Days 1 - 21...
...are about momentum. I re-read some great information on that today.
More on that in a second.
First...
Workout today was very good. Worked my abs super hard. 
The choices of food was good, the amount of food not so much. I'm just not that hungry. 
Ds and I didn't go on our date this morning. His stomach was hurting him pretty bad. 
He actually stayed home from school today. Thank heavens he is feeling better this evening. 
We took a rain-check on the date.
Dh is home safely. He went to do some briefings at the big 5 sided building in DC. (jeal...I mean happy for him) He has the coolest job. I'm glad he got home safely because we got in an arguement over the phone as he was sitting on the plane getting ready to take off. After I hung up on him I knew he would have to turn off his phone and I couldn't call back to say I was sorry. All I could think about was "what if something happens to his flight? That was a stupid thing to do no matter how mad I was at him! That was foolish of me." 
Thank heavens he is home safe, although I'm still a little mad at him. 
Now, on the days 1 - 21...
Another blogger and I were talking the other day about how it takes 21 days to form a habit, and like 21 seconds to break one. LOL! How true.
I've lost some good habits, and I'm using this time to gain some consistency back in my other habits that are essential to my wellness plan. Working out consistently is not a problem for me. Working out first thing in the morning (which I absolutely LOVE) has become VERY inconsistant. Eating healthy is something I enjoy, but planning my meals and sticking to the plan has become VERY inconsistant. I love it when I prepare things and stick to the plan. It just FEELS good. (then why do I stop? Hmmm... answer that and the problem is solved) 
This 21 day period is considered STAGE ONE in a 12 week time-frame:
"This stage is about momentum - aligning the numerous forces and factor in your favor. Think of your ascent as if it were a rocket taking off. It's the initial thousand feet that require the largest percentage of boost and fuel for your breaking out of the grips of gravity. Similarly, these few weeks will be both challenging and absolutely critical to reaching your full stride. this is a time to align your practice, creating your thythm and rituals of training and nutrition. At time you may "not be feeling it," you might focus on the wrong things and even experience doubt. This stage can feel like more work than the following stages. Take it ONE day at a time , for 21 days in a row."
I have seen that others are doing a 21 day challenge here on EP. I'm not part of that, but please know I am wishing you all the best as you work toward your goal. I know I'm taking it one day at a time to gain some momentum.
