Hi everyone, I recently quit smoking (8 weeks free now!) and wanted to apply something that helped me in that forum here. We used to play this game, instead of, where everyday you would post something you did instead of smoking. Now my biggest challenge to getting my fitness where I want it is unregulated and unhealthy snacking. So today instead of a cookie I ate an apple. Let me know what you're replacing your bad habits with! Doesn't have to be other foods, you could go for a walk, meditate or even just post here.
Looking forward to hearing how the community is bettering itself!

My bad habit is trying to change too much.
Today instead of packing something too healthy tasting and setting myself up to buy large fries at work, I am bringing ramen noodles and a piece of fruit.0 -
Instead of having chips with my burger (which I usually do as default, not because I particularly want them, and this week I've already eaten them about 4 times!), I had salad instead, and it didn't diminish my enjoyment one bit.0

Instead of a massive bowl of breakfast cereal and milk with a bit of fruit on top... I had oatmeal and apple for breakfast - in the correct portions.0

Instead of sitting at my desk for a break I went to the weight room instead and did shoulders.0

I quit drinking pop all together December 31st and have replaced it with water! I stopped bringing cash to work so I won't be able to go to the vending machines. So far in the last 2 weeks haven't craved any sugary drinks at all and lost an inch on the waist line!0

Instead of eating snacks for lunch and dinner, today I will make a balanced meal.0

I'll have spaghetti squash instead of pasta for lunch.
But let's be fair, I'm still eating all the good stuff when I really want it.
I did get a 820 calorie pasta dish yesterday instead of the tempting 1750 calorie deep dish pizza though.0 -
Today instead of taking a cab to work I walked the mile myself0
