Old Habits

Day 24

I have this habit when it comes to lunch. I grab a cookie and enjoy it while I am making lunch. Its not a substitution or to delay eating. This is a habit that started when I was little. My job was to make cookies for my dad. Now I make them for my family. My breakfast in High School was two cookies and a diet coke, so changing this is changing a part of who I am. Homemade cookies have been a way of life. I can gave up potato chips but I rarely ate them growing up so that was easy.

   Wellness is about making life changes not just changes for 30 days. I need to set goals along the way to keep these changes attainable. Today I have no cookies in the house but I do have time to make them but no kids to eat them. Should I make them anyway? 

I do not have time to paint the walls either but I do have time to hang curtains. It makes all the difference. Having one room “finished” is settling. It designates a place to hang out. I have one major project and so many little ones, so am going to start crossing them off my list.
