Habit building ~ the journey continues ~ Ten Things Edition

1.Yesterday I went to the gym for 7:30 - my gym buddy tried to bail but I told her I'd punch her through the phone if she didn't show.  

2. We both showed up grumpy and blah - but got it done.  We did abs for 15 mins after cardio - dang I'm sore this morning. 

3. Habit building - day 3  - up at 5:30 - oil pulling - I've been doing this for a while it seems to make my skin brighter and is a way for me to focus in the morning

4. Spin class at 7:30 - I hate indoor cycling but hell its 10 degrees out again...and the first two classes are free - I hope to survive.

5. Yesterday the girl scout cookies arrived....grrrrrrr. But I am here to report a victory...
I didn't open them, and thought to myself that they really don't taste as good as I remember so best not to mess with it.  

5a. I gave them to Mo - he hid them in his studio but gave me about 8 cookies in a pretty china bowl after dinner - at first I was pissed but then I was all - that's kinda cute, I enjoyed the cookies real civilized like (instead of scarfing down a box in the car and hiding the evidence).  I was satisfied after the cookies were gone....he may be on to something.

5b. He knew if I didn't have some, I would obsess about them and then hunt them down and eat the shit out of them.  He also knew that 2 fucking cookies would never satisfy me.  8 is the perfect number.  I'm not counting calories just trying not to binge and be dysfunctional with food. 

6. Habit building is going good - day 3 of getting up early was not as painful ~ 
a. not drinking
b. work out before work
c. not binging
d. Making sure I have good food with me at all times and not let myself get hungry ~ this is part of battling the fear of being hungry - a long battle that is baseless but probably self created from years of dieting and starving myself.

7. I love watching CMT in the morning - its a habit I started last year when I realized the news was bullshit.  But the Florida Georgia line are a tad bit cheesy these days...I can't help but laugh when the "how we roll" video comes on.

8.  Work is crazy but this year is not as bad b/c Mo is home taking care of me and the dogs - I texted him that I was on my way  last night and when I got home dinner was on the table.  WOW!  Love that guy!

9.  Life is good - I have to remember to feel blessed.

10.  Habit building at work is helping us to get a shit load of work done ~ I think I'm on to something!

  2. ummm... great plan with the cookies. I did the same thing with some chocolate. Gave it to Greg and haven't even been obsessing about it. Well, not after he gave me some of it. :)

  3. Your superpower is ... punching people through the phone? That's awesome! ;)

    I used to buy a ton of GS cookies (from everyone whose kid asked me) because I sold so many in my day. Now most of my friends' kids are out of Scouts, so I can dodge the bullet. I did buy one box at the grocery store, but I gave it to my HB and never saw it again.

  4. Good for you.
    Can you tell me how to punch someone through a phone? Is that sort of punch traceable, b/c if it is not, I can think of at least one person whose face I would like to pummel. :-)

  5. Sounds like a great plan, having him portion the cookies out for you!

    I have got to try this oil pulling stuff. How long did you keep it in your mouth for?

  6. "I'm not counting calories just trying not to binge and be dysfunctional with food." That is my dream!
