Water.

I drink water - and lots of it. While I do drink some other beverages (e.g., coffee and tea), water comprises the bulk of my liquid intake.

I'd like to create a similar habit with moving, particularly walking, which is so easily accessible. I can't run due to old injuries, but I can walk. I kind of have a stop and go relationship with walking. I would like it to be something I "just do."

I would add that I had created a walking habit, but it got interrupted due to work requirements (lab time). I need to figure out a way to mitigate such interruptions.

I kinda remember they gave a pin or charm to folks after about 16 weeks on WW. Made sense. It often takes something involving a number of weeks of doing something to have it as a habit.
My healthiest habits have been the usual involving activity and eating sensible foods in proper portions. Certainly not perfect in the least but do it often enough to become a more normal habit for me. I certainly could drink more water. Amen to that.Many/ most of my meals are pretty much the same which drives my wife crazy. I certainly wasn't a walker much to my detriment but an interlude in the hospital in 2016 got me going. First just to the bathroom then around the nurse's station. Eventually 1/2 way around the block or 1/4 mile. Eventually up to wetlands so I increased gradually up to 1 mile 1.5 miles and then 2 miles. I ran into a guy whose kids went to grade school and high school with our kids and we started walking together and by chance increased our distance up to about 4.5 miles one step at a time.

Walking really helped balance my leg muscles out more from just cycling. I don't work so it is easier to walk a lot. Biking I have always done work or not. I need to do the gym more often for upper body weights. hard for me to do it in the spring/summer months.

Regular physical activity - my daily gym habit got started in May 2001 has endured through many challenges in my life.

Tracking, weighing & measuring food, facing the scale every morning (but watching trends with Happy Scale), cooking in bulk on weekends

Change - being more regular at reviewing my daily todo list. I get overwhelmed at times and ignore it which never has a positive outcome. Need to prioritize things better.

Lately I’ve been thinking about, and working on, re-building healthy habits. What were the healthy habits that helped you on your journey? What habits do you still wish you could change?

Probably the healthiest habit I developed for weight management was portion control. I got myself into WW because I mindlessly ate (and drank)--a lot! Mindfully eating less, assisted by tracking, was really a key behavioral change that helped me lose 80 pounds. In fact, I attribute the majority of my weight loss success to that difference alone. Just to make the distinction, I marvel at the fact that I still ate all the foods I ate before WW, just in lesser amounts.

The one habit I "wish I could change"--is the almost instantaneous reach for food in times of stress. Now that I've become more aware of it, I'm puzzled by it at time. It's like an auto-response. For the most part, I have learned to temper it by making healthier choices than I used to when I'm in that mode. However, losing the stress response entirely would give me a little more edge to avoid temptation altogether.
