30 days to a habit change - day 9
Tuesday, October 13, 2009 at 7:54AM Back on the wagon! The Ironbaby threw a kink in things, but that's better than fine. I had the time of my life!
If you missed the comment from the previous habit change post, here's an important link: http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2009/oct/10/change-your-life-habit-28-day-rule
The article states that the number of days to create a habit is not a hard and fast rule. It can take shorter or longer, depends on the task, and depends on the person. And you can skip days. Weird.
Now that the Ironbaby is over, I'm working on creating some great habits. These are mostly about setting aside the proper amount of time to get things done.
I can say for sure that the habit of eating truly healthy (a modified paleo diet) is 100% ingrained. I ate some junky food the few days following the Ironbaby, but it was hardly any and I found it gross.
My checking my tasks and updating my calendar habits haven't quite taken hold yet, but they are starting to gain traction. Constant improvement is the only goal.
That reminds me, I have always PR'd all four of my Ironmans. Not so difficult when you start at 17 hours. :)

Hey Brett, can you share some of the specifics of how/why you modified the paleo diet? Sounds like another Christine call maybe???
Thanks...
