Fixes Identified This Week 1/25-1/31

• Want to focus on the habit of getting up at the same time. I'm pondering how the below chart would work for this situation. I know from reading Charles Duhigg's book and listening to interviews that exercise and it's endorphins are not the reward my mind is seeking. I need to entice a reward different way.



• My cue is the alarm, the routine would be getting up, lacing up my sneakers and heading out, but what is enticing enough to get myself out of bed in the mornings?
• Research sleep labs that handle sleep apnea in the area and schedule an appointment.
• Asked my boss if I could only do 8 hours instead of the 8.5-8.75 I normally put in. It's made a big difference.
• Part of daily nighttime planning, pull meat out of freezer for next day.
• Go back to 1 or 2 squares of super dark chocolate as a treat
• Figure out allotment for Downton Abbey. 1 episode Saturday mornings?
• Go back to dark chocolate as my "sweet" allotment...I'd rather be able to indulge randomly while we are out somewhere (in moderation) instead of gorging myself on sweets at home.
• Maybe ban eating on the couch?

Not too much to report here. Got a new hair cut recently and am adjusting to it. It's got a side that's a bit too layered and likes to stick out. *sigh*

Now to focus on growing out my hair.
