What's the healthy habit you're working on building?

Trying to make this weightloss journey sustainable by using healthy habits to get to the end goal. All the little habits add up to the total.
Some of the healthy habits I've been working on is going out for a walk every day. Another one is eating more protein.
Currently I'm working on my water intake and trying to do a quick yoga routine each day.
I was wondering what healthy habits everyone else is focused on making.
(I've noticed a lot of scale focused threads lately and yes the scale is a great tool, the end goal is being healthier which is a lot broader than only the scale. That's why I made this post & I'm hoping to learn from your habits on the road to success and possibly implement them into my routine)

    I am just trying to keep my calories in check and not eat out of habit. I have my smart scale now and I am logging, trying to stay at a deficit.

    Moving every day and meal planning every week! My husband and I were doing really well at those things a few years ago, but we got off track and now we don't feel anywhere close to our best selves. There is a lot of superficial thinking - of COURSE I want to look "better" - but I'm also trying to replace that with a more body-neutral internal monologue and a focus on what I want to do better.

    Trying to eat more fibre - reaching for an apple instead of a hobnob biscuit etc.

    A couple goals for me. I've been eating poorly on weekends and when I eat out. I do pretty good during the week and have managed to loose 20 lbs prior to MFP, but when I go out I don't feel like a salad all the time. On weekends, I eat to much unhealthy foods. I'm a T2 diabetic that is not on insulin, and I'm changing my ways slow but sure. Having a bone surgery later this year, so my focus this year is achieving an exceptional A1C.

    I'm working on being more active throughout the day - like getting up for 15 min walks outside for some fresh air, taking 10 min to stretch, etc. Although I workout 5-6 days a week pretty moderately, I also work a desk job so a great deal of the time I'm sitting. I want to increase my NEAT activities. I'm also working to change certain aspects of my eating (snacking) habits. I am so wired to eat very specific types of foods as snacks and at certain times of the time. I don't even think I'm truly hungry when I snack. It's just a very hard habit to break/change and that is what I aim to do. Just want to eat more intuitively and listen to my body when it's hungry and not just bored.

    I am going to get away from my evening wine, totally detoxing for the month of February. Too many empty calories that cancels out all of the calories I'm burning from exercise.

    Oh my gosh, you just said what I was thinking about the weekends in this discussion. I do fine on my weekday work structure, but the weekend can pose a free for all at times!
