My Word For the Year is Diversify
I am diversifying my style of activity from "nothing but cardio" to include Functional Strength (flexibility will come later in the year)
I am diversifying my style of non-active hobbies to more than tablet-based, and including "abandoned" handwork projects. The beginner crewel work picture is the first. It was SUPPOSED to be a present for a very needle-crafty BFF.

I just saw this in James Clearโs newsletter and it seems so appropriate for our challenge this month! From the philosopher Epictetus:
โNow is the time to get serious about living your ideals. How long can you afford to put off who you really want to be? Your nobler self cannot wait any longer.
Put your principles into practice โ now. Stop the excuses and the procrastination. This is your life! You arenโt a child anymore. The sooner you set yourself to your spiritual program, the happier you will be. The longer you wait, the more youโll be vulnerable to mediocrity and feel filled with shame and regret, because you know you are capable of better.
From this instant on, vow to stop disappointing yourself. Separate yourself from the mob. Decide to be extraordinary and do what you need to do โ now."
@themedalist
I saw this, too!
Very powerful!! This is not new!
Thanks for VR info - no rush
Have a great week!

The UAC Big Three keystone habits (20+ mins intentional exercise / log / under calorie goal ) are solid
walking 7000 or more steps per day is rock solid, thanks to a rolling set of fitbit Weekday and Weekend challenges .... the PROBLEM is the after-work or after supper exergame time (the majority of my stepping done here) plus now that the weather is warmer evening walk-to-do-errands instead of driving is cutting into what was "craft-stitching time" even though I only set myself a small daily target amount.

I always find that making something routine helps with the self discipline a lot.
Like logging. Just take a minute to log food as soon as its finished and get into the habit of doing that. Easier to maintain. Get into a routine of doing exercise either as soon as you wake up or as soon as the kids are in bed or whenever works for you. If you're in a routine then you only need the self discipline when the routine gets disrupted
We had a topic about self-discipline (or whatever one's preferred word might be) on UAC the other day (thank you @Jana_2020 ! Lots of wisdom shared over that!) and the highlighted bit above is me right now.
I didn't even fill in my tracker spreadsheet for two days. Things have been hectic trying to nail down details for a required trip leaving in 5 weeks and gone for just over 2 weeks.
Maybe I added too many things to my "start an evening routine" for starters. Maybe I gotta rethink time possibilities between end-work and suppertime ....
Gotta go back and re-read the 30 Days to Setting Better Habits email set from the beginning again.
It's the DIVERSIFYing bit that I am getting pushback on from IGM .... plenty of cardio (supposed to be including functional strength too) and too-easy-default back to faux-crossstitch on the tablet (supposed to be trying for less tablet-based leisure&craft activities ... after spending all of a work day on-screen)1 -

@donna25trinity Same with my hubby.. but fortunately he goes right back to sleep. Iโve been doing well with my workouts thus far. I started going to the gym on Feb 6th. Prior to that I was just getting up and walking a mile before work and/or doing some aerobic workout in my living room. Now Iโm getting a mile walk in and cardio at the gym.. and I added in strength training starting yesterday.
Iโm slowly building up to being the โfitness fanatic โ I see myself as one day. LOL. I have the type of personality that wants to do more, work harder, and be the best. So if I can just keep working hard and get this weight off so I feel better, Iโm sure Iโll be able to achieve my goals.

This makes me so happy to hear, Maddie!
For me, the concept of identity based habits was very alien at first. If you wanted to create new habits, why not just focus on the new habit? But if your new habit isnโt aligned with how you see yourself and who you are, it probably wonโt have much staying power. Changing how we see ourselves and cementing that view with small daily actions opens the door to almost any change we want to make for ourselves. Itโs a very exciting concept!3 -
