la belle et le bad boy

I woke up at 6am this morning determined to kick myself into action, both academically and in terms of personal health and well-being. Usually these things never work, but this time I have support from my wonderful housemates.

I went to the gym at 7AM (4.5km/400kcal) and was in the library by 9 where I’ve managed to write 500 words of my research assignment, so the flow of productivity is going well.

I made pledges to myself such as “do more work, be more active, hit the gym every day” etc. but I’m also setting myself weekly goals.

Saturday seems like a weird day to start all this, I know, but it’s as good a day as any. So this week, starting Saturday 12th May, I will:

• Meet my ‘5 a day’ every day, making one of the 5 a portion of fresh fruit/veg/salad.
• Eat 3-4 small meals a day without snacking or skipping.
• Attend the gym every day, and complete 30-minutes of recreational activity (yoga, swimming, a gym class, walking to town etc.)
• NO TAKE-OUT FOOD; eat stuff you’ve got!
• Stop cheating on the gluten thing.
• Finish my research assignment & at least 1000 words on both my Modern Fiction and James Joyce essays by the end of the week. 
• Complete at least 1000 words a week on SOMETHING..
• Stick to a strict £40-per-week allowance.

I’ll be chopping and changing the italicised bullet points, as well as adding more stuff when I think of it. Hopefully I’ll be a healthier and more productive human being by the end of six weeks.
