31 Days Of Panda, to July 31

Well.

It's 3:23am as I type this, and I think I can honestly say I have not discovered that I seriously lack for willpower. This is a joke, though, the punchline being that I already knew I seriously lack for willpower. What I have discovered is how amazingly difficult it is to do 31 days of anything, including being myself, or at least the myself I would rather be. Therefore, I propose another attempt...

What I did achieve during July:
- managed to stop biting my fingernails for about a week
- walking to and from work maybe half the days
- about three gym trips
- a spurt of very long walks, aborted by my sandals deciding to snap (while on a very short walk, fortunately)
- a little self-control, but again only for about a week or ten days
- getting One Plus One to about 90% complete
- an improved diet at work - for about half the month. But also, a lot of meals out...
- blogging on a reasonably regular basis

Hmmm. Well, it could've been worse. Of course my only valid defence is that I was worried a lot about Sarah. But fortunately, her health seems to be improving each day - she's still in pain, but painkillers are now actually working (first time for everything, especially in these last three months), and we're optimistic that she'll manage to get through "Rent" and reach the end of August without being, y'know, dead or anything like that. (Don't anyone read this back to me if it turns out we were wrong.)

So, 31 Days Of Panda restarts for August.

And I have a new X-Box 360. Tee! :)
