Mac and Cheese and Canasta with Papa and Gym and hot tub

Updated: Apr 25, 2023


April 23, 2023: Alright today I didn’t do much. I literally just did my meds at 7:01am this morning with a cup and a half of oat milk for 12g fat. Then I had some Special K before meeting with Jessica. Then I met with Jessica and she talked to me about a pro/con list for different jobs, and then I copied it from her message and made a Google doc of it. Then after Jessica I went over to Papa’s house and we made mac and cheese that we ate with broccoli and hamburger meat and he ate his with peas, but I hate peas. So after we ate we played a few rounds of Canasta, which was a good point in my day. And this time I won by a lot, unlike the last time we played. I also decided to share the Google doc on jobs with mom and I filled out and sent the I-9 to Second Harvest Heartland for my one photo assignment. So that was me succeeding in making me a tiny bit of money this month, which keeps me on the employed persons variation of my benefits, which is better. Then what I did was I left for my personal training at the JCC with Will. Today he was actually training a new trainer named Russel. The three of us talked quite a bit, including about ages, since we’re all about the same age. Will did say that he’s the youngest trainer at the gym, and we also talked about the fact that I had a different trainer before him who I didn’t get along with as well as I do with Will. I even randomly remember saying that I had used Will kind of as a therapist a bit, even though I didn’t write that statement down at all. Will asked me for advice to give to Russel about becoming a trainer and I told him to try to talk to your clients and try to not be 50 years older than them. Oh and I'm adding this the next day from my phone but Will took this photo of me doing the leg press. After training I went into the hot tub for a bit, which I have a photo of because it was actually my BeReal today, and then I asked Jodi and Bill if they were doing anything. Jodi said she was working tonight and there was some talk about Bill trying to go to the 6pm yoga class, but he decided he couldn’t get there in time. So I went to the 6pm yoga class alone, and it was nice. I admit I definitely felt like I liked my barre class more, and also the one I did the other day with Lisa. So I didn’t take photos there and I didn’t even stay til the end. I left at around 6:40, which then put me perfectly on time to get home at the exact time my medication alarm went off. So then I succeeded in taking my night meds exactly 12 hours after my morning meds, at 7:01pm. Right after that I walked inside and heated up a Power Bowl with 9g fat. I had like the last bite of the Chinese rice with it too, and I think I was at 10-15g fat easily. Honestly it was a good dinner. Much better to do the meds with dinner and have dinner be the right amount of fat than take extra snacks that I’m not hungry for.
