The Game
This will tie in nicely with my New Year's Resolutions. Basically it's designed to improve eating habits and encourage water consumption, getting adequate sleep and adding/subtracting a positive or negative habit. It seems like there is a lot of math involved fortunately I have some extremely intelligent people on my team. I have two residual vices from my younger days, I consume a great deal of soda pop and use nicotine products, for almost 20 years these two have been hand in hand so I'm trying for a double elimination.
The Joust game officially started on Monday Jan. 11th, however I got a head start and stopped consuming soda pop and chewing tobacco on Saturday the 9th. My feeling has always been with as much exercise as I di if I could just eliminate the soda pop I would lose a great deal of the excess weight. For me these two habits are so intertwined have a soda grab a dip and vice versa, quitting one or the other has never been successful. There have been times I've stopped both for a several days and was so overcome with joy I would celebrate with a can of chew and a big soda--what a reward.
Approaching the end of day 2 of the game and day 4 of being free from chew and soda--so far so good, I even experienced a stressful situation that would trigger my desire to imbibe and was able to stave it off. As they say, one day at a time.
