101 steps to a shorter to-do list
(List: http://ceb.dreamwidth.org/140283.html)
Recently completed:
#2 Organise Blue Christmas dinner and secret santa
#26 Get the chimney swept
#77 Eat packed lunches for a week
I'm very pleased about #77. This was a bit cheaty in that I cycled out to Waitrose[*] to get lunch on the Monday, and whilst I was there realised that I could go mad and buy lunch ingredients for the rest of the week. So Monday doesn't technically count, but hey, if it works I'm not going to knock it. It's no cheaper than buying sandwiches (though it might be if I don't succumb to smoked salmon), but it is a lot healthier, tastier and more varied. Work sandwiches are irritating in that you have a choice between healthy and calorific. If you want vegetables, you must be on a diet (I cycle 10 miles a day; 250 calories is not going to cut it). If you want calories, you must want salty meat and a gallon of mayonnaise. How do you fit 40g of fat into a sandwich anyway?
Good progress on:
#4 Buy Christmas presents
#76 Keep a food diary for 2 weeks
#78 Eat packed lunches 10 other days
#79 Go lunchtime cycling 10 times
#80 Go to the gym 10 times
This fortnight is healthy fortnight! Except for yesterday, which had a big dinner (albeit mitigated by lots of dancing).
[*] Yes I know, but the only places in cycling distance are Waitrose and the small M&S at the station.
