Isn't that supposed to be the thing? If you do something for 30 days it becomes a habit? 30 days right? Well, I don't have a calendar by me, but we've got to be close. And even if the calendar doesn't say so, you tell me if this is a habit.
Got up yesterday, put the dishes away and made my oatmeal. Did the dishes right after I was done. Little later, put the dishes away, at my power bites, washed a few more dishes. A little later, made my fish tacos (sooooo goooooood!), ate them, and did the dishes right away. Later, I put those dishes away, started making my turkey and broccoli "sauce" for pasta, and washed the dishes.
We went to the movies where you can eat stuff at your table. I got water! Went to Wendy's afterwards, I got nothing! Came back home, made some pasta, ate it, did the dishes and went to bed. Oh yeah, I did try one of the chocolate covered bananas with walnuts too (sooooo goooood! How could it not be good - it's chocolate and bananas!)
And here's the big thing: I wasn't totally depressed about any of that! 30 days ago, if you would have told me I was doing dishes three times a day, preparing food for an hour, going to Wendy's and not getting anything or not having a Coke when everyone else is eating junk food, I would have said three words: "Kill me now!"
But, with the help of sports radio, dishes are food prep - kind of fun! And having a few unhealthy snacks every now and then (or a whole lot of them a couple days before) keeps me sane for the days when I don't have them. And, in my mind, I've already got it planned out - have a "Last Supper" on Thursday night, start celebrating on "Easter Saturday", then on Monday have my meals ready to go.
Habit?
