Daily Reporting for 16th January
Disaster! Well ok, thats putting it a bit strongly,
Woke up an hour early, then dozed off for 2 hours, :( so all in all I'm out of bed an hour late :( very disappointed with myself.
Really must get into going to sleep earlier.
did 30 mins meditation. slightly fed up with having the attention span of a goldfish. yes yes i know i'm meant to be accepting, non-striving, non-judgemental... why is this all soooo hard??? bet the dalai lama doesn't have this problem. end of moan.
I am sure my water retention/constipation problem is over (almost). My weight loss is more stabilized now.
Another session of rigorous aerobics and I weighed 73.0 kg today morning
Alarm went off at 5AM. Next thing I know my wife wakes me at 5:30AM. A little unhappy with myself. Lest you stand that you might fall- I Cor 10:12 I was a little overconfident that this was getting easy after 6 days. Hey it's better than 9AM my old sleep in time. I'll get better over the weekend!
Day 16. Another morning with 10 minutes of meditation. Today was hard: my cat decided to join me, but couldn't sit still, and kept going around me in circles, then sitting in front of me, then trying to get on my lap. Additional complications of sorts. When she finally left, it felt better.
Day 16 - reading task completed though not at my normal time. Got up late today after a restless nights sleep. I will admit that the thought of reporting my completion made me remember that I had forgotten to do it earlier in the day.
Day 8. Still right on track. This focusing on one small habit idea is great! Definetely making a difference in my life.
Day 8: 20 minutes meditation session done this morning !
Have a great day !
This is my day 8 of waking up at 4 am... out of bed at 420am, slept again at 530am to 730.. still happy with my progress. Slowly I can remove the tendency to sleep again after an hour of waking up. I feel fresh throughout the day.
I got up early today! Still sleepy and I really have to use the computer (not read a book) when I get up because it's too easy to want to go back to sleep while reading a book. I am writing a bit these last couple of mornings.
Day 3: Successfully got up immediately when the alarm went off at 6:20 and touched my toes 10 times. Felt pretty groggy and tired despite having fallen asleep at 11:15 or so... I think 7 hours of sleep is suboptimal for me. Four, six, and eight hour sleep intervals seem to better. Anyway, after the toe touches i stayed up and made coffee and oatmeal and now everything is fine. Come to think of it, I woke up on my own at 5:20 this morning (right after my 6th hour of sleep), and went back to sleep because I wanted to wait for the alarm. I think I am going to avoid 7 hour sleep intervals.
I am surprised that the sleep deficit that you must be creating by so consistently waking up early hasn't forced you into bed earlier by drowsiness. did you sleep a huge amount on Jan 13th?
Done my meditation. Yestarday I forget to report but I've done it too. No malaria but I'm not feeling really well....I will see after the week-end.
Wow, just realized how badly I need my solitude in the morning. I got up late. I was not focused and not relaxed- and taking it out on myself, my wife and the kids. Of course all 3 children were up early and like little energizer bunnies. It all started with a bad decision last night to not put the work down. I was working on a fun squidoo lens and couldn't stop- thus I'm reaping the effects of the bad decision almost 12 hours later. Time to switch mental gears.
Today I am thankful for: 1. all the emergency people who helped save the passengers in the down plane; 2. my son's flight to Charlotte is TODAY, not yesterday; 3. that thought takes all other thoughts away.
Day 16: Got on the bike for 10 minutes this morning, I knew that if I left it for the evening I would be too tired to exercise.
