Eirlys: Small Steps


Eirlys

Recommended Posts

November is going to be a stressy month for me, so I need to keep my challenge on the light side.

 

1) Figure out evening routine with son

 

objectives:

  • minimise TV-on time
  • work out a wind-down routine (hard with this lively little one!)
  • maximise evening play time together
  • improve bedtime going-to-sleep (him, not me!)

 

2) Low-spend November

 

After the relative success of no-spend September, I want to go on a money diet again in November.  For many reasons!

I'll figure out the 'rules' for this time soon, but one thing I want to do is:

  • decrease lunchtime spend

 

which ties in with...

 

3) Improve eating habits

 

  • stop buying (and therefore eating) such big lunches!!!
  • cut the snacking at work

 

4) Go to gym again (it's free FFS!)

 

  • speak with reception about getting a gym locker
  • work out how to operate gym locker

 

Even going to gym once will count as a win here.  I would prefer more, however!

 

5) Reduce time wasting activities

 

I am resigned to watching a whole raft of reality tv programmes this Michaelmas.  But one thing I wanna do is:

  • notice when I am pointlessly surfing websites on my mobile phone and snap out of it!
  • reduce the number of news websites I visit
  • Like 3

Hi

 

After a difficult month I think I will cancel my challenge in favour of "getting through the divorce process", part of which is concluding this month.

Have not had time to do anything!

 

See y'all next challenge :)

Hey, I've just joined NF so I hope you don't mind me commenting.

 

Your goals sound really good, I like the money challenge - it's amazing how much we spend on non-essentials.

 

I know a good bedtime yoga routine you can do with little ones if it's something you'd be interested in? I do it with my friends kid all the time, who has behavioural issues, and he loves it.

 

Good luck :)
