Daily Check-In, Tuesday, March 10

I'm feeling motivated today! I plan to fast again today, and I'll resume my eating plan Wednesday (I think - I might fast one more day...). Anyway, it's a beautiful day outside and I'm planning to go for another walk today - I got up to two miles yesterday. Now I'm working on 3.

I did get all my Bible reading caught up yesterday, and I'll continue on schedule today. I also plan to read at least one chapter from my February book and my March book (I selected "Shaken" by Tim Tebow for my March book). Last night, someone called me out on my addiction to my phone - so, I'm planning to have my no-social day tomorrow, Wednesday, 3/11.

I completed course #2 of 16 today in Coursera - so I'm making steady progress on my IBM Certification in Generative AI Engineering. Things are going well!

Lastly, I really need to record my podcast this evening. I'm so far behind in that.

Daily Check-In, Monday, March 9

Okay! I gotta recover from Friday and the weekend. Friday was a bust! Then I had lunch plans with a former colleague in Raleigh - we ate at one of my favorite draft houses where I had the meatloaf (not terrible, but I ate the corn and potatoes that came with it - definitely not carnivore). Then I had a plate of pasta for lunch Sunday, and a bowl of three different soups at a dinner gathering Sunday night. Oy vey...what am I doing?!?!

No excuses - that's my thing...so I'm not making any. I made some bad choices...full stop!

It's only March - I have 9 more months of accountability to put into practice, and I don't want to let myself down. Today, I'm fasting! I gotta clean all that yucky out of my system. I'll probably fast again tomorrow. And, today, I'll also get my bible reading caught up.

Daily Check-In, Friday, March 6

Well, today was a near total loss. I didn't lack motivation...no, I lacked time. My workday consumed me (which is when I usually do my bible reading), and I made the choice to watch a couple of movies instead of devoting time to studying or reading my February book. I'm getting really behind with my podcast (I have 3 to record and I need to build my week 8 script out). I need to get a grip and catch up before I get so far behind I get overwhelmed and quit!

Daily Check-In, Thursday, March 5

I went for a walk today and, oh my, I must say, it felt wonderful outside! I'm totally loving this early spring weather! I hope it last 😆

Regarding my goals, I worked on most of them today. I enjoyed a 30 minute walk at the track, was faithful to carnivore today, and complete my daily Bible ready for both yesterday and today. I also completed a couple of tasks in my Coursera studies for AI and began preparing to record a few episodes of my podcast.

Overall, a great day (and a beautiful one)! I'm feeling really good!

Daily Check-In, Wednesday, March 4

I weight in this morning at 240.8! That's exciting! But I managed to have an almost all no's day. I failed to read my bible, or pray, or strictly follow carnivore/keto. I didn't read any of my February book, nor did I spend any time studying AI today.

Not a total loss though. I had a LOT going on at work today, then went for a walk to get some fresh air and exercise, and then had church choir practice. Sometimes life just gets in the way of goals - but it's not going to throw my off my game! I'll tackle it all again tomorrow!

Daily Check-In, Tuesday, March 3

I had a good day yesterday, and I slept really well last night (if you don't consider the loud, unexpected boom that happened at midnight - no clue what the source was). Anyway, I'll finish my fast today, and hanging in there with my other objectives.

I'll also finish the first module of my second AI class today, and going to read through at least two chapters of my February book today. I'm behind on recording my podcast, so I'm going to try to squeeze time in to get caught up recording this evening.

Daily Check-In, Monday, March 2

It's March 2 - the first day of my 2nd restart. You see, I attempted to restart after my return from vacation; however, it did not go well. I failed at nearly every turn.

This month, I return to carnivore, will catch up my monthly book reading (finishing February's book, and completing a new book for March), will commit to observing at least 2 no-social days, and will purpose in my heart to spend time with God in prayer - something I've neglected to do, and I don't really know why.

Today, I fast! Tomorrow, I fast! Wednesday, I'll drink broth. And Thursday, I'll resume my carnivore plan.
