3X10 strap push ups, 3X5 strap rows. I'm going to do the e-cises after I post. Eating: on point. I have a bag of pulleys on my desk. They look like a Ho Hos wrapper. I've been craving Ho Hos all day. I'll have to put them away tomorrow. 8 Quote “We might as well start where we are, use what we have and do what we can." – Caitlin Rivers Sloth: The Man with the Hammer battle log Link to comment

Elastigirl Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 Catching up on your thread. I guess it's been a while since I've checked in. That would be great if the DPP yoga helped your back. It would be so cool if next year at this same time, you were talking about how your back hadn't hurt in forever, and you no longer had slothbelly. 1 Quote Wisdom 22.5 Dexterity 13 Charisma 15 Strength 21 Constitution-13 "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind' Luke 10; 27 Link to comment
