Why do humans do this?
Lovely, lovely run yesterday, thanks. Took my far-too-early-rising son with me, and he rode his bike while I ran, with some walk breaks. We covered 5.34 km, and I have to say, it was the perfect way to start the day.
Today, I’m doing a food log and trying to drink a whole lotta water. Writing down every bit that goes into my mouth is an eye-opener for me everytime.
I have this pitcher I slice lemons and limes in, and then fill with ice and water and drink from it all day. When I lost weight before, I used to drink 3 of those pitchers per day. As I’m drinking it slowly today, I’m wondering how I did that. Moreso, I’m wondering why I stopped that?!?!
Why do I get lazy with good habits? I had a great water habit, one that probably left me so full and hydrated that I never felt a big need for a Diet Coke. Somewhere along the way, I let that habit slide out of the window. Sometimes I think that when I see success, I get a bit cocky, and think, ahhh, I don’t need to be so “gung-ho” about that anymore, because I’m doing well. Guess what? Cockiness leads to laziness. Laziness takes you right back to square one, I believe. No passing go, no two hundred bucks.
Getting my head around the “lifelong habit” concept this morning. You?
Seriously though, I know exactly what you mean about letting it slide when we are doing well. I noticed I tend to let the junk food slip in when I am at a good weight. Gee, why did my weight go up again?
