12.2 lbs trounced
"To eat is necessity, to eat intelligently is art." -La Rochefoucauld
I bought a book at Barnes & Noble about Healthy Living and how it takes the human brain 21 Days to form or break a habit. It came with a bracelet that reads, Make It A Habit, which I've been wearing these past ten days. The book is also part journal, and has a quote for each day. I'm adding most of them to my mini flash cards for motivation and to maintain focus. I'm happy with about 80% of my progress or success, which is what most motivators agree is best. Allowing 20% of my time for being a human and therefore imperfect is necessary. I'm glad so many well known motivational speakers agree or the phrase wouldn't have been penned and I'd be discouraged after my off-weekend of junk food and shopping while catching up with an old girl friend. I gained two pounds over two days and felt such a failure. But today I feel good, not great but good enough to urge the horse-drawn wagon onward toward my destination.
My other close friend is in the UK studying for her graduate degree and won't have the funds or the time for a visit like that for a year; so I'm breathing with sweet relief that temptation has waned and will remain ebbed throughout.
