Seeking the Good Life

The Idle Bee


Downsizing

One Week Later

I have managed two kettlebell sessions both 60 minutes each and four walks of at least 30minutes.
This can be viewed in a positive or negative light.
Positive; I exceeded my total planned exercise by 30 minutes
Negative; I didn't actually train every day.

Positives outcomes encourage and reinforce good behaviour


Over the next three weeks I will continue aim for the same target exercise regimen.
This week I am going to focus on improving the healthiness of my diet. No specific calorie targets simply avoiding excess fats and highly processed foods. Actually my basic idea is to reverse the behaviour of the last 21 years, where I have tried to replace sleep with Caffeine and Crap Calories.
1. Cut down on Caffeine
2. Fatty Sugary Rubbish also has to go
3. This leaves whole foods, vegetables and lean protein

OK doesn't sound too difficult as I quite like cooking. I will share any interesting or tasty recipes with you as I go along

Let's Do it.

The decluttering and downsizing continues apace. Still working as a team, one thing at a time, simple decisions and end with a clear process.
I have a tendency to keep receipts for everything, just in case I have to make an insurance claim. This means that I have boxes and boxes of receipts including those for items already disposed of. This is a total mess that needs sorting. I have started a spreadsheet inventory of the house. Photos of each room to help establish contents and photos of each receipt can be attached to the spreadsheet. Time consuming to set up but definitely space and clutter saving in the long run.

The house is on the market and getting lots of views according to the data, but no viewings in person yet.
