Happy Tuesday.
Day 70th of logging.
Q. What does this mean?
A. I have a new habit.
Q. Is is a good habit
A. I think so.
Q. What makes is a good habit?
A. My prior habit of not logging foods gave me a way out via an excuse when I wasn't getting the results I wanted. Intentionally logging over these last 70 days, suggested by other warriors and my open mindedness to taking action, lead to the creation of a food logging habit.
The Habit Loop is a neurological loop that governs any habit. The habit loop consists of three elements: a cue, a routine, and a reward. Understanding these elements can help in understanding how to change bad habits or form good ones.
Q. What is my next habit I would like to create and why?
A. I want to create the habit of moving my body more. I am inconsistent exerciser. For example, my last run was 17 days back. I would like to run 2 times and lift 2 times each week and need to make this a habit. To help with the creation of adding more routine exercises to my physical activities, I joined the 10 week, MOVE IT TO MOVE ON, challenge created by amandakane1. This is Week 1 of 10 and I should be able to incorporate moving my body more as a habit just as I was able to create of habit of logging.(coincidentally, this is week 10 of the food logging habit)
Q. Are there other habits I want to create?
A. Yes. Finishing what I started. 199 here I come!!!!!!!!!!
Onwards!!

Brother... I was contemplating interrupting you, as you were (obviously) "talking to yourself" (LOL) - you WILL set those goals, and you WILL succeed!

Any tips on following through with the habit - specifically the food logging one? I"m inconsistent in the sense that I log for the early part of the day, but then taper off in the late afternoon and evening. Thoughts? Suggestions? I know that the only way to move forward is with proper information, but I just can't seem to keep up with my intention in the evening hours. Thanks for any input.

I pair my entries. Come home from gym, grab breakfast, login while I eat. Its only bad if I don't go to the gym.

Great introspection, Ches! And great plan. You know the old saying, "Those who fail to plan, plan to fail."

@rmabarrera, I want solid, quantifiable results. I don't want to get there by accident. I want to live my life by design, not by default. Three people stopped me today to compliment me on how I look. It is an amazing and powerful feeling. I no longer see the reflection of the big fat guy against buildings as I walk in the city. I am starting to see the young vibrant guy smiling, starring back at me. To all, come on, let's get it done!

That new habit Ches and the second goal habit you're working on are proven keystones (good habits) to long term maintenance. My two cents worth...almost anyone can lose weight by calorie restriction, but I think how you lose weight and why you lose make a huge difference in how successful it is for the long term.
