Really?
As Mr. Lennon said, "Life is what happens when you're busy making plans ..." So, today started off as a fail. I failed to track anything. Tomorrow. TOMORROW I will start tracking. I already know what's missing, or what needs to go, but I haven't committed to that yet, either, clearly.
I did not factor (pun not intended) in the fact that I had to take Ms. Jezebel to the vet for a follow-up appointment at 8:50 this morning. That ran all the way up til the morning meeting at 10am. By that time, pffffffffffffffft. Also, since I slacked off during the holiday half week, I am way behind in work stuffs, and will be spending much of the afternoon trying to float back up to the surface.
In other news, I have read 39 pages of the Choose Yourself book that I mentioned some days (read weeks) ago. I have decluttered much stuffings that needed to be declutterized.
I think a lot of my recent Diet Dr. Pepper intake comes from eliminating the water additive (Stur). There's some deep-seated need for something more than just water with lemon and stevia drops. I'm almost afraid to eliminate the stevia because what else will I start craving?
Some days, I am more batterscrained than others. I didn't sleep great. Kept waking up, and then going back to sleep. Probably due to snacking right before bed. It's just a day. I had no expectations that the scale results would be positive this morning.
There are things to adjust. I could get my yarn together and make sure it is stationed by the television-watching seat, so that I have something to do other than chew, whilst watching a show. I CAN eliminate the Diet Dr. Pepper by just not buying it, or thinking it sounds good. I know it's not good. It's not good for weight loss. It's not good for the diabeetus diagnosis. It's just junk, and mostly poison, when you peel away all the moving parts. I know the almonds are going to have to go. The Elote ones in particular. They are like candy. They have to go. The Spicy Dill and Salt N' Vinegar ones are fine because they are so strong, and mostly eyeball-curling, and so I am not tempted to eat them by the dozens plus.
Then, there's the movement, or lack thereof. The only one who can do that is me. I just haven't yet figured out WHEN to do it. Do I do it right after waking up, when I haven't even fully re-entered my physical being? Do I do it before lunch? After lunch? I do know, from past experience, that night time is not the right time. It really, really mucks up my sleep if I get the heart rate up, and do a bunch of movey-movey stuffs.
Just a brain-scrambled kind of day. First day "back at work." Not even organized enough to make my to-do list this morning. Oh, and I forgot, there's another meeting at 3pm. May try to weasel out of that. (Update: I did weasel out of it, and instead started the data entry of some 20+ courses that will, at some point, go live in the app tonight, tomorrow, and the rest of the week)
Update, later in the day - I can tell, phsyically, and mentally, (see, I can't even spellz correctly), that I have consumed FAR TOO MUCH caffeine. This may be one of those monobipolyphasic sleep nights (as the kids are calling it now). In other words, sleep is not looking promising, at this point. I can just feel things boiling in the bloodstream. Jitteriness might be the more apropos nomenclature.
Lesson: Get rid of the pop. Lesson: Make that Afternoon Coffee last ... You don't need ANOTHER one.
So, the goal(s) for tomorrow:
- Track foods/beverages
- Wear the pedometer all day
- Eradicate the Diet Dr. Pepper
Let's DO THIS. Thanks, as per usual, for stopping by! My jittery self appreciates you!
