The title is borrowed from a journal I came across at Books Inc, a few minutes back. I was tempted to buy it, but I abstained as I'm also trying to keep myself from hoarding. I realized I had my computer with me, so why not write here.
Its 3:50 pm. I'm at Peet's at Town and Country Village, Palo Alto. Its a great day, has to be, since I'm out at coffee in the middle of the day in the middle of the week. I'm waiting for my class to start, and still have 40 minutes to go.
I'm struggling a bit with my food habits these days. What started so well last year, isn't looking very good. I'm hugely motivated but weak in following through. But I'm pretty good at focusing on what's right vs not. For now:
- the fact that i've kept my workouts up to 3x a week. Its not 5 x but its better than 0x
- I'm drinking a lot more water than I usually do. Easily 1-2 bottles a day.
- I'm not eating cheese as often, and have pretty much cut sugar out of my life
- I'm pretty motivated
What's not good is that I'm still not feeling good about what I eat, and that I'm still smoking a cigarette a day. I'm not great at following some basic rules I set, and that tends to have a downward effect too. May be I have too many rules. So I'm going to bring this down to 3 rules, which I'll try from now until the weekend after next:
- Continue to keep sugar and cheese out
- Exercise 4x a week (2 days during the week)
- Limit bread after 200 pm
There! That's pretty limited and doable. Lets see.
Lets tackle cigarettes once we make some small baby steps.
Its windy and slightly chilly, but tremendously beautiful. I have a good week behind me. I feel pretty good. The bay area is an amazing place, where Peeps and I are making some amazing changes to our lives. Some times, it feels like that's all that matters. Making it count.
Love.
