I most likely won’t be posting everyday. With everything I have going on in my life I just don’t have the time to post everyday. Just giving a heads up.
You know, I read once that it takes 21 days for the very first roots of a habit to get put down, that is also the time frame for any big slip ups. It then takes another two months ( a total of three months) for it to become an actual habit. Same place I read about the “Habit Time Frame” I read that you should set up a reward for each milestone hit; for the first four weeks a reward should be set for the end of each week, and then again after each month for the next two months. If you want, you can set a reward for the remaining nine months, after each quarter is when you would get the reward.
If that at all makes sense to anyone but me, I’ll be surprised. Hopefully, writing out my plan that reflects the above will help clear up my jumbled description.
So, I called 3/4/11 Day One, and this is the plan using that date for the rest of the year:
3/11/11: A day to myself
3/18/11: Some new yarn
3/25/11: Trip out to Chena (sans Kiddo)
4/01/11: Real date night with Seth
5/01/11: It’s my birthday month (30 years old) I’m just gonna have a big ‘ol party
6/01/11: New wardrobe (or at least some new clothes if I’m still not there yet)
9/01/11: More new yarn
12/1/11: New boots (without having to get rid of a pair of shoes)
3/01/12: ?
So, rewards aside, I really oughtta post about how I did the last few days.
I have a 1,700 calorie limit set. The first day I met it, day two I went over by 49 calories and today, well, I made chocolate chip banana pancakes for breakfast. While that took a big chunk out of my limit, compared to the 200-300 calorie meals I’ve been trying to hit, I’m still on track. Plus, that many carbs and I’m still full after 3 1/2 hours after breakfast. So, no snack and most likely a light and late lunch will balance my count out.
