Finding new ways to challenge old behaviors...

It starts slow, you've heard it before... stairs instead of elevators, that kind of thing. I realize that exercise is going to be an important element of this process, and definately a key to staying at our goal.

I plan to start a regimented exercise plan once some of the initial weight comes off, but, in the mean while, I am starting to challenge my old behaviors.

Instead of sitting in a chair and asking ... 'would you mind bringing me this or that', I'll get off my ...... and get it myself. Instead of parking close, parking farther away and walking (you saw this in a previous post).

Today, my challenge is to walk to the cafeteria for lunch. It's in another building and includes, dare I say it.. walking up hill for about 50 yards. My heart is going pitter-pat just thinking of it now. I may need a change of clothes when I get back to my cubicle, but.. there will be a payoff.

So, my point... let's try to challenge those old destructive behaviors and develop new healthy ones.
