I think the thing is to keep on going. The Resolutions are really an ongoing list so I am just going bit by bit. I was working out the big reorganisation I need to do of bookcases and had the uncomfortable realisation that before I do this I need to do that and before I do that I need to sort this and to make room to sort it I need to move this and shift that and finish the thingy in the corner. I also cleared out part of a cupboard and got rid of a load of stuff that only I liked and that is full of gluten. I know it is going to the foodbank, but it is still incredibly depressing. I miss some stuff. I could live off ReadyBrek, but it is full of gluten and I am still recovering from the diet cola.
Currently the biggest challenge is still the five a day. I have managed to have some dried fruit for breakfast. I managed some orange juice and an apple. However the veggies for dinner was a challenge. I did carrots with dinner and looked up the amount that made up one portion. It is three heaped tablespoons per adult. I always thought I was generous with veggies but the carrots on our plates were about half that amount. It was eaten with tortilla, which bear utterly rejected, so there was a bit of veggie in there. It is turning out to be a challenge, especially if I want to stay away from sugar filled fruit. Mind you, I think a bigger challenge is staying away from sugar filled chocolate.
Still, I can look at yesterday and be fairly pleased. I sorted out the gas and electric bills, the phone bill and chased up the pumps that bear needed. I got washing done, I got bits of housework done, I set up a pile for next Tuesday to take to the foodbank, and I even planned tea and cooked what I planned which is a bit of a miracle in this house!
Now I am going to find a pretty picture from Wiki Commons to cheer up the blog and try and happen somewhere.
