While I most definitely appreciate your efforts and have learned a good deal from your tips, I personally can’t wait until the resolvers disappear again… the gym is packed!

I too am a procrastinator and find that accountability helps nip it in the bud. If I am trying something new (or getting in to an old habit like swimming before work) I try to talk about it for a few days and tell the people that I see on a daily basis so that I have that extra push of motivation to get it done because I know they are going to ask me if I did and I don’t want to have to say no!

And before anyone says anything about it: There’s a myth going around that it’s bad to re-use the plastic water bottles. And it’s just a silly myth. I’m sure the companies selling the water are happy not to quash it, of course.

Actually, that’s what I’m going to do! We have a water cooler here as well, so I am going to just keep refilling the bottle there.

This solves two problems… me not needing to keep getting sodas AND the fact that (much to my dismay) my employer doesn’t recycle (which is why my bottom drawer is full of recylcables to be toted home gradually over time).
