The plan . . .

So, my big change list:  Smoking, drinking soda, eating unhealthy, not getting enough sleep, and living unorganized. How am I going to change these things for 30 days? Luckily, I have a plan. I like plans. Give me rules, and I'll follow them. I'm a little addicted to planning. Actually, I'm addicted to a lot of things . . . see above list. To break some addictions, here's the plan:


1. Smoking. Uh, not gonna smoke. I'm going to use nicotine patches. And probably swear a lot.


2. Drinking soda. I love soda. Next to coffee, it is my beverage of choice. I drink a lot of it. Seriously, a whole lot. Granted, it's diet soda that I drink, but I need to kick this habit. It makes me crave sweets and is killing my teeth. So buh bye soda, hello water and crystal light!


3. Eating unhealthy. This is a little more complicated. I'm going to follow WW points and log them online every single day. Following WW points forces me to eat healthier since I have to stay within the allotted daily points. I like the WW program, I just usually have a day or two I ignore the program. Well, that won't happen this month! I'll also be weighing in every Tuesday. I'm not looking to lose a bunch of weight, just feel better.


4. Not getting enough sleep. I love to play on the computer, and sometimes I get so engrossed in youtube videos or some dumb game that before I know it, it's way late at night. It is really affecting my sleep and my sleeping patterns. So, for the next 30 days, I'm going to be in bed between 10-11pm every night. Also, the computer is moving back to the computer desk instead of on my lap. My computer chair sucks, so I figure that will help cut down on my computer time as well!


5. I've lived in this 3 bedroom house for over 10 years and I'm really starting to realize just how much CRAP I have! Closets & cupboards are full to bursting and are so flippin unorganized. Since I can't really afford a professional organizer, I'm going to hire myself. One thing, every day I'm home gets organized. A drawer, a closet, a cupboard - just one thing every day. The only exceptions are days I'm not here because of forensics.


Well. That's a do-able plan. My thirty days starts tomorrow, October 11th. Crazy will begin shortly thereafter. Shit.
