abbadabba's Journal, 13 Feb 19

Started reading a book called The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg and so far I think it will help me. First bit I am going to implement is to reward myself with awesome steak tips from Mamagoo's sandwich shop after I work out on Wednesday nights. I go straight from work, and then I am on the road going home at 7:30 pm or so, meaning I won't get home til 8:30. If I order my dinner before I take a shower at the gym, then I can get my food, eat a bit and then drive home and not care about the McD french fries that I pass on way home. I crave high-quality steak. It's a throwback to my trainer boyfriend who used to reward me with chocolate or ice cream or steak after we worked out. I don't miss the guy but I do miss the steak!
Here's the ted talk that made me get into reading the book: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMbsGBlpP30

There may be some other trick to this habit-changing but I got my stuff together this morning to get to the gym tonight so the new reward starts tonight.
Made some avocado chocolate pudding and that has been a tasty breakfast. Not a lot of sugar in it, so I may have to add some fruit for tomorrow, like applesauce or some of the pear puree I have in the fridge.
Eye doctor tomorrow! bleh.
Hope you have a great Wednesday!
PS I made my lunch today and thought of supporting Sharon's Victory by eating healthy. <3

I would love to hear more about the book and your implementation of its suggestions. I'm a big believer in habitual behavior. The less thought required, the better. Plenty of thought required by life anyway.
