Minimalist May - Day 14

Today went better than expected after yesterday’s minor struggles. I appreciate the daily prompts from my Apple Watch to move more and complete my rings. It’s these little nudges that remind me of the goals I have set.

Diet

I treated myself to some brown toast with low-fat spread this morning. My body needed a change from the repetitive porridge pot I have been having. At lunchtime, I tucked into a gorgeous chicken tikka curry at work. As I already had meat for my midday meal, I opted for a Quorn chilli with rice in the evening. I’ve noticed I have been choosing more veggie options each day because I want to reduce the amount of meat I eat.

Finance

£25 of fuel was spent in the morning. When I checked my bank balance, it was noticeable to see I am doing better financially, month on month. Another win in the bag. 

Caffeine

Unlike yesterday, I had no urges or headaches, so I am grateful for not feeling rubbish. Decaf is definitely the future after speaking to a colleague who quit caffeine years ago. It gives me hope. 

Exercise

My foot felt much better after I hurt it yesterday. I went for a small walk, played basketball and hit the weights. I will make sure I use my cross trainer tomorrow because I would rather not get out of the habit of using it. 

Sleep

I’ve noticed I feel so much better in the morning if I get at least seven and a half hours of sleep. I pushed myself to get to bed on time. Currently, work is taking up a lot of my time and mind space. I am grateful for being able to switch off when it is time for bed.
