Daily Comment

I have the day off from work today, and it mostly went to waste. I did accomplish one thing, though.

Accomplishing one thing a day is my daily goal. It's not lofty, not difficult, and that is why it is a good goal for me.

Of course, what qualifies as a goal-worthy thing also makes it easy. Goal-worthy things are what I do that doesn't give me immediate pleasure (or set me back in any way).

So, all chores count.

Work doesn't count, though, because although everything I do at work is delayed gratification, (which comes in terms of a bi-weekly paycheck), that element of it means whatever things I do there are for the direct benefit of my employer.

Having a goal as easily accomplished as changing a toilet-paper role means I reach my goal nearly every day. This improves my self-esteem.

Just kidding. My self-esteem, what there is of it, has nothing to do with this.

Of course, setting the bar so low also means when I don't achieve it, I don't care, because I know I could have, and if it bothers me, it's never too late - there's always something I can do to make it right.

Usually, I don't care.

That's just the way I roll, here in Paradise.

Diet Comment

I didn't eat especially well over the weekend - not too far off-plan, but large quantities of cheese, in this case. I'm going to have to let cheese lie for a while. Seems to be a trigger food. Meanwhile, I'm back to last Thursday's weight, but a midnight snack of celery and home-made mayonnaise may set me back.
