Another good day yesterday. I'm eating much healthier food - getting in five servings of fruits and vegetables. Yesterday, I had two servings of baby lima beans, a serving of homemade Chick-fil-A Coleslaw, a whole apple (sliced with cheddar cheese on it), and a serving of a smoothie I had made the day before and frozen it to be like ice cream - it had at least one serving of mixed banana, blueberries, strawberries and grapes.
Drank my 8 cups of water.
Walked 1.5 miles. Knee was hurting from the time I woke up. This was my 8th day of walking more than just for my Premise jobs. Walking for 200 steps every half an hour is working very well for me, and it is starting to feel like a habit.
Finished up "Mini Habits for Weight Loss" by Stephen Guise for the second time yesterday. Starting a Christian book called "Breaking the Stronghold of Food" by Michael and Nancy Brown. I'm a little hesitant to take my focus away from the habit-building reading (listening on Audible). It's only a 7-hour read though, so I won't have my attention diverted for too long. Should finish that in two or three days. Then, I plan to go back and do "Atomic Habits" by James Clear for a FOURTH time. That is the one that got me started with the mini habits, and it's an easy listen at only 5 hours and 35 minutes.
Today's Quote: "People with high self-control tend to spend less time in tempting situations." (James Clear, "Atomic Habits") Make unhealthy foods inconvenient by having them out of sight, or if possible, don't bring them into your home at all. Have healthy alternatives in plain sight. The focal point on my kitchen counter right now is a bowl of washed black grapes, four bananas and two Honeycrisp apples. (It used to be three different boxes of Entennman donut varieties.)
