after a glorious summer of relaxation and partying like a rock star (including rhode island, gatlinburg, and dublin)... it is time to get back to workplay.
i weighed-in at 218.4, but i'm reframing it as "something to work with."
my goals are similar to past years, and center around wellness:
- under 200 lbs, under 40" waist, under 25% fat
- 195, 38" and 20% would be nice.
- of course, the pathway is a reduction in consumption and an increase in exercise:
- veganorganic, low/no alcohol, water
- upper/lower gym days
- get up go!
- tea as a substitute for coffee/beer
i've got all of the tools: knowledge, coaches, gyms, $$
other goals include:
1. finding a yoga class or studio
2. daily chair massage; bi-weekly massage
3. social network (but this time) of high caliber (not drinking buddies)
4. clutter
5. planned thanksgiving & christmas
6. helping students (like shawn)
7. prepping for and surviving an election
8. daily sunrise walks
9. night time preparations
* when i take a big-picture look at all of these things, alcohol (and food) consumption remains squarely in the center. oftentimes, my poor food choices come after drinking.
i need to invest in positive things to do at night (meet-ups, volunteering, connection).
i need to reconnect with my purpose (ripple-effects).
more to follow, but let's go!
this morning:
- weigh-in: 218.4, no circ measurement, no wake-up stretches
- coffee (not tea)
- massage chair and guided meditation!
- contemplation
- walk
last night, after getting back from dublin, i completed my first alcohol free day in months! i was productive, washing clothes and getting the car washed/detailed. didn't eat airplane food. only water. set out the feeders and even saw a couple of birds. early to bed.
let's set the bedroom clock, file some paperwork, and do this with a smile!
