I am grateful for...

2.Learning more about what I am putting into my body.
3.My friends.

What would make today great?

1.Doing some grocery shopping.
2.Cooking something up that isn't processed.
3.Getting a haircut.

Daily affirmations. I am...

a survivor.

3 Amazing things that happened today.

1.I finally got around to watching Star Trek: Picard, and it was great.
2.I did some grocery shopping, and finally go some more fresh food.
3.I managed to log all my food today.

How could I have made today better?

I could have gone out and done more walking. I still managed to get 5k steps in, but I think I could do better. This coronavirus thing is really fucking with things.

Dinner was just kinda "meh". I think I was just making things too complicated. Each ingredient was delicious on its own but all together, it was kind of mediocre. So, I think I need to spend more time creating recipes that I'll actually enjoy and keep eating.

I also wonder if I should reduce my carb intake. Now that I"m loggin things, I can see how much of my calories is from carbs; going low carb might be hard, considering restricted access to fresh food, but I guess I'll see. I'm also considering just skipping breakfast entirely; I seem to be okay, not so hungry in the mornings.

Things passing throuhg my head recently, that I definitely want to do:

  • Make a numbered list of morning routine. I have a checklist, but its pretty random what order I do them in. It'll definitely reduce my cognitive load in the morning.
  • alternative sleeping in bed vs the floor. I've just been waking up extremely sore, and I just don't know what to do about it.
  • make a back stretching routine for the mornings after I wake up. Maybe try taking a bath at night?
  • definitely get my sleep routine numbered, like my morning routine. I think I'd also like to incorporate a sleep meditation right before bed.
