I'm trying very hard to not beat myself up tonight. I haven't got around to doing the 5 mile walk for this week. I have been very involved in a project where I am volunteering and this is the final week...it has to be in place by tomorrow for Friday. I probably have time to walk, but I'm distracted and pre-occupied. I have been doing the daily walks...30-60 minutes, so I guess that's positive. I'll get to it, do 5 before I do 6 and move on in the training. I have plenty of time.

Today I finally managed to drag myself up and do the things I have set intention to do...journal, meditate, etc. That's positive. The meditation was short and my mind goes off on its little jaunts and I know it will be easier with practice. Started with 3 minutes and a candle today.
The weather is finally headed back toward winter in the PNW. The temperature will be higher (40s), but the clouds are rolling in and it will probably rain tonight. :/ It's hard to decide if I would prefer more cold and possibly more ... no, it's not hard to decide, really. I think I would like to live somewhere that winter is cold, snowy, but the sun shines on a regular basis. The rainy, dark, damp of the Pacific Northwest chills me through every winter. While the summers are fabulous, they may be too short to make up for the months of overcast. But I'm here for a few more years anyway, best just settle in to live with it.
I'm starting to get a routine down as far as exercise and training/cross training. If I don't make it routine I am far less likely to follow through. I think it's good to know myself that way. :)

Not so much to write about today. It was sunny again in the PNW. That's always nice this time of year. DS and I went for a walk on the beach. It was darn cold, but we could see both Mt Rainier to the south and Mt Baker to the north...gorgeous. Always takes my breath away...
We walked for nearly an hour, half of it walking the stairs...65 stairs, up and down 10 times, plus a few more along the way. DS smoked a cigar for a bit. I think they smell nice from time to time, though I'm glad it's not a habit for him.
After that we went grocery shopping and I got lots and lots of good food for us. Including plenty of fruit and veggies, but not so much that it will go bad. And I replaced the HFCS ketchup finally, with a brand that doesn't have any.
So it was a pretty pleasant Sunday. Good way to ease into a busy week.

I've been thinking this past week about the New Year. I don't do resolutions, though I try to set a few goals, outline objectives to meet them, and consider Intentions. I've not yet written anything anywhere that is clearly defined and cohesive for this new year. Since I have already determined I wanted to journal more here, this seems the place to do that.
Naturally, high in my consciousness is the whole weight loss, fitness, and health stuff. I will be continuing with the plan I've been using, it seems to be working as at least as well as I work it. There is huge room for improvement in that.
-1500 kcal goal
-NO MSG, NO HFCS, NO Artificial Sweetener
-Limit sugar and carbs
-Water water water
I could do well to improve my diet by eating vegetables more consistently.
The other doctor recommended aspect of this weight loss plan is being physically active at least 30 minutes most days. I have no excuse for not doing that, minimally, every day. I am making that sort of thing an integral part of my life anyway, but it never hurts to be really clear about things.
I intend to:
-Spend at least 30 minutes a day being physically active.
-Train for walking a Half Marathon on March 20th, and further, a Marathon in the Autumn...hopefully in Dublin with my friend, Loopy. :)
-Starting January 7th through the end of March I will snow shoe or xc ski most every Friday
-I will get back to a yoga class at least once a week and stretch some every day
-I will dance at least once a week with my Dear Spouse. :)
-I will do other activities with DS and on my own for pure pleasure and cross training: walking stairs, swimming, biking, hiking, and whatever else I can think of!
Two other habitual activities I want to develop is a daily meditation and daily journaling. Being mindful is a big big part of my mental health recovery and can only enhance absolutely every aspect of my life. To make that happen I will:
-Get up with DS, thus starting the day a bit earlier, and first spend some time--starting with a few minutes and increasing as my ability increases.
-I will set my phone alarm for a couple times during the day to check in mindfully with myself as well.
-I will also spend 20 minutes journaling every morning. Therapeutic writing means writing on a troublesome topic every day for four days in a row for those 20 minutes. Some self-discovery journaling would also be useful.
-Besides the written journal, journaling here most every day is something I want to do. Less therapy, more sharing and tracking.
I may add some other things to this list, but these I think are the main things I want to focus on through this year.
