New month and a fresh start.
I’ve gained several pounds and am going to take them off. I think I’ll just post my daily weight here à la Bridget Jones.
Day 1
weight: 149lbs
units of alcohol: 0 This is in arrears for yesterday, just in case anyone was worrying.
I have a feeling that will only last a couple of days – but I might as well give myself a structured start or I’m going to put on another 7 then another and and and, voilà, I’m back to where I started. And not happy.
Laziness is my worst personality trait along with over-thinking things that I should just let go. So here’s to a fresh start at a concerted effort to push through the laziness barrier and do the things that I don’t feel like doing. Take the walk, make the phone call, cook the porridge, lift the weights. And, most importantly, come here to write and be accountable to myself and the tiny community that reads this. It does make a difference to know that people are reading and watching the process.
Really – it’s not hard and I have a pretty marvellous life. I just need to somehow get past those times when I find myself paralysed my stress and indecision. I’m 49 years old and “doing the right thing” still doesn’t come naturally to me, as long as I’m the only one to suffer from my negative behaviour.
So, for today, and one day at a time for the foreseeable future, I’m going to do the right thing for myself.
