Starting Thoughts (4-30-23)



Last month, I lost between 12-14 lbs (depending on accuracy of scale). I successfully made entrees here in my Healthy Pauper journal, I portioned my food, I went to the gym 8 times, kept my food budget in the $200 range. I started listening to a HealthyGamer GG video every day, organized a few things around the house and read/took notes on If Life Is A Game, These Are the Rules + most of Life Strategies and some of Atomic Habits. There was a lot of life changing work and it was an A+ kind of month.

My biggest struggles
1. night-time binges 2. toxic gossiping 3. upper back pain 4. avoidance of finding a doctor & making an appointment 5. taking my supplements 6. brushing my teeth every day 7. powdering my boobs every day 8. applying psoriasis every day 9. making food plan in advance (esp towards end of month) 10. brushing the dog every day

So these 10 challenges are the things I want to work on.

My goals for May
1. 12 trips to the gym 2. less than $200 in groceries including transportation fees 3. lose 8-10 lbs via simple diet & exercise 4. no trips to kitchen for snacks between midnight - 6 am 5. reduce toxic gossiping to/about Frank; focus on what I like/am grateful for about Frank, Meg, Bris in particular and others in general. 6. start brushing teeth every morning before 8:30 am 7. powder boobs every day when I get dressed & when I go to bed. 8. apply psoriasis medication when I get dressed & when I go to bed. 9. find a doctor and make an appointment 10. find a dentist and make an appointment
