I’ve had a hard time staying productive at work this week. I’m getting work done, but I’m having such a hard time staying focused that its been taking me 10 hours to do 8 hours worth of work. Such a waste of daylight…
Of my new year’s reforms I’m having most success with this one, no lapses in the 30-in-30 yet.
Next best is the eating. I’ve being as good as I have ever been in my life as far as not binging, eating 3 meals a day, cutting carbs goes. I’m not 100% and I thinks that’s way over-ambitious for me to aspire to. I’m happy with progress so far.
I noticed something interesting today. First let me tell you that I love crisps. Two packets of crisps and a chocolate from the vending machine would often be my whole lunch. I could also and probably have eaten a big packet of chipniks with a tub of dip for dinner … I hadn’t eaten crisps for 2.5 weeks until this morning, such dedication! (Power outages have also helped: a couple of times when I’d made my mind up to go to the vending machine there was no power) Today I got myself a small packet of plain salted and scoffed it down in 0.57 seconds. Then: I felt ill! It was weird. I have heard heath-nuts talk about how junk food makes them feel ill, but I assumed they were just rationalizing. I think next time I’ll have to have some dip with my crisps, a nice creamy one to make my tummy feel better …
It’s possible I have lost some weight, but I’m not checking. The measly 0.5 kg’s of last week was pretty depressing so I’ve decided to wait a good while before weighing again.
The morning person story is failing miserably. In this rainy weather I’ve been getting up on average half an hour later than I was last year, so I think I get a D- minus for this one. The sun’s starting to rise noticeably later now also, so this is going to be a real struggle for me. I suspect I may need to change my nice gentle alarm tone to something more violent that gets the adrenaline racing. Maybe sirens or somethings …
SO that’s this weeks summary. Maybe tomorrow I’ll think of something more interesting to write
