Origin Story: Week 1 Day -1

I've taken some time to consider my rules for myself and my goals going into tomorrow.

It's important to know when my origin story ends so here are the goals I've currently set to define completion of this phase. There's no time limit. There is only actions repeated over time to create habits. There is no measurement of my body included in this either. It's about creating a lifestyle. Any other benefits are secondary.

By the end of my origin story I would like to have built the following habits:

1) eating within 200 calories of caloric goal 4/7 days per week

2) spend thirty minutes moving my body in some fashion 4/7 days a week

3) get 60 oz of water 4/7 days per week

4) get 7-9 hours of sleep 4/6 nights per week

5) write 100 words per day 5/7 days per week

6) spend 3 hours per class each week on classwork

7) save $20 each week

8) hit all self care items 4/7 days per week

9) try something new once per week (recipe, exercise, location, activity, programming, etc)

If I can maintain all of these habits at these rates for a month, I'll know that I'm ready to move onto the next phase.

START SMALL was one of my biggest rules. So we're going to pick a focus and we're going to set the bar low to keep tracking easy and not overwhelm ourselves. To begin, Week 1 has a focus on hydration. For week 1 I would like to get at least 30 oz of water in per day 4 days this week and 60 oz of water in at least once this week. I will allow 10 oz of that to be any beverage that isn't soda or alcohol. I can drink soda and alcohol if I so choose but it does not count towards my water after 10 oz.

Origin Story: Week 1 Day -5

As I get prepared to officially start on Monday, Origin Story: Week 1 Day 1, I wanted to take the next few days to wrap my head around my plans going forward. There's a few things I want to keep in mind going forward and that's what this post is going to be about.

1) The plans and routines that I find on Tumblr, on Google, on TikTok - they are NOT going to work for me. They might provide inspiration but they cannot be copy and pasted into my day. Any attempt to do so is going to clash with the life I have now and it's going to be equivalent to setting myself up for failure. MY PLAN IS MADE BY ME FOR ME.

2) Whether it's the undiagnosed (soon-to-be-diagnosed maybe) ADHD, anxiety, depression, laziness, etc - it doesn't matter if it's a good reason or a bad one, things have to change. Motivation will fade eventually. There needs to be a plan in place for when motivation fades and those excuses start making noise. SELF DISCIPLINE IS BUILT NOT FOUND.

3) My failures in the past didn't come because I was physically incapable of making good food choices or exercising. My failures came from mental hurdles that I couldn't jump over. My failures don't make me a failure, but they do give me an opportunity to look back and see what can be improved. Some of those I'm working on and need outside help for. Whatever the solutions, it's important that I recognize that I won't always be able to jump the hurdle. I AM DESERVING OF GRACE ESPECIALLY WHEN I FAIL.

4) Drastic changes, clearing out the fridge to replace with better food and spending five or six days in the gym for an hour from the start line is not realistic. I'm an all or nothing kind of person but it's shooting me in the foot every time. If I want to get somewhere with this, I need to decide what my goals are and slowly introduce habits into my life that will make changes so I can reach those goals. SMALL AND STEADY IS BETTER THAN BIG AND BAIL.

I think tomorrow I'm going to try and take some time to formulate some goals I'd like to reach before moving onto the next phase of this. What are my origin story goals?

Kind of want to delete and just start over. Kind of feel like that just ignores all the effort and lessons I've learned thus far.

Wait, I might be dumb for asking this, but aren’t feminine men called dandies?

in like the late 18th to early 19th century Britian, “dandy” referred to men who paid a lot of attention to personal appearances. later on it referred to a handful of kinda playfully GNC artist guys, but I don’t think it’s ever been a universal term for all feminine men

also while I was double-checking my info i found this

which is just *chef’s kiss*

I don't know if anyone following me plays ESO, but I started guild trading this week and made almost 500K gold and then won the raffle of 1mil from my guild and I am very excited about it.

Also, if anyone wants to friend me on ESO I'm @ZillaBird. Try to put something in the message about Tumblr.
