Moderation in ALL Things
Week four in my quest for self improvement brings the most difficult goal so far. But first, let me recap last weeks "Love Thy Neighbor". I did take time to visit with one of my neighbors out by the mailbox. I also baked bread and had Bob deliver it to 2 neighbors. I still have plenty of room for improvement in this area. So this brings me to this weeks goal "Moderation". The book recommended taking a food that you have a hard time with and giving it up for a week. Well.....that's NOT what I'm doing. I am taking a different approach. We can all benefit for learning to take things in moderation in many aspects of our life. Yes food is a major area that I need to practice moderating. However, what about spending money in moderation or watching TV in moderation. This week I have chosen to try and take all things in moderation. I will turn the TV off more and opt for the radio. I will also work on my eating in moderation however, polishings off the bag of Lays potato chips at 11:00 pm last night probably was not a good start to my week. I will let you know how it works out. If anyone else is trying this approach to New Year's goal setting, I would love to hear how you are doing.

Jason and I started a rule where we don't eat past 10. This helped us with out late snacking a ton. I'm also trying to keep a bag of veggies cut and ready to eat, because if it isn't ready when I want to eat it than I will not take the time to prep them when I am hungry. I have also tried to curb the internet usage.
ReplyDeleteWith all the junk food and desserts we ate around the holidays (and long after!), I was really feeling "blah," so I started cutting back by not eating anything sweet until after dinner. I did that for a couple weeks, and now I've moved onto only eating sweets after dinner, and on only three days a week. I'm hoping to ultimately progress to only eating dessert one night a week. It was hard at first, but I've found that my sweets cravings have really diminished. :) Moderation is a good rule for anything.
