I almost forgot to read today until I saw the checklist!0 -
I use lights - the days are mighty short up here in the winter! I just use old plastic boxes from grocery lettuces, poke holes in the bottom, and use potting soil. For just one person, I find that these 3 did me just fine this winter. One of arugula, one was baby kale and then lettuce, the other one is just mixed lettuces of 2-3 sorts. The arugula is half wild (which takes longer to grow but tastes amazing) and half "astro". I did a batch of microgreens at one point as well, but I was not too wild about that particular mix. Give me arugula any day!NouveauRee wrote: »March 17 - Day 15/75
✅ Food - Good today. Getting to the end of my "window salad" supply - all winter I keep 3 trays of salad greens growing, but now it is time to take over the plant window to start seeds for the big garden. Eggplants and tomatoes. Maybe peppers. But only a couple more days of the delicious small greens.
Need to hear more about your window salad? Do you use a grow light or just window light? How big are your trays? Do you grow in dirt or another substrate? Are you able to post a pic? Know this is off topic for this chat but I’m so interested. I grow microgreens in a tray and herbs in the aerogarden during winter. Then in spring/summer usually tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and zucchini in the backyard raised bed. Last year also tried white mini eggplant and okra that pretty much took over one of the squares. If only the backyard was bigger🙃
I have a very large vegetable garden and have to be careful not to overdo it now that it is just me and the tall guy at home. I freeze a lot of stuff (roasted asian eggplant slices, roasted roma tomatoes, chopped peppers, kale, spinach, berries, etc.), but it still gets a bit overwhelming at times. Except last year! It was such a miserable wet summer that nothing grew well. It was useless. Hopefully this year will be better!
OK, gardening aside finished

March 18 - Day 16/75
❌ Food - One ill-advised snack of nuts and dried fruit. I had a very clean and small dinner to make up for it. I don't know why I keep diving into the nuts!
✅ No alcohol no problem
✅ Exercise - Two workouts: 1strength-1 aerobic. Short Pilates and kettlebell, horseback riding and exercise bike.
❌ Reading - something helpful at least 10 minutes per day.
✅ Water - OK
✅ Thoughts - I went into both my own and my horse's exercise today without a sense of purpose and what the training would accomplish. Luckily, my horse turned things around, we figured out some useful and fun things to concentrate on, and we both worked up a sweat. Then I did some more strength work after getting home. Music practicing today was also random at first, but then got into some concentrated work on high register fast articulation issues. Planning helps! But no planning is still not a reason not to get in there and do some things anyhow

@jugar thanks for sharing! This is fantastic. Always enjoy seeing and hearing about people’s gardens. You have the perfect little setup conveniently in the kitchen especially when it’s freezing out. Really like this idea. Will need to look more into growing salad greens and maybe I’ll be joining you next year with a little salad factory in the kitchen🤗

❌ Food - Much better than yesterday, but still some excess after dinner.
✅ No alcohol no problem
✅❌ Exercise - Two workouts: 1strength-1 aerobic. Good Pilates session and a planning meeting with my trainer. No aerobic anything.

✅ Water - OK
✅ Thoughts - My delightful trainer, whom I have not seen in a while, brought all kinds of things back into my attention today. Our next collection of exercises will include more pull, more extensions, more front-back connections, and some VO2 max. I have been working on aerobic exercise going up to maximum possible while still breathing through the nose level, but now we're going to push beyond that for short bursts. Uphill running, he mentioned... be afraid, be very afraid

Another day in the bag, just about!
March 20 - Day 18/75
✅ Food - Spot on today! Feels good.

✅ Water - OK
✅ Thoughts - I went from feeling pretty lazy and unmotivated this morning to getting a lot done without feeling rushed or grumpy - even practicing, which is my procrastination kingpin. Feeling good and very glad to have these promises to myself starting to feel normal, not frantic.
It is inspiring to see how consistent we are! WTG!0 -
@jugar -- wow, I really want to try to grow some greens now. That's awesome thanks for sharing that! I'm going to try to find some seeds and give it a go. I have a grow light but haven't done much with it this year.
Anyone know anything about fixing fingernails? Mine are grooved, pitted, peeling, and brittle....they had finally started to get healthier and then that went away and they're back to really bad again. I have some clear 'repairing polish" on them from Walmart but I don't think it does much. With them cracking and breaking a lot it's really uncomfortable.0 -
