Okay. It is clear to me that in order to get certain things done–like Pilates and, it appears, writing–I must make some changes to my daily routine. The obvious best solution here is “no internet until Ted gets home from work”, but since I would like to maintain a degree of reality in this plan, it’s probably more likely to be:
– no internet prior to doing pilates or yoga
– make more of an effort to take that morning walk. 3 or 4 miles a day does wonders toward the weight loss thing. possibly this should also be done pre-internet, but that starts getting unlikely
– use either 1. willpower or 2. one of those site blockers to stay off Twitter, FB, LJ, gmail, during writing time (#2 is more likely to succeed, innit)
A friend of mine is starting Weight Watchers this week, and in solidarity I’m going to, if not quite count points yet, at least start keeping a food log. So probably there’ll be a cut-tag Boring Food Post daily. Perhaps that’ll encourage me to eat more froots and remember to drink water, particularly. At least I’ve already gone off sugar again. Anyway, so BFPs commencing tomorrow, and perhaps something like this will also help create a routine.
Off to a free concert in the park now!
I had to resort to a laptop with no net connection in order to get writing done. Leaving the desktop connected, but in another corner of the office while I sat with the laptop and ‘unplugged’ from the net seemed to work well. If I /had/ to look something up online, I could go look it up, but the call of the writing was ‘over there’ so I would look it up and then go back. If I worried that I’d start ‘breadcrumb following’, I simply wrote the ‘look this up’ in brackets in red in the doc and kept going.
Tough to set up a routine with a baby, but it is really great that you can be home with Himself and work.
Good luck with the new schedule! If it works, can you implement it in my brain, too?
But zomg. I hate froots. Blech!
