Comments: So this week was a tough one in some spots. On the bright side, sleep was better than I had expected. On the not-bright side, I was generally having trouble getting up a lot of energy — I think it’s the semi-lockdown taking a tool again.

I had high hopes in the last check-in for following up with the strength item, but that largely didn’t happen. We are, however, waiting for a portable air-con/heating unit for the garage, ordered from Costco. My appetite for cycling and other alternative cross-training just didn’t materialize, so taking away the temperature as an excuse might make sense.

The three days when I noticed myself having trouble around the ‘impulsiveness’ item were all related to snacking. I think a lot of that was mood-related, although not necessarily correlated to sleep quality or volume. I am pleased that I didn’t let the mood-related stuff get out of hand.

Otherwise, things were okay, I suppose. I was bummed that I broke my writing streak, hitting neither journaling nor the websites. On the bright side, the tendency I have to procrastinate was also less prominent. I still have my life-long conflicted relationship with a task or to do list. This is something to look at more closely.

This was not a good picture.
