I again tried to be very good with food today, and though I suspect I missed one nibble or two, I’m counting it as an okay day for food. Because the bf had so much left-over corned beef still from Friday, I did not make the anticipated pad see ew (ผัดซีอิ๊ว), I instead had my now-go-to Korean Fire Chicken for dinner, which let me catch up a bit on carbs from the snacking and finishing off fruit from last week’s Costco run. Because I had a whole batch of the chicken, I didn’t need to down a protein shake to fill that box tonight.
For walking, we did our normal ~15 minute walk, I figured I’d need to do another one or two, but then the bf offered to drive down to get the mail and I’d walk and he’d pick me up on the way back. It worked out well, I got another 22 minutes of walking in since he stopped to talk with someone. I will admit, though, that I was about 70 calories short of my move ring tonight, so I did a “Mind & Body” exercise for 12 minutes while doing some pretty solid cleaning tonight to just finish that up.
Meanwhile, I am entering my second week of being completely unmotivated to do work. This happened around Week 3 last time I did this in 2020, so it could be the diet / exercise setting in as a general fatigue. I also napped twice today, despite getting nearly 8 hrs of sleep.
I got through some email today, so maybe that’s something?
I dunno … it’s also possible that I’m waiting on three different computer runs to finish for three different projects, and my mind is just in a “blah” mode not wanting to work on a fourth one … but I really do need to.
We’re going to bed shortly because the bf is going to go swimming at 7:15am, so I’ll drive him down and then walk the Boulder paths for an hour and then drive us home. It’s supposed to be about 45°, so, that’ll be just delightful. At least the forecast high winds won’t kick in until a few hours later. I also have no carry-over calories from previous days, so I should be able to get through the day on-track, but we’ll see. I also think I need to just suck it up and get on this fourth project given certain deadlines I don’t want to talk about because … 😱 and 😰.
