100 Days challenge - the first 7 days

Thank you Linda, this has been fun focusing each day, and finding an image to illustrate my journey.

Day 1 01/01/10

The first day of a new year, and like most people I was in no mood to greet the dawn, having had a very late night.

For me, it is important that I get enough sleep. I need my eight hours or I am cranky, and more likely to eat all those things that I am trying to eliminate from my diet.

Day 2 02/01/10

Saturday is my shopping day. So my very comfy Dunlop volleys, get a workout around the supermarket, and for a wander around the rest of the shopping precent.

This is the only day of the week that I manage to accumulate 10,000 steps. So these shoes do much more work than the hideously impractical dress shoes I spend the week days in.

Day 3 03/01/10

Sunday is the relaxing day of the week in this house. The day to recharge the batteries and to plan the coming week. This day I pulled out my recipe books, and selected some dishes to put on the to do list.

My latest acqisition in Jane Kennedy's " Fabulous food, minus the boombah". I love the no nonsense, no excuses accepted introduction, and I have a few of the recipes on my to do list.

Day 4 04/01/10

The first day back at work after Christmas, so the activity level was decreased. The curse of driving a desk I guess.

I play a game with myself here. I can only buy a morning cappuccino if I get to work early, and go for a walk around the block first. I still work into my points, but this way it seems like a little reward, to start the day right.

Day 5 05/01/10

With the warmer weather here, it is so much easier to drink my water. I usually switch to herbal teas in winter, so that I can warm my hands around the mug.

I have learned to like tap water, since coming to Weight Watchers, which is a much of a surprise to me as to anyone else. However I do prefer filtered water, and this jug is just the right size for me.

Day 6 06/01/10

Wednesday is my meeting day. I have an abysmal attendance record, but I am hanging in there. I finish work at 5:30, and the meeting is a t 5:30, so it is an interesting juggling act.

Yes I am still working on a 2008 record book - and on week 17 at that, but I am going to fill it before I start another one. (Did I mention that I can be pig-headed)

Day 7 07/01/10

Today has not been the best foodwise. A rushed lunch at 2:00 is not a good idea, especially when you are not prepared, and have to take your chances with the local cafe.

Today's picture is the jigsaw I started over Christmas, and have done a bit more to each night. It keeps me from sitting in front of the idiot box thinking about what I would like to nibble on.
