icing transformation challenge

Th completely fabulous Gala Darling has challenged all her readers to a month long 'transformation challenge' starting today. The rules are simple: you choose something that you will commit to doing for a month, whether it is simply thinking about yourself in a more positive way or eating only raw food for a month.

I really want to participate, but I feel an overwhelming laziness monster in my head trying to talk me out of it.

Here are some things I want to do in my month of icing challenge:

  • Eat a salad every day, to increase my vege intake.
  • Dedicate an uninterrupted hour to write as often as I can. (I'd like to say every day but I'm just not sure it can be done.) I did really well in the Kiwinowrimo last year, and I'd like to try some more!
  • Exercise more. And by more I mean at all. It's so cold right now I can't even consider going for a run, but that really shouldn't put me off doing an exercise video. Swing dancing starts on Wednesday, so that will help!
  • Be nicer to Lee. This includes but is not limited to cleaning up more, doing the dishes without moaning about it and sewing buttons back onto his work shirts. (It's really easy to forget to do the buttons.)

So, there's a whole lot of good and valid things I should be doing and my whole mind is telling me that it's too much effort and I can't be bothered trying.

Obviously my first challenge for the month will be to get over myself and freaking do something.

On the up side, I tricked myself into starting on the first one by tidying up in the kitchen and sorting rubbish into bags as soon as I got home from work. That will be my dedicated time for cleaning up I think. Dishes after dinner without fail!

I am already being very good and doing patchwork that needs doing though. Last night we played more Rock Band and did so well that we won a jet and are now able to fly to Rome, Amsterdam, etc to do gigs there. Darth Fancy kicks ass, and I am very good at singing Creep, Maps, Don't Look Back in Anger and Celebrity Skin.

PoF: hoodie
CO: so very cold.
