End of month one!

Gee time flies, February already, some things have changed but others, despite efforts have fallen behind.

The coke and the 30kg goals have not even started. My major problem is the tomorrow excuse, at 7 am when it is raining, I really really don't want to go for a walk. So the 'I'll start tomorrow' comes into play. I'm not sleeping too well at the moment so it is even easier to go back to sleep especially during holidays. The problem is tomorrow never comes! But in order to be 30kg lighter that walk needs to happen!! With winter coming it's only going to get harder. Yes I could put on a jumper or take an umbrella, but bed is so much more inviting!!!!

So I'm just going to bite the bullet and do it. We will try different things to get over this, whether it's a different exercise, bike or swim if the weather is playing dirty! A challenge, calories, distance, time, we are also trying to get to bed earlier.

On the other hand, things have changed, 1 piece of clothing sewed( pj pants with music notes and frogs) and another one on the way( a cross over top for work). A painting painted, ( a picture of wicked) some auslan learned both with miss m and by myself. Most of my students coming back so goal of $50,000 on the way as well as another afternoon full of new students from a school I teach at.

So, by the end of February I hope

1. Lose 5 kg
2. Be teaching, 6 students a day
3. Save $500 in my saving account
4. Start dealing with some of the garbage
5. Clean out the corner boxes
6. Start practice for at least 20 minutes before I start teaching

Thirty things day 4 and 5!!

Best laid plans!! Totally off the rails the last 48 hours. Distraction and procrastination are my worst habits atm. "must do that" " oh yeah what about that" and the classic " can't be bothered, I'll do it tomorrow. The problem is when you say 'tomorrow' every day then nothing gets done!!

The next week or so looks the same. TaTo and family are here. I forget when I am not working how much children demand attention. Ta age 6 and To age 3 never stop!! Days are full of guinea pig cuddles, ball games, painting, drawing, computer games, swimming. How do u fit anything else in??

So I decided, on 15 minutes, giving myself timeout during the days. 15 minutes to send that email, 15 ideas for more students, 15 minutes to work on that room. After all do that four times during the day, and I have spend an hour on that goal!

So the alarm, is set for the walk tomorrow. And the to do list about to be written. Hopefully by the end of tomorrow I can feel back on track
