Update time: 4 weeks are done. I don't know where the time has gone. Only 5 months left until my arbitrary goal date for wellness. I have continued to eat well plus, more importantly, exercise including 3x/week jogging. It hasn't showed up much on the scale (yet), but weight is just a number. Am hopeful that as I am able to jog longer weekly distances, the calorie burn will increase, and/or if I increase muscle mass.
I did some research. Google says it takes 3-4 weeks to form a habit. A research study at University College London showed it takes 66 days to create automaticity of a habit. I am close to halfway to forming automaticity. I would like to be hooked on exercise.
I am counting on the following quotes to be true:
"Good habits, once established are just as hard to break as bad habits." Robert Puller
"First we make our habits, then our habits make us." Charles C Noble
"Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going." Jim Rohn
"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit." Aristotle
(If you are giving veganism a try, use ground raw cashews as a substitute for parmesan cheese. We like it.)
Looking together in the same direction.
