I’m nothing if not astonishingly good at establishing habits

Yes, I went to the gym.

At 2 PM.

It was good.

I walked on the treadmill and resisted all impulses to start dreaming up a long-term cardio improvement plan. Did not touch the weights.

Gazed at the hanging leg lift chair. Already understand I’m going to have to take advantage of that.

Still, for a first attempt, I was remarkably restrained.

And I did not think of work the WHOLE time.

 

I’m supposed to be at the gym, right?

Why yes, yes I am. I booked 12-1 Monday through Friday, into eternity (or at least as far as Outlook will agree to book me).

Got corralled into a meeting from 11:30-12:30.

Okay, I will not be thwarted.

Moved some other stuff around, and voila: I’ll be at the gym from 2-3. Late in the day to take a break from the madness, yes. But essential for establishing my new habit.
