so i am going to write down my intention and share it with you all!  i was inspired by today's assignment to write down my thoughts and feelings for 10 minutes a day. 

i have been working on changing my sleep pattern, working toward a reasonable bedtime in hopes of being able to get up earlier, feeling good and ready to face a new day.  i have been going to bed by midnight for almost 2 weeks and am almost ready to make the change to 11.30 p.m.  i thought i would start getting up earlier by now, but i am still sleeping late.  i figure i must have lost a lot of sleep staying up late, so i have to make it up.  if i don't soon start getting up earlier, i will have to work on that, too.

i have also been working on my eating plan and have been successful in finding a plan that seems to be good for me.   now i need to work on eating on a more consistent schedule.  when i first get up, i don't feel like eating right away, so when i get up late, i often don't start eating until noon.  then i feel like i need to eat a lot, at least breakfast and lunch, so that i am not eating all night!

i tried to start exercising in October and was doing well for a while, but now i have stopped again.  i got exercise DVDs and videos for Christmas--tai chi and walking, but have tried only one.  i hope that when i start getting up earlier, i will have more time to exercise, too.

there, i have spent 10 minutes writing today.  i will save this to my word processor and work alone from now on.

thank you for the motivation to write.  i believe that it will help me figure out what changes need to be made next and allow me to see the progress that i am making.

 and to really make it official, i am going to make a ticker for my siggie!  lol
