It looks like M solved a mystery - the mystery of why I have been feeling randomly short of breath. (For clarification, I am not having a hard time breathing, I am just suddenly feeling a little lightheaded and like I have to control my breathing. It is very, very weird. I thought that I was just randomly having anxiety attacks or something. ) There is currently a high pollen count in my area and this is the first time I've been off my allergy meds at this time of year in over a decade. So, I am experiencing allergy issues! I am very unamused by this. So, I took a Benadryl (because that is what I had in my purse) and it made me incredibly drowzy. So, I ended up going home early at M's insistence and he drove. He is awesome. I am feeling much improved over this morning, though since it has worn off, I'm once again not feeling awesome. I took some more, so I'll be okay soon. I think I'll go get some Zyrtec in the morning. I may not like how it makes me feel (groggy & occasionally itchy), but this is actually worse.

I feel like I had an encounter with Kryptonite. I know that it is temporary and that I am taking steps to make it better, but it is hard to deal with in the moment.

Jumping, hoping, and bouncing my way through January.

I didn't fall asleep until almost 3am. At 1am, my tummy was so hungry that M told me to just go have some fruit. I also did have a gluten incident yesterday (cross contamination at the salad place OR I was right and they are crusting the pulled chicken), but since I have been on Zyrtec the past couple of days, the bloating effect has been mitigated. So, I did find that interesting.

Ah well, it's alright. I'll get hydrated, fed, and sleep better tonight.

HAH, so it really might have been the Allegra. No weird lightheadedness or anxiety attack like feelings. HAH! Okay, I might not like the slight brain fog during or the itchiness when Zyrtec wears off, but this is definitely better. This I can handle. Now, to continue surviving my allergies and the allergy season.

Skipped HoV mostly because I didn't want to do level 1 just because of allergy stuff. And because I couldn't convince myself to do the lunge pushes. Lol. It's okay, it'll be fine in the end. I just treated it as a "Do What I Wanna" day. I think I needed it.

Just a normal day today. Did stuff. Was moderately productive. Got a small headache from hyperfocusing. It went away, and I worked out. I think I'm going to go write for a bit. I feel inspired.
I haven't written a single word, but I finally named my book. I am working on character sheets. This feels right. It's time to try something new.

Also, I do feel like I have not been getting enough cardio. I'm going to have to do something about that.

Today's big project - clean my keyboard, swap out broken switches, change key caps, and then go to the store to completely replace my keyboard when I discover that I now have keys that are completely broken. So, I'll be moving over keycaps again tomorrow, because the key caps on my new board are textured and it keeps making me think that they are gritty with dirt or something.
=================

I do have fencing practice in the morning, so I am hoping that I'll get to sleep here in a bit. I do plan on getting back into the House of Valkyries tomorrow (and double up on 1m Yoga), though that might depend on how my feet are feeling after fencing in my new boots. Things just got delayed, like my start of fast was at 2030 this evening, so I'm either not going to eat before I go to practice (I'll stick some jerky in my bag if I do) or I'll break fast early tomorrow and make it a no count.

Tired, sleepy day today. Hopefully I'll go to sleep earlier tonight, but I'll just have to see on that count.

Also, staring at the mountain of editing is exciting because I get a chance to make it better, but this is really the first time I've done it so I am not really sure where to start, which is why I've started with making character sheets.

**25** Combat workout - Final Bell, Brawler, Maxima, Boxer Arms (cause I did extra sets), Ninja Hunter, & Iron Fist = 6 pts - On one hand, I do think I might have been a little lax in saying that each count, but on the other hand, I can't regain too many points in the main box category once I have lost them, so I am actually okay with this. It is pretty much the only way for me to super charge my boxes this month.
**1** Completed programs & challenges - Flexibility Week
=================
Project work?
* Writing - A little journaling. I am once again convinced that it is best to just write the whole thing up for my story. BUT, I do need to do the character sheet for my mini boss because I don't actually know what his motivations are. I have an inkling, but I need to flesh it out more. Especially since we're heading into the showdown.
* Secret stuff - I'll get some work in on this tomorrow. I've been doing some thinking, I just need to let it brew for another sleep.
* Stitching - with my 3rd dice bag nearing completion, I should be circling back to stitching here shortly. Though, this might be temporarily sewing instead of stitching so that I can make M 2 tunics before an event.
* Chainmail - I plan to settle in with this for the rest of the evening, unless I fall asleep
=================

Firstly, photo of Erebus playing fetch during workout.



Also, I have Renn Faire this weekend, so I might have been very impulsive in starting Katana Week, since I am participating in 2 sword fighting demos each day for 3 days. Oh well, it'll be interesting. Hopefully my arms will recover over the day tomorrow.

Overall, it was a decent day. I was actually very productive again at work.

On the writing front, I am again invigorated to start writing again, but I have noticed that I am most successful when I have a writing challenge to compete against (i.e., 50k in 30 days). So, I need to find a way to tap into that so that I can finish the entire story, not just this first major arc that I have completed. I have given myself 3 days to declare a challenge for myself to do, but I am fully open to suggestions.

Jumping, hoping, and bouncing my way through January.

1 min Yoga 24 - hands on waist, not feet. I can't quite get into this pose properly.

Hands on waist (or hips or buttocks) is fine for camel pose. If you can almost reach your heels, you can also try tucking your toes to lift your heels up higher and make the distance to them just that little bit shorter.

Jumping, hoping, and bouncing my way through January.

 

[Syrius]

January Math
31 * 4 boxes possible per day = 124 possible boxes
124 possible boxes - 6 no counts = 118 possible boxes
104 boxes + 28 bonus points= 132 boxes
Goal = 80% of 118 = 94 boxes
Super goal = 90% of 118 = 106 boxes
I actually reached 111.9% of box total. The large amount of combat work this month really paid off, though even without it, I did meet 80% goal. I am really happy with this month.

Now, I need to figure out my plan for February.

 

[Syrius]

New things
* 3 minute HIIT - new month, new challenge. This looks like a lot of fun. I already have jumping jacks in my mini, so I am just going to remove it from there, and let this challenge cover that part of my mini this month.
* Upperbody Blast - Let's get some good stuff going.
Carryover items:
* House of the Valkyrie Stil loving it, so I'm keeping it going.
* 1 min Yoga - Lol, I am totally going to just wrap this up today. Easy early win for February.
* Arcade - Same as above. I was just too wiped out from Renn Faire to finish them up the past couple of days.
* Push-up Master - I've got this... right? Haha, I know I do, though I am down to some really challenging ones. I might start something new when this one is over, I haven't decided yet.
* Punch Out! - This is a repeat (because I couldn't see the badge on my profile page so I started it again. You know, the one that looks like this: It was very clearly there, I just missed it. )
* Katana Week - Yup, going to get right back into this...tomorrow. Easy peasy.

The Mini:

• 10 negative calf raises
• 10 calf raises
• 10 squats
• 10 jumping jacks - covered by 3 minute HIIT
• 10 turning kicks
• 10 push-ups (any variation, preferably fulls)

Day 3 of the Renn Faire was shorter, but I am still tuckered out. I am now scrambling through all adulting things at home so that I can go to work tomorrow.

The Renn Faire got a spotlight on the news this weekend and the heavy fighters were featured for about half of the segment. They are definitely the flashy fighting, but I was amused to see that I was in the background. Very cool!

Overall, it was another weird day at work. But the weirdness should be settling down for a while, so that is good. Upside, I was fairly productive today.

I did everything but Katana week before dinner and I had intended to come back for it. Instead I settled in and I wrote. I am calling that a good trade off.

I'm not sure if I just overdid it or if it is cramps or because I slept wrong (on the couch because I fell asleep so very hard last night).

So, light stretching today was the goal and I am off to bed right now.

I was also really excited to see the WOD was my favorite workout (Run You Clever Boy; And Remember), but bummed that I wasn't feeling up to it. I'll do it here soon for my own pleasure.

xhr fast - fasting is suspended due to high caloric output - I'm going to eat what I need to stay functional
On that note, food choices were wisely made today. In light of no gluten free vendors, I lived off jerky & trail mix while on site and had a good breakfast and a balanced dinner.
Steps: 14,135

5ish hours of fencing & tons of walking around

YEAH, we went to the big event today and had so much fun! I do wish there had been more vendors, but the fights were good and it was great to get out and walk around and reconnect with my SCA community.
