QUOTE # 9 - HABITS - GOOD & BAD

"Habit is habit and not to be flung out of the window by any man, but coaxed downstairs a step at a time." Mark Twain Why are bad habits so hard to get rid of and good habits so hard to keep?  I would love to figure that one out.  Did not go to the gym yesterday - instead shoveled all the ice for about an hour - a good work out!  My gym partner went into work early today due to the weather so I am opting for my elliptical this morning and then back to shovel ice again today.  I'm OK with not doing the gym everyday as long as the days I don't go I'm doing some kind of exercise.  The gym is my back up for boredom and also my time to exercise around other people - As most of you know, I'm not a loner - I need to be around people.  Ended up with a major headache from going cold turkey off my Diet Ice Tea (which I am absolutely sure is what makes me crave sugar).  I know the headache will come but I also know it only lasts a day so yesterday was the day - today back to normal & no more sugar cravings - as I tell myself everyday - baby steps!
