What’s one habit you do almost daily?:
Drink a bottle of water first thing.
What’s one of your normal routines?:
The first bottle of water leads to a second, along with coffee, then 2-3 minutes of flexibility work, followed by my workout, more stretching, more water, then breakfast with more water. This is all done before 7am.
How long did it take for the above routine to stick?:
Maybe a week...I’d been doing most of this stuff fairly consistently at other points, so adopting this stack was pretty easy.
When I first started getting up at 4am it took about six months to stick.
Describe your weight loss journey:
I tried pretty much every popular diet between 1996 (I was a teenager) & 2012. I got sick of following rigid programs and started building my own active lifestyle by taking the components I liked from what I had tried, along with other things centered around my preferences.
What’s a skill you developed as a result of working through your weight loss journey?:
Being consistent without being a perfectionist. I focus on what I can control in the moment while being patient for the long-term, trusting that the outcome will sort itself out.
What has that skill led to outside of weight loss?:
A sense of competence and control in many areas of life. Relationships, work, personal development are all areas where this has been helpful.
What have you learned about yourself over the last year or so?:
Surrounding yourself with realistically positive, hard working, patient people will help you exceed goals.
What advice would you give to someone working through their weight loss journey?:
Build a plan around your preferences so you’ll want to follow it for life. Then focus on your habits and routines instead of the speed at which the scale moves.
