A lifestyle change does not mean that I have to\u00a0give up the things I\u00a0love to do, in order to better control my\u00a0eating urges. \u00a0It means I have to bust through the barriers of my bad habits and forge new possibilities and new, broader limits for myself. This week has been quite a challenge. My main focus has shifted to things other than calorie counting which has made it difficult in that area.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I have been involved this week with a major clean-up job around the building. \u00a0It looks great!! I&#8217;m so proud of all my hard work! And it will be so much easier to move around in here too!<\/li>\n<li>We have plunged full force into our financial stability plan. So I am budgeting the money and making sacrifices as needed. \u00a0That&#8217;s kind of hard to get used to.<\/li>\n<li>I have embraced my new time management plan, also. The outlook calendar on my hard-drive is set it up to hold my schedule, and I have added some things to my day. \u00a0It&#8217;s gone pretty well, but the last week I have been too busy. I want\u00a0to to get back to it on Monday.<\/li>\n<li>I have been testing in the kitchen to find some good candy recipes for my little cottage kitchen business. \u00a0There are still a few more to try. Once I settle on the ones I will offer, my attention will turn to packaging them. \u00a0Then I need to look at cookie recipes. \u00a0I have eaten a few pieces of candy and I will find out Sunday when I weigh in, what the damage is.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I have a real hard time balancing between various tasks and tend to be all or nothing about things. \u00a0But I am fighting that bad habit, because I realize that trying to always do everything perfectly is unrealistic. \u00a0It is actually counter-productive. \u00a0Today I am going to be happy with what I do accomplish, \u00a0It won&#8217;t be perfect! And if I gain weight this week, then I will try harder next week. \u00a0It&#8217;s going to take time to learn how to eat right, come what may.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; When I say that calorie counting for me, is a lifestyle change, I really mean that.
