resolve

Well, I didn�t do anything constructive last night. I entertained many notions, but all I ended up doing was sitting around, playing on the computer, watching television, and stuffing myself full of enormous quantities of Italian food and ice cream. I�m very out of control at the moment, and need to rein myself in. I don�t know why I�m like this�what set me off. But it has to stop. I am making a conscious effort today to put a stop to the nonsense and get back to my sensible lifestyle. Maybe if I post this here, it will spur me to exercise some control over myself: Today, the second day of August, 2005, I am going to achieve the following�
- Drink the appropriate amount of water
- Eat only the appropriate foods, in appropriate amounts
- Take exercise in the form of a brisk walk, for no less than 30 minutes
Simple enough. I will do this, because I am an intelligent person who is more powerful than her addictions.
Okay. I wrote that this morning. At the end of the day, the score is as follows:
Water�approx. 100 ounces consumed, for a perfect score of 10
Food�not so great. Did well till the end of the day, and then ate a biggish-sized blackberry sundae. And a brownie. 6 out of 10.
Exercise�despite oppressive heat and humidity, I did take a thirty-minute walk around my neighborhood, and kept up a reasonable pace. 8 out of ten, because I only did the minimum.
Better, but that�s only 24 out of 30, or 80%. I want to see myself at 95% compliance. At the very least.
Reading: �NIV : The Authorized Biography of David Niven�, by Graham Lord.
Listening: XM �Fred��REM, Toy Dolls, Elvis Costello, Ultravox, The Clash, Oingo Boingo, and other nearly forgotten favorites of my youth.
Beading: A bracelet in peach and crystal (color), right angle weave with over-beading, using seed beads, Czech Firepolish, and Swarovski Crystals.
One Year Ago, I have a feeling I wasn�t very nice to be around.
