21/90

It takes 21 days to create a habit and it takes 90 days to keep it. WOW! When you step back and thinking about what that really means...you start to realize that in your life time the habits we create probably out weigh the habits that we try to break. Also understanding that it takes 21 days to create one...I have 17 more days to go to create this new habit. But the real test will come for me to do this for 90 day to make this a lifestyle.

Last night I had my first interaction with temptation. I am involved with many Chamber activities which means that most of the nights during the week I am not home till after 7pm. These events are designed for networking and eating. And boy is the eating part a big deal. Normally it's all bar/appetizer type food. Nothing that I can eat. But last night was good, I wasn't tempted, I brought my own "snack" and while I was networking I had that. It worked out just as planned.

Someone said to me, "do you think you'll be happier when your weighing less." It's not that I'll be happier because I am happy with my life. But I am looking forward to having more energy, my body not hurting and enjoying a new outlook on life. Another night of not having any acid reflex and it was wonderful. Honestly though it's only been 4 days-the fact that I can sleep through the night and not feel like I'll be up every 2-3 hours is wonderful.

Weight lose this morning -.2 * I have two ways to look at this. I could be down and depressed because it was a whole pound OR I'm happy with .2 because I didn't gain. I understand there will come a time that it will happen, but it won't be the end of the world. I didn't gain all this weight over night and I know I won't lose it over night either-so .2 this morning is a good thing!

Make it a great day!
