Here’s what I’m committing to this week:
BABY STEP
#1
*P* is for PROTEIN
For the past 2 days, I’ve been feeling more tired than usual; my bet is I’m not eating a balanced diet.
So I’m going to start jotting down / counting my food intake to make sure it’s all good, especially the protein intake as I’m vegetarian.
I checked on the internet and saw that I should be eating 1.5 grams of protein per kilo. I weigh 52 kilos (115 pounds), so my daily dose comes to 78 grams. Divided between 6 small meals, this means I need to eat 13 grams of protein every 3 hours.
Maybe I should go back to logging my daily food intake on DailyBurn. Not sure if I have enough time, though; for the moment, I’ll keep track offline and see if that’s enough commitment for success.
And yeah… I stopped my weight-lifting routine. That’s another thing I have to go back to — sheesh!
BABY STEP
#2
Come up with a concept/design for my “about me” page.
How about *YOU* — anything new?

I’m proud to say
that I’m well on my way
to making it a habit to
every day.
Olé!
Yes, my one and only BABY STEP this past week was to stretch for 20 minutes every day as soon as I got home from my morning walk.
Result:
I love it!
Of course, I was lucky to have the sun shining in my kitchen all week long; with a little imagination, I felt I was by the ocean, lying on a beach towel. What can I say, I’ve got a talent for make-believe — it’s one of the main ingredients in my recipe for happiness.
Music is also a big part of the mix. I now know exactly how many James Taylor songs it takes to accompany my 20-minute routine — I put his greatest hits on “play” and I stretch and relax and feel the pain from Something in The Way She Moves to the end of You’ve Got a Friend.
Conclusion:
I won’t say I’m hooked just yet. No. I’m going to wait another week or two. I want to see if I’ll be as enthused about the whole thing when there’s no sun around to give me a high.
Surprise:
On Saturday morning, I went skating for the first time in 24 years. It took me less than 5 minutes to realize that I could still stand on two blades and glide, Baby, glide. Another habit, maybe? — We’ll see!
Hey… how was your week?
