Zen Habit Change Style

One my way to minimalism and simplyfying I came to the book by Leo Babauta: "The Power of Less" and apart from writing, what I knew, that you need about a month to change a habit, since I wrote that somewhere else, he also wrote, that one should change one habit at a time and make oneself accountable.
So I decided to make myself accountable in this blog. But with what habit? You will doubtless wish to know. Well. Since I am to start small, I start with having my breakfast, every morning at home at my dining table.
This may sound weird, but I do not always have my breakfast, if I have it, it is not always at home and then it isn't always sitting down. For some time I managed to have my breakfast as described above  and it was good for me. I had a regular meal, I did not feel the need to eat before lunch and I steadily lost weight, which is very good for me.

There is another reason to choose breakfast. The book or rather its author stated, that one should find out ones values, goals, what one loves, what is important to oneself, what has the most impact, what the most longterm impact. What do I need and what do I want?

In my case: among several other things I value my health. My goal is to become healthier and keep that way. Again, among other goals. I love my family and friends and my health, which is important to me, has the biggest and the most longterm impact on my life. What do I need? Health, what do I want, eat what I like, when I like.

So what would you say? Health is uppermost in my life and so I made this one big goal: Get Healthy and stay that way. BUT that's not all, or rather quite a lot. So I divide it into subgoals.

Change my eating habits.
Change my sleeping habits
Change the food I eat
Start excercising
Loose 19 kg = 38 Pounds (in Germany, we usually count in kilos, not pounds or I do)

All these Subgoals I can break into projects and since I am to have no more than three projects, that take no longer than a month, but of which one is at least goal related, here are my projects, starting tomorrow, Easter Monday:

1. have breaktfast every morning at home, at my table, sitting down.
    until April 25th 2016
2. research green smoothies = find out about vegetable smoothies to get more iron in
    until April 1st 2016
3. finish the task from last week at work
    until April 3rd 2016

I don't think, that it'll take me so very long to find green smoothies on the internet and I
can buy supplie on my local farmers market on April 2nd. So that's done. I can have a smoothie every morning with my breakfast.

As to what I eat for breakfast. At the beginning, that is determined by what is in my pantry and my fridge. But since I have already stopped buying the very unhealthy stuff for breakfast and have eliminated (the unhealthy way of eating it up), what I had, it is not such a bad choice.

So!!! Wake up:

For the coming month in the light of accountability you will have a blogpost every day, just to tell you, wether I did have my breakfast at home, at my table sitting down.
It will be:

done                                 for success
almost                              for breakfast at my office desk
at least I ate breakfast     for breakfast on the run.
lost                                   for no breakfast at all.

Let us - or at least me start the games. Although, I started yesterday, but I wanted to start on a monday officially.

Oh: I do not set a particular time, since my wake-up-time-habit-change comes later. :)

All the best and for all the christians or those who hold the feast:   Happy Easter!
