Everyday Systems

Jump-starting old habits I once established but which have degraded. One daily habit at a time. Starting out, reestablishing No Sugar.

June 17: no sugar
June 22: no food for rest of day after one plate of dinner
June 26: no snacks; no seconds
To reestablish: daily exercise
To reestablish: meals less than 1/2 carb-based
To reestablish: smaller plate/cup/bowl sizes
To reestablish: daily rosary
To reestablish: 50 pp reading/day minimum
To reestablish: 20 min/day internet maximum

I love this idea, taking it a day and a habit at a time! This is a great concept!
Good luck

Thanks! The last 2 years went really well, thanks to the humane sanity of no-S: I lost 35 lbs, putting me in a range my doctor is happy with; I ran a 10K with my oh-so-supportive husband as coach; I've been nicer to my kids; I've been more at peace. Then we hit some rocky family stuff and stress eating kicked in. Working now on dragging myself back onto the rails, physically, mentally, and spiritually. All is grace.

Sounds like a plan! Welcome back.

A green week of no sweets; three green days of no post-dinner eating. Now to extend that to no snacks.

("Reestablishing days" aren't days when I restart each habit--I'm working on all these goals -- they're the days when I commit to getting it done every day.)
