Well, it took forever to find a damn camera and get weighed in. I was ready to just forfeit the whole thing. But, pushed a little harder; found the camera; uploaded the pics; couldn't find them on the computer; looked and looked and looked (and popped a can of soda...tsk tsk); found 'em; loaded 'em backwards; said screw it and went to bed.
That was last night. Tonight, I get home and there's a message asking me to do it again (cuz I wrote down both words instead of just one). Sheesh... Done. Accepted.
And now here I am with just 13 days to go. What can I accomplish in those few days? I don't know. It may not be enough time to get any habits formed or unformed. It is certainly not enough time to lose 8 pounds - the way my body works.
So. I am setting some new goals - some that I will have a better chance to meet. What are they? Hold on! I am SETTING them now.... Any ideas?
Okay. Here's one: I am going to TRY to eat a bit healthier. Today, I drank water instead of soda. I even grazed the salad bar downstairs. Then I untried and ate three snack packs of peanut butter M&Ms cuz my tummy was growling. So. I'm gonna call today a victory cuz the trys won 2-1. Yay me.
Next goal: add another flight of stairs to my daily travails. Each morning I go up two consecutive flights of stairs when my train arrives. I considered going down and back up again before waddling on to work but, at my advanced age and fitlessness, decided it might not be a good idea. Maybe I will try and add a non-stressful (no mob impatiently swarming around you) flight or two around lunchtime, eg walk down and up 15/18 instead of catching the second elevator. Will try to remember to test that one out tomorrow.
And so the journey begins...
