weird day of TRANSITION today. Yes, transition into my self-sequestered program of action for a month! Starting today, I have decided to cut off all the social activities for a month, and isolate myself and just work on these deadlines and go work out. Sounds horrible, but it is not..it is do-able. I had to do that in the last month of my doctoral days, and I can do this again...I need a distraction-free, isolated time to work. However, this should not be a time to eat bad and let myself go. Thus, I have planned daily workout times, meal times to cook and eat, and then all others as work times. Everything else will have to wait!
Day 1 was a little wacky, but I'll write it off to transition and adjusting. I got very little sleep last night, so I took couple of short naps in the day. Writing came along well. For meals, I managed to get a hold of wheat thin crackers (yeah, yeah! I can already hear you all start tut-tut ing! Stupid move, i know!)...but guess what, I had 2-3 servings of this...AND later found my box of nuts..so I had a few of those AGAIN!!! Good news is, I threw out the rest of the box of the crackers (haven't had the heart to throw out the nuts). Other than this, I just had a smoothie of 5 pts, coffee with creamer, little bit of chick pea curry and 1/2 a flat bread (2 pts total).
Tonight I expected to see a gain, but so far so good. Oh, I also bailed on the gym.
All this gotta shake out and be different tomorrow. I plan to go to bed in 10 mins, i.e., at 11.30 pm and wake up at 6 am. Eat well, drink lots of water, work out from 12-2, and get my paper written up.
