Day 1 Recap

Day 1 came and went yesterday without too much excitement. I was able to start implementing the strategies to achieve my goals. I've decided to start things off gradually rather than jumping into it with an all or nothing approach, to avoid a system shock and giving me a better chance to adapt and make a smooth transition.


My Goals

The goals that I most notably worked on yesterday were:

• stop bad habits
  
• have shorter showers
• Exercise more- improve basketball skills
• Clean teeth twice daily
• Improve diet

I haven't bitten my fingernails at all this summer and all my showers have been less than 4 mins long, I've also cleaned my teeth morning and night. We had a 2 1/2 hour long basketball training session which was good exercise, but highlighted the fact that I need to work on my shooting skills. My plan for this includes buying a basketball and setting up the ring in the back yard so I can put in a bit of practice each day.

One of the most notable things that came out of yesterday was my realisation of my addiction to soft drink. After basketball training I often feel a strong urge to go and buy a coke, because it refreshing but also because it will replenish my sugar levels and give my a pick up. Coke is obviously not good for my teeth or my diet so I'm going to try and combat this buy drinking Powerade which is meant to be excellent for re-hydration and replenishing energy stores, while not being so bad for your health.

Plan for Today (Day 2)

I'm going to have a fairly relaxed day today, mainly working on my website business which I hope to have up and running before I go away camping on Thursday (the 6th). I might also spend some time practicing my card manipulation skills. I'm probably going to a party tonight where I'll get to see a lot of my old school mates so that should be pretty cool.
