Yesterday's sunrise, somewhere a bit northeast of the Rincons
I would not know a focused mindset if it bit me in the left hoo-haa. For as long as I have had conscious memory, I cannot remember a time when my brain wasn't zipping all over the damned place. I had invisible friends, we had conversations. I really related to Drop-Dead Fred. I felt seen.
See, talking about how my mind wanders, and went off on a tangent for at least 10 minutes before I remembered I was trying to write something.
Anywhoo, just one example of the train station that is my mind: I get up the other morning, and in the span of probably less than two minutes, I had thought about Detective Quinn (Dexter), the current and past condition of my kidneys after the whole surgery thing earlier this year, and my inability to determine how to organize the kitchen cupboards, especially the spices section.
It's no wonder I can't stay on track with stuff.
I know WHAT I have to do. I know I need to do it CONSISTENTLY, but then I forget crucial elements. Case in point - something is wrong with the sensor in the living room for the security system. It's been beeping and flashing "Low Battery" for over a week. Do you think I have remembered to call the company yet and find out what to do about it? HELL NO.
This is why planning is CRUCIAL to me, and just winging it never works for ME. This is why a schedule is important and sticking TO it is even more critical.
SO, we signed up for the gymnauseum yesterday. Going to start slow, but I absolute must and WILL have a schedule. I WILL get my earbuds charged and connected and ready to go. I WILL map out my exercises, stretches, etc. on my app (Jefit), and eventually get some personal training once I am acclimated and back up to gym speed.
If I remember.
Lest I forget what I said I was going to do yesterday, here's what I ingested yesterday:
Morning coffee with half and half
A bottle of Cherry Coke Zero Sugar
A copious amount of water and ice cubage
The afternoon coffee with MCT oil, heavy cream, collagen powder, vitamin D drops, and stevia
Vitamin B-12
A salad with some low-carb breaded chicken nugglets (probably three, cut up into tinier pieces), with a few grape tomatoes, a bit of red onion, and some garlic-pepper onions (the salad topper kind at Wallace World), homemade ranch dressing, and Mexican-blend cheese.
Oh, and nearly an entire bag of said garlic-pepper onions before lunch because meeting/boredom/momentary lapse of reason.
Nothing, nothing, nothing, then dinner.
Two eggs scrambled with some heavy cream, and 1.5 slices of American cheese, and five of these horrendous little chicken sausages that I found at Sprouts. I do NOT know what it was, whether it was them or the eggs, or the Lakanto Maple Syrup (Keto), but something made me feel absolutely hellish after eating that meal. I had a headache, I was nauseous, and felt like utter and complete shite. I threw the rest away. Wasteful, yes. Necessary, also yes.
That was it. Not horrendous, but probably not great either, given the snacking session.
So, yeah.
I'll be prepping more food today because I'm out of some things. And always, there are pork rinds if I need to snack THAT badly.
Not sure if we're starting gyming today or tomorrow. We had discussed Monday-Wednesday-Friday, but given the holiday, who knows?
Today is a busy work day, so I better get to it.
I shall leave you with this shot of a gigantic skittering beetle thing that came charging up on the patio last night, where it met its demise. Yuck.
Have a good day 😊
