Goal Reflection Day: July 16-22

By -
It's been a while since I last hosted goal reflection day and I can't remember a bunch of the goals I had, but I'll do my best to get as many as I can down here. I've let a lot of stuff slip for a bit, especially since the camping trip, so I'm going to need to ramp myself back up on some of these still.

　

Keep the kitchen clean

I think this is the one I've let go more than anything else. I'm planning on getting back on top of this tonight because I'm beginning to hate being in the kitchen again and that's not good for my next goal.

　

Cook more

I haven't been cooking as much as I probably should have, partially due to the previous goal, but I've also just let myself fall off on it in general. Again, if I can get the kitchen cleaned up, that should motivate me here at least somewhat.

　

Meditate every night

This is a new one, at least for this blog. I've wanted to get into doing this at a few points, but I've never followed through. I'm hoping this will improve our overall mindfulness, and therefore improve our chances of keeping up on goals.

　

Record an audiobook

Due Monday, July 23

I mentioned this a few days ago and that I planned on trying to do one on Friday, but I never got around to it. I'm putting this on here to try to motivate me to get it done.

　

Weigh in under 150 lbs.

Camping fluctuated my weight a bit strangely, so I'm reevaluating this goal. That's not to say I haven't been doing well in losing weight, but rethinking it, I bet I could reach 150 by my birthday, so I'm moving the goal up to January 26, 2019.

　

Weigh in under 185 lbs.

Due Sunday, August 5

Just this morning I broke 190, so I'm hopeful that I can keep it going and hit 185 by my next goal reflection day. But more specifically...

　

This morning, I weighed 189.6 lbs.

　

Yesterday, I ate:

　

~ Two buttered thick eggos

~ A siggi's cup

~ A banana

~ A Morningstar chicken sandwich

~ An Amy's Pad Thai plate

~ A Beyond Meat patty melt

　

Here's hoping I can tackle the next couple weeks with a renewed zeal and really bite into these goals!

　

Take it easy!

Cooking shows

By -
I really like watching cooking shows. I'm not sure why, I don't plan on ever making the food they do, but there is something about watching skilled chefs make beautifully delicious looking food. Rok also enjoys these show so that works out really well for us. More recently we have started to watch more cooking channels on YouTube. We now watch Binging with Babish and Bon Appetit. I used to watch Hellthy JunkFood, but recently their content hasn't appealed to me as much as it used to. We also watch the Great British Bake Off on Netflix, but unfortunately Netflix doesn't offer many other cooking show options that I can find. I have been curious to look into Chef's table but we haven't gotten there yet. Today I weighed: 213 lbs Yesterday I ate: > A 22 oz Aloha Pineapple smoothie from Jamba Juice > ~1 1/2 cup of buttery noodles > A yogurt cup > Two peanut butter and honey sandwiches > A slice of white bread Yesterday I drank: 84 oz of water...

Tiny Cat Kidneys

By -
Our cat Monty has been getting over a kidney infection. As such, I had the privilege to learn how difficult it can be to make a cat swallow medication. We also had to learn to administer a subcutaneous fluid drip every few days to make sure he stays properly hydrated. Fortunately, he's been recovering well, drinking his water and eating his expensive, new medicated food. We took him into the vet today to make sure he's totally back to normal, but now we have to wait for a urine test to come back. At least we got his vaccinations and stuff renewed, so that's good. This morning, I weighed 195.8 Today I ate ~Three small chocolate covered muffin tops ~A pull apart twizzler ~Half a bowl of cheesy pasta from Noodles ~A cat mug of ice cream ~An Amy's pesto tortellini bowl ~Two slices of cheese pizza On an unrelated note, I've been cleaning up our kitchen and I'm hoping to keep it that way this time. I suspect a tidy kitchen will make cooking less of a cho...

On Nintendo

By -
This entry doesn't really fit with the others I've made so far, but today being their E3 presentation day, it seemed as good a time as any to offer a couple of stories and some thoughts on Nintendo. I believe I was six years old when Mario Kart 64 was released. Like any kid at the time, I wanted it quite a bit, and on Christmas, I was elated to find a copy of Mario Kart placed under the tree by my grandma. Unfortunately, as my grandma was a rather stereotypical grandma, she had mistakenly purchased a copy of Super Mario Kart for the SNES, a console I did not own. This isn't to say I blame my grandma; she was just trying to give me a gift I would like for Christmas. Seeing my disappointment, she decided to call Nintendo customer service and explain the situation. They were extremely helpful and understanding and they agreed to take my copy of Super Mario Kart and mail me a copy of Mario Kart 64 in exchange, along with a letter apologizing for the mix-up (which is a bit odd...
