2018 Healthy Habits Challenge!

[Metis]

This thread died 38 days ago. Would it be "unhealthy" of me to "necro" it?

As soon as I put away the rest of this chocolate babka, I'll do something healthy, like post a new health challenge.

I did it. I posted the new health challenge. Healthy Holiday Habits Challenge 2018

I'm on my way now to a newer, healthier me.

At present I am considering seriously what are healthy habits online, its not the first time I have found myself in this particular bind which indicates, I think, an unhealthy pattern.

So.

Still thinking about how best to act.

I'm still alive. Mission accomplished.

I checked my health chart at the doctors the other day and it seems I have lost 17 pounds since last December. I knew I'd lost some weight but didn't realize how much till I noticed I was fitting into sports jackets that haven't fit me for years. I have been trying to eat healthy - low carb, low fat, yogurt, fruits and vegetables, etc. I started working out again a few weeks ago and am getting in better shape. I'm just focused on having a more healthy lifestyle. If I do another 17 pounds, I'll be relatively comfortable with my weight. I was always a skinny person. Will be nice to get there again. It would be nice to do fun exercise - like tennis or something.

I have an all-or-nothing approach to much of life, and because of that, I've done horribly with my health this year. My new and much more realistic goal is to just do what I can, starting with the chiropractic exercises I've not been performing. I've been feeling cagey anyway but EXTREMELY lazy, and physical activity makes me feel better. Thinking it will help me sleep better too.

Something is better than nothing.

That sounds like a great plan! I research and write motivational/educational content for a health and fitness company. And the main takeaway is to take little steps consistently. Almost everyone fails at the "all or nothing" approach so you are definitely not alone.
