I believe this to be true...
Years ago, I was taught that we cannot break free of bad habits by will power.
We can only break free of a bad habit by intentionally choosing to replace the bad habit with an alternative good habit.
Have you found that to be true in reaching your current goals?

Even choosing not to do something is doing something different so replacing the bad habits with a different action, even if it is a lack of action. It needs to be a conscious change of action.
I had an exhausted day again, really struggling to get energy levels back. Ate reasonably well and satisfied with the calories consumed. Did a rehab session and ran around after seals and their volunteer team today. I swear the people looking after the seals need more supervision that the actual animals.4 -

I also did more little jobs that I had let slide and rewarded myself with a trip to the cinema tonight.7 -

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes, barely, a 30 minute dog walk. I drove a friend to the doctor today, and between the doctor trip and my job, didn't have time for other exercise.

Well, yes. I've gotten into the routine of shopping and always having healthy meals with food I enjoy in the fridge. Food planning and prep has been essential for my weight loss. I hate cooking, have no interest in it, so I've compromised with very simple meals that are good enough for me.
Daily exercise is a balancing act. I have some serious personal interests that involve sitting a lot. I can't call that a bad habit. BUT I do waste time and can certainly find an hour or so to go for a walk or a run.

@Impala007 - Sorry about the loss of your faithful companion!
@Lizzie1229 - Hope you feel better soon.
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes, today's exercise was just shoveling snow off the steps, from the driveway, around the mailbox, etc. Great cardio!! lol !! We got hit with a foot of snow. Impala 007, how about you??

Exercice: 60 minutes at the gym + biking around the city yo run errands
Calories: I ate good today! Under my calories
Tracked: yes
So hard to change a habit for good...
I like think it’s about finding enjoyment in the alternative habit.
Although, even though I enjoy exercise and eating healthy definitely makes me feel 100000 times better, I still have a hard time not eating to much over the long term. The social aspect is what I find most difficult I think.
Listening in for tips of successful maintainers.
Hope you all have a wonderful day!2 -

I’m taking a pass! I don’t like excuses but I have a good one. I spent all evening taking tiny bites of foods that I have no idea of the names. I choose healthy foods and enjoyed lots of lemongrass tea! Yum.5

3 x’s yes. It was a very physical day- Pilates mat class and yoga this morning. Regular Tuesday night kickboxing hour followed by my first intro to spin class. I’ve tried spin a few times in boot camp classes and hated it but decided to give it a fair chance. Lol I kept telling my fellow gym mates that I was “saving it for Winter”. It snowed this morning...
Looking up- it would seem I’ve replaced habits that weren’t working for me (i.e. overeating, half a bottle of wine each night) with exercise and fitness.6 -
