The Bucketeers (original) (raw)

I've started by making a plan for week one .

I've decided that I won't make a list of my problems or try to work out which is most important until I've built up a bit of momentum.

I intend to spend my first week taking small, easy and quick steps.

I've started by going back on vitamin pills as an insurance.

I'm walking to and from work instead of taking the car.

I have bought lunch , healthy nibbles and sugar free chewing gum for the office rather than pretending that I will skip lunch and buying a horrible white bread and mayonnaise heavy sandwich in the post office at 2.30pm.

More controversially, I have decided to be a bit more ruthless about one or two very disruptive people. None of them are on LJ or my friends list. I'm not going to cut them out completely but I am going to limit the amount of time that I spend with them . From now on, I'll spend time with the people I like most and not the ones with the biggest dramas. For now, I'm just going to avoid contact with the disruptive people until the end of September. Further steps will follow.

I've resolved to make a daily journal entry to keep track of my progress.

My first day went slightly astray as I managed to trip over on the way to work. Since this is Cambridge, I was helped to my feet and dusted down by a kindly passer by within seconds and my winter opaque tights and thick winter skirt saved my legs from being shredded . However, it was nearly 10am by the time that I finished hobbling into work and cleaning myself up .
