I've never seen this equation before nor does it resonate with me to be honest. The primary habit I was trying to create was daily exercise. I have been quite successful for the last few months to the point it's not even an issue. I just do it. I think lack of motivation is tiredness more often than not for me.6 -

Exercise - ✅ 18,500 steps 🥳 Walked for 2+ hours with our puppy Beauregard. Tomorrow morning he goes in for surgery to be neutered.
Calories - ✅ under
Tracked - ✅ yes!
Tomorrow (Wednesday October 20) is my every four week weigh in day at the doctor’s with the nutritionist. Why do I get so stressed out about this? I know that I have done well for the past four weeks by keeping accountable, committed, and focused.
My awareness of being on the slippery slope at 🇨🇦 Thanksgiving made me realize how much better I am at listening to the signals my body is sending. And, I was able to stop myself quickly. The after cravings lasted longer than I could ever have imagined — and I rode that wave out too.
So, I will be proud of my tenacity and the new awareness and skills I am developing — regardless of the result on the scale.

Exercise - 15 minute MommaStrong and walking for work, including some real walking through the woods (not on a trail, just over land) which I had not done in a long time and definitely was good exercise. Hard to track that kind of thing, but I estimated and I think underestimated but it still gave me some extra calories
Tracking - Planned, adjusted the plan to add in some cheese with dinner and a better cookie for my bedtime treat with those extra calories
Calories - Still under by 50, but again who knows if the estimate was good.
@StayFITTer that's an interesting daily subject. The graph is a lot to process early in the morning but I think I get it. I am going to think about that when trying to create habits. I don't think I have before. Like you, I tend to do a pairing of a habit with an existing habit - ideally a fun one. I think currently my weight loss related habits are:
1. pre-planning and pre-tracking the next day's food right after I do the kid bedtime routine before I relax with my daily treat/bedtime snack. It's sort of a simple reward but also makes the whole thing feel like time to care of myself, in different ways. Also there is really no guilt for the bedtime snack because I have double checked the calories before I eat it, so there is also less temptation to feel like "well I'm already eating junk let's just keep going."
2. my early morning routine is: get up, put on workout clothes, make a decaf matcha almond milk latte, sit and drink it while checking this UAC board. When I finish my latte, post my stuff. Then get up and do my MommaStrong workout. By the time I am finishing that up, other family members come down and the daily chaos begins. Again, the whole thing feels like time for me and my goals in a way that is nourishing rather than punishing (and the sweet warm drink helps make it feel like that).
But I always struggle in these things with what is a routine and what is a habit? I think I do much better with routines than with habits. For example, I was supposed to do PT exercises many times a day for 5 minutes - the PT kept telling me to make it a habit. All I could manage was incorporating it into the morning and bedtime routine for ~10 minutes each time. I never could fit it in as a "habit" in the middle of doing other things. Maybe if I study that graph some more...4 -

@DebyS137 nice work good step numbers 👻
@Caroline_slowandsteady sounds like you have a good routine or habit, often I think they are interchangeable there’s much to manage in a home with younger children,the morning beverage routine there’s that word again, is one I still follow today.
@jamcnewman nice work and insight over your holiday these events always test my skills to be cautious with food choices stay the course and prepare for upcoming December eating!!

Daily Water Goal
Use fewer pass days in October than I did in September
Fine-tune meals to get within calorie range
Get back on my treadmill
I have spent too much time already online, and need to get on my to-do list. I like today's topic and I just recently found a motivation youtube video talking about discipline vs motivation. My motivation will fade over time (hello roller coaster yo-yo diets) but if I develop the routine and discipline I will be more successful.
I have to go attack today's to-do list now. Still trying to figure out the right combination for pasta salad for lunch and trying to get water habit back in full swing!
Oh, Tuesday is a pass day. Lunch and Supper killed the calorie range. But my pass days for October are only 10 so far, and September was 21 pass days, so I am making improvements!6 -
I do like the graph -I just need to think about it more.

@StayFITTer
Thank you for a great opening
And ty everyone for your thoughts
I ended up Googling “BF Fogg Difference between habits & routines” & up popped a great (and kinda funny” video by him.
Even though I’ve been making habits and using them successfully for multiple years now I still learn a lot from this video.
I think I’m going to create a weekly routine list like his with sticky notes based on what he shows in the video. You might want to check it out.
