Good daily patterns are developing and I feel like I am starting to get into a healthy groove.  A few weeks ago healthy habits were a real battle, so this is pretty good progress.

I only have 4 items I am working on right now (water, fruits & veg, daily walks, and  food journal), and all of them are running smoothly.  I am starting to get confident that I can keep them up on vacation (starting Sunday!).

Last week the walking was still a big challenge, and I skipped a few days.  This week has been easier (in part because I busted out the iPod) and today topped it all.  I needed to go to a French Bureaucracy office (way way worse than American Bureaucracy in my experience).  The office is about a 15 minute walk from my house, so I figured it was perfect for the daily walk (which is supposed to be around 30 minutes, although I’ve been pushing it a bit).  I walk over there and I’m told that the service I need to see are not available until 2pm.  It is, of course, 10am.  I was super-annoyed, especially since all the paperwork & website info says 8:30-5, but what can I do?  I want this handled before vacation.  So I go home, do some other stuff, and head back for my SECOND walk of the day at 3pm. Errand accomplished, and a second walk snuck in!

Plus, on the way home (the second time), I picked up some nectarines & a melon to make sure I’m eating enough fruit today & tomorrow (no excuses about an empty fridge because of vacation).
