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
This is a great thing to remember on those days when I am ranting about measuring and keeping track of everything I put in my mouth. Also for those days when I can't seem to put one foot in front of the other. I need to find more great places to hike around here. I live in a valley so it's pretty flat for hiking! Biking is more appropriate I suppose, but it never seems to give me the work out I need.
Anyone have a spouse that is set in their ways? My husband is so into routine, it's hard to get him to deviate. For instance our weekends go like this:
Friday: he visits his 86 year old mom after work, gets home a bit late, has to have his 2 or 3 cocktails. I have to nag to make sure dinner gets on my 7 PM. We are usually late.
Saturday: Get up read the paper, have breakfast, go for a bike ride. We usually ride on his schedule (he'd just as soon not go). Then he works in the yard and garage until after 2 or 3 PM. Whatever sports are on TV, we watch. Before I changed my ways, we would have a martini before lunch. He still does occasionally.
Sunday: Sports du-jour. Football season brings all day viewing. If our team plays in the morning we don't bike ride at all.
I guess I need to walk him down the stairs gently.
