Plan D Day 57

OK. I have a sugar headache. I’ll admit it. Peanut butter cups last night.

But, the insane urge to raid my son’s Halloween candy has gone. Just not of interest right now because I have one month and thirteen days left before the end of this Plan D.

The focus has to be on the carbs and not losing time I could be doing fitness. For example, I have a lunch meeting today that I can’t avoid, which kills my time at the gym. I did however force myself on my bicycle this morning, which felt good except for a minor interaction with a driver at Dunsmuir and Burrard.

A lot of stress management is to not let things vex you more than the issues merit. Donald Trump, for example, is vexing but you can’t do anything. This should not even be on a burner. If volunteer work becomes stressful due to the behavior of others, that’s a back burner item. Your family and current job matter more.

The conscious mind mixed with conscious breathing is how I plan not to let things bother me. Yes, I ate peanut butter cups yesterday. I don’t plan to do more. Let’s move along. There will be no self-hatred or other wasted energy.
