This January I Will...

Hi, I have failed miserably on my first two days of habit building. I got to sleep extremely late both days and the mornings didn't exist. When I did wake up, this morning, I did a couple of the things... tomorrow morning!!!5

So many inspiring and insightful posts. This January I am going back to basics. I’ll drink 8 glasses of water at least each day. I’m usually good at drinking lots, but lately I’ve been struggling to drink even three cups. I know I eat more when I’m thirsty, and that sets me up for overeating. I’m also going to try to drink warm water when it’s cold.
This January I will re-establish my healthy habits.
1. Finding something beautiful and something to be grateful for daily
2. Fasting at least 12 hours overnight (so no nighttime snacking).
3. Staying under 100 carbs and under calories
4. Daily yoga and meditation
5. Daily journaling and pleasure reading
6. DRINKING AT LEAST 8 glasses of water

My “January I Will”:
1. Keep doing all entrenched habits.🎆
2.,Weigh & track all raw almonds & walnuts to the gram PRIOR to eating one of them.⚖️
3. Keep sodium < 1,500mg daily Jan 1-31🧂
Rewards: 1. That invaluable feeling of being in control of my eating without stress or fear.
2. Likely a little more weight loss & eating more fruits/veg., Say “good for you! Tracking is power!”
3. Less cardiac risk, fist pump “You’ve got this!”
Jan 1: 🎆⚖️🧂 1,308mg ❤️
Jan 2: 🎆⚖️❌ 1,783mg avg is ok. Found the culprits. Will switch to lower sodium breads.
Focused on logging everything ✔️
Tomorrow I will continue that & focus on sodium.

I have a bathroom about 15-20 feet away from where I am most of the time. Really, on a whim, I decided to only use our upstairs MBR. I get a lot more steps & more “flights of stairs.”
Habits are so funny, I don’t even THINK of the closer bathroom anymore LOL
In fact, today I was talking with Hubby, and I realized HOW MANY of my/our habits are completely different than 6 years ago.
For Ex: there are whole categories of foods we don’t purchase or eat anymore: no crackers, no chips, no cookies, no ice cream…
We don’t eat out; we don’t get take out
No alcohol, no sodas, etc.
Because we did these gradually, they don’t seem like a big deal.
I stopped eating butter 2 weeks ago. Decided it was olive oil or avocado from now on.
Once I really CHoSE “health first” it became easy to make these changes - over years…
@MadisonMolly2017
I hear you! Our habits have changed dramatically over the years! I can remember when everything was fried and the portion sizes! My husband and I marvel at how we used to be able to polish off a large pizza, and now...well, we rarely eat pizza anymore, but a slice or 2 is all we really want. We spend a portion of our year at our friends cattle ranch helping out, and the walk in cooler is a pretty good distance from the main house. I make a couple trips a day getting stuff for meals and much prefer to walk that take a 4 wheeler, which is what most of the peeps do. Every little bit helps.4 -

Word for 2022: DIVERSIFY
For January, I will work on diversifying my intentional activity types. Other types of diversifying to follow later in the year.
January Tracked Habits:
Rep2tRhythm (on weekdays) 🏋️( or n if a weekend )
Balance practice (daily) ⚖
30 day Doodles (daily) 🖌 (nearly done; then will choose some other creative-habit) (routine timing and trigger tbd)
6000+ steps by bedtime (daily) 👟 (6000 is bare minimum to close ring; most days will be doing more)
For this week, I am playing with how to stack what I want to turn into my Regular Work-Day Routine (still on vacation - so "getting up when alarm rings" is still not yet at "regular time yet") - interweaving with well-established habits being some of my cue-triggers
Plan so far :- up when alarm wrings - or before (semi-established - was sometimes getting up before actual alarm previously)
- TURN ALARM OFF (hubby sleeps later) (semi-established; sometimes problematic when I got up early 🤷♀️ )
- weigh first thing on wii / tv (well-established for years - great prompt-point)
- Reps To The Rhythm youtube / tv (new - this week doing 12 min standing core for 5 days)
- Balance on wobble cushion & drink water while coffee brews (water new - needed it after R2tR 😅 )
- Update Tracker Spreadsheet (new )
- (rest of routine not settled yet - some of my ideas may turn out to be better settled later in the day)

I felt awkward mentioning it in another group, especially when Rick was working hard solo to recruit folks.
I did mention it once or twice in the main challenges strand.
But at this point, let’s make sure more people know!! UAC + BHH for the Win!

Wow - such a weird coincidence. I volunteer in the UAC goup for Content Creator. Last night I was working on January posts and I searched habits and found a great article from James Clear (whom I'd never heard of before). Tonight I proof read my post and tested the link out to the article and this 30 day email newsletter popped up so I signed up. Was bizarre to log on here now and see your post, lol.
Anyway, reporting in bc I feel good to have made my habit goals for 3 consecutive days. I had to ease myself into it by starting last week but am really pleased to have done 3 days in a row. Loving this group so far. Those 2 suggestions for planning the habit really helped. I am loving checking off my Habits App (never knew such a thing existed). I am a huge list maker so checking items off my list is so satisfying lol.4 -
January Habits
I learned so much in December and posted those learnings on that thread. I took on too much. 😳 I could see real patterns in when and how I get off track. This helped me realize what I’d like to focus on for this month.
I will do the following and track each in my lovely new paper spiral bound tracker:
1. Continue to keep the iPhone out of the bed every night. Sleep is critically important to my immune function and physical recovery each night. I have set up an alarm on my phone that will remind me to plug it into the charger down the hall and leave it there each night. My husband will happily remind me too 😂
2. Drink two glasses of water (total 16oz) upon rising each morning. 💦💦💦
3. Walk 10,000+ steps every day between January 1-12. 👟👟 The time has come for me to stop messing about, use my treadmill, and continue to get steps outside when I can. I have no trouble getting this in during spring, summer, or fall and it is time for my excuses to end. I have the equipment and a beautiful space for it indoors. I can do this for 9 more days (3 successful days are complete). I will re-evaluate on the 12th and adjust if needed.

@Jana_2020, that is a funny coincidence! James Clear is a leading authority on habits and his book, Atomic Habits, is terrific. I gave a powerpoint presentation to our graduate students (all scientists and engineers) on how habits work last January and gave out copies of his book. One of the students shared with me months later that he used the habits info in my talk and in Atomic Habits to stop smoking. Hasn’t smoked in months! That just made my day!
You can’t go wrong with James Clear.
I am just thrilled to see all the UAC group members here and the crossover effects. Welcome everyone! Thank you @MadisonMolly2017 for making those connections!7 -
@jamcnewman, realizing you’ve taken on too much and need to scale back is a great observation! Habit building is all trial and error and figuring out what works for us. Banishing your phone at night and starting the morning with some water are two great small habits. Getting 10K steps in requires more effort, but it’s a great goal and I also have it as my daily target. It is a trickier goal for me to meet in the wintertime since I don’t want to walk outdoors on snow and ice. Because I enjoy reading and I have a personal rule that I only read while walking slowly on my treadmill, I can generally get to 10K with a few chapters each day. I’m currently reading a book on how music impacts our brains. Fascinating. BitGym is also a great tool for making cardio machines more enjoyable.
But lately, The biggest competitor to getting my daily steps in has come from immersing myself in the amazing world of fitness virtual reality. I had long recognized I wasn’t giving my arms enough workout and now that’s not a problem! I’m using Beat Saber and Supernatural and they are insanely fun and, for me, a moderate to high intensity workout. Not for everyone, but it’s a good fit for me.5 -

I also signed up. He has a whole section of articles about "habit of showing up and doing something creative => Don't judge / just DO and expect dross at the start." Once the 30-day general one is behind me, I will start looking more closely at this grouping ...2

Thanks @themedalist 🥰 I love to walk and at a good pace so as to get a decent cardio workout. Can’t run (ankle fusion); can’t get into city facilities to walk indoors, swim, or water jog (Covid, now Omicron). Biggest issue right now with my autoimmune is my lungs and keeping cardio as high as I can (safely) is part of the prescription. So off I go. 👟👟 I watch YouTube videos on the big screen and have really been enjoying walking in Hawaii for about the past month. I listen to audiobooks while I walk (and sometimes just listen to the waves and bird sounds). I tried BitGym (free app access) on my iPad on the treadmill but it just didn’t do it for me. I prefer seeing the sunshine, water, and waves on the big screen.
In the summer, I have no trouble surpassing 10,000 every day. I was SO close to keeping my 10,000 step goal this winter and some days just felt 😑 about doing it. This is the push I need to establish it as a winter habit. So far this January, I have surpassed it every day.
I am breaking this goal down into what would be best called habits (and am looking forward to the course, which I’ve signed up for). One habit is to put my socks on (ready for sneakers) first thing upon getting out of bed. Another is to do 1000 steps right after I eat my breakfast. I will get better at describing and documenting this. I tend to want to just “do it”….. 🤪
I have hand weights and my resistance bands and see an exercise physiologist once a month who assigns a routine, which I follow. Building and keeping muscle mass is key — especially for women and as we age. So ✅ in agreement with you in a focus on that.
Thank you for the commitment you and @MadisonMolly2017 make every month to support all of us on here. I have found it so valuable, have shared that, and am so glad to see more of our UAC peeps here now!
Have a lovely day today!

Thank you. I think I know what I will replace it with for my "creative habit" thing .... another doesn't-take-long daily "aim for doodle-style" thing that might even be my focus for the “30 Days to Better Habits” email course.2

I felt awkward mentioning it in another group, especially when Rick was working hard solo to recruit folks.
I did mention it once or twice in the main challenges strand.
But at this point, let’s make sure more people know!! UAC + BHH for the Win!
Hugs,
Maddie

I am really enjoying reading your updates!
I wanted to let you all know that James Clear is offering a free “30 Days to Better Habits” email course right now. I’ve taken quite a few online workshops from James including his habits academy and he is very knowledgeable about habits, an excellent teacher, and he’s very genuine. The course includes 1 email lesson about every 3 days.
Might be a great complement to the habit building we are doing here! For more information or to sign up, see:
