Hello,
So, here my experience of the trial --> I did not succeed my multi-task goal!
1-Get up at 5a.m. --> I did for 3 days, and then I was so tired, that I give up. So I told myself that maybe 5a.m was too early for me to begin with and that it would be better to try first to wake up each day at the same time (which I never did). So I decided that getting up at 7am, including weekend, was a good start. Unfortunately, I couldn't do it rightly because, on several occasions, for my work, I had to get up at 5am (ironic?) to catch a train and consequently I was so tired the next day that I overstayed in bed.
2-Make a diet. --> This one is definitely the hardest one. I have a major problem with food because of my ex-husband who used to tell me I was fat while I wasn't (BMI 22 at that time) each time I eated something that was not a fruit or vegetable. As a consequence, I started to eat in secret, and so on and so on, and now I am truly overweight (BMI 27.5). I found very hard to change my habits now and I don't know how to start. I would like to lose weight quickly because I begin to feel the effects (my back hurts, my joints hurt, I can't walk for long because my knees hurt .. :-(( ..). But maybe, this is the problem. I tried to loose weight too quickly. I truly want to give up junk food, eat healthier and become a vegetarian, give up coffee. In other words to have a healthier life.
3-Exercise 6 days a week. --> First week was fine. Then I give up, why? I don't know. I think I like telling myself that I lack time because I've got so much to do (which is true but should not be a reason). However the good point is that I'm going to a ballroom class each week and since…October. That is a very good point and I am proud of myself for once.
4-No TV --> First three days were fine and then…
Therefore I can say that I completely failed in this trial.
I think one of my main problem is procrastination, in almost every area of my life, including studies. For example, in 10 days, I have 6 exams and I have to study 90% of the subject for 3 exams, knowing that 2 exams out of the 6 are translation (and so there is nothing to study --> how lucky I am!). So, now it is not a good time to make a diet because I'm too nervous and I truly don't have time to exercise each day. Ironically I could say that the positive side is that ultimately I will have to get up at 5am to study and I won't have time to watch TV!
To sum up, I feel like a complete loser.
Well, I'm in holiday for a week from 19th February and I will try again at that date.
So, and you?? How are you doing? Better than me I hope.
Looking forward to read your experience.
