*sigh* I have no reasons or excuses today. I haven't managed to incorporate all of the changes together for a single day, nor have I managed to follow through with any of the individual changes for the entire week. Not even the ones that I was so sure about being able to do reliably. *sighs*

Things change never-the-less, maybe I'm going about this wrong. Maybe I should make a list of 100 Changes I want to make, say over a year or two? And then I could work on them one by one without feeling quite so ... rushed, I guess. Giving myself a week to make a certain change and then adding the next one doesn't seem to be working. I'll see that I can come up with.

Speaking of changes:

One thing that I have been trying to do for awhile is work with the kids at the Kindergarten as a volunteer and help out the English teacher. I was told today that the teacher really does not want help. PERIOD. However, the Kindergarten over in Leubsdorf is looking for someone to help out with English for an hour a week. I could totes do that! I'll be meeting up with the head of the Kindergarten on Monday to discuss what they are looking for and what I have to offer. Even at one hour a week THAT WOULD BE A HUGE CHANGE.

Doing really, really good about not eating after 6pm.

Logging my foods is getting spotty. I'm going to have to work on getting that one into a real habit. As I have for the first time in months spaced and forgotten to put on my FitBit (the first time since I got it) I'm skipping recording today and will begin again tomorrow.

As for my moving more/dance and cleaning hour, I am sick. My darling plague monkey brought me home a cold that has knocked me on my ass. I've spent most of the past 3 days asleep trying to shake it. I made a big can of soup, toasted some bread, and peeled 2 oranges for lunch for the three of us today and I've been on the couch trying to recoup my energy.

I was going to try to add in at least one more change this week but I'm going to hold off until I have these three down.

The first change I'm making is food related! Starting today I have begun weighing/measuring and recording everything I eat and drink on the FitBit website.

My eating has been out of control for awhile now. This is the first step to getting it back under control. I need to relearn what a single serving looks like and pay attention to what I'm eating.

I have been mainly using my FitBit to keep track of how I sleep, now I'm using it the way it was intended: to monitor how many calories I burn/how many calories in take in.

I'll post again later in the week to update on my progress!
