Day 24/100 Gettin Healthy — 228.2 Pounds
Down 4. The food baby and water retention from the bday weekend are abating quickly.
Still eyeing the target of getting under 220 before day 40. Fasting today and I think there’s a good chance i hit 225 tomorrow or the next day. Then I have 2 full weeks to hit goal. 2.5 pounds per week. Easy peasy.
The Lost Week
I am starting to grok a cycle that I run myself through that is exceptionally un-productive. I get into the MO (momentum) and everything is clicking and I can see everything I’m trying to accomplish clearly. I’m setting achievable targets daily and hitting them. Then I have a good idea and want to do that too. So I map out how much actual time I have and inevitably decide that I can add it. Then I do that 4 more times. Then I run up against an invisible wall. My capacity to create, the amount of intellectual bandwidth I have each day or each week, is far less than the number of minutes in a day or a week. This is very annoying. I dont know how many times people like my Aunt Gail have cautioned me to go slower when I get ramped up. It rarely works. Anyway…
I think I’m at least starting to recognize that cycle sooner (not this time, I went into a deficit for sure but there were extenuating circumstances… back pain, global/national instability and a historic moment holy shit what? Pandemic + bigger protest movement than during the 60s going on this past week)
So a week ago I decided to take a day off. Then the next day I didn’t feel like it and took another day. Each day it gets harder and harder to start the engine back up. BUT. I hear Arathi’s voice in my head telling me to be kind to myself and let it happen when it’s ready. That’s hard of course, because here I am 20 days into a DAILY attempt at discipline and how can we just sit around WAITING TO FEEL LIKE IT?? Anyway, fucking first world problems.
So. I’m fasting today. Always a challenge and always worth it. There’s no more efficient way to reset my biology or psychology. Except one. The Great Spirit Farm is too far away tho so…
Onward.
