One of the things I have enjoyed about my recent nomadic existence has been that every 6 months or so I got to start fresh. I’d normally sit down and think about the stuff I wanted to change, the bad habits I want to break and the opportunities I want to have a crack at.

I’m not sure about you guys but once I get into a bad routine I find it hard to break – be it sleeping in, drinking/partying too much, not eating right, not exercicing enuf or not working hard enuf.

This move to the beach is a little different for me as I think I might be here for a long period of time and I want to get myself into a good routine.

Here are a few things that I have done during my first couple of days which I want to continue….

• Get up early – no sleeping in until midday.
• Eat less – I reckon I can loose 10kgs before Xmas easy.
• Party and drink a little less.
• Long list of work projects which I want to get stuck into.

I think those 4 things are all tied into each other.  The last couple of days I’ve been getting up early and walking along the beach to the local bakery and having a proper breakfast, then I’m not hungry during the day, I’m getting a stack of work done before midday and after a few drinks after dinner I’m ready for bed.  Seems like a self perpetuating cycle.  If I can keep it up I’ll be much more productive and seductive in my speedos.

Speaking of new starts – do you guys like the new header image?  Here is another pic of that guy.
