Week Notes – Aug 19 to Aug 26 2024
🎽Something happened that my left hip started hurting to the point where I couldn't run and even walking was painful. I took some days to rest from running/walking and did lots of slow stretching to recover. Also, soaking in a hot bath helped relax my tense muscles. I went for a walk yesterday with no issues, so I try a run later this week.
✏️ I moved my daily journaling to 750 Words.
💻I'm rethinking my online content consumption. I've deleted the RSS feed reader app from my phone, and I've been doing some feed curation.
📕 I abandoned a book I was reading for my Book Club. It's a sci-fi book part of a well-known series: Surface Detail by Iain M. Banks. I couldn't get past the fourth chapter which has a description of a virtual hell with lots of body horror/gory details. I couldn't finish the chapter, so that I was the cue for me to realize this book is not for me. I'm glad I didn't force myself into finishing it.
🍎I started a diet plan issued by my Registered Dietitian. I loved the plan because it's simple and doesn't have any complicated recipes. I'm adding more fiber and protein to my diet while at the same time balancing the amount of food between snacks and meals. The plan is to eat more often in less quantity at once, so that I don't have my stomach too full (which worsens the acid reflux). Also, avoiding trigger foods. I'm still keeping a food diary to note symptoms.
🥣 So I had chia pudding for breakfast for the first time! I added blueberries and sliced almonds. For some reason, my chia seeds took 2 nights to gel up well. Maybe they are old/stale? Anyway, I liked it, it is fulfilling and light at the same time.
🏖️ I'm looking forward to the upcoming long weekend. Yay!
