How did I do?

Find something to be thankful for everyday

Pass. I did, although I seemed to have missed day 21 not sure how or why but I did it.

Run 3 times a week

Sort of pass.  I started well, my knees then got the best of me and I can’t even run for bootcamp and the noise they are making. However, until this week, I was going for a walk of at least 4k three times a week so I feel it’s a sort of pass. Running will have to wait until after physio and I’ve learnt to tape my knees

Improve my diet (eat mindfully, cut down on carbs, sugar and processed food)

Pass. Brief detour at Oli’s party but I’m doing much better, it’s not made a huge difference to my shape, but it has made a big difference to my mood. Even in the midst of November with a broken wake up lamp, I’m on a much more even keel emotionally.

Cut out the coffee (one cup of coffee, once a week)

Pass. I’ve had coffee twice this month and none in the last 3 weeks. Just stopped. It’s been harder to resist this week, with the having to get up in the morning for work but I have resisted.

Put the bottle of wine down (no booze for 27 days in November)

Fail. I’ve drunk much less but at least once a week. When I have drunk, it’s been less than I would have normally (except last Saturday). So although I didn’t put the bottle down, I didn’t drink it all or open the second bottle. Must try harder..

Stop mindless spending (£20 a week on food and socialising)

Pass-ish. Passed until this week when working threw me out of whack

Sew for 50 hours

Pass. Sewed for about 65 hours but nothing this week due to being at work and really tired when I got home.

I do feel better for the changes in eating and bootcamp and making sure that I get more exercise is doing me good both physically and emotionally so I’m happy.
