Sleep: Went to bed early thanks to jet lag. 9:30 PM – 4:50 AM. 7 hours 20 minutes. I stayed in bed until about 6:20 AM, but never really fell back asleep.

Program: Kneeling prayer this morning, meditation after the team meeting. I used SH to measure “stress” immediately after meditating, & my pulse was 60 BPM & blood oxygenation was 96%. My blood oxygenation is usually lower than that & my pulse higher, so…. Hey! Meditation helps with stress! #WhoKnew

I need to contact Pastor R* to see if he knows anyone at HFASS who might be willing to sponsor me. I think I need a new approach.

Work: I got to work early – about 7:45 AM. I got a decent amount of stuff done.

Food: I got some quick kitchen tasks done this morning (unloaded dishwasher, started another batch of bone broth). I had early coffee w/cream, then ate standard breakfast (casserole, keto biscuit) around 11 AM. A handful of cashews around 2:00 PM. Then M* came over for dinner, & I made keto fish sticks & tartar sauce. They were SO GOOD. Between the two of us, we ate 1+ lb. of fish, then split a bowl of salad. I am going to make more fish sticks later this week to use up the rest of the tartar sauce.

Exercise: OK, the plan was do the pre-hab & Day 1 of the new yoga routine this morning. But when I woke up, my arms were still so darn sore that it just didn’t seem like a good idea. So instead, I packed a simple workout bag & brought it to the office. I walked/jogged on the office treadmill for 20 minutes, making it 1.43 miles. Baby steps. 1,764 steps / 39 minutes active, not counting the treadmill time. That will improve when the doggos are here.

Mood: I had a headache again today – third day out of the past four. It’s wearying. But M* & I had a good evening hanging out – talking, sharing photos, laughing.

Grats: 1. Headache cleared off in the afternoon. It might be a hydration issue plus Shark Week. 2. Delicious dinner with a friend. The most basic of pleasures. 3. I managed to overcome a reason to NOT work out & still get in a little bit of exercise. That’s five days in a row now.

Sleep: 11:30 PM – 4:50 AM, 5 hours 20 minutes. I had trouble winding down last night, even though I knew I had to get up early this morning. I didn’t sleep long, but at least I slept well.

Program: I prayed at the gate at the GSP airport. I meditated in the afternoon.

Tasks: Travel day, then reset day. I made two grocery runs, started making bone broth to use in soups for next week’s AA Ladies Dinner, made a breakfast casserole, unpacked my suitcase, ran some laundry, & was generally productive all day.

Food: Before getting on the plane, I chugged a coffee w/half’n’half & ate three taquitos. When I got to Union Station I ate a second breakfast at Snooze: a 3-egg omelette with sausage, bell peppers, & spinach, a bowl of (really good) fruit, & a thick piece of rye toast with a thin smear of jam. More coffee. Pre-church snack: celery w/almond butter. Hot chocolate at Advent service. Dinner was chicken involtini & a green salad w/Primal Kitchen Caesar dressing.

Exercise: I bought a 28-day yoga program off of a Facebook ad. Today I practiced the “bonus pre-hab exercises”. They are pretty hard! I’m hoping the program isn’t way above my ability level. 9,711 steps & 96 minutes active – mostly walking to King Soopers & church/Natural Grocers.

I feel like I somehow deserve some exercise credit for the flight home - I swear, there was NO heat on the plane! I've never been so cold on an airplane. I had my hat & gloves & coat on, & I was still cold for the entire flight. No love, United.

Also -- I am really, really sore.

Mood: Decent. I’m glad to be home, I got a good amount of stuff done around here, I’m looking forward to December’s activities.

Grats: 1. Made it home safely & didn’t spring for a Lyft (yay sticking to mass transit plan!). 2. It was good to see some familiar faces at church tonight. 3. I’m full, clean, safe, warm, & ready to sleep then go to work.
