About fifteen pounds...it finally feels like progress. I'm still trying to just focus on daily habits, because each day will be harder now that I'm back to work. Just today: Two different people tried to ply me with various treats during professional development, and I again had to resist the temptation to skip Jazzercise and go collapse when PD ended early. Last night, I staged a mental game of chicken with my conscience until 10:45 PM, when I finally got back out of bed to work out. They say that it takes 21 consecutive days to create habits, but at day 40 it still seems so easy to just stop what I've been doing and go back. Seems to me, rather, that the formation of a new habit is proportional to the time you spent with the old one. I've had poor eating and exercise habits consistently for about 6 years, so you do the math. Suffice it to say, I'm not depending on habit to see me through just yet.
Breakfast - handful of almonds and grande breve sugar-free caramel latte - the "car bucket" of almonds has been a saving grace in times is temptation.
Lunch - cup of Tom Kha Gai soup and Thai spicy chicken salad (not what I ordered, but good)
Dinner - TBD, probably leftover wings
Exercise - Jazzercise
Evening plans - watch Shah Rukh Khan's abs over and over again on Dard-e-Disco...a girl can dream, right????? (cue long, swooning sigh...)
