Day 1

Not too bad today, though not perfect. The rundown:



  • Create and follow a detailed schedule.
    • Done! View @ the top of the blog. Followed pretty closely today, except my planned "outdoor time."
  • Create and follow a budget, including at least $25 monthly savings and $20 charitable donation.
    • Not yet, will try to put this together tomorrow or Tuesday at the latest.
  • Go to sleep every night @ 11 PM (12 AM on Wednesdays.) 
    • Went to bed a little before this even last night, no plans not to make it tonight.
  • Awake every morning @ 6:30 AM. 
    • Got up @ 6:20 with first alarm today!
  • No more than one soda per day.
    • Ok, I got a Code Red mountin dew w/ my lunch then had a reggie mountain dew when I got home....last one in my fridge though so tomorrow should go better.
  • No more than three coffees.
    • One with breakfast, one late this afternoon = 2.
  • Exercise 45mins Mon, Tues, Thurs, Fri
    • It's nice to start on an off day. ;)
  • 30 mins meditation every morning.
    • Yep! Well actually I only made it 26 minutes, but that's pretty good considering the time since I last tried.
  • No more red meat.
    • Breakfast: egg/ham/chz croissant. Lunch: 4" hummus on wheat w/ veggies. Dinner: Pork chops n beans w/ wheat bread.
  • No more than 6 cigarettes per day.
    • Ok not so great, I had 8 cigs today and will prolly have one more before I turn in. Lots of free time on weekend though, weekday should be easier...?
  • Practice guitar an hour/day. 
    • Hell yeah, my left wrist hurts and my fingers are sore. I'm learning G, E minor, and C. Thanks to Corban for sagacious wisdom. XD
  • Add to this blog every evening. (Except Wednesday) 
    • Well, you're reading it, right?

Ok so not terrible. Muffed the soda and cigarettes, I kind of knew they'd be among the hardest. Also, I put a slot for outdoor activities on my schedule for Sundays, but I was housesitting in Sedona and didn't have a parking pass, so no hike. This may be a convenient excuse, not sure. Otherwise I followed my schedule quite well.
Pleased so far, it was nice to meditate and I am pretty sure I noticed an effect on my attitude throughout the day. I only road raged once!
All in all I am happy with day 1.
