Rebooting Your Life
Discussion
Shows how we're all different.
I started atomic habits but couldn't get through it, just seemed like a basic idea strung out to fill a book.
There was also numerous spelling mistakes in my copy which started annoying me and made me wonder what happened during the proof-read.
Still have my copy so maybe I'll give it another go.

Great post - I've just started my "reboot" In regards to exercise i'm simple aiming to move more than I do now. Went out for a 45 min walk this morning, didnt want to but forced myself. Felt much better for it,
Diet - I'm planning to not cut out anything completly as that always causes me to fail. Just being mindful of how much im eating seems to be doing the trick at the minute!
Your job as a data analyst sounds super interesting and my dream job! Do you mind if I DM you?

Hi there, Diet - I'm planning to not cut out anything completly as that always causes me to fail. Just being mindful of how much im eating seems to be doing the trick at the minute!

Yes, by all means. It's not as glamorous/well paid/dream-like as you think but happy to help.
Afternoon all, a brief update.
So I'm starting my reboot on Wednesday as it's my birthday and a good milestone day for twelve months time when I aim to be seven stone lighter, in a job I love, looking good and shacked up with Myleene Klass in my three bed terrace just outside Bristol!
Okay, well one of those things is clearly not going to happen, after all I'm 56 on Wednesday so unlikely to find someone that will employ me!
Have been making a few notes as to the little things I want to do in my downtime and would like each day to be a day where I do one thing to help myself in the areas of health plus as many days a week as I can, to do something to improve my wealth and my house. Improving the house might just mean decluttering a cupboard, mowing the lawn, cutting the hedge back etc; all little things but they go a long way to improve my mental health which is equally cluttered up right now.
Have also decided to set another target of walking 1,000 miles in the next 12 months. I'd also like to try to do at least 5k steps a day which I almost managed last time I lost the weight. One day, I was so shattered, I went to bed having done 4.8k steps and it was absolutely gutting to miss out on a year's challenge by just one day. I did 3.5 million steps that year equating to almost 10k per day average. Some of the walks at the end of the challenge were 7/8/9 mile walks which bumps the average up.
Going to record the progress (or otherwise) in journals. I already have one that's my diary plus I have another for my house/home stuff and the third will be for this challenge to maybe jot down a few thoughts.
Still struggling with online recording if I'm honest. Don't really want to do too much on Instagram as tried it before and it wasn't really me. I'm more comfortable on Twitter but we'll see. Right now, it's more important that I kick off in a positive manner on Wednesday and see where it takes me. I have considered my social life and I've booked four gigs to go to solo in October along with two already in the diary for July. I'm off work on Friday for nine days so hopefully will start well.

Journaling is a good idea, I've been doing it for the past few years, it only take me 5 minutes at the end of the day, for me its stuff like stress level, what I have eaten, step count, exercise and bodyweight, then I leave a space for notes, so that could be anything from how I feel to work or relationships etc, very therapeutic and interesting when you have built up a decent log of info.

Thanks for the reply, mcelliott, much appreciated. Isort of did journalling before - I set up a little website where I could log in each day, record my steps progress, address my issues and put down a few thoughts. It's funny, I have just been looking back through it again now four years on and it seems quite helpful. Probably a little over-sharing on there at times, but it kept me moving forward.
