1 New Habit at a time

I skipped my AM workout again this morning, but I went to the gym at lunch today! I also went to my bellydance class last night. I was pretty good about my food intake, but I need to be a bit better organized with my meal planning and making sure I'm eating regularly enough to not get super hungry. This'll just take a little bit of time as I figure it all out. Anyway, I've decided that it's all rather overwhelming to adopt all these new habits all at once, so I'm not going to beat myself up about it too much. Instead, I'm going to make sure that I start at least 1 new healthy habit each week. So this week, that healthy habit has been working out during the day (going to the gym or power-walking at lunch and attending my evening dance classes). I'm also trying very hard to eat healthier and hopefully I'll have that totally down by next week. I've also committed to going to LA Weight Loss 3x a week, and so far I've stuck to that. So, rather than beat myself up because I haven't also gotten up that 45 minutes earlier to work out in the morning, I should be quite proud of myself for the other stuff! Next week I'll commit myself to get up earlier and work out (in addition to the other stuff). Part of the problem with the mornings is that I also need to train myself to get to bed earlier, which is tough, I'll have to make that part of next week's commitment as well.

I should be all set to have 4 healthy meals today. For breakfast I had an instant oatmeal and a glass of pressed mango juice. After my workout (about 12:30) I stopped at the Salad Bar on my way back to work. I guess my body was craving carbs after my workout because the prospect of eating greens just totally turned me off and that's what I usually get. Instead I got fruit and a small helping of curried pasta salad. I've got green salad and chicken breast meat prepared for later this afternoon, and I've taken some salmon out of the freezer to have for dinner tonight. Hopefully, this will leave me properly satisfied and help relieve the temptation to snack this evening (my big downfall).
