Another brick in the wall

So I'm glad I haven't tried to have a news years resolution to eat well because I would have totally bombed it.

I keep building up my habits, and now I've decided the frequency I'll try to adopt new habits. It might be a bit aggressive but I'm going to try it. I'll pick one or two things a week, on Mondays, to try to incorporate.

I'm well on my way to standing (standing right now!) at work and bussing is going good. I haven't tested bussing with Judo yet, but that's OK. This week I'm going to try to eliminate all caloric drinks (non diet sodas, orange juice, milk, etc) and see if I can make that stick. Tea, water and diet soda for me. Now, diet soda is bad too, but I can't win going whole-hog so baby steps. Later on I'll try to eliminate diet soda as well.

My second new habit I'm trying to implement is the 100-pushups program at hundredpushups.com Basically, I'll do their regimen three times a week to try to move me to 100 pushups. At my judo height I could do about 50, but now I sadly struggled to do 10. This will be embarrassing as Judo restarts tonight.

So this week: Push ups and no caloric drinks. Another two habit legos to stick in my new me. If I choose 2 a week and can make them all stick, by 2014 I'll have 104 habits that are "things I do" that build me towards my goals instead of moving me away from them. Think of the power of all those small chagnes compounding over time!

Exciting.
