Today's goal was basically to return back to normal, or even improve on it, without doing too much. Which was both easier and harder as I was trying to be super vigilant on my mental state. Unfortunately had my last down of my antidepressant on Monday and having trouble getting it refilled for some reason. :/ I've gone through similar before back when I tapered off of it years ago and accidentally didn't go slowly enough. So I kinda know what to keep an eye on. Plus, I have better skills, better mental health, and better overall health than before. Still, I got back on it for a reason! D:
That all said, it was a good day today. Got a full workout in which felt harder after the break but also satisfying in a strange way, lol. The mate did some work on organizing the pantry and other food items and a little bit of grocery shopping while I was sleeping. We will probably be shifting to more cooking and less quick meals which is a slight concern (I always struggle with figuring out how to cook for one if the mate is sleeping while I'm awake) but I'm sure I'll get use to it. Along those lines, I also decided to go ahead and get back into calorie counting. Y'all know I've been debating back and forth on it. But I think it'll be helpful, so long as I 1.) not worry about getting numbers exact and 2.) allow grace if I go over. Whiiiiiiiiich, we'll see how it goes, lol. But, yeah, already today I see that I would have accidentally over done it. So I think this will be a good thing. And may help me adjust my diet in the future to better hit nutrition goals like protein and fiber. I'm using Cronometer since I think I've seen people on here use it before.
Also trying to be mindful of how much time I'm spending on my phone games. Reminding myself to pause and do other things like book reading (versus the online webcomics, etc that I do), personal shows, or creative stuff. Also trying to drink more water since ... yeah, it's no surprise I'm bad at that with as much coffee as I drink. (Especially these last few days.) And picking up a little more around the house. I've enjoyed letting the mate do everything as the house-spouse. But honestly, doing a little bit is a good way to get some dopamine going. ^_^
So yeah, trying to do a lot. But it feels like it's a good time to since we had a soft reset anyways due to abnormal week, having to restock food staples, etc. I don't
think I'm over doing it. But we'll see how the next few days go.
Oh! One more thing. I'm drying that daily doodle challenge. I've got a few more days for January to finish still. But I looked at February's list and it's a bit ... repetitive. Granted, the site I was getting my lists from has apparently been doing it for
years so that's no surprise. But I think, as nice as it was, I want to put more effort into other creative things. Or maybe make my own list occasionally or something, IDK.
But, yeah, that's all for now. Which is enough, lol. Good day, productive but also relaxing.
