HEPABOLU

The 30 days of the habit tracking are over. I’m still not sure whether it was a success or a failure. The weight loss I aimed at didn’t happen. In fact I’m now 1kg heavier than I was before starting this habit.
I also noticed that I really miss sitting down in front of the TV [...]

It’s been a while since I last posted my statistics. With a few holidays running together here I suddenly had a whole week off. Time to relax and catch up on the backlog at home. Relaxing also meant that tracking my habit was forgotten. It had immediate effects: one day we started dinner after 20.30h. [...]

As the days passes and one success followed another I already thought this would end as a smooth ride. Today I realised even such a simple thing has it hard moments. Normally I would ‘celebrate’ the coming weekend by vegging out on the couch. TV on, bag of crisps at hand. Today the ‘natural’ urge [...]

It’s been a week since I last posted my habit statistics. I’ve been on a long weekend of origami folding and during the weekend I noticed how important tracking is to stick to your habit.
Until last Wednesday I was doing fine and not eating after 20.30h was becoming normal. I decided that I didn’t need [...]

Hooray! Three successes in a row. Just a short post now otherwise I lose motivation for the real important tasks I need to accomplish today.
Log:
Failure: 1
Partial success: 2
Success: 3
Days into the habit: 6
Total weight loss: 0.8 kg

I know it sounds premature, but with yesterday’s success I have more success than failures. I felt bad yesterday, no energy. Don’t know why but it’s one of those days that I would grab a bag of crisps and try to eat the misery away. Not that it would help. Yesterday I decided that instead [...]

A weekend without the kids is a good time to spend some quality time together as a couple. Ours was a simple date with dinner in a restaurant and a movie afterwards.
I was determined to get a success yesterday and the restaurant sure helped. The meal was gorgeous and I must have eaten a bit [...]

After the failure of last night I decided to reread, more thoroughly this time, the post at Zenhabits. This time I read the comments too, since they often give more information and/or put the post in perspective. I decided that it would be time to adjust my plan. Some elements described in the Zenhabits post [...]

Ok, so I failed yesterday. I guess I need to learn it the hard way. While getting the groceries I came across a new flavor of crisps. I’m a sucker for testing new things, so I had to buy it. My grown-up side told me that it would most probably result in breaking my own [...]

Sometimes I rate the validity of information by the number of times I come across it on my endless surfing quests. One habit at a time is such a nugget that I’ve read a few times now in the last week. It basically explains why my numerous attempts to impose new habits, or get rid [...]
