    walking daily

    I really hate to exercise, but I do enjoy walking, hiking and biking. My husband had hip replacement surgery, so we walk about 4 to 5 miles a day now!

    -Small, incremental changes

    -Crowding out calorie-dense foods with low calorie, nutrient-dense foods, 70% of my plate is often raw vegetables

    -Focusing on how my body feels after I eat, and choosing foods and food quantities based on that feedback

    -Prioritizing nutrition and exercise as necessary self-care, not punishment for not being "good enough"

    I had a bilateral hip replacement in Feb 2019 and walking is the best thing for me. I struggle with 2 miles a day but I push through.

    I hope you get there with walking and that it becomes more comfortable for you. My husband was in good shape physically other than needing a new hip. His weight was perfect for him, and he had been very active until the hip slowed him down. Now he's an energizer bunny again. I am happy for him. I really hope for a long, good outcome for you with your two new hips!

    Eating the same thing every day. I was able to lose weight for 18 weeks in a row using that technique. Admittedly not many people can do that, but if you can, give it a try. I found it reduced the internal dialog on what I should or shouldn't be eating.

    Getting enough rest and recovery. You burn the most body fat at rest NOT working out.
