Day Thirty-one - Goodbye horses

End of month one. Let's see if this merits making a sort of 'state of the union' thing. Out of all the things I unofficially decided I'd start doing - because, remember, the only resolution was no resolutions - I've managed to keep one going on a daily level, and by now I think it's blatantly obvious what that is - writing here every single day. There's a small caveat that's involved in that particular undertaking, but now is not the time to reveal what it is. And writing on a daily basis is something that I have not done in many a year; in fact I don't think that in any of my previous blogs I ever managed such a feat. Maybe some days I wrote more than just the one post, but In don't really think I did it in such a regular level.

And so far, I think I'm succeeding in what I set out to do; just today I realized that I've not yet mentioned something that was happening concurrently with my going to school, and that may yet yield some worthwhile posts in the near future. There's still a lot for me to sort through, and It's becoming increasingly clear that this iteration of the project has a very clear end in sight. AH well, it'll be up to me to come up with more things to write about. Hopefully, by then I'll be able to put in motion a long gestating project of mine. We'll see.

Now about the things that I haven't yet been able to get under a more precise control : 

a) I've not yet started exercising. Oh, I knew early on that It would be something hard for me to start doing straight away, so I decided to put a moratorium on it. Should I have pushed through and tried to make it? Well, possibly. But now I do feel that I am better suited to start exercising. And here's the thing, the only kind of exercise I like doing is running. Not jogging, but runining on the treadmill, mind you. And before I started to tear myself slowly apart, I used to go the gym everyday and run about 20 km or more. This made me feel real good, and I was in the best shape of my life. Now, I know that right now that's a very unrealistic goal for me - but way back in 2006 I decided that a 3 km run would be enough for me to get in shape, and though that me back then was nowhere near as annihilated as I am, I managed to get into that running groove with some ease. So 3 km is what I'm trying to do as of tomorrow. How often? Buggered if I know - but I'd love to do it a few times a week.

And for this to happen I need...

b) to improve my eating habits - which have changed, for sure, I've not been drinking sodas or any booze, and neither have I been eating crap. But that can be improved. And improved it shall be.

As for me trying to keep my room as clean as possible... well, that's still a work in progress. But it will get better.
