Saturday, 14 February Wins: 1y 116d Happy Valentine's Day!!!
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. I did have some sweets in the evening that weren't a great decision, but that's okay. It was a treat

Another good day out in the sunshine. I had over done it a little yesterday and my knee was very unhappy with me, so I decided to not go fence in the loose, sandy, rocky, wash and instead shot archery with my husband, my dad, and my step-mom. We had a great time!!!

I do wish that there were some things going at the event on Sundays, but it's okay. I'm glad to be home. My knee is feeling a lot better today, so that is also good!

I am quite a bit tired today, but my knee is feeling better from yesterday, so I'm going to call that a win for today. I may decide to rest it again tomorrow (which would impact HoV for sure), but I'll see how I'm feeling tomorrow.

Stayed up a little later than I intended tonight, so I'm off to bed.

Okay, I am feeling a little more normal. The squats didn't bother my knee at all. But sitting like in Thunderbolt does. I'll just keep on paying attention to what I am doing and what bothers it.

Overall, it was an okay day. I'm a little bloated and had a strange nausea episode after lunch, but my productivity was decent and I felt like I was in a good mood today.

It has been a whirlwind day. Doctor (yay, more scans), vet (Erebus was NOT happy), and lots of cleaning ahead of houseguests. I thought about not letting cleaning count, but I have done so very, very much. I intend to stretch and meditate to help me sleep. I'm sneaking out to fencing in the morning and I'm looking forward to it.

Just taking it one moment at a time. I got an appointment scheduled for tomorrow, so that's a step in the right direction. Hopefully, I'll have answers soon. I currently have edge pieces but no corners or middle pieces connecting things. It's quite frustrating.

For now, off to go watch the rest of this episode of Elementary and stitch and drink water. Then curl up in bed with a book (probably Awaken Online: Catharsis) and hopefully get to sleep at a decent hour.

Weelllll, it has been a day. Doc was alright. I still don't have answers, but we have a path of investigation and a plan, so I feel a lot better about things.

I had every intention of making myself get through Cardio Go! 2, but I had an interruption and it was half an hour later when I returned. It is nearly bed time, so I'm just going to say no and just go finish this cup of water and read my book and go to bed. I'm tired.

Ughh, monthly debuff finally arrived. I guess I can stop stressing about where it has been. But now I feel like I've been hit by a truck. Ah well, it'll pass.

Overall, not a bad day, just an unproductive one. Small lunch potluck + 2 long conversations with the older ladies who visited my desk + massive headache = not getting much done. It's okay. I have the weekend to reset and I am optimistic that things will be better next week.

Rough day, I felt itchy and tired. But hey, labs were done to try to figure out why I'm so frequently tired and the allergy shot was the first in 3 weeks, so that was expected to be a little rougher than usual. The debuff didn't help anything, but that'll pass soon. I might need to take it easy tomorrow too, but I'll see about that.

I tried to go to fencing practice, but my fencing partners didn't show up. One of the knights asked if I had an extra sword, so that we could spar, but I had only grabbed one of mine. I'll remember to bring it next time.

I'm still a little achy today. But definitely better. Today's main focus has been hydrating, though I haven't been doing such a good job at it.

I haven't decided if I'm committing to Ironborn yet, but I will be trying to get back to Valkyrie if not this week (because of Girl Power Week), then by next week. I'll do boxes and goals in the morning. For now, I am happy I did some weights without tiring myself out more.

I'll get caught up on logs again tomorrow as well.

February Math
28 * 4 boxes possible per day = 112 possible boxes
112 possible boxes - 9 no counts = 103 possible boxes
71 boxes + 11 bonus points= 82 boxes
Goal = 80% of 103 = 82 boxes
Super goal = 90% of 103 = 93 boxes (11 boxes short)

Okay, this month had a lot of ups and downs. I am glad I didn't do as bad as I thought, but I got to remember that I had a lot going on - big war event, demo, weird body stuff (monthly debuff wrecked me and my knee has been acting weird). I also have been slacking off again at workout time. BUT, I did hit the base goal.

So, next month, I will:

• Workout before launching games (Things like a round of Glyphica [finger/keyboard dexterity practice] and any usage of Spirit City Lofi Beats [awesome pomodoro & timer functions that actually motivate me] are okay. Literally everything else is NOT.)
• Go for more walks - (1) I need to walk more (2) It is warming up and I need to work on acclimating to the rising temperatures now. So, I will be setting an 8am alarm on my watch and if I can, I need to get up and go for a walk. Then have breakfast after that.... unless I eat then go for a walk, which is good for digestion (but not so great for fasting goals). This strategy will work for work & I am either working for my breakfast or helping with digestion. Either way, it is a win.
• Try to push things - I'm not feeling like cardio, great, do strength. I need to push things, awesome, do something, even if it is level 1.

March Boxes:
Workout before gaming (I will allow for challenges as gaming breaks, but the main workout MUST be completed before launching a game.)
House of the Valkyrie or Ironborn - Yeah, I know, I am just drawing things out. However, it gives me two different ways to earn this box. I can earn it multiple times in a day.
Challenges - Yes, each one counts as an earn. Partly because there is half of Punch Out! and partly because I am aiming for all possible ways to let myself earn extra points because it is motivating to me.
5k steps 7k bonus
GQHC or mini (10 jumping jacks, 10 squats, 10 push-ups, 10 calf raises, 10 negative calf raises, & 10 kicks) - Can I do both for an extra point? Yes, absolutely because that is just more good work for me, and because I can do GQHC while I brush my teeth which is nice. Normal rules apply to the mini - if the move appears in my workout already, it does not need to be separately duplicated for the mini.

It is great because it stretches my logic skills, but it is not great for me getting things done. C'mon Syrius!! You know better than this!! Okay, so, I am just going to have to work on exerting my willpower again and do things right. But that is not tonight. I have already messed that up today, but it's okay. I'll be better.

I'll start new stuff tomorrow, I'm short on time this evening and I need to go to bed on time for work. I'm looking forward to doing Girl Power Week starting tomorrow!

Okay, I gotta know - what's the game called? I love logic style games and am always on the lookout for a new one.

 

[Syrius]

Okay, I gotta know - what's the game called? I love logic style games and am always on the lookout for a new one.

This one is called Islands of Insight (Steam link). I have it on the PC, I'm not sure what other platforms it is available on. The whole world is absolutely littered with all kinds of logic puzzles. One thing about it is that there are also hidden objects in the game and I would recommend turning up the SFX volume in the audio settings because the hidden cubes do make a sound when you are near one.

* Writing - I had thoughts. I think I might be too hung up on changes that I need to make. Ugh. Also, I forced a dumb situation on my characters that I need to delete and rethink.
* Stitching - I might not get to this again for a little. I have too much chainmail to make.
* Chainmail - More good work has occurred
=================

I had a terrible headache today for about 6 hours. It felt like a migraine, but it went away sooner than I expected. Regardless, I took it easy today. I intend to make up the other tracks, but at least I did this one today.

Now, I'm off to hydrate and sleep.

Move it with me! Let's make March awesome!

It's been a day.

Work wise, it was an extremely productive day. I am very happy with how today went.

Also, it makes me very happy to see all of you enjoying Girl Power Week!

My sister called and asked how I've been and I spilled all the tea. She made me call my mom and tell her too. She's right of course, as any wise, younger sister who knows how stubborn I am is. The thing is that I can only give them what is going on because I don't even have all the answers yet. I've done a fairly good job of holding it together up to this point. But I can't not talk to them for 3 more weeks just because I am trying to solve the whole problem with these various scans and labs and doctor visits.

But just like M has been saying: We are on the path for answers. For now, I've just got to keep being positive.

I know I'm probably worrying you - I'll probably talk more about this once I have a better idea of what's going on. Just know that for right now, I am mostly in my head, overanalyzing and expecting the worst - which is probably not helping me sleep - and that I am feeling mostly healthy, despite all of this.

Alright friends. Time for me to sleep. Thanks for listening.

Move it with me! Let's make March awesome!

[Jaga]

I would love to see your stitching work someday

 

[Syrius]

@Jaga Lol, these days its mostly counted cross stitch.

Here's two of my needlepoint projects:
I finished this one about two weeks before my wedding. I think it's one of the prettiest things I've ever made.

This one was the first one ever. I started it when I was 7 and I finished it shortly after the previous one. I really put it off and I had to restretch the canvas twice over its lifespan.

Let's see, somewhat recently I finished:
A stocking for my husband. I just got my sewing machine back, so I'll be backing it and the one for my niece sometime soon.

And then there's the ballerinas. It got stretched weird in one corner so I had put it down until I could consult with my mom about it.

And here's my current cross stitch, the Wind Moon Fairy:
