Updates After Sickness (Flossing Superhabit)

I'm finally back.

I've been sick for almost a month. I thought I was getting over it 9 days ago, but it came back with a vengeance. While it has completely messed up a lot of my individual instances of habits, I have kept a few things up.

First, I've been keeping up my flossing, both recording it and doing it. Flossing is now a SUPERHABIT, after achieving scores in the 80s on the SRHI for the last week. I plan on experimenting on the best ways to stretch the habit, which should be easier since it's a simple matter of counting teeth. This should get me a full 3 dimensional graph of the entire process of long term change from a behavioral standpoint. 

I've also successfully kept up with my Sunday Grocery habit in a new location, and eating has worked pretty damn well. I've been pairing this with a very specific thus far off-blog experiment - a 90 day no beer challenge. I'm on day 19, and the technique I'm using is working both effortlessly and flawlessly. More on that in a later post. 

I'll also be posting on two other projects. The first, a new take on getting up early, got interrupted by my sickness, but I think I still got some interesting data from it. The second, on writing, is still a work in progress, but I hope to soon set up trials on how to level that up shortly.

But before all that, I intend to slowly get back to my full complement of habits at levels back before my sickness.

Day 52 Flossing (SRHI = 64, 6 teeth)


Good sleep. Really sick, day trip. Only got home to at 2 am. Recorded only to observe that because of the change of location, I'm not really certain if I flossed today. Usually I floss in the shower, but because theres not enough of a ledge, I haven't been able to have it out, so I end up brushing, and therefore flossing outside of the shower. It's interesting that just a simple changeup can interfere with a habit at the brink of superhabit status.

Horrible sleep. I've been massively sick for the last week and a half. I've also moved into an apartment in Houston, making this move from Spain to the States official. It's been really hectic, because we really don't have anything. Combined with the massive heat index, and it's just been pretty horrible. Still, not once did I stop flossing, so I'm pretty sure that's a superhabit now. It's unfortunate that I didn't have the will to record this last week, because I really wanted to have a clean graph of my habit model, from habit, superhabit, and in the third dimension, the number of teeth flossed. Ah well.

I'm back to my "structured randomness" eating, my Sunday groceries (at a new store), and lunch salads. I've also added another challenge  - not drinking beer - since it seems to really mess with my stomach these days. I'll be posting a full post about that soon.

Horrendous sleep. Tested out two night time rituals yesterday - cold water face plunge and a hot bath. Had the worst sleep, woke up several times during the night, once freezing cold, the other really hot. Felt incredibly sore the next morning, so opted out of workout. Felt horrible in general - headache, upset stomach - so went down to minimums.

Great sleep. Meditation has been super intense lately, and it has left me very unfocused for the rest of the day. The lag I've had this last week between my meditation session and actually starting in on writing has caused me to move over my workouts so they either have to happen fast or not at all before I cook for dinner. The good thing is that my eating has been almost flawless with very little effort due to this new structured randomizing of meals.
