Daily check-in thread for July 3, 2008

Up @ 6:30, check 3/3
Morning bike ride, check 2/3
Shave, check 2/3
Brush and mouthwash, check 3/3

Managed to get to bed by 10:30 last night, maybe a little earlier. Need to add not to snack after 8pm, as I polished off half a box of cheerios in search of a bedtime munchy snack. Good sign I should have gone to bed even earlier. Woke up with pain in my liver, and didn't sleep well. So new goals, one to support the other:

to bed by 10pm
no eating after 8pm[/list]

Only one can of pop (3/3)

Journal (3/3)

Goal: spend some time doing stuff around the house every day (uncluttering, organizing, etc)

2/2 :)

My challenge :
I will do something everyday in the procees of selecting the best on line masters program for me.

What I did today:

Continued to fill out application for one of the top 2 schools I want to attend
Sent out transcript requests to my alama mater for my top 2
Began drafting answers to some of the application questions
Called alumnae to get their take. Unfortunately, I didin'y catch anyone today, But I left messages and the "interviews " will fall into place, eventually.

3 for 3

3/3
wrote down my food and did not eat past 8pm

Only drank one can of caffeinated soda, however I did also have some ginger ale (decaffeinated). I'm giving myself a half point! 2.5/3 :-D

Didn't floss again last night but used mouthwash instead. I keep falling asleep unexpectedly at my girlfriend's house. No half points this time. 0/3

Terrible day, got up really late, wasn't really productive at work.
2/3

Went downtown to watch the festival, and walked a lot (2+ hours), including stairs... I decided that would count as workout... for this time.
3/3

Got home way too late and too tired to read before going to bed.
0/3

Meditate Daily:

It's hard to keep habits when "the daily routine" has been changed...
I took a half-day and then traveled by car about 3 hours to go visit
my family. It's take some discipline, but still did some meditation
in the morning and evening for about 10 mins.

I ate a cookie today. Darn it.

Dieting is a hard goal but I gotta keep at it.

- Get up before or at 8am - Done
- Do a thirst-provoking activity - Done, hiking, bowling, yay!
- Quench that thirst - Done, lmaonade.

Woke up early - 3/3
Study - 3/3
Work - 3/3
