My new leaf

It’s the sensible breakfast at home instead of the bought croissant on the way to the office.

It’s fruit and yoghurts and rice cakes for lunch instead of the shop sandwich and the hard to resist bag of crisps and bar of chocolate.

It’s sugar free drinks instead of sugar rich drinks.

It’s sugar free polos instead of extra strong mints.

It’s not having that sandwich when you get home from work but starting on dinner straight away instead.

It’s not having anything else to eat after dinner.

It’s eating before the gig or play instead of waiting for late night food when you get home.

It’s having three nights a week off the booze.

It’s walking up the stairs instead of taking the lift.

It’s doing half an hour on the exercise bike three or four times a week.

It’s thinking about these things, again and again and again.
