And Just 4 Today, I’ll drink my fiber twice, drink 2 liters of water , walk 5 miles, NOT eat between meals & NOT take seconds.I think things are coming together into a routine. One of my plans was to help my parents for a few hours every day (or weekday at least) doing anything they might want.
My dad and I have been working on a computer project off and on for over 20 years. But, with me working full time (in fact he was still working full time back when we began it) and the routine emergencies of life — we have a spurt of progress and then have to set it aside for months or even years.
And I could be helpful with projects around the house. Or just company on a lazy day. Whatever — there’s almost always something, isn’t there? But they weren’t really into the idea of me coming every day — it seemed excessive to them. And four days went by where I didn’t visit.
Well. When I showed up yesterday my dad told me that he WOULD like me to come everyday!! It seems he makes more progress on his goals if he knows I’m going to show up to discuss them. Ain’t that the truth – maybe now we’ll see something happen!

OK, I’ve weighed myself AND taken my fiber supplement. I’d be off for my first walk, but I think it’s raining. There’s a heavy mist at the very least….
So, today I’m going to get started on a project that’s been hanging over my head for a couple of years. I’m going to make a list of books to begin the process of either selling them or donating them to a charity. In either case, I’ve got to have a list. (bleh)

This is a test — I haven’t done ANY of my goals. In fact, I just woke up and haven’t even had coffee. I have met my affirmation of weighing myself (Looking GOOD!) But, I’m deliberately writing this before fiber and breakfast and walking or any other progress reports.
For me the single most important part of my day is making this post. The days I don’t post my Just 4 Today are unfocused and hectic. But the days when I post here are dramatically different. So, I’ve decided that rather than wait until I’ve got something to report (which all to often results in missing the post all together) I’m going to post my Just 4 Today goals as early as possible. Then I’ll add my updates through the day — just like everyone else.

And Just 4 Today, I’ll drink my fiber twice (done once), drink 2 liters of water (I’ve drunk about 1/2 liter), walk 5 miles (yesterday, 5.31), NOT eat between meals & NOT take seconds.
In another unscheduled break, I’ve missed a visit from Bombshell. And I miss her dreadfully! I think I missed catdog at the last one. (shaking my head) I should have expected it — but I’ve never made such a big change in my life and had no idea how the upheaval would affect me. It turns out that pressure to “write something” before work was a critical aspect to my blogging.
I’ve continued to be good about walking and NOT eating between meals (I ALMOST went out for ice cream last night though)
I’ve been invited to write health care posts at a political blog though — and that woke me up. I can’t justify writing for another blog if I’m not doing it hear….. Can I?

Working off a list kept things moving yesterday…. I’ve got more than 1/2 of it left though.

Lost in the mist of Things I Never Did, is reading Getting Things Done, by Davide Allen. I bought this book last December on FARfetched’s recommendation. And immediately got sick -and sick again and again and again - through the rest of winter and all spring.
So my project for today is to start reading Getting Things Done. And then? HA! Start getting things done, of course….

I’ve been sorting books and papers and uncovering so real gems along the way. You’d think that would be a good thing. But, I find myself sitting in a corner on the floor reading. Which is exactly how I used to get out of cleaning my room when I was a kid. You’d think I might have progressed in 50 years. You’d be wrong, I guess.
What I should be doing is keeping a notebook with me every minute so that as I read I can keep track of the good stuff. My dad has been sending me magazines and articles (packed with thrilling health news) for years and this would be the perfect time to share it with you.
Will I? That’s my challenge for the week. What about you?
What are you going to do today?

To no one’s surprise but mine, this has been a very confused week. I’ve been very, very sleepy — to the point where I can hardly make myself do anything (although I have been taking regular walks.) And the week has flown by faster than I could have imagined. You’d think I’d be bored with time-dragging since I’ve got so little to show for myself….
Yesterday, I defied mister (who has heard about my regular walks but, never actually witnessed how it works) to actually take my 3 walks (not just one long one with him.) That last one was wonderful. I felt like I was degaussing my brain. As I walked all the random splotches and odd colors were sorted out. The patterns were normalized. And I could think clearly again.
So that’s my biggest plan for this holiday. Sure, there will be plenty of patio blogging, hamburgers and baked french fries. From this Independence Day forward: I will walk alone (at least once a day.)
It’s like learning a new job. Yesterday was prepare the trash day. Which means lots of paper sorting and cleaning and bagging trash. It turns out they pick up the trash at about 8:45am — who knew? If it was left up to me the trash wouldn’t have made it out because I was still in my robe. But mister knew to get it to the curb yesterday.
Today?
We mowed lawns. With rain expected tomorrow he wanted to get yard work done today (he planted a couple of privit hedges too). Walking while lawn mowing was about 3.28 miles.
And my actual walk this morning was 3.15 so I’ve gotten a lot of exercise.
I’ve settled on faking myself out by calling these next couple of weeks “vacation” maybe by the time there up I won’t notice that I’m not going back.
I’ve got a lot of ideas for Eat4Today as the summer progresses but it looks like the actual implementation will reflect the pace of the rest of my adjustment. I’m hoping to spare you most of the details. But don’t be too surprised if some of it leaks out.
The Summer of Revelations may effect our lives in more ways than one….
