Quick Follow Up

The first week of the 100 days is complete and the results are in. It has been a mixed bag but I am probably farther ahead than had I not set them.

Good:

• I have kept with my sub rules of working on at least two things a day
• Sweets - have stopped. The first real craving was today. I would actually like to go a whole year with that - but let's see how the next 93 days go.
• Lots of positive movement and a clean and revamped closet make the positive side. Job seeking continues as does some very good trading.
• I am also finally serious about learning French on this go-round and then Russian. I have been working on the French daily and have found a French learner's meet-up group locally.

Bad:

• The walking every day has been a challenge - so much so that I haven't done it. I blamed the first few days on excessive heat but that is no longer a problem so time for the rubber to meet the road on that one - literally.
• I seem unable to cease communication with Tom. Mind you it is entirely one way and I think when I can do that (hopefully within this next 93 days) it will be huge. I think there is something very wrong with me for doing this but I cannot stop myself. As if after 2 years I can somehow fix this. Not bloody likely.

I think for the second 100 day challenge I need to put in "Have Fun" because I don't have any good ideas on that. My accomplishments seem embarrassingly small - the type of thing one would do at 17 years old, not at 55! I already have some more adult level challenges for the second 100 days. One step at a time.

Now I will shut up about it until at least 50 days in. Besides, the garden is ripe for new pictures - watch this space... (I really do have to figure out that "have fun" stuff)
