Are we Pavlov's dog? Have we answered the bell so often we don't know hot to change the behavior? Dieting sucks.......I have been trained to diet my whole life. What have I learned? Not much I guess if I am still trying! Let's see.....this morning I did not bring my breakfast. I forgot it on my counter......good thing the dog can't reach it! Friday is bagel day in the office and it is a high point item. Is an Asiago cheese bagel with a schmere of low fat cream cheese really worth 9 or 10 points? I guess it might as for sometime I have been eating it every week. We order out on Friday for lunch....it is supposed to be my treat of the week. Oh, and then there is the occasional dinner out on Friday with the girls. How many times can I eat out in one day and stay within my 34 points? Not many is the real answer.
In the same vein, I have trained myself to get up and 'answer the bell' to go to Jazzercise in the early morning. So I guess I have learned something there. Exercise is good.
Well, I may have answered the bell to the bagel today. I have promised myself not to do that very often. It does not satisfy me as well as an english muffin with a smattering of butter and a fresh banana. It might be about the same point intake but it is volume AND it is healthier. That is what this journey is all about.......getting healthy, eating better and moving more.
On that note, like my dear friends Bruce and Shelby......time to get moving!
