Yoga and some other strength training exercises to get my body used to it. </div><div><br /></div><div>Since I wrote last I think I've only not been in bed by 10:00 once or twice, on days I didn't have to get up at six. Now the trick is developing a routine that helps me be asleep around 10:00 on those days I do have to be up at six. </div><div><br /></div><div>Green veggies at most lunches and/or dinners, at least one meal a day has been about 50% green vegetables. </div><div><br /></div><div>I need to develop a more accurate method of reporting.

The first task:</p><p>Take a few minutes and visualize yourself, 10 months from now. What will you look like? How will you have changed, inside and out?<br /></p><p><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Ok</span>, so physically, I'd like to be slimmer. Mentally, I'd like to live up to my ideal of humanity. Blah, blah, fishcakes. I tend to set super high goals and of course am then discouraged at their loftiness. So, my first goal is to set manageable goals. </p><p>I could say I would like to lose so many pounds. But what I will say is I <span style="font-style: italic;">will </span>make consistent exercise a part of my life.<br /></p><p>I could say I would like to eat healthy all the time. But what I will say is I <span style="font-style: italic;">will </span>increase my green vegetable consumption. I like them, why not eat them.</p><p>Also I <span style="font-style: italic;">will </span>develop healthy sleeping habits. As an insomniac (or perhaps someone who's mind is too busy to sleep) I am tired almost all the time. I know that exercise and a better diet will help me sleep better and in turn that sleeping better I will be more inclined to exercise. <br /></p><p>It takes eleven weeks to make some a habit, right? Or is it twelve? I'm determined. I owe this to myself. <br /></p><div></div>Kristen - 2ndgenlibrarianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00766966543087521416noreply@blogger.com0
