Habits

Habit 0: I blogged plenty here today (1 big post, this little one, and created a page each for my first two feedback systems – Habits & Body Stats)

Habit 1: Just like Day3, I’m still coughing and still working from my home office. So still haven’t managed to try out Habit 1 “Take a different walk through the train station”. Probably the same for tomorrow, so looks like Monday will be my big chance.

Habit 2: I ate plenty of fruit (Clementines and an Apple) today as part of Habit 2, so did well there.

Body Statistics

Well I started this today (this morning). Can’t find my fancy scales, so I’ve started with some basic body measurements with a measuring tape. These are actually the thing that’s most important to me. It makes a big difference to what clothes I can buy and how much trouble I have to go to, to buy them. Having said that I suspect it won’t be particularly motivational in the short term. When I’ve found my scales, then their weight, body fat, muscle mass stats etc. should show results much sooner than the measuring tape measurements.

I’ve set up a google docs spreadsheet and set it to publish through automatically to a page of my body statistics feedback on this site. This just shows my targets and my percentage progress toward them, so I get to maintain some modesty / privacy about my size. Clearly I haven’t made any progress toward my targets yet, as I’ve only taken 1 set of measurements!

Once we’ve got a few more data points I’ll look at doing a graph too. A little off topic here, but I have to just say how incredibly simple this all was to set up in google docs / WordPress. Every time I try something new with google docs it just impresses me more and more.
