Day 3

Things went pretty well today:

• Create and follow a detailed schedule.
• No study sessions, otherwise everything was in there.
• Create and follow a budget, including at least $25 monthly savings and $20 charitable donation.
• I downloaded some checkbook software for my droid and set up my mint.com account (also w/ droid app.) Now let's see how well I can stick to it XD
• Go to sleep every night @ 11 PM (12 AM on Wednesdays.) 
• Melatonin kicked in fast last night, asleep by 10:30
• Awake every morning @ 6:30 AM. 
• Snoozed the 6:20 alarm and got up right @ 6:30.
• No more than one soda per day.
• Had a cherry pepsi. Mmmmmm
• No more than three coffees.
• 2 regular drip coffees for breakfast
• Exercise 45mins Mon, Tues, Thurs, Fri
• Ok, I made it! I took my phone this time and watched =3 on youtube, made it much more bearable. I even stayed on the bike the full 45 minutes. I am using Runkeeper, but haven't set it up to share my logs yet. Soon!
• 30 mins meditation every morning.
• Yes, was interesting, at one point all of a sudden I got this shooting, exaggerated pain in my left index finger (sore from geetar). In true meditative style, I worked it away with focus. 
• No more red meat.
• Skipped breakfast (except coffee), Lunch: Leftover porkchop n beans. Ugh, no more pork.  Dinner: 12" turkey on wheat con vegetales. Came with two bananas, prolly eat the second one before bed. Pepsi came into the picture w/ the sandwich
• No more than 6 cigarettes per day.
• Did well, had 4 so far and no way I'll have more than 2 more before bed.
• Practice guitar an hour/day. 
• Broke this rule today, I have last-minute stuff to get ready for tomorrow :/ D&D is going to break a lot of rules methinks....Will be back to it Thursday.
• Add to this blog every evening. (Except Wednesday) 
• Ka-kow!

Feeling a change already I think, from reduced smoking and less sugar from the soda. Meditation is having a positive effect as well. The regular sleep I'm sure isn't hurting. ;)
