Need a new start AGAIN

This is getting downright depressing. I sound like an addict.

So far today:

Exercise: about 15 min. this morning
Food: Had a smoothie and vitamin for breakfast, but didn't pack a lunch so things went downhill.
Sleep: I was doing better for a while, but the past 2 nights I've reverted to my bad habits and started staying up late for no good reason (internet or TV).
Work: I did hire a part-time assistant, which has been helpful for organization and dealing with the backlog of admin tasks and phone calls, and more of my files are getting up to date. However, there is still a major file to tackle, and I need to get on top of the billing/accounting again (after doing a blitz last month). I also feel like an idiot because I went to the wrong address for a meeting this morning.

Need to get back on track.....

Everyone got sick, and any discipline I had went down the toilet. It's hard to do work, cook or exercise when your sinuses are exploding.

That said, it's depressing how far off track I've gotten.

So...my new plan to kick some tuchus:

1. Once more, kick myself off the worst time-sucking websites by closing my accounts or forcibly blocking access.

2. Start each day with a major sort/file and message check at work, and doing a daily task list.

3. Actually do some real exercise daily.

4. Don't leave home without a packed lunch.

There are a few things that I do manage reasonably well - usually, this is because they have become part of a structured habit. The secret seems to be that I need to get myself into some new routines until they become automatic habits.

Day 5:

Food: Shredded Wheat cereal, potato salad, cole slaw, challah, beef and barley stew, 2 pieces chicken thigh, 1 piece fish fillet, some fruit, green beans, spinach

Exercise: around 45 minutes of Wii Fit and elliptical

Sleep: Fell asleep with kid, got up in middle of night to go to my own room, woken up by coughing (croup) from son

Work: Got my work from the office

Day 4:

Food: smoothie, fake crab and veggie stirfry, 1/2 serving pasta, chicken soup with carrots, challah, homemade hummus and guacamole, sauteed green beans, pesto baked spinach, 1 piece chicken thigh

Exercise: 20 min Wii Fit

Sleep: Adequate

Work: Not much done as I was home with kids

Family: Stayed home with 3 sick kids

Starting to lose a bit of weight....

I know it's still really early, but Wii Fit says that I'm down to 143 lbs and my BMI is now under 26.

I'll do measurements in another week or so.

Day 3:

Food: Fruit smoothie (just frozen fruit and juice), tea, omega-3 pasta with olive oil/garlic/basil/parmesan cheese, bite of salmon cake and articoke dip, baked salmon fillet, cucumber with guacamole

Exercise: Fell asleep again!

Sleep: Fell asleep @ 10 p.m. with kid #1, went back to my bed @ midnight, woke up with weird stomach @ 3 a.m. and stayed up for an hour, alarm off at 6 a.m. but stayed in bed until 7:30 a.m.

Work: Opened 2 new files, billed closer to goal

Family: Kids getting a bit sick, otherwise good. Still need to push up bedtime.

Goals: EXERCISE!! Also - not falling asleep with the kids, by getting them to bed earlier, then doing my stuff including exercise so that I stay asleep once I go to sleep.

Day 2:

Food: tea, chocolate milk, whole grain hummus wrap with bean sprouts and red pepper, hi-fibre trail mix, 1/2 serving omega-3 spaghetti, turkey meatballs in tomato sauce

Exercise: fell asleep instead

Sleep: good, except for waking up for an hour at 1:00 a.m.

Work: around 50% of billable goal (got distracted by computer issues), got some long-standing tasks out of the way

Family: #3 continues to improve in behaviour, esp. with the morning routine. Slowly bringing bedtimes forward.

Next goals: need to finally exercise, get a few more fruits and veggies, don't fall asleep with kids.
