Ok, ok! I know! I am late! I failed to deliver on the second day! it's horrible! what can I say?!
I can bring lots of excuses. I was busy, had many things to do. I went playing squash with my supervisor (I couldn't say no to him!) Then I had squash clinic. Then went to cinema to watch Star Wars: Rogue One which by the way was nice but had a very sad ending :-(
But what matters in the end is that I didn't do it! I couldn't stay true to my commitment in the first day, and that's lame! I'm sorry! I apologise to myself.
Anyways, let's go to the important stuff, since I am also very busy today. Just quickly, I should mention that I have three major tasks today which I am going to take care of right after this and by the way I am writing and publishing this on Wednesday, but I consider it my Tuesday's post and will later write another post for Wednesday! I am doing this just to convince myself that I technically did publish one post per day and therefore I didn't really fail! Because if I have failed myself so quickly in the beginning, there's no hope to keep-up for 100 days. So, ok, this is Tuesday's post!
Before writing this post, I wanted it to be about five things that I would like to improve in 2017, you know, just to mirror my first post of five things for which I liked 2016. But now, I think I should do it some other time, because it needs a calmer mind and more preparation which I don't have right now. Therefore, instead I am going to quickly report the highlight of my days one and two (Monday and Tuesday) and wrap up.
On Monday, I wrote my first post and made myself happy about 2016. I did some work for Green SEAMS project and then prepared the first problem set for the course MECH 321 for which I am a TA this semester. I went to play squash after nearly three weeks and in addition to having fun, it was confirmed that I didn't gain extra weight during the holidays, which is awesome.
On Tuesday, I wrote a couple of paragraphs on anti-icing coatings for Green SEAMS, trained Alexandre on the confocal microscope. I played squash with my supervisor for six games and I beat him for the first time in one game! I think he kind of allowed me to win by not doing his best, but generally I was happy with my squash and I think I am improving. Bahareh and I went to squash clinic afterwards. The instructor is nice (I just found out that his name is Giovanni) and I think he will help us both improve further. Bahareh and I I went watching Rogue One with Arash, Arash, Behrang. It was nice, and I was saddened by the ending but it didn't have the magnificent vibe of the Force Awakens.
So that was that about what I did briefly, I just wanted to add my meal plan for the two days:
On Monday, I had oatmeal for breakfast (set for 500 calories), an apple, nuts, two clementines, and a banana as snacks during the day, a fish wrap for lunch (set for 600 calories) and squash soup for dinner (400 cals). I was quite happy with the diet and I think I managed well. Since I am not smoking regularly anymore, I am rewarding myself with a nice chocolate each night which actually has worked nicely so far! (power of habit, replacing the reward! trading cigarette for chocolate!). On Tuesday, I pretty much had a similar meal plan, the breakfast was a smoothie and for lunch I had the chicken korma wrap. after dinner, I felt an urge to eat and I satisfied it with a large zucchini which helped a lot.
Today (Wednesday!), I am going to work on slides for Phobic2Ice meeting, compile the information for Green SEAMS as discussed with Christian and finally try to work on Nima's proposal.
That's it for today (Tuesday!) Will be back to write Wednesday's post.
