week 1

in the first week of 2010, i have:

-worked out in some form (treadclimber or workout video) on 4 days out of 7, not bad :)
-not eaten out yet
-booked a florist for the wedding (the final big vendor)
-resolved to waste less time at work, resulting in somewhat increased productivity...
-told my prof that i'd like to graduate in the next 6 months (to a somewhat mixed but still positive reaction)
-tried valiantly and failed to start waking up before 8am... i have managed to drag myself out of bed between 8 and 8:30am for the past few days, so i'm getting close. ;)
-started walking to school again!

it's all small stuff, but definitely a promising start to the new year!

you know what works for waking up earlier? set your alarm clock 5-10 min. earlier each few days to acclimate to waking up earlier. it works better in the long term.... mike taught me that trick and it's the only way i've been able to wake up as early as I do every day (you don't want to know what time. but sounds like 2010 is off to a great start!! :D

that's a really good tip alison, thanks! i'll have to start implementing that next week... how do you deal with snooze button issues? that's a killer for me...i am afraid to ask what time you wake up every day...! ;)

thanks lisa!! i am excited about the possibility of graduating! it's gonna take a lot of work though... :| just gotta dig in.

yeah snooze button issue, i don't know... i think it helps that if i don't get up i won't have enough time to be prepared for class and i really don't like being unprepared for class - a roomful of students looking at me like... ok... what's next... it's no fun. i make alot of grumbly whimpery whiny noises every morning :).

Small stuff is huge! Especially when consistent ~ congrats on your first week! I too am trying to wake up early - but to no avail. =)
