mornings

The month has flown by pretty quickly, and I will admit while writing every day has been interesting, I know that much of what has gone up here for content is not up to what I would have liked it to be.  I’m happy to say that I have managed to get something written every day, even if it’s just throwing a pic or two up, but I know that I will probably not keep up the “every day” mode after this week.

This whole process has proved to me that I can stick to a schedule though, and that was part of my reason for participating.  It’s said that it takes 28 repetitions of something to make it a habit, or something like that.  So 30 days of sitting down here every morning to let something out of my head has done some good.  I’m definitely a morning writer, my only problem is that I soon get distracted by my day.  The next step is to plan ahead and make sure that the distractions aren’t there first thing in the morning.  That would make sense wouldn’t it?

It’s not something I’ve mentioned here, but I’ve jumped back on a weight loss program as well.  Great thing to try and do over the holidays, but at the same time, this is the time of year when I really need to watch what goes into my body.  I get these consultations once a week, and it’s starting to actually sink in this time, as opposed to the attempt last year to do the same thing.  I’m the only person who can make this work and do something about it rather than just sitting here accepting that I’m really crap at pushing myself.

What is going on right now is that I’m realizing that I’m slowly getting away from some of the things that trigger me to sit around and ignore all the things I should be doing, because it’s easier than trying and not succeeding.  The whole vibe is making lifestyle changes, and I’m trying to do that with writing as well.  I guess I’ll see where it goes over the next few weeks.
