When’s yr birthday, ar ar? I’ve already given up on my minor experiment of 4 ounces of red wine at bedtime - I am instead concentrating on my meditation…
I also slept fairly well last night, but I think a large part of it was knowing I did not have to have an alarm set this morning. My son called me last night after having a fight with his fiancée - all I can do is make sympathetic noises, although of course from what I’m hearing (just Z’s side) she is being unfair and hurtful: V said she “hated his voice”!!??!!
That seems to be hitting below the belt, although I admit when I try to call Z and get his voicemail, I quickly click off because his voicemail has a very officious tone, like his father - but I would never tell Zach that!!! That’s my hangup - when Zach was younger & having a growth spurt, I hated the fact that his long angular limbs reminded me of his dad… I was ever so grateful when Zach muscled up - he actually is a carbon copy of my dad’s body type. I love giving him a hug!

Pleasantly surprised to see 190.6 on the scales this morning… My top priority needs to be scheduling a dermatologist appointment, but yesterday we got hung up in a tremendous traffic jam coming back from visiting my mom - apparently there was a police chase, then a crash, and they ultimately had to shoot the fugitive - it was a mess!!!
Didn’t sleep well again - I was fretting about poor Zach as he and Victoria are going through another rough patch. I don’t think this bodes well for the future; at least they have not paid any deposits or booked any venues for the wedding yet. Maybe they’ve already cruised through their honeymoon period, having cohabitated for a couple of years now?? I’m just offering a sympathetic ear - not my circus, not my monkeys!!!

Oh. That does not sound good. I get where you are coming from the more you talk *kitten* about your son‘s fiancé the more he’ll want to stay. As long as you’re sympathetic ear, hopefully he’ll see reason and decide whether she is worth the trouble.

I didn’t sleep too well yesterday either

So I was nicely surprised when I weighed myself this morning. I’m down to 221. That is still 7 lbs heavier than the end of Oct. I’m still working to get to my lowest in this journey and then work to get lower. My bedroom seemed colder than usual last night. I got up 3 or 4 times to pee. Fitbit says I got 8 hrs sleep with a sleep score of 90 yet only 42 min of deep sleep and I do not feel rested. I feel chilled. I hope I’m not getting sick. Fitbit doesn’t show the 3 times I got up in the night to pee. I must have been so fast I did it while still sleeping. According to my bit.

I was dumb - I did not wear my longjohns yesterday so I came home chilled; it takes me hours to warm back up after that.
Peran thrives in this weather - he is never happier than being down in the woods getting firewood and keeping the stove fired up!
I promised my young man Tony we would go for a short ride today, but that wind is fierce. Guess I can count it as another character building exercise 😜
Even though I spent a lot of time in bed, I do not feel particularly well-rested? I think yesterday’s chilling episode had a lot to do with my lack of deep sleep

And I know I will make no further progress whatsoever unless I concentrate on cleaning up my diet - I need to sit down & formulate a new plan. Congrats on your success!

Sounds to me like an electric heating blanket would work for you. Here is a link from Amazon. They are not as expensive as they once were. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=electric+heating+blankets&crid=WHZAZTCPQYEP&sprefix=electric+heating+blankets,aps,786&ref=nb_sb_noss_1

My day ended yesterday with a power failure. Around 6:30 PM the power went out didn’t come back on till 11 o’clock by then I was half asleep although I didn’t sleep well I did sleep better than the day before. This morning. I woke up with a headache. My sinus are all plugged up, but it feels more like allergies than a cold. The headache could’ve been because I had gluten yesterday the fish I am just in love with lately frozen dinner I can cook and eat. It’s my favourite fish, but it’s got this real light batter on it. It has gluten in it, but I don’t think the headache headaches from that. I think the headache is from the weather.

Yesterday wasn’t too bad (high temp of 48) but dipped down to 23° last night. Very very hard to peel myself away from the stove to get the ponies fed/get anything else done! & then Idiot Luke jumped on poor Dum, puncturing a hole in his face that bled profusely all over the garage AGAIN!!??!! (I haven’t even finished scrubbing all the bloodstains up from Dominic‘s ear)
Got bloody towels soaking in the washing machine now, then maybe I’ll be able to get back to my minor tidying up for company mañana?.
At least our ride went well - I didn’t have any drama from Twoie. Lots of cyclists out, but I’ll take a halt & a few steps backwards over a spin n’ spook any day! (I’m looking at you Baraq)

Disgusted/disappointed in myself - met friends for dinner, ate deep fried crap, got indigestion, thought cheap frozen custard would fix it?!? What a maroon!!!
No point in posting my poor sleep - why should it surprise me when I keep falling in the same hole(s) over & over & OVER again!!??!!
I’m on the email list of a guy who has tried to sell me on online coaching (I didn’t want to spend the money, nor could I afford it last year!) but he made a good point where he said sophisticated data collection can be just another form of procrastination…
I don’t know if you’ve paid any attention to Brian Johnson, the rich dude who wants to live forever: he’s been trying to reverse the aging process - spending untold sums on his regimens, but as some people point out, he may be just trying to sell supplements!

No. I haven’t heard of him. I slept like *kitten* last night. I’m going to chalk it up to having to take my ex to an appointment for my son.

leanstrongsexy

Well I took my ex to all of his appointments. Took him to get blood work and his health card updated. I also bought him batteries for his blood pressure machine at home and lighters. I also ordered long-johns and underwear for him too.

I’m just glad I don’t have to live with them anymore. I didn’t mind doing this favour for my son. The appointments were all local. I didn’t have to drive into the city.
