Habits

A Saturday with beautiful weather. Walked this morning (see previous blog), did bits and bobs round the house. I’m pre-blogging this as we’re off to Hastings now to settle into a hotel, get dressed ready and go off to a wedding reception, then back to Hastings for the night. I anticipate my 30 minutes walk tomorrow to be walking off breakfast along the beach So here’s where I’ve got to so far today, I’ll post another update it if anything changes….

Habit 0: Blog on JustBigBoned.com every day

Walk through the woods, this (and updated Habits).

Habit 2: When I’m feeling poorly I deserve as much fruit to eat as I want

Bananas and apples today to stave off the ‘feeling crappy’ blues.

Habit 3: Pause before eating. Take your time and enjoy

Still going strong with this.

Habit 4: Always choose one of the top 2 healthiest options

Had cheese toasties for lunch, but ‘cut’ the cheese using a potato peeler. Thin enough that I’m quite happy it was a healthy option. I’m anticipating this being the challenge tonight at the reception, but it’s a carefully worded habit – I don’t have to eat like a rabbit all the time. I just have to choose one of the healthiest options available. This way I get to feel good rather than bad if I eat a bit of something ‘naughty but nice’. It’s about building habits and gaining momentum in the right direction, not living like monk!

Habit 5: Walk a minimum of 30 minutes a day (or 500 steps in bad weather).

Previous post explains the hour long saunter through the woods that I had with my son this morning.

No opportunity for the following though:

Habit 1: Take a different walk through the train station
