Memoirs of a Tomb Raider

 Good morning beautiful readers.   The last few days have been strange. Feeling strange, Time is strange, it all just feels strange. Maybe it's me, or the pandemic.  Maybe its the weird way the pandemic has made time go faster and slower at the same time.   Friday, this Imgur post really resonated with me. Time, and how I see it  Recently I started to feel a bit lost. I usually just band-aid that shit with busy work, but even that lacks je ne sais quoi . So, most morning, I go through my email and notifications, and NERDFITNESS came up again. I had used their app for 2 years and loved it, recently just fell off the wagon.    But, personal coaching. That sounds scary.  So, I have a  call today at 11. Maybe. I'm still scared. So I am doing it.   Because I am not going to let fear hold me back. Oh wait Its 197 a month.... let me think about that. Well, what HAS worked for me in the past? 1. Surfing Pinterest on Saturday for meal plans.  2. Spending sunday doing meal prep 3. Pre-w

 It's been a minute, hasn't it? I sit at my desk today, drinking Rosemary tea, and I don't feel amazing. I feel tired, run down, apathetic, and like I am looking down the ark hole of " why?"   I am not even sure why I am writing this.  Small things help. Music, I listen to ambiance coffee shops with Jazz on you tube, and enjoy the decaf coffee. Yeah, I started drinking decaf.    My brain keeps looking for reasons I don't feel awesome. I worked out pretty hard on Monday. I ran, lifted, and had a lot of steps for my " Outbreak App".  The weather is changing.  But also, I am tired and frustrated that COVID is still around and I feel unsure about what I am comfortable doing.   My brother asks me about how the government is using fear to control us.   I just don't have the energy to give a shit about Qanon.   Yesterday I posted that if people are pro trump, anti vaxx and anti mask, they can unfriend me. SO far I have 141 friends. The number hasn't

Intro: I recently signed up for a Weight loss program called OMADA. I don’t know about you, but gained some weight over the pandemic. Stressed? Eat. Bored? Eat. Worried ? Eat. This was my response to life. My goal is to lose *looks up goal on body-space.com- clenches jaw-heavy sigh* 39 lbs. Yikes. I mean, that's my “Shoot for the moon”. I can do this. I mean, I like I challenge. Right? So here we go. Omada was offered through my insurance and it is really no stress, slow and easy, habit shifter. With a coach! I have been in it for 3 weeks and I weight myself everyday. I have let go of the judgement, because it doesn’t help. Turns out I have some pretty good habits and then self sabotage on the 4-5th day. It appears I struggle with balance. Here are the things I am learning on the journey. 1. Shifting Language=Shifting thoughts 2. Drink more water? 3. Don’t restrict, just push out all food with veg. So here we go. 1. Shifting language: I’m not losing weight. That makes my psyche puc

 Good day fellow readers and health upon you.   I started  taking Lions mane.    Well, I have been taking a smaller dose for about 2 months and now am amping it up to the real deal.  Since February 13 I have been taking  5mg of creatine ( Creapure by Muscle feast) 2 tablets of Stamets 7 ( includes 143 mg of Lions mane 2 tablets of Mycobotanicals Brain (300mg of lions mane)  and now LIONS MANE! ( 1 tab is 500 mg)=943 mg of Lions mane a day, starting today ( at 12:47pm, to be exact) It is now 13:25.  ------------------------------------------------ Does it help my concentration? Does it impact the anxiety I feel ? WILL IT MAKE ME FAT?? Will I finish my Book?   These are the questions I ask,   Lets get after it then, and I will check in intermittently.  Stay tuned!  

 Welcome readers! Well, today as I write is  Day 25/Feb 26: The weeks are flying by per usual.  The last few days have been rough, but I intermittently get some chanting in.  Whats new?  My weight is fluctuating between 155 and 156, but my body weight is still at 29%( no idea why, the only change that makes sens is the addition of creatine .) On a side note. i have been ridiculously sore the last few weeks, of working out every other day ( Mon,wed,fri) and only lately have I got my sleep under control. ( My malamute likes to go outside a lot at night-                                                          How I love my little chunkin'all 72 lbs of him ANYWAYS:  Update, I can do  pullup, ( its messy though) I have lost 10% body weight I have started Creatine I have also received an Apollo Neuro,  which I use the shit out of and it helps immensely. ( More on that in another writing)  I have started working on my fiction again  and yesterday, I started working with the RPdiet app o

 Day 11 /Feb 12: My day off, and a lot of snow in our area. I Worked out ( because its a habit now;)) and have plans to write! How exciting! Also, my interest is again piqued on Randonauting.  Also, I think I am almost at a full pull up.   Day 12/Feb 13: Buckle up bitches. I lost a lb. Also doing more research into organic/chemical free protein powders. I gotta say, there are far and few between in supplemets I trust, and I do a lot of research into what I consume.  TopSpots: Protein: Unico Nutrition PumpkinSpice Latte   The product blends so well, and I had no idea how spoiled I was until I tried a different product which was super chalky.  But I have been contemplating creatine......... But if I take it, what kind?  How often? If I quit, will I lose muscle mass? Now I love Thorne supplements. They are legit in my mind, and were recommended by a fellow nurse.   But I am already taking amino acids, by Unico when I work out. ( ANd they really help muscle soreness when I do. ) So quest
