In my last post I made a promise to have my goals ready by Monday... Thankfully I didn't specify which Monday though :) My internet connection has been down for what feels like forever, it's somewhat back now, so I wanted to give you an update on my goals and how I'm doing.
The key word of my life these days is "change". I've started to make some changes in myself, that I hope will reflect how I feel and how I act. I'm certainly feeling a lot better about my self that I have in a long time. I don't have that complete list of goals ready yet, I'll try to do it in a few days time. But I've started making a list of goals that "I can definitely do", and I've started checking them off too. Here they are:
- Stop drinking soda. For years I've been one of Coca Cola's biggest customers, but not anymore. I'm done. Well, I haven't had one sip of soda in 4 days. The first two days were rather horrible, but I'm starting to feel more energized and happy. The soda has been replaced with water and smoothies. And to be honest, a mango/apple/banana smoothie is ten times better than a glass of soda. Yay me! I do have one last bottle of soda in my fridge...If I could only bring myself to pouring it down the drain. Baby steps.
- Get up earlier in the mornings. This is a really tough one for me. But I am improving.
- No chocolate... Yes, I'm almost tearing up writing this. I haven't had one piece of chocolate in 6 days! And I was mighty proud of myself yesterday for turning down a piece of my favorite kind. Stay strong, stay strong!
- Go for a daily walk/jog. Again, I'm doing pretty good. Today I even went for a walk in the pouring rain.
- Make a decicion on where to live. I'm almost there. Right now I've pretty much made the decicion, now I just need to figure out the logistics. Stay tuned for more info. All I can say today is that it is a rather huge step!
