Time to change

My leader said to us last week, "it takes 21 days to make a change become a habit"

This has stuck with me this week, I have no idea why but it has, so that's what I have decided to do. I am going to make changes and create new habits.

What I am loving about WW this time round is I am learning as I go, unlike before where I changed the way I ate to lose weight, I am now changing the way I live to lose the weight and make sure it stays off. It is as it says a lifestyle change.

21 days of making new habits fits in well with my next time off work. I am taking some holidays the 2nd week of the school holidays, 3weeks away so I am going to try and make some changes. I can't guarantee I will stick to them all but no harm in trying.

First I am going I get up half an hour earlier on week days, this may seem like not much of a challenge but for me it's huge. I am not a morning person, actually the opposite I am more of a night owl but as I drove to work this morning, eating my Belvita biscuits as I drove, (at least I have breakfast in some form) I thought this is hardly the best way to use 6 of my precious pro points. So up earlier and breakfast before leaving the house is the plan.

Another bad habit i have is lack of exercise. i am great at finding excuses not to exercise, weather, time, mood, tired anything really but time to change. I would also like to add 10 minutes on a morning to use the vibro machine and at least 10 minutes on the Airwalker when I get home from work. 20 minutes a day is not much to ask so let's hope I can keep it up. It will help get me on track for when I do the Race for Life in July.

Adding this small changes to the ones I have already made, the drinking more water, the less diet coke, the planning my meals and tracking as you go. They all add to a slimmer, happier Dolittle.

Wish me luck x
