Little changes are adding up to a big difference

Its the second day I have woken up and drunk a cup of hotwater with lemon instead of tea. One of the things I have taken away from my Accelerated Productivity course is the idea of being a bit more disciplined.  Not a lot, just a bit.  And how this can affect big changes.  I guess its like the idea that once your house is clean and tidy it is easy to keep it so.  And then from there, if there is no more procrastinating to be done in tidying up, then you move on to the to do lists that are really going to make a difference.  And discipline in terms of, well, lets just do that NOW shall we.  Don't be putting it off or to the back of the pile.  Just go ahead and do it. 

One of my long term goals has been to be 'the kind of person who eats clean food'  In its extreme form, this involves being vegan and only eating organic and alkaline foods sort of thing.  You know, a lot of raw flavoursome stuff with no nasties in it.  I ackknowledge that I am most likely not going to be that full on.  But given that I have been waking up sluggish, and to be honest the week of wonderful Frenchness (wine, bread, cheese, meat, pate.... and more wine) was gloriously enjoyable.  It did take its toll.  I cannot drink that much and keep healthy!  Good for holidays, but bad for body.  Lots of little niggly things, like coldsores, hmm nice, which only crop up when I am run down, appeared afterwards.  As did 2 kilos of extra blubber around the middle.....

So day two of hot water and lemon.  Famously a yoga way to start the day.  And also alkalising.  Which is the new health buzzword on the block.

Day 2 of a avocado, water and hemp protein smoothie for breakfast too. Mmm nice (not that nice actually - but filling and on diet)

And nothing 'bad' til after noon. 

And I am down almost a kilo.  Impressive huh.  Just one day.  And I feel good.  Maybe its not just the lemon thing.  Maybe it is also the proactive attitude.  The idea that I am actually doing something about it.

Oh and I can say I am being immensely tidier too.  Little things that have been hanging around forever are being picked up and sorted through.  Book are going back into the shelves as I see them  - just that small sort of thing.  Its not much, each little thing, but it is all adding up to a rather pleased withmyself me.  And yes, I do feel better.
