Thank you all!!
Well this changing habits thing is harder than I thought. I was all set to go for a "real" run/walk but then other things cropped up - and as I have done so many times in the past few months, my exercise was pushed to the side.
So I'm trying a different approach. I'm working within my existing habits and making them more mobile. For example - there are two buses I can catch to work. One drops me off directly outside my building - the other stops at the convention centre and it is a bit of a hike to my building. Normally I catch the "lazy" bus and mentally congratulate myself for getting to work quickly. Today I caught the other bus and got off one stop early. For Perth locals, I got off at Jacobs Ladder and walked into the city. Not a long walk by any stretch of the imagination, but fairly decent. Then, because I normally get into work very early I eat breakfast at my desk. Instead of my croissants and hot chocolate I got muesli and orange juice. Remarkabley satisfying.
So while my exercise is not up there - yet - I am conscious of the choices I am making.
For the record, I was still cycling to work until a couple of months ago when it was dark when I got to work and dark when I left, and very very cold. I got out of that habit - and perhaps time to get back into it now that the season has changed.

If you keep making little changes like that, you'll be back where you were before you know it!
21 days and it become s ahabit i believe-muesli is lovely too!! its almost like dessert---errr almost
Great stuff Celeste.
I started again also to make more conscious choices and add those extra activities. Was just handed a small muffin at work the other day, just put on my desk, some girl felt like baking ... when she was gone after an hour on my desk I wrapped it in tissue and chucked it. Next time I hope she asks, "would you like a muffin" I felt bad but proud!
Getting back on the bike here too again after 3 weeks of the flu, yik. Sad one loose it so quick.
BTW, enjoy Melbourne you lucky girl.
