19 for 2019: week 19 update

Week of 4 May I don’t have a lot to update this week. I went to work, had a training course and went to a wedding (yay!). I had a nice day walking around Launceston on Friday (more than 33,000 steps for the record) before I was struck down...

19 for 2019: week 18 update

Week of 29 April I went back to work this week. That always seems to take up an awful lot of my time for some reason! I made some progress with 19 for 2019. I did some work on the photo course (thing 1); I watched two videos and...

19 for 2019: week 15 and 16 update

Week of 8 April Most of what I did this week was around my photography. On Sunday, I spent several hours in town taking photos, some of which aligned (I hope) with some of the assignments for the course I’m doing (thing 1). I need to sort them and...

19 for 2019: week 13 update

Week of 25 March On Sunday I completed the month without alcohol challenge (thing 13). I went for a whole month without a drink. Yay me! I’ve written a lot about doing this over the month and I’m not going to go over it all again other than to...

Water, water and more water

On Tuesday I wrote about how I was going to attempt Chris Bailey’s water experiment that he wrote about in The Productivity Project. Chris gave up coffee, alcohol and soft drink for a month and drank only water. A lot of water. He says he drank four litres of...

Water, water everywhere

This is the last week of my 30 days no-alcohol challenge. Yes, I have almost survived a month of no cider Sunday, no beer and pizza on Friday, no wine with cooking dinner on Saturday . . . and it hasn’t been hard at all. Yay! I feel great...

19 for 2019: week 12 update

Week of 18 March 2019 I’m really happy looking at my 19 for 2019 list stuck on my wall near my desk. I have six of the 19 things I wanted to do this year ticked off and it’s only March. I finished my reading goal of 12 books...

30 days alcohol free: day 10

I wrote this post on Sunday, day 10 of the 30-day no alcohol challenge, and felt like it hadn’t been difficult at all. I’d been feeling really good about it. I guess that’s a good thing. I’d hate to be finding out that I’m addicted to alcohol and was...

more coffee, please

I am a coffee lover. I think it’s fair to say that coffee was one of the things that got me through my first attempt at quitting sugar in 2013. Back then, I had coffee with milk and it wouldn’t have been unusual for me to have five or...

19 for 2019: week 9 update

Week of 25 February 2019 After my two mid-week posts, it’s time for my regular weekly update on 19 for 2019. You most likely would have seen my posts last week about starting my 30 days alcohol-free (thing 13) and how I’m using that to try to get to...
