YIKES - 500 calories at breakfast!?!?!?  Not Good.

LUNCH:

DINNER:
Pasta Saltimboca - from The Italian Village downtown - at least 900 Cal

Gym - I have a lot of excuses today.  They are really good ones, I assure you! It's about 50-50 I will go (probably a little less than that).  Good news?  I've already spent 30 minutes shoveling snow, and Duffy (the dog) totally needs a walk today.  So, even if I miss the gym, it will be a pretty active day.

It is incredibly challenging trying to reverse a lifetime of habits.  The one constant is that nearly all habits because routine when you stop thinking about them.  The things you do automatically require no thought.  These actions are almost a passive response.  That's bad and dangerous.  We will never make a good decision when we are not trying to make a good decision.  Without thinking 'What is the BEST THING I can do right now?  What is MOST IMPORTANT to me?" - without that consideration, people (absolutely including myself) will just do the simplest thing.  Healthy living is not hard, but it takes more active thought than the couch potato.
