I've had a quiet day today. I hadn't planned to do anything so it wasn't a surprise. So that I didn't sit down all day on the computer and just play, I decided to set my timer so that every 20 minutes it would go off and I would then get up and do something active for a few minutes. �It's a great way of getting the mundane chores done when feeling lazy. I sorted out some of the junk I had stored in the cupboard on the landing. �There is less than I thought there was. I'll finish it off another time. I think I'm finally coming to the end of all the sorting out and throwing away. �I've still got the cupboard on the wall in my bedroom to sort out, and I must also make a start soon on clearing out the sideboard. Of course the sideboard has all the photographs stored in it, which are going to take me a long time to go through. Even after all this clearing out and throwing away I don't seem to be getting any nearer being minimalistic.
Louie and I also took a stroll along the high street after lunch. �It was quite warm for October. �I remembered to take my shopping bag. �It's the first time I've been to the shops since the carrier bag charge came in three days ago. I walked virtually the whole length of the town and back but found nothing I wanted. �So it was into the Co-op for a couple of bits and then home. I've been good and stuck to the 1000 calories that I alocated myself today. �I also worked out that 20% of my daily calories are taken up with my hot drinks. I must admit that was a bit of a shock. I have started to cut those down though. Today I have made sure that I have only had 5 cups of tea, one coffee, and one drinking chocolate. I have also managed to drink 1� litres of water. �If only I could keep this up every day for a few weeks, I would soon lose these extra pounds.
