So far, so far good on the February goals and aims.

As I thought may be the case, I have definitely found it easier to keep up the routine of exercise while at work. Despite that, I have found myself making up the minimum 20 minutes at home anyway through walks or swims everyday.

More importantly I have had some amazing experiences. Swam at dawn in a beautiful pool surrounded by bush. Paddled in the ocean like a dog dodging kite surfers and letting the doctor sweep me along with it.

I think I should be able to make the 5 book total too. So far I've read The Dawkins Letters, Fast Food Nation, Screw it, Lets Do It and almost have The God Delusion finished. Also have a couple of books up at work on the go... should be good.

Will update all at the end of the month, with that all important score!

Right also next month will be an important one for me...

I'm going to attempt to tackle my biggest bad habit - Picking.

For a long time, I've touched, picked, prodded and scratched at my face. I've never had bad pimples or acne, but I've often had bad skin, with every little outbreak exacerbated by my fingers to a multitude of scabs.
I've always been a grub, with my face covered with everything from my hands quicker and more fully than anyone I know.

I need to stop doing this.

- It's embarrassing - having a dirty face, getting caught picking, bloody scabs

- It costs me money in skin care

- I don't want to inadvertently pass the habit on

- It's could lead to permanent scarring, fungal infections and other health issues

So the plan of attack still needs some refining. I'm going to attempt to keep my hands busy.

More later
