Day 3

A Year from Now, you may wish

 You had started Today

-Karen Lamb

It is difficult to keep to your word when you know you suck at it.  I know the problems are disorganization and motivation. Working on them is big challenge. 

Honestly I didn't prepare well for the beginning of the first week of the project.  I let some things slide pass unchecked and I didn't place enough importance on sleep schedules.  I focused on what I needed to do while I was awake. And yes I protested too damn much.  In my defense I was following the saying fake it ‘til you make it.  Although it is ironic to delve into pretense to bring about action and permanent positive change.

Here are my misdeeds; I didn't meet my daily post deadline.  I didn't record any calories; I didn't wake up early enough.  As a result I haven’t started the exercise routine.   My good deeds were that I started the 100 days on schedule.  I did eat oatmeal with fruit for breakfast.  I did drink more water and eat more fiber in the form of nut and berries. 

Every new day is a beginning.  I love mucky junk like that.  I could be Mary Jane Paul of Being Mary Jane except I think I am shorter than Gabrielle Union and I use my post-its for story notes.  I tried putting one or two up and ignored them completely.  Enough digression, what I will be doing to rectify my small lapses is work at doing a better job, starting today.  I now that posting every day is difficult especially if nothing particularly interesting is going on.  Trying to hammer out 300+ words without mentioning the 300+word challenge has become more problematic since it has now become a daily write.   I look up to the quote on the corner of this post.  Because that feeling of “I should have” has been hampering my well-being for longer than I would like.

In conclusion, I will go to bed at a reasonable hour with the intention of sleeping.  I will listen to my alarm clock.  I will wake up, cringe and do an exercise routine, write the morning pages, tweak the post for tomorrow, eat a healthy breakfast. I will make up for day two by having a healthy and full day four.
