I dragged my rump to the gym this afternoon after work. It was a necessary action that should have happened sooner. I have had nothing that could pass as any good physical activity in approximately two weeks. During that time I have come directly home from work and managed to snack myself through a buffet of junk foods before making dinner and then eating again. I decided it had to stop and since the time in which this bad behavior seemed to occur was after work I made the decision that was the time frame I needed to concentrate on. I had to do something after work to divert myself from this lazy grazing. What could be better than using that time to get a work-out in? I have done that before. I can't exactly run outside at that time due to our 103 degree weather of late and I shouldn't have stopped completely anyway. I made up my mind to get over myself and to stop finding reasons why I couldn't and find ways I could. So I did. And I will.
I have successfully filled that time one day today. In order to make it a habit I need to make it happen another 20 days to complete the 21 days to make it a habit gambit. So tomorrow again and then the next. I will fill that black hole of snacking time with the necessary diversion I should have been using in that time slot for in the first place.
Whew! I might have caught this just in time. 20 more days...
