IT'S NOT THURSDAY

I spent the whole day yesterday thinking it was Thursday.  Really.  I spent the day washing my hair and finding clothes and doing laundry because we were going out for dinner with Andrew.  Somewhere along the way it came to my attention that it if Monte had a doctor appointment on the 3rd, was going home the next day on the 2nd because of it, then that doctor was working on a Saturday…and he does not work on a Saturday.  Jeez, so discombobulating!

So at four in the afternoon I took a huge lump of totally frozen pork ribs, thawed them in the microwave and put them in my roaster and by seven we had a yummy rib dinner on the table.  Then we watched a hockey game we had previously recorded.  Totally fun.

Earlier in the day I stumbled across something that has got me going.  I was perusing amazon.ca in the kindle section and came across a cheap (1.99) little book that immediately caught my attention.  The name of that book is "52 Small Changes".  Upon further inspection this book proposes that each week for one year you make a change in your habits.  The life coach who wrote the book suggested that by the end of the 52 week commitment you will feel and be better.  She also mentioned that none of the changes are extreme or huge and it could be you would already doing some of them.

If you have been reading this blog for any length of time you will remember that I had stumbled across that website that suggested you take on something, anything, for 30 days…which led me to writing a poem a day for 100 days.  It was exactly 100 days to Jan. 1st 2013…and I did.

This kind of thing really appeals to me.  So I have decided, with out peeking ahead to see what the changes are, to commit to this 100%.  Each Monday I will put down here what the new change is for the following week and how well I have done with the previous one.  I will keep it short and hopefully not boring!  Immediately after making this decision I read the preamble to the book and started week one.

Week one is all about drinking more water.  Water everyday.  They suggest your weight, divide it in half and thats the amount of ounces to try for.  And in my case that is a LOT of ounces.  She did mention that everyone is different and what you are doing exercise wise and what the temperature outside may be etc…but to pick a good number for yourself and go for it.

I am NOT a water drinker.  Never have been except when my blood sugar is ridiculously high.  So this morning I worked out how many of my water bottles I have to drink in one day and its kind of alarming I must say.  But I shall do it and continue to.  Monday I will look at the next one and let you know!
