Changing food habits is one of those things you can do, but it seems troublesome. I am a creature of habit, gotta change some habits. Little changes, starting slow. I meal plan for supper, that is usually locked in. Five meals planned, helps with the grocery trip. Breakfast on a work day is basic, yogurt and granola for me. Lunch is a rush and that is where I need to make the biggest change. Lunch needs to be done the night before. Dashing to do ten things in twenty minutes, means I am last in the equation. If that happens, I overeat at supper and the circle goes round and round. I will now try to add overnight oats, a smoothie and or soup/ wrap/ salad into my day, to keep it balanced. Right now it is cheese whiz on a folded piece of bread.
To break a habit, you have to start a new one and maintain it, for it to stick. I love food. And replacing plastic cheese is for the best. I also think my second coffee rule needs to be tweaked, having a coffee after 12 is going to mess with my sleep. If that second one isn’t done by lunch, I need to toss it. More importantly I cannot forget to drink my water after work, I can certainly tell the difference if I skip it. Maybe February will be different this year.
Everyone’s journey is different, I just know I have to change it up. I don’t want to be miserable for the rest of winter. I think it is just the cold, when it is extreme and my fingers split and crack instantly. It doesn’t matter what I wear on my hands. I will just keep adjusting and get through it!
