Day 208 Bedtime Curfew 
Day 46 Wakeup Alarm 

Ok sleep, ok wakeup. Definitely had problems sleeping cause of all the tea I drank before bed last night (friends from China are visiting). I’m formally declaring the implosion of Pantry Check, Food Recording, and my Water habit.

I think my Pantry Check habit does nothing for my food habit - a solid Sunday Meal Prep does so much more. My Food Recording does nothing either - I have a post coming up on the Whole Life Challenge, and the reason I like it is that it’s more functional. Recording food on most apps is more about calories, and I’d rather get away from them to focus on quality of food. So instead, the Whole Life Challenge has you taking off points for every serving of a non permitted food item. The “Flash Diet” also seems more functional in that it provides an in-the-moment method of stepping back AND a food log. Lastly, my water habit had no impact on whether or not I woke up early, and I really don’t have much to go on in terms of research for the pure act of hydrating more. If I need it, I’ll add it as a regular habit.

I think there are items I’ve brainstormed that can replace these - for example, a new food recording system, something in the morning that gets me happy and eager to get out of bed (like my original bacon and water habit was meant to do), and, most importantly, a process-oriented half step between Meal Prep Sundays and my goal of eating mastery. But first I’ve got to clear the path.

Day 266 Pantry Check (DiD NOT DO)
Day 264 Food Recording (DID NOT DO)

Early to Rise
Day 197 Water
Day 197 Sleep Recording  (1|9:10|9:20)
Day 168 Bedtime Curfew
Day 6 Wakeup Alarm 61

Good sleep, good wakeup. Drank a lot more than I usually would. It had this weird combined affect with reaching out to friends far away. Either I want to drink while doing that, cause I crave that hit of friendship and connection, or it’s vice versa. In any case I still ended up setting my alarm, which contributed to the huge jump in SRHI scores today. Also ended up going to bed on time. 

I’m restarting my food recording after a while not doing it. I’m beginning to really see my pantry check and my water drinking in the morning as just unnecessary habits. I’m pretty sure about nixing out my pantry check habit, but I’m going to do a little more research on the water thing.

Day 184 Food Recording

Early to Rise
Day 117 Water (DID NOT DO)
Day 117 Sleep Recording (12:10|2:10|6|6:15)

Horrible sleep. Started travel stuff - right now visitors arrived in town, but still in Barcelona. I decided I would record Rowing (Now updated to Exercise), food recording, MAYBE water, and sleep recording. Was contemplating continuing my bedtime curfew - though for this last one it doesn’t really matter or count, since when I travel I usually go to bed quite early. It’s not the habit I wish to establish - the habit is more accurately “getting up early when I’m in ‘normal mode’”. And that’s an important distinction.

I am still thinking about beginning flossing while I’m in “travel mode” - will blog on this later in the week.
