A Lucid Moment

I was poking through Google docs today. There's my plan to reclaim the house, mostly completed. Oh, there's an old food diary. Hmmm.
I made a copy of the diary. It's a spreadsheet that lets me record what I eat and drink, mt weight each day, exercise I've done and how much sleep I get plus notes.
I made a me plan to complement the house plan. It currently just has habits I want to form:
Cook every Sunday to have lunch packs for work during the week.
Walk every day.
Clear couch, armchair and coffee table and keep them like that
That last one is really more part of the house plan, and I've included it there as well. These documents will evolve.
This evening I did clear the chair, which was piled high, mostly with laundry.
I filled the green waste bin and put it out because it's bin night and it's a green bin week.
When I got out the front, I decided to walk around the block. Not fast enough to be breathing heavily but I think I need to regain muscle tone first. That's still about 840m of walking (thank you Google maps)
The real question is whether I can maintain this. Let's see. The worst that could happen is that I wind up back where I was. Allons-y.

Right. I have developed some bad habits lately, some worse than others so it's time to knock them on the head. I'm posting this so that there's some accountability and I can't just weasel out later with nobody the wiser.

Smoking: This is the worst. I took it up again at the start of last year when my world went kablooey. I cut myself some slack but since moving in with a smoker things have spiraled out of control. No more.

Alcohol: This is a sometimes treat, not every day. Three days per week alcohol free at *least* and drink as if I was driving when I do drink, even if I'm at home.

Trashy snacks: Confectionary, bready stuff, chips and cheeses. I need to back way off with these...there's a veritable smorgasbord of the stuff next to me at work and I have to make myself ignore it most days.

Exercise: This isn't bad but it's time to bump things up a little. Be more consistant and intense with cycle commuting and when I'm not derby training, do core strengthening exercises.


I can have the body I want if I work at it and I *know* I'll feel so much better on several levels if I do.
