Monday

I've had a dry throat recently, that I think might be some amount of acid reflux. I've almost been thinking about losing weight, or dieting, again, and how I need to get my sleep schedule back on track.

Apart from that - work, cooking, podcasts, was my entire day, really.

Tuesday

I couldn't find my pass for work, and ended up getting up very late for work, because I didn't sleep the night before. I felt very out of control, generally. In the evening, I searched around for my work pass, tidied the fridge and my room a little, and that was about it.

Wednesday

I repainted my nails, and did some violin practice. Plus work, of course.

Thursday

My new mandola arrived! It's quite fun to play but I need to find some things to use it for, for example transposing a few songs down an octave to play them.

Friday

Work, washing...

Saturday

I went to the cafe in the morning with my parents, then to a do at the allotment, then to my violin lesson. I can't remember the evening.

Sunday

I went and bought eggs, then walked up to my sister's house to see my niblings, then listened to a couple podcasts, and finished up adding all the books I own into the new CSV. Now I just need to add the historical books I've read, start using it to track the books I'm reading now and in the future, and get the C++ script finished to validate the data and run stats off it. Patience is a virtue.

Stats

Screentime

32h 30m across the week. Particularly bad were Friday (7h 18m) and Saturday (6h 41m). Rest of the days were around 4h, except Monday at 2h 36m.

This is... really bad. A lot, in fact almost all, of it, is watching Youtube, particularly podcasts. As such, Brave takes up a full 1d 1h of the time, with next up being an app called Kreate for listening to music (1h) that I am fine with, Hinge (1h) again fine with, and Whatsapp being 50m. The tuner is a full 30m, too. I'm going to consider watching podcasts fine, but say it should happen with the screen off to not inflate the screentime figure. I have now banned Youtube on my phone, so with any luck the figure for next week will be significantly lower.

Approximate calories and protein per day

I didn't count calories for every day, but of the days I counted:

  • Tuesday: 2280 kcal and 111g protein
  • Friday: 2060 kcal and 89g protein
  • Saturday: 2095 kcal and 93g protein

  1. Rice
  2. Banana
  3. Orange
  4. Apple
  5. Lentil
  6. Tomato (as puree mostly, but real toms too)
  7. Peppers (bell)
  8. Onion
  9. Garlic
  10. Buckwheat
  11. Soya (yogurt, tofu, milk)

Plus lots of eggs. This is 26, and there a probably a few that I am forgetting about, so all in all I am not too unhappy with it.

Next week I will try actually get to thirty.
