Let's Try This Again...

This is the summer I get my act together. Last summer I was dealing with some major FND symptoms. Mostly I'm symptom free so I get to use my body at severely out of shape baseline.

But my goal over the summer is to loose 50 lbs amongst other things. I am like 350 lbs right now and I get winded going up a flight of stairs. My heart is literally going to stop if I don't turn this around. 

To do this I'm going to do several things. The first is I'm going to do a virtual walk through Rohan. It's $50 and you get a fancy metal as well as some virtual postcards along the way. I'm also going to do 30 sustained minutes on the stationary bike, 15 minutes of body weight training (M:arms, W:legs, TT:core, F:yoga) 15minutes on the heavy bag and 30 minutes of stretching. The goal is also to eat under 2,000 cal. With a protein shake for breakfast, veggies for lunch, banana and yogurt for snack, I have almost 1400 calories to play with for dinner as well as popcorn or carrots for husband time snackage.

 I want to stop vaping. I've stopped smoking. Now I just need to stop vaping. To do this I'm going to slowly decrease the amount of time I vape per day over 8 weeks. Like, one week Im not allowed to vape until 8 am. The next week I can't vape until 10.

I also want to read a fiction book a week if not more. Then I'm also going to read a non fiction book a month. For fiction I'm going to read the following authors: 

Terry Goodkind

Caro Verona

Piper CJ

Xiran Jay Zhao

Octavia Butler

Vonnigut

Kendare Blake

Victor Hugo

Then the non-fiction I'm going to read is:

The last viking by Don halloway

And

Reefer madness by Eric schlosser

I also plan on writing daily. I have no word count goals, and I'm not picky about what I'm writing as long as I'm writing. I've got a book of poems, a short story series about paranormal creatures, and a sexy smut novel. Hell, as long as I'm writing I'm okay with going out of that fairly narrow selection.

Per usual for my summer, Duolingo and Khan academy both show up for my summer break. Duolingo is Spanish Mon and Wed, Arabic on Tues and Thurs. Friday is for Japanese. In Khan academy I'm doing all the core subjects (math, science English and history) as well as programming.

I'm also making time to clean daily: cat litter and laundry daily...as well as a different room every day. Then I'm also doing big projects such as fixing holes in walls and hanging pictures.

I'm also playing guitar, blogging and video gaming.

My morning routine includes journaling and reading the newspaper. I shower daily. Lastly my evening routine includes brushing my teeth. That means they get brushed 2x a day.

I'll share more details tomorrow. I'm going to do a major update.
