What habits are you trying to develop?
Here is a place to share your new habit goals and checkin daily to let us know how you are doing.
List the habits that you are working on (4 or 5 or ?) - and whether you met them or not. You can add/but don't have to more detail explaining your day.
Here is a sample daily checkin of a very very zealous loser - with many habits in development
Feb 1:
Calories: eat at or under 1500 goal 5 days/at maintenance 2 days. Yes. Under goal - 1400 calories
Exercise: 10,000 steps. Yes
Water: drink 96 oz. No - 72 oz
Protein: eat 100g. No - 81 g!
Mindfulness: eat only when hungry-no mindless snacking. Yes
Sleep: 8 hours. Yes
Eating Window: no eating after 8 p.m. No - had a snack at midnight.
Earned 4 points toward a weekly potential of 49 points.
At the end of the week - I'll post a chart tracking how we did.
** Special Request **
When you post your daily habit checkin - will you please write your total at the bottom? ie: 4 points out of 6 - or - all points
Today when I was pulling the table together I had to check and double check to make sure I wasn't miscounting. lol. I'd rather trust you to do your daily counts than mess them up myself!

I'm already kind of doing this on my newsfeed for a Countdown Challenge I'm doing, but suppose I can do it here to:
My countdown challenge is for the whole month some are averages across the month, some weekly targets, some daily, so I will stick with the daily goals only here, but this is what I am doing for the whole month:
8000 steps per day (Averaged across the whole month)
7 hours sleep per day (Daily minimum)
60 mins TV max per day (will carry unused time though as most of my current series are 45 min episodes)
5 min yoga or meditation per day (Daily minimum)
4 portions of protein per day (Protein portion for this = 20g, Daily minimum)
3 strength training sessions per week (Weeky goal for Strava Challenge)
250 cal deficit (Averaged across the whole month - daily goal is just to be in a deficit)
100% consistent and accurate logging (Daily) - log everything and check accuracy in terms of nutrition & portion size.

We get one point for every "met" goal each day. The total is how many we will accomplish in a week if we meet them all.
If someone only works out 4 days a week - that is cool - only 4 will be added to the potential total for that week.1 -

Or good habits that you want to do but aren't yet? A few of these I started just when I joined the other group a few weeks ago. They were pretty hit and miss for a few days - both "meeting" them and figuring out what it was that I really wanted to do - so I kept changing them as I figured it out
I figured I would start posting here now so we can all get ready for next week...and @tinkerbellang83 inspired me. I might just add a few or ??????2 -

I was thinking of this today while I was walking....and thought that you resisting the scale is certainly a worthy "habit" ! I'm not sure I could do that. Well I'm actually pretty certain I couldn't. lol1 -

Think you got the gist of it! We are going to check in every day though and tally it up at the end of each week. Hopefully it will give us a sense of accountability, and a reason to checkin every day!
We are officially starting this coming Monday....just practicing now. So glad you are joining us!2 -

I really think this is going to be fun. And inspiring. Not sure which one is more important...I'm leaning toward fun. lol.

I am aiming for 4 portions of Protein, I consider a portion of protein to be 20 grams. So yesterday I got 6.5 portions (130g) in. It's just the way I've done it for my Countdown Challenge, basically I am aiming for 80g minimum per day for now, but I'd used no 8 for my steps (8000).1 -

Thank you! I thought maybe something like that but wasn't sure and I always learn so much around here, so I didn't want to miss something
