Improving Habits
I need to get back on track developing my habits, so I’m going to bring back the monthly habits post here on the blog.
For this month, I want to do two things.
- start weighing again daily
- stop eating sweets at work
Unfortunately, I’ve gotten back into the habit of eating sweets with lunch and/or from the vending machine. My goal this month is to give that up.
I’ll post periodic updates to let you know how that’s coming for me.
If you’ve been reading for a while, you know that I believe that dieting isn’t a very productive thing to do. Instead, I’ve worked on changing my habits gradually, and I’ve taken off about 30 pounds in the last year.
My advice on starting a new habit? Pick one and work on it for an entire month. Anything more than that is going to be overwhelming. Choose something that’s doable. Notice that I didn’t say I’d give up sweets entirely for the month, just not while I’m at work. That’s better than what I’m doing now, and it’s a good step along the way without being too much at once.
