L50-2: New Year resolutions

I limited myself to two modest ambitions: to do physical exercises every morning and to read more of an evening.

An all-night party on New Year's Eve provided me with a good excuse for not carrying out either of these new resolutions on the first day of the year,

but on the second,

I applied myself assiduously to the task.

The daily exercises lasted only 11 minutes and I proposed to do them early in the morning before anyone had got up.

The self-disciplinere quired to drag myself out of bed 11 minutes earlier than usual was considerable.

Nevertheless,

I managed to creep down into the living room for two days before anyone found me out.

After jumping about on the carpet and twisting the human frame into uncomfortable positions,

I sat down at the breakfast table in an exhausted condition.

It was this that betrayed me.

The next morning the whole family trooped in to watch the performance.
