It’s raining!!!! Finally, after all
that oppressive, oppressive heat and blazing sun, it’s suddenly cloudy and wet
and quite cool. Perfect time to bring
out all those samosas J. Oh wait, I’m supposed to be eating healthy – remember my goals?
Well, speaking of goals, let’s get to
my performance in May. Being my birthday and
anniversary month, I did celebrate a little, but on the whole I have been
eating more carefully. I can say that my tummy’s capacity has come down and I
feel fuller faster. I also don’t let myself get too hungry, lest I go all
cave-woman and pounce on the first sugary/carb-laden thing I can find. So let’s
see how I did, shall we?
1. As mentioned above, I have been more
aware about what I eat and have been
eating sweet stuff very sparingly.
2. I have been working out 4-5 days a
week. I have also gone up a level on my Total Body Workout CD.
3. I have been waking up automatically
before 5:30 a.m. Now, even if I want to sleep in, I simply can’t!! So, I’m
forced to get to bed before 10 if I want to wake up without a headache.
4. Cub and I have been spending a lot
of quality time. (See point 4 in the ‘Down’ section below.)
5. About being more caring and less
nagging – hmmm. I think I’ve cut down the nagging, but mainly because the Hubs
isn’t home much :-P. But seriously, I did take some extra trouble to run
errands for others and I have taken a more ‘understanding’ approach towards
Cub’s tantrums. Honestly, how do other Moms deal with school vacations? Or is
it just me?
1. While I have been more careful about
restricting unhealthy food, I haven’t been too diligent about including the
good stuff. Hence, my fruit and green tea intake were low last month.
2. I also have the when of my meals to take care of. Hubs has been working late and so
our dinner times have become delayed as well.
3. I don’t want to mention my deep
cleaning failures but since I’m appraising myself, it needs to be done. (Hangs
head in shame)
4. Don’t know if you’ve noticed, but
blogging has taken a back seat. That’s what happens when your boisterous kid is
home all day for the vacation and appoints you official ‘Boredom-Curer’. And if
one of his hands is in a cast, you also take on the jobs of
‘Railway-Track-Builder’, ‘Lego-model-builder’ and several other assorted
titles.
5. My prayers are not as regular as I’d
like them to be, though I’m trying to get them in line.
6. Job hunt still unfruitful. I can’t
help feeling there’s something I’m missing here. Like I’m waiting to suddenly
bump into someone or see something in the paper.
7. I’ve read just one book last month. Even
my magazines are piling up on my bedside table.
My time management skills are strictly
average, and I hope to have a better report regarding that next month.
So how has May been for you? We’re
reaching half time in 2013, so are you halfway through with your goals?

Once you start getting up early you can't stop! I am living proof of that. :)
ReplyDeleteI know!! Though it's annoying that I can't make use of extra sleep-in time, I'm glad the habit's stuck!
