Today: 1/8/25

Rough day. I didn't walk before work. I did achieve my step goal. I didn't do any physical activity apart from walking. I drove home but drove right back to Austin. It's probably going to freeze tonight at home but not in Austin and I need to be at the clinic to conduct training. I'm staying in a hotel over night. Hopefully, I can get back into routine tomorrow. Didn't do homework. Going to bed soon. Able to assign someone else to do dishes and laundry.

Reflection:

I feel meh. Excited to sleep in a little and have slow morning with coffee and easy roll to work. Not going to be at myself up over not achieving as much as I wanted. Not sure if laundry or dishes complete. Should have checked.

Tomorrow's plan:

Get up, have coffee, walk around hotel before work. Finish training and start drive home. I can work from home Friday, so I'll stay up later to finish responses for class. Do one load of dishes and put away. Do one load of dishes and laundry. Do step goal. Do 20 mins of physical activity.

Today: 2/4/25

Week been consistent with work out and homework. Don't know why the melancholy has been at me lately. We're getting through it. Always seems like so much. There's always more to do. Always more to get done.

Catch up:

Been consistent in achieving step goals and dishes. Not getting the help I've been requesting. But, that's ok. This is my journey and my goals. I cannot expect others to participate. 🙁

It makes me sad I'm not getting help. So, I have to strengthen my resolve to see them through. I'll allow myself the sadness here during reflection.

I have not been doing my homework. If I want to get that masters degree, I have to focus and dedicate time to the effort.

For today:

I've already cleaned the kitchen. Wiped all the walls down. I'll mop another time. I've enough clean clothes to make it through the week. So, focus is one homework. This modules assignments are due today. Once completed I'll do the work for my body.

I need to move past the regret of allowing my body to get weak. It's not easy for me. I'll work on that later. Right now, homework and body.

Today: 1/6/25

Back to work today. I love my job. It's not easy and people make it more difficult than it needs to be. But, we're making progress and the culture is changing.

I did manage to workout when I got home. It wasn't as much as I did on Friday. But, I'm building habits and something is better than nothing. I reached my step goal of 3000 steps. Fourth day in a row reaching that goal. Still 450lbs, this is not sustainable and my body is weak.

I didn't do as much as I wanted around the house. I did load of dishes, one load of laundry (wash and dry still need to put away), swept living room.

Reflections: I was worried I wouldn't work out after work. I hate the 1.25 hr commute. I didn't do as much around the house. First assignment of this term is due Thursday and I haven't even started. I do not like being a student. I love learning but the student thing is terrible. I miss my strong body. I miss doing 10 mile hikes. I miss being able to lift heavy things one handed.

Lessions learned: Keep the phone put down. Podcasts and music are better than TV and videos for me. Less distracting and helps focus. Every little bit counts.

Plan for 1/7/25: Walk at lunch break. Start marketing assignment. One load of dishes. One load of laundry wash, dry, and put away. Put away the load in dryer.

a new shirt to say that fire and the ecosystems of so-called California are inextricably tied.

in the wake of the most devastating Los Angeles wildfires to date, this is a wearable reminder to all that such harm is preventable, to support your local indigenous communities, to educate yourself on indigenous land stewardship practices, and to see how you can help heal the land. <3

100% of proceeds go to an Altadena family that is working to rebuild after losing everything in the Eaton fire of 2025. Read more for a fun fact about these plants~

Though there is no such thing as a fireproof plant, the species repped on this shirt are fire resistant, drought tolerant species native to so-called "California". they are excellent for native wildlife and pollinators, and endorsed for landscaping use by Los Angeles, Orange, and San Diego county fire departments.

“A look back to the 1964 Navajo Nation Fair ❤ The Navajo Nation Fair was initially started in 1937 as an opportunity for our Diné people to unite and gather for a couple of days to socialize, race horses, compare each other’s harvest, have something positive and enjoyable to do rather than just dealing with the Depression, stock reduction, unemployment and having their children hauled off to boarding school. Be proud to be Diné!”, Southern Navajo Nation Fair
