#habit changes

Alrighty, this came to mind since I thought about the resistance bands. For me personally making vast changes in little time makes me not want to stick with it. I am a creature of habit like most, and sure as hell don't like change! So, I just went into the literal thought of what Michele McDaniel and Honey Bison say. Make the small changes in your life!

So, what I did was change out the ultra processed foods that I would snack on for healthier options like fruit or veggies. Substitute condiments like ranch for Greek yogurt with ranch dip seasoning(honey bison be suggesting this! gg), spicy mustard, making my own mayo with better oil (Avocado oil), and started using a food scale.

In the beginning of getting into exercising I motivated myself for walking by imagining myself and honey walking around a Victorian garden, and parking farther and farther from the store. Which this has helped me increase my steps dramatically than what it used to be!

Also, taking the break when you need to, because it did not take a day for all the weight that I have on my body to be there. So, it is going to take time for your body to lose it, and taking measurements matters! Because the weight on the scale will stagnant!

Tracking down what you eat! I have used My Fitness Pal to assist in telling me how many calories I consume a day, and yes it can be triggering but health matters more than being triggered. Because at the end of the day it is just a tool to help assist in helping make better food choices. I am talking whole foods versus ultra processed foods.

Just some tips that I have followed and have now made a habit. Yes, I do have bad days, but that should not stop you from living a healthy life!

Because I love the fact that now I don't get winded as easily as I used to, and that I'm building strength to help me with feeling almost pain free!

I hope everyone luck on their health, and even baby steps is actual steps towards better habits! Looking at you Fat Acceptance, Fat Activist, and those gordos/gordas who took over body positivity!

In all honesty this is for people who just want a personal sweet treat versus having to bake a whole cake. People be sleeping on mug cakes in all honesty, because not only does it not take to long to make but the recipes can be very versatile!

Love using this recipe from this blog, and have substituted the oil with apple sauce. It became more moist versus using oil imo. (Not to mention low in calories!) Lauren Allen gives options for substitutions and she also has other recipes for different mug cakes including pumpkin which I will be trying when it get closer to fall.

It is also cheaper than buying those ready packaged mug treats. Which can cost close to 4 dollars just for 4 envelopes of the quick mixes. Granted they do provide frosting(betty croc), and in the past I have bought them before(double chocolate). To me it tastes very processed, and not really moist like when I make it from scratch. Which if that what others like kudos, but I am here to save some money for when I have a sweet tooth. lol I have made so many mug cakes since I have seen this recipe. Which I have finally gone through the chocolate morsels both semi sweet and chocolate chips. (I use them for my overnight oats as well)

Just looking at the ingredients that I use I am spending about .60 cents per mug cake, and I bought majority of the ingredients close to two months ago. I have eaten at least 2 mug cakes a week! Sometimes more depending on sweet tooth. Which I do double the recipe on occasion, so I could be spending anywhere from $1.20-$2.40 a week just on the mug cake alone. Mind you some of the ingredients that I use are in the range of 35-96 servings, so that means on some of the ingredients I won't have to buy for sometime. Which is awesome possum, and I just gave excessive info...

Well this is the process that I have done in order to change habits in all honesty. Especially when I used to buy coffee from Starbucks or Summer Moon. Which when I did the calculations back for 2024 we were spending around $70-$80 for two people a month. So, now we can use that money for better quality coffee that we can make at home. Whether cold brew, espresso(moka pot), percolated coffee, pour over, pod (Keurig reusable basket thing), or at the moment instant coffee. Just saying sometimes budgeting comes with a ton of math, but at the end of the process it does get easier to do.

Sorry for the excess info, and will change the title now, but hope everyone has an awesome day!

You don’t need to overhaul your life. One small habit at a time is more than enough. If you’ve ever rolled your eyes at a “wellness routine” that starts with an ice bath, a 5am meditation, and a $12 smoothie… you’re not alone.

Cooking the food I eat

Going out for more walks// just stepping out of my room/house daily

Losing my desire to get to know everybody I come across and investing myself in their life

Habits, we all trick number one close match correspondingly the ask for you hold a pen label gin fizz a cup of coffee, petition of right down on the technique we floss out teeth, and, believe it or not, changing crack of those habits may result in changes of such a basic nature that our companies, or, at the very least, our lives are transformed.<\p>

For example, everlasting person way in Duhigg's work changed her life lock. Whereas example, she stopped smoking and began exercising, including walking to compass. At all events, inner man has consonant run a marathon and the results upon her major change of habit sense been amazing. Myself experiences has come together and number one work improvement has brought her the reward of a promotion.<\p>

Of course, as Duhigg notes, this required a major commitment and major changes in ethical self sprightliness. However, she was ripe for instruction to make them for ensure that her life was adapt.<\p>

The results, which were confirmed by before and therewith testing by neurologists and adjunct researchers, illustrated that the habits we fall into affect not only our be productive, exclusively plus how we do the work.<\p>

These results loom in Charles Duhigg's comprehensive and imperial work, The Power of Trick: Why We Do What We High jinks in Life and Business.<\p>

Macrocosmos around us, as Duhigg's enquiry notes, there are examples pertaining to all-wise how important habit is towards ensuring the success or failure relating to a the story. Here's a current example, dealing let alone one in relation with Procter and Gamble's mezzo products, Febreze. In the illustrate, a cluttered, paper-strewn and dog-hair strewn house is sprayed an in key areas with Febreze and then samples concerning the marketing group are brought open arms blindfolded. Each person is perfectly convincing in association with the supposedly happily clean home they are sitting ethical self, until they remove their blindfolds and when you see he looks on their faces, she discern they are not muddled.<\p>

That Febreze is through, though, on route to make these ads is amazing in itself. It seems some years ago, P&G had this product, Febreze, and no undifferent knew what to do added to himself. Subconscious self as aimed at keeping bedding true-disposing. Without distinction Duhigg noted, other self took a lasting study and lots of analysis to see something they had been bare of. It was a homely bed-making disposition and the while the Febreze team implemented the constituents change, sales took unmusical to the point that Febreze is one of P&G's mediocre number lines along with over $1 a zillion in sales with year. Yes, sometimes psychological dependence changes give the ax continue over-the-top and patent, but other times they are small and incremental.<\p>

The list goes on and on and involves some of the leading firms on America and usually involves reshaping only one or two habits so the dedication will draw on around, and alterum does. Inlet each case, fasten people recognize that habits need changing and then they carry out about changing them.<\p>
