I sat at my desk here at work this morning dreaming about lying on a beach doing nothing- doesn't that sound glorious? I would love to just have a break and just rest for a couple of weeks. But, I have no spare money or holidays, so it won't be happening anytime soon!
So what I did do was sit down and make a list of all the things that would make me feel happy that I can do now. Things that would make me content! I am the queen of procrastination, so just by doing stuff, I can immediately feel so much better, as I am not racked with guilt about not doing stuff... if that makes sense!
Some of my list includes:
1. Get up and do 1 hour of study before work every weekday: I have been neglecting my PT course I am doing by correspondence as I have no deadlines. So I have been feeling super bad about forking out a load of money and not doing any of it! Well I have done some, but not near as much as I should have. I got up at 5:30am this morning and did my first hour... already feel good about that!
2. Stick to my food and exercise plan: this is something I do pretty regularly, but having strayed from it on the weekend, the guilt is creeping in already! Back to good habits the last couple of days, but will be happier when I start to see the results on the scales. Which brings me to...
3. Weigh myself once a week- I went back to my very bad habit of weighing myself daily! I really go screwy-louie when I do this, as I am on the rollercoaster of my daily weight fluctuations then.
4. Get 8 hours sleep a night. I've started staying up later recently, so want to start making sure I go bed early enough, especially since I want to get up earlier to study! You may say why not study at night then? My brain is dead by that stage! Better to have a sleep and get a fresh head :)
5. Write "To Do" lists at work and work through them. I seem to have become a bit of a scatterbrain as I have got older, so will work better if I do this!
6. Blog only during my breaks at work!! I've got a bit addicted!
So that's the general gist of my list- hopefully by sticking to my list, I will inject some more positivity into my life, and feel a little less like I'm dragging my arse around :)

YAY!! Gotta love day dreaming!! I don't think I do enough of that.
Lists of things are good, and I like what you have written on your blog, they all seem achieveable. I'm the opposite with studying - I can't get up any earlier than I already do, so I have to study at night or on the weekends.
Weekly weigh ins are so much better than daily... daily does my head in too, so I hide my scales during the week, so I don't get tempted. :)
I wish I could get 8 hours of sleep a night... my b/f works nightshift, and I get the lucky job of taking him to work for an 11pm start (he's just got his learners permit)... so no going to bed before 11:30 for me, then up at 6:30am!!
Sorry, I ranted a bit, but hope you manage to work through your list, and keep up the healthy eating and exercise!!

hahah! maybe i should only blog during my work breaks, but that would be boring! lol and i dont really get "Set breaks" so blogging is my break time!
i think weighing once a week is a grand idea lovely girl.
mwahh!
oh yes, we need to go walkies soon, and maybe a spot of shopping too hehe...
