Well...
So much for self improvement. I did sort of give myself a 2 week head start to do bugger all on the matter, but I find myself, two weeks later, really wishing I'd gone further by now. Certainly I don't have a lot of time to sort myself out if I'm really going to stop my endless self destruction.
There are three bright notes - firstly, I think I can virtually say I've given up caffeine. Last weekend I wasn't out, and in that whole week I had 2 cans of diet coke and a pint of diet pepsi. Since then, nothing! Water last night for a sober one, and vodka and orange has been diiscovered as my new booze of choice. Wan fucking pound indeed. I've given myself a mental aversion to it, so hopefully I can stay off it. I'm definitely noticing a change in my energy levels, this is all very optimistic! It is also demonstrative of self discipline that I can do this. Yes, I wasn't anywhere near as addicted as I was before, but still. Getting around it on nights out was what I had to do though. I was hungover on Friday but there was no caffeine component. Here's hoping it continues.
Escapism is also on the way down, although I want time to judge that one. Again, I'm more comfortable than I was though.
And I have also actually attempted a meal myself. This is a far cry from a fully fledged diet change, but its a start - I can now make pasta and sauce successfully!
Sleeping patterns have to be my next big target, as well as general laziness. If I don't sort those sharpise, I really am doomed. He says, at 2.30am with an early start in the morning. Away to bed now, and hopefully a lot of uni progress too.
Oh, and our washing machine is now repaired, even though the boiler is not.
