Keiki and Humuhumu running up the hill toward Paxton’s Tower in Carmarthenshire, Wales, whilst pretending to be aeroplanes.

• Survive Brexit. Gritting teeth and getting on with it. DONE
  
  
• Go to the gym twice a week. I note that last week, I’d thought this one was going to go better. Not so much, given that I was only in the office two days and it was wall-to-wall meetings. I did do quite a lot of walking, though, so it’s not like I didn’t get exercise. Still, I need to do better next week or the whole month will be lost. 0/2 NOT DONE
  
  
• Don't eat meat at lunchtime. As I was at home a good deal and polishing off leftovers for lunch rather than making vegetarian sandwiches, this didn’t happen. NOT DONE
  
  
• Consume meat at evening meals a maximum of three times per week. No meat on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday. DONE
  
  
• Consume alcohol once per week socially and once at home. No chance to do this socially, but had booze three evenings this week (just one beer, except for last night). NOT DONE
  
  
• Leave 3 comments per day on LJ and DW on other people's posts. Failed on Wednesday, when everything was just too hard. NOT DONE
  
  
• Write one community post per month. Already DONE for February.
  
  
• Read more than ten new books this year. Too much going on this week, so still at 5/11. NO PROGRESS
  
  
• Reduce Facebook checks from once a week to once a month. I had to look this week due to being directed to a post on one of the school groups, so that means I’ve looked twice in Feb. Boo. NOT DONE
  
  
• Eliminate the two phone games I still play. Still not quite quit of the second one, but time spent is now very minimal. PROGRESS MADE

I'd say that looking at/for a /specific post/ on Farcebook probably doesn't count for the same as /checking/ it. Different mindset and context.

For a busy week, definitely looking pretty good! Only marginal failures on many things, and leftovers that would have existed anyway for lunch seems like a decent alternative when you need a change.

I like that interpretation, thank you!

If I hadn't eaten the leftovers, they would have gone off, so it made sense to consume them from a minimising-waste perspective, if not a trying-to-be-more-vegetarian perspective.

[jtthomas]

They're definitely both valid perspectives, whichever way you're leaning. But I know so many people that are on the be-more-vegetarian side /in order to/ reach that minimal-waste perspective that I figured I'd point it out.

This sounds like such a hell week.

[nanila]

It was very tiring, particularly on the emotional front, without sufficient in-person support. :/

[silveradept]

Given what kind of week it was, you did well anyway.

Also, children bring airplanes is excellent.

[nanila]

Thank you.

The "NYYEEEEWWW VROOOM" noises were somewhat lost in the gale-force winds, but they were still made with great enthusiasm.
