Health and wellness check-in – 7 January 2024



I check in for a week summary of my health and wellness (social, mental, and physical) this past week (Monday 1 to Sunday 7 January 2024). It was a week with a little bit of progress on multiple fronts mentally and physically and with a different approach for some of my social interactions.

0:00 – Introduction and week summary.

0:42 – Social – fed the critters all of their meals this week; interactions while walking; cousin John Dale visited (Thursday to Friday); family friend Scott said Happy New Year when visiting my dad on Saturday.
– 3:18 – Other outings with social interactions included:
– Richmond Beach Library (public library, Wednesday).

3:24 – Mental – a little progress on a spread of things.
– 3:30 – Writing and photography on Yelp – received my Yelp Elite Squad/Member Badge for the 2024 year (on Thursday); reached 4 written and published reviews for January 2024 and for the 2024 year thus far; reached 8 check-ins for the 2024 year (per my tracking).
– 4:17 – Writing for Lucky Wallaby Courier (LWC) – potential expansion of LWC; eating/food; wildlife; athletic performance contextualizations; self-characterization; holiday(s) festivities; movie notes; hypothetical wedding planning.
– 6:03 – YouTube – themed day of the week videos continued; at least one sweet and/or savory eats video each day (filmed and published same-day); hypothetical wedding planning; curation; attempted to address the scenario of people subscribing to this YouTube channel (Tanis Leonhardi) and not being counted as subscribers (neither publicly nor privately); this is my eighth counted year to publish at least 3 videos in a calendar year and at least one video on three separate days (on this channel, Tanis Leonhardi).
– 9:32 – Reading – “Restless Fires” by James B. Hunt (Mercer University Press 2012 published edition – hardcover), read pages 1 through 139 (started reading the book on Wednesday).
– 9:50 – Finances.
– Sweet and/or savory eats videos: 12 videos, 16 products.
– 10:18 – Tracking weight gained as calories I am finding is much better for my mental health.

11:02 – Physical (diet/food and exercise).
– Wee bit o’ weight gain (up to 5.17 pounds of weight gain since September 2023 *New season best/high! Since tracking this way; 5.17 pounds at 3,500 calories per pound – 18,100 calories total; my Dominik Szoboszlai gave me an excess calorie allowance of 4,000 for days 1 to 4 of my hypothetical My Who & My Wedding, I gave him 8,000).
– New running shoes are a work in progress (going through Road Runner Sports per an e-gift card I received from my Aunt Danette who is a fellow runner).
– Running – made my workouts 0 out of 0 days (tried this week with stationary bicycle in place of my walk/run).
– Rowing – made my workouts 6 out of 6 days.
– Strength training – made my workouts 6 out of 6 days.
– Cleaning house/yard work – made all my workouts (2 days).
– Stationary bicycle – made my workouts 6 out of 6 days.
– Got my new medical card for my Medicaid plan with its new name, they also changed my primary care provider again (third in less than a year).
