Break the Cycle: another update from Molly!

Hello!  It is Molly and I am checking in on Presidents Day.  I am very thankful that I have today off.  In fact, I made it a long weekend and took Friday off as well. 

Last time I was here I spoke of project RESTART: Breaking The Sedentary Cycle.  I set some goals.

• At least 64 ounces of water every day – No problem, I use Nalgene bottles to measure water when I am on the go.
  
  
• Three gym workouts with weights – Yes, but it is still hard to make time to get there.
  
  
• Sit Ups and Push Ups- FAILURE- my thought was that I would make this part of my evening routine at home.  Some how I have never to been able to make this happen.
  
  
• Sensible choices eating every three to four hours.- I have done ok with this goal however, I could be better.  All good things in time – I hope.
  
  
• Work on the clutter in my room.- This is a work in progress.  However, I do not have much on the floor at the moment.
  

Here is what I learned this week:  I am very susceptible to “peer pressure.”  By peer pressure I mean when my significant other brings illegal contraband (aka peanut M and M’s) into the home, I want them too.  Sadly, I want them even if I am not hungry.  I am like Pavlovs dog.  I hear the M and M’s being poured into the bowl and I want to be fed candy.  It is terrible!

Healthy Food/Favorite Meals:  I have been embracing things that I love when they are available.  There has been some great fresh Dungeness Crab and King Crab in our grocery stores. When I am able to get things like this it make me feel like I am eating something special.  I also have been enjoying some great blue berries that I got at Costco in my oatmeal.

Goals for this week

• Three gym workouts with weights
• Keep moving try to avoid sitting so much when I get home
• Small meals every three hours or so
• Sit ups and push ups
• Minimize clutter
• AVOID ANY CONTRABAND like peanut M and M’s.
