I've been thinking and thinking about what to do about my corsets and my (current) weight. I know they don't fit the way they used to, I know I have at least 80 pounds to lose (or more) and I also know I've not been taking myself as seriously with this goal as I need to be. I stumbled on this article about increased risk for Type II Diabetes last night.
The study cited increased risk in French women around a meager 16.9 ounces of soda a week. That's about 2 (small) cans. Who drinks two cans of soda a week? I drink about 2 full glasses of diet soda per day. On a good day, I try to limit myself to one diet soda serving a day. On a light week, I drink about 3 servings. It really must be close to 'addiction' on some level, because quitting drinking soda is a little bit harder than I'd imagined. (Not a lot, just a little.)
Since there are 52 weeks in the year, and I have at least that number of things I can think of to help me toward my goal of fitting healthily into my 29" corsets by the end of the year, I figured if I add one positive habit per week, at least that's finite and measurable.
Today is Saturday. So for this week, I will work on replacing soda intake with water, juice and tea. So far, today, I've had one glass of orange juice and no soda.
I'm choosing small, attainable goals. At the end of the week, month, and year, I've either added healthy habits and eliminated poor ones, or I haven't.
Here's to a good year!
