New (or old) habits
Ive read on the Internetwebs that it takes between 21-30 days to forge a new habit. Which, is why some people were still writing the year as 2006 until a little over a week ago.
Yesterday was the beginning of my “get back in the habit” of eating well and >gasp< exercising. I had fallen off the wagon (so to speak, not the usual way) of eating well and exercising since probably November, due to high stress and the holidays. Now that most of the stress is gone due to my little trip last weekend, I set a date of February 1 to start again.
And it is basically starting over, as I am right back at the weight that I started with when I started the diet with Colin Devroe oh so many months ago.  The problem I am finding is I really want to go shoot baskets or something at the gym, but we really do not have a basketball gym (pay or otherwise) that you can just stop in. Sure if I was still an ISU student, I would have access to the facilities there, but if you aren't, all you have is an "open gym" time at the city hall type place, and that is always full of pick-up games. I like just going and shooting around.
sigh
I guess I can take a class at ISU and get my ISU card updated. LOL.  I could possibly just go to the State Gym, Beyer or Forkner buildings and take a chance nobody will question me, but I have ALWAYS been the one scared to even sneak from one movie theater to another for fear of getting caught.
Anyway, so yesterday was day one, and I had a salad for lunch and a lean cuisine for dinner, with a cup of yogurt in the morning and a snack bar dealio in the afternoon. Â I have never liked salad, but back when I did this originally, I remember getting used to it so at least my mind looked forward to >something< at lunch.
We’ll see how this goes. According to averages, I only have 20 days left to build the habit.
