Happy Birthday to Me!
Body: N/A (fasting and resting)
Mind: WIN! (fasting)
Spirit: WIN! (good mood despite the physical discomforts of the day)
Social: WIN! (family visit)
Sunday was mainly occupied with fasting and, as a result, conserving energy, which means deliberately blowing the step goal and only getting small amounts of gentle movement to avoid too much damage from sitting disease.
On the other hand, I was able to endure the discomfort, on my birthday, with good humor, which counts as willpower for not eating (Mind) and just a general display of positive attitude (Spirit).
My parents came in to help with the driving on Monday morning (between the fasting and the Fentanyl, they don't want you driving to and from your appointment), so I got to spend my birthday with them.
I'm not sure what to do with the Body score with this day. On the one hand, fasting and missing my step goal is a fail. On the other hand, there is some evidence that fasting now and again isn't really bad for you. So I'm just going to call this a "N/A" and not worry about it. The point of this exercise is, after all, to stay in the habit of evaluating my wellness, so the odd exception here and there isn't a problem.
