\nWith yesterday’s post on slipping into old habits with food, I decided I’d make myself a list of all the Good Habits I’ve formed. Staying positive about life’s challenges is something that I’m working on (sometimes daily).<\/p>\n

1. Always striving for new challenges<\/em>, new ways to push my limits, new recipes to try to stay healthy. I hate being bored, or boring.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n2. Staying dedicated <\/em>and consistent <\/em>with my exercise. Choosing things I enjoy doing help a lot. I’m excited about the weather improving in Portland so Michael and I can start training for the Portland Century bike ride this summer.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n3. Not denying myself treats completely, but instead eating them in moderation <\/strong>sometimes, not all the time. I’ve talked about this being a slippery slope before, but I firmly believe that doing all things in moderation is the key to a healthy life.<\/p>\n

4. Never skip meals. Ever. Even if I’m not all that hungry for a big dinner, sometimes just eating a salad is the perfect thing.<\/p>\n

5. Eating fruit as a snack.<\/p>\n

6. Eating a vegetable and\/or salad with dinner. There is no such thing as “too many veggies” in my book. I’m trying to be creative in sneaking in extra servings of veggies.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n7. Cooking healthier, low-calorie dinners with Michael using whole foods instead of packaged and processed foods. This was the biggest change that Michael and I have made together and we both saw immediate results. I felt healthier and I was fuller than when I ate “junk” food.<\/p>\n

8. Learning how to lift weights properly and doing it on a regular basis. Boy do I wish I formed this habit sooner in my weight loss journey!<\/p>\n

9. Walking places when I can. Parking far away from stores to get in some extra walking time. Walking across the bridge to work almost every day (almost 2 miles).<\/p>\n

10. Taking my vitamins every day.<\/p>\n

11. When I’m feeling like my depression might be returning I reach out to friends, exercise, do positive things to prevent myself from slipping into that funk.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Something I could improve on:<\/em> Drinking more water<\/span>! Every day! I am trying really hard to get better about this.<\/p>\n

QUESTION: What are some good habits that you have?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
