Ok....so I had a couple bad days of eating.

And being too busy ( and tired ) to workout.

Time to get back to business. I think I am a couple pounds up but am not going to worry, I am going to act.

This morning:

Water, coffee, monster ultra, supps.

These. Pre meal & lunch with a friend.

I have a picnic later.

I just saw a video of how the people.on my 600 lb life adore actually treated.

Truly heartbreaking. I want to find their tik toks, but I am often too busy for tik tok so who kn9ws when that will happen.

I gave myself quite a few days to eat whatever I felt like I wanted or needed, to eliminate some food noise/cravings. (Terrible period, Triathlon, Aftermath). It was quite a lot.

Time to start chasing some numbers now..... apparently I decided to do a half marathon.

So.... running training begins... prolly tomorrow.

Back to the basics:

1. WATER.

2. Nutrient dense.

3. Daily exercise.

4. Meditation.

I got this! Woo!

After revisiting the DOAWK franchise, I got the chance to watch this movie:

After watching it… well it’s not a favorite and I can see where the haters are coming from. IMO it’s not good but it does feel like it gets more heat than it really deserved. Would I prefer any of the previous three films over this one? Definitely!

What bums me out about this is that I feel like if the Long Haul was taken in a different direction, maybe even with the cast we got, it might’ve gotten better reception. The film shows the road trip was Susan’s idea, and I think they were trying is to develop the relationship between her and Greg. Kinda in a similar fashion like Greg did in the previous three (first Rowley, second Rodrick, third Frank). It needed some different writing. Instead of a reboot of the live action universe, just make it a completely different AU separate from the original trilogy.

Whenever he remembered this conversation, Maurice would blame the rich wine for his loose tongue. At the moment, however, it crossed his mind that if his daughter could face a near-mob without showing fear, he could sit across the Dark One and have a conversation with the creature who had stolen Belle's loyalty.

"I don't like you."

Rumpelstiltskin raised an eyebrow. Humor crossed his expression, though he gave the courtesy of not laughing in Maurice's face.

"I suppose it doesn't come as a surprise," he grumbled.

"Hardly." Rumpelstiltskin chuckled. "You might say the assassination attempts clued me in."

"I sent those men to collect my daughter." Grudgingly, he added, "At the time, I believed she'd welcome her freedom."

"She's made a deal with me," the Dark One said unapologetically. "As for the orders your knights carried, what Belle believes they were and what they told me is..." He gave a shrug, mimed a pinch between thumb and forefinger. "...just a tad different."

Maurice looked away.

"Oh, I don't blame you. Foolish things are done to protect a beloved child, I've found." At a wave of his hand, the bottle moved to refill Maurice's cup. "A toast to fools, will you? And don't worry, I'm not telling Belle anything she doesn't want to know."

Before he could stop himself, Maurice groaned. "That girl always wants to know."

That startled laughter out of the demon at his table.

Maurice blinked at how human he sounded.

"True enough," Rumpelstiltskin allowed. "It's one of her better qualities."

Maurice took a long swig from his cup, to give himself time to consider that simple statement. It sounded honest. No wonder his Belle stayed in the Dark Castle, when no suitor Maurice had scared up had ever come close to appreciating her appetite for knowledge.

In that moment, he decided he would always blame the wine for his next words:

"Belle likes you."

Rumpelstiltskin's odd eyes blinked rapidly, and his mouth thinned. Maurice didn't want to know what emotion hid behind that mask.

"And I do like your wine," he continued in a more jovial tone. "Is there more?

Yes, the wine would be at fault.

He didn't need to know anything else.

The End

Alarmingly, more and more [long COVID] patients are also meeting the criteria for myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), which in its severe form has been compared to “late-stage AIDS, multiple sclerosis and kidney failure.”

Ryan Prior's 'The Long Haul' documents long COVID advocates - Los Angeles Times

... activist-patients have led the struggle toward acknowledgment and research in the hope of finding treatment and eventually a cure. From their beds, long haulers found each other over social media, organized and began doing the impossible. Support groups created a space to be seen, to share symptoms and stories that turned into “vital information about the long-term effects of Covid-19.” They met not merely to console but to mobilize, and they collected data as “regular citizen scientists rather than the political and medical establishment.” 

As their numbers grew, one of these groups, LongCovidSOS, organized a meeting to present its findings to the World Health Organization — whose director-general observed: “It appears that patients are writing the first textbook on long COVID.” Soon the CDC began reaching out to long haulers for notes on symptoms, compiling and publishing one-page briefings that even included, for the first time, the hallmark symptom of ME and now long COVID: post-exertional malaise. These collaborations led to the CDC’s guidelines for long COVID — signaling that the establishment had confirmed the existence of the disease.
