Reviewing my goals
It's funny, I find myself uysing this as a combination for setting goals, a bit of venting and rambling, but a lot of sorting things out in my mind. Which is good, makes it very different from my other one, which is largely a 'what i've been up to' sort of thing.
1. Stretching. I've been really successful on this one. Have my outlook alarm set in my diary for twice a day during the week, and 5 minute simple routine I do. Already noticing a difference. Plus steching at gym. I'd like to work it into my evening/morning routine as well.
2. Physio. Not yet. I haven't actually been having any knee problems yet, and the personal traininer i've ust seen has given me a few stretches to address the tightness in my back/slouching, so we'll go with that for now and see how it develops
3. Gym. I joined 2 weeks ago, and I've been going 4-5 times a week. Plus there's a lovely one in rockdale with a pool I try and get to on weekends. Started seeing a personal trainer, and when the pre-paid sessions are up I'll likely get another set.
4. Running. Not yet. Must start.
5. Smoking. Almost 6 weeks!!
6. Caffiene. Okay, so this has been crap. I've generally limited myself to one coffee a day, and one cola beverage, but I fail spectacularly about 2 days a week. On the flip side, my water intake is way up.
7. Diet. Slightly better. Started bringing more lunches, and still making lots of food at home, but not always the right things. Snacking on fruit gets my sweet tooth really successfully. Contemplating doing the weight watchers things again.
And now a new one
8. Working on things with J. There's been a lot of upheaval in my life ver the past year, causeing some crazy, expecially with the trip home, being an anxious mess when I got back, things are very much at a comfortable, but not great place. I've finally gotten myself back to a place mentally where I can put the effort into this that I need to, and that's a good thing. They aren't bad, but they aren't good either, and neither of us are making an effort right now, and that has to change, or we'll simply pull further apart into our own interests and things, something I trtuly do not want to see happen.

Glad to hear the quit smoking campaign is still going strong. I wouldn't too much about caffeine unless you're really overdoing it. Up to 5 cups a day is quite safe for regular users.
Water is good and serves many purposes:
1. Hydration to stop brain sticking to skull
2. Curbs hunger (often you think you're hungry when you're actually thirsty)
3. If you drink lots at work it enforces getting up from the desk and going to the loo.
Relationship fitness is important. They need just as much work as your body, but when fit don't need as much work to maintain. You are the proud owner of an INT?. I have an owners manual somewhere at home that I can loan you.

Any sorts of owners manuals/advice like things always welcome! You're right, they take work, and while it's worth it, it's hard sometimes, and unlike my body, I don't always recognise the signals that it's giving me.
