With the new job starting a week from yesterday, I'm making some small changes this week to how I manage some of my time.
I'm still up at 5:30 in the morning - that's a given. I'm used to it and having the 2+ hours to wake up, have breakfast, walk the dog and get ready before leaving for work is just something that I need now. When I first incorporated this plan into my routine (MANY years ago) people thought I was nuts. I suspect there are many people out there who still do... but this is just something that works for me and helps me start my day right.
The changes I am making this week are not to the amount of time I spend on things, but rather the order in which I am doing them. Today is day 1 of the new schedule and here's the thing. It isn't a big change - all I did was put the dog walk at the beginning of the schedule. It wasn't frozen or raining (now becoming the norm for here in winter) and so we did a pretty good pace and I was home and having my shake before 6:30. This timing change will actually allow me to start incorporating longer walks a couple of mornings a week once we start getting into spring light and temperatures - even with having to add a 40+ minute drive to my mornings.
I'm constantly surprised at how small changes can make such big differences. Maybe that is part of what this is about - learning how to make small changes that make big differences over time.
And hey - my double chin is actually almost gone! My boobs are shrinking too - that's no cool - but the freedom from my double chin is most definitely a cool thing!
