Sounds like an improvement! I guess that´s the goal of the whole thing: finding out which of your habits are genuinely useful and which are just... mindlessness.

I have to workout early, otherwise I just blow it off. The reflection walk sounds really nice!
I love the idea of a reflection walk. I actually did that one day - walked around the school when I picked my kid up at school, and saw all these practical nice gardens that I got ideas from, an organic farm that was just gorgeous in the afternoon light, and a little pygmy goat in with the chickens and geese. It was a lovely walk, and you are inspiring me to do more of this sort of thing!
Also I have been getting up an hour early to meditate - same reason as Jenni - otherwise I blow it off. It's actually nice getting up in the peaceful morning and doing something for just myself. Hope you like it, too!

I was just discussing coffee-drinking with my colleagues and they were saying that they have a coffee every morning before they leave the house. I laughed at the idea of it - I never have time for a hot beverage in the morning, I'm always in a hurry running out the door! Which is a horrible way to start the day I've realised.
Anyway, my point is that getting up an hour early might turn out to be a wonderful thing!

Well I woke naturally early this morning and am browsing and replying here for now. But I will get up in a few minutes . My plan was to work out but I have a really sick feeling in my stomach. I have to go to work no choice but I'm going to do hair wash and shower and relax getting ready. Will do my early morning workout tomorrow as I guess I can double up on my daily challenges . Think iit says can repeat .
Had a nice day yesterday, did my little constitutional and will do more of them.

Em I always sit with my breakfast for 20 mins before I leave the house .I was just discussing coffee-drinking with my colleagues and they were saying that they have a coffee every morning before they leave the house.

I need to ease into my day & always have. Even now, not working I still need to just chill in the mornings with my diary & coffee after breakfast. We may all start exercising in the mornings. I'm going to try, starting Sunday.
I hope your day at work is not stressful Petal xoxo

Hope you feel better, Petal. I need at least an hour with my coffee and reading before I'm ready to do anything!

Hi all well yeah I have not been well at all between sick stomach , dreadful headaches and fight with hubby . Also I cannot understand the website in German which for some reason I get taken to frequently on my iPad . So have accessed through phone .
I’m so enjoying my little challenge . I have kind of repeated 2 days of getting up earlier and the reflection walk as not well . Yesterday I did a good long walk with my headphones in.
Went out for dinner last night with hubby then after our argument. We seldom argue but again it was me being assertive over something he does that I do not approve of and I called him on it . Actually it is one of the things in my book to do this week to be either more assertive or less assertive ( depending on your normal personality)
I have noticed I am eating very regular meals again and less. I’m not worrying about what I eat but then again I have always eaten healthy food for meals it’s the extra snacking of crap or qty that gets me .
Son home for weekend . He is happily gaining weight lol and really starting to fill out now and broaden .
Very breezy and dark here now so will see how Day shapes up for my walk. If it doesn’t I’ll do my Leslie workout . Prefer to get out though .
I notice everyone been busy in their diaries will go read now
