Day 2
Date: 22-May-2025
Theme: Nourish, Not Neglect
What I Did Today
It was a busy day today. Got busy with Little-R playing Uno cards once she came from home. She’s just four years old but loves to play Uno. Its one of the best times of the day.
I decided that I want to watch a movie tonight alone – after a long time. So I asked permission from Li and I booked the new Mission Impossible movie for 7:30 PM today. I’ll start for that once I submit this.
I also cooked tomato-cheese omelettes for family and I. I hope they like them. It has got lots of protein and tomatoes. Does it count as nourishing? I hope so 😀
Another point that I was supposed to think about today – ‘why do I matter’. I feel the answer is quite simple for this one… I matter because I have responsibilities – I need to take care of Little-R and Li. My actions must matter for this – why else… unless I have mis-understood the ask here. I believe I can make a positive difference in their lives by being there and being a better version of myself.
What I Felt
I feel like I am on the right track. I have been happy today. I like the way this feels. While making the omelettes I felt like its not enough and had doubts if I’m cheating. But I cooked it anyway. I am feeling very anxious about going to the movies alone. I feel like I’m doing something wrong. I can’t understand why this simple thing is bothering me this much. Going to the movie feels wrong, cancelling the ticket feels wrong too. Its perplexing.
What I’m Learning About Myself
I have been gaming since 2001. I have always loved video games. Recently though, I haven’t been feeling so charmed by the games I usually play. I understood that its because the missions and tasks in those games aren’t that exciting anymore. This however – the mission to get better, the quest for 10 days – it excites me. Perhaps the trick to getting what I want to achieve is to gamify this whole process. Getting to my target weight is my mission and these daily activities are my quests.
One Thing I’ll Do Tomorrow (micro-promise)
Tomorrow I promise myself that I will begin some form of exercise. I will do some research. I’m hoping the AI will help me build an exercise plan. Must discuss my exact goals etc.
