Wake me up when September ends.
This is not something I want to be saying this month. Though I started the 30 day challenge last month - it wasn't a hit. I did run a lot more than I would have. I did work out a little more regularly, but it is not IN me, as yet #ifyouknowwhatImean.
I know better now how to handle this and plan for this and I'm not going to get disappointed over my failures in August.
1. Moving to hankies - worked great for me. I haven't had a cold since ;) But seriously, I moved to a lot of non-paper things - grocery bags are only cloth now. I walk back without grocery if I don't have a cloth bag on me. I've figured out an optimum time and cycle to use the washing machine. No switch in the house is on all the time, including those for plug points. I'm thrilled, yes.
2. Running and Gymming - This worked partly and didn't work partly. I fell sick in between, I went to my mum's house without preparation and didn't find shoes to run. As an aside, I also moved out 8 years ago and it shows in the fact that no clothes of mine that fit me are in my mum's house. Sigh.
3. Sweep and mop the house - SUCCESS. I did this religiously. There is something therapeutic about domestic chores. Also, the credit for this goes to my inlaws who were visiting :P
4. Learning to say no - On this, I guess I could always do better :) But I'm getting there. This was a success though I sometimes forgot to confirm yes or no! Or, go 'available' or 'busy' on GTalk.
I loved the idea of this 30 day challenge and now I'm doing it again for Sept with the following points of focus.
1. Read Infinite Jest everyday, however slow I read. Again, I'm doing this with Supreeth
2. Running and Gymming since it's not IN me as yet ;)
3. Pedicure at home everyday
4. Eat breakfast everyday, come what may
5. Update food blog every week, at least once
This looks like a long laundry list and mostly like a 'Things to do' list. But these are some things I am struggling with.
This starts from Sep 3 since I'm still on my August challenge. Also, hopefully, I will be more active on Twitter with #my30days update this time around.
What are your challenges?

Gayatri: Do it, do it. This will help move your behind :)
@Siri: Sure, babe!
@SK: How is baby BSK? Being 'IN' means I still crib about it and think of ways to avoid it, want to get rid of that. :)
Pedicure everyday. Sounds so awesome!
