Okay! So here's my plan for the next 21days or so:

1) Eat three meals a day. Stop forgetting about breakfast. And for god's sake, no eating soup kitchen food. Practical: go with mom and do food shopping. (note: I have already fucked this up. oops.) Daily vitamins: also good.

2) Six days a week: One hour of yoga / brisk walking. One day a week: Half an hour of jumping on the trampoline purposefully.

3) No drinking. Smoking once a week at most.

4) Keeping things CLEAN. I need to maintain my room as a wide-open and neat space to exercise in (and for my own sanity), so today I am cleaning that motherfucker top to tail, and it is going to stay clean.

5) Pampering myself in a non-food way. I really haven't been doing this much, so: every Saturday I'm going to give myself the closest thing to a mani-pedi I can do, take a nice long bath, candles and bubbles and the whole nine yards. If I lose ten pounds by the end of this, I'm going to go get a real, professional mani-pedi.

6) Mental health. The yoga isn't just going to be for exercise, it's also for balance. Re-reading yoga books = +. Taking medicines every day without fail = ++. No wallowing in emo. If I feel emo, I'm going to go for a walk.

7) Brain exercise. I've been really slipping mentally. I'm aiming to finish two books a week while this is going on. I'd like to get back into the habit of reading.

8) Vegging. This is going to be hard with TV starting back up in the next month, but if I'm going to spend more than 2 hours a day in front of the TV, I need to be spending that extra time doing something useful as well. Low-intensity stretches or something? Have to find something to do.

9) Helpfulness. No excuse not to: if I pass a full, clean dishwasher, I'll empty it. If I pass a full, dirty sink, I'll fill the dishwasher. I can do thirty minutes a day in the laundry room, and by keeping that clean it'll reduce my mom's stress a lot. I won't clean the guinea pig cage, though I will vacuum.

10) Peacefulness. I need to calm down, because I'm angry a lot. So: more counting to ten, more putting myself in someone else's shoes, less wanting to kill them.

I think this is a viable set of guidelines. :D Okay. Now back to cleaning.
