Woke up on time? Check
Got ready? I check.
Made breakfast for Wife and I? Check.
Writing journal on bike? Check.
Having a nice, well adjusted temperature in our apartment? Well... Not really...
We woke up to 15 degrees centigrade in the apartment this morning. Since its supposedly summer, the janitor turns off the radiators, so they don't waste. How I could have really used my radiators this morning. Brrr... It's okay to not get TOO hot while I exercise, but this temperature is too much. I pulled out a little electric heater/fan that we have sitting in our rest room. I have it pointing directly at me while biking. Hopefully I will soon warm up enough that I can turn it off. What a drag.
So, apologies for no jour al yesterday. Even if I usually don't write too much on the weekends, I usually write SOMETHING. Yesterday, I simply forgot. I was enjoying the day at home with Wife, doing nothing in particular. Watched some movies, played some music, enjoyed a day off.
We were gonna walk to the garden, but the weather just wasn't very inviting. We decided to skip it.
Yesterday could have been a bad day calorie wise. Being home all day, watching movies, often gives me the munchies and makes me want to eat. I did not give in. No ice cram, no chocolate, no candies, nothing.
I am on my final mission and it'll have to be done right to reach my goal in a 11 days.
I'm assuming that I'll be doing some sort of weigh-in at the hospital on Friday next week when I go prepping for surgery the following Monday. Not that I think they really care if I'm one kg up or down, they look at the loose skin and have focus on those issues, as they should, but it's important to me. I feel that I need to have a good weigh-in, to finish this part of the journey.
Today, I feel bloated and not "thin". I've felt like this for days, and the issue is most certainly that I've eaten foods that weigh more than normally, even if the calorie counts were sane, and this will weigh me down. I will use this feeling to keep me focused on my goal, so it can help me getting there.
Today, I've got a lot of work to do. Actually, it'll probably be like this every day until I go on sick leave, except for Tuesday and Thursday this week. Tuesday is a holiday in Denmark, and work is closed. Thursday, I have the day off with Wife. As I see it, depending what it all looks like when I get to work today, I might even go in tomorrow and do a few hours. I need to, to have peace of mind for my sick leave.
I'm still raving about 8tracks. If you haven't checked it out, you really ought to. So much free music to be found.
After I'm done journaling and riding my bike, and have showered, I'm gonna watch the Paul McKenna DVD. I gotta say they are a notch better than the TV show, though the show is amazing. I really enjoy watching it, and every time I spend time on it, I can literally FEEL myself refocusing. I watch it several times every week, a show here and there, and it works. I really want to schedule watching it, but it seems I have so many things going on. Work, band, the new band, building weight loss class, life in general... These are of course simply excuses, or lack of will to prioritize. I just need to move things around.
Maybe I should do a little time table in my calender, to keep me on track? Itnworks a charm in the office, so why not at home?
Simply schedule bike ride, journaling, Paul McKenna, bass practice and the other things I want to do.
I think what scares me about scheduling these things is that I feel that they'll become chores. I got to not think like that, but rather see it as an efficient way for me to get to do all the fun stuff that I'd really like to do, but that I can't find time to do. I'll look into setting this up as soon as I'm done with my journal.
Today, I'm thankful for:
- FOCUS!
- the idea of setting everything up in my calender.
- a great weekend behind me.
- an awesome week ahead of me.
- FOCUS!
It's Monday, so before I leave, here's the 3rd episode of Paul McKenna Will Make You Thin. Enjoy.
