I started watching after my sleep,
like I watch after my steps while running.
Just like before,
I trained myself to run each week,
now I'm training myself to stay in bed.
How silly is that.
But what a difference it makes.
I feel fresh during the day.
I make better choises, too.
I stopped myself from
drinking too much water at night,
what a thoughtless mistake.
I would always wake up.
And couldn't fall back to sleep.
Now I watch closely when I drink.
The same way I watch after my kids,
who easily forget to drink, instead.
I find myself reminding my scatterbrained self to
drink a lot during the day.
I'm even counting when I'll need to
go to sleep to reach the eight hours,
I aim for.
I've never been very good with the clock,
so it's easy this way,
simply letting the alarm tell me.
It wasn't so simple,
letting go of coffee
and switching to mate tea.
I first jumped to black tea,
then learned the art of making
this foreign herbal tea
in my own little cup.
It has helped with my caffeine headaches.
In here I would get them,
during the early electricity cuts.
Even when skipping my one cup of coffee routine.
What happened to my weekly exercise?
I had lost my swing for many months.
But after moving here,
I made changes for better.
I aim for three to five times.
That's the best remedy for my lazy side.
To keep on moving, at least every other day.
Running is my truest love of all movement.
Indoors is always much more work.
This week it's my only choice though.
Just learning to like it, little by little.
Starting at six, before the sun rises high.
Lifting weights, and all that.
Well, good night for now, sweet diary.
Let's see where I'm at, when we catch up again.
