I have company staying with me this week, and they have no interest in being awake with me at 5am. I want to be as quiet as I can while getting ready, and today, that meant skipping my oatmeal breakfast at home and, instead, grabbing something on the way. Ans what's right next to my office? 7-11. And what do they have?
Yep, my old breakfast of choice, the Hostess Donettes. That's what I ate again this morning, all six of them washed down with a 64 ounce Double Gulp Diet Coke. And I enjoyed every bit of it. Oh, yes, there is a reason those donettes became a habit for me back in the day. They are easy to eat on the go and they taste delicious.
Action 321 - Mind The Bad Habits. I'm not going to beat myself up over this, but I am going to be honest with myself about them. They are mostly wasted calories. Less than hour later, I was already hungry again. For fewer calories, I could have had oatmeal and fresh fruit.
Yes, I had complicating factors this morning that helped influence me to make a poor choice for breakfast. And I'll just move on from it without making more of it than I should. But my action here is to remember the bad habits that led to my weight gain and make a commitment that meals like these are exceptions and not routine.
Bad habits can feel great, but good habits will keep me on track to achieve my health and fitness goals.
