We are all creatures of habit, aren’t we? I certainly am. But there are ways to get around that.
One of the habits that is hard to break for me is sitting down in the living room right after I wake up. It feels good to sit down for a few minutes, sometimes more because I just woke up and that helps me wake up. But because this is right before work, I am eating into my learning time. And it’s not just a minute or two, sometimes it is 5, sometimes 10, and sometimes even more. How do I get around that? By sitting down on the stairs. It’s not as comfy so it only takes me a minute or two to come alive. I’ve been doing that this week and it’s been working. I will try to do that everyday.
The other habit that I have not cracked just yet is staying consistent in what I eat. I got to around 185 pounds, but lately it got up to 189. I feel heavy. But bottom line is that I have to find a way to eat more at work and less when I come home. I think that’s key to controlling my weight. When I come home so hungry I usually over eat. And I also have to stop eating snacks at night. That has a bad effect on my gut. But this is still ways for me to experiment.
