And thank you to my partner-in-crime @themedalist who might have been the one to introduce it to me. 💦🌊💧🏝 This month, I invite you to dive into a fantastic visualization…

The Nuts and Bolts of Habit Building
How Habits Work
Hello Everyone! Since our group is focused on creating healthy habits, I thought it would be useful to pull together some of the information I've collected on habits over the last 5 years. Habits fascinate me and I've used every opportunity I can to deepen my understanding of them. I'm excited to share what I've learned…

This year, I will...
Focus as much on my diet as I do on my workout routine. I have realized that I cannot lift and exercise my way into the ideal body without a proper diet and a healthy relationship with food.
DASHING THROUGH DECEMBER — HEALTHY HABIT CHALLENGE
December can be a challenging month for building healthy habits. On the other hand we are nearing the finish line of this marathon of the year 2024. With holiday events and time commitments, let’s not take our eyes off the prize of better health! Let’s prioritize exercise (and sleep!) which often get squeezed out when…
This month I will....
Hi everyone, I am trying to get back on track with doing some form of daily exercise and I think for this month I am going to walk every morning as soon as I get up. Hoping that this will lead to me being more motivated.
This November: Small Steps for the Win!

A recent doctor's appointment underscored that point for me. I'm seeing a specialist and he was doing an initial assessment of where I am physically. He commented on…

A September to Remember
I want to pick up on the theme Kathy outlined for us in July: “What will I do in July and in the rest of 2024?” It is just as relevant a question in September as it was a couple of months ago. We attach way too much importance to waiting until January to start a new habit. The best time to start a new habit is right NOW.…

Hi, my name is Peggy. Lost 30 lbs with Noom in 2019. Gained 12 lbs back and trying on my own without a paid program. I need a habit overall!!
No Snowballs in August!
It all starts innocently enough. For me lately it’s been a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup. You join in your family’s nightly ritual of snacking while watching TV at night, despite a pledge to yourself that you’ll close your food diary and stop eating at 7pm. Or your schedule gets thrown for a loop one day causing you to skip…
