Having people around me was probably a big portion of staying on track, because I want to inspire them. But because I took it one baby step at a time, one habit at a time, that’s really what’s caused us to stick to this. I had a lifetime of bad habits that needed to be cleaned up, but if I had just overhauled my life in one fell swoop, it wouldn’t have stuck. What makes it most sustainable for us is that we don’t take every habit and overhaul our whole life. I think that if you make healthy motion more like a recess or play time, you’re more likely to engage in it. But if your desire is to take your health to a greater level, all you have to do is fine-tune those habits. I think that the key to healthy motion is you can ride along with healthy movement as long as you want and really create that functionality. We’re having recess and we’re playing, but we’re taking the time to carve out the body of our dreams and using the Habits of Healthy Fueling to build that body instead of just haphazardly hitting the gym and hoping that it all works out. In the last year, my husband and I have taken that habit of healthy motion to a next level and are really chasing after ultrahealth. We have a challenge to see who can do the most pushups, who can do the most sit-ups. What I love about Habits of Motion is it doesn’t have to look like a box gym. Taking one baby step at a time, one habit at a time really works Average weight loss on the Optimal Weight 5 & 1 Plan is 12 pounds. *In a clinical study, the group on the Optimal Weight 5 & 1 Plan ® lost 10x more weight than the self-directed group. I miss those cauliflower crust pizzas, and I know I could make those in the dorm.” So it’s fun that that’s still living on in my children. What we did was spent time together, and I think that was probably the key Habit of Health that has lived on in my children.įast forward, my son came home from college at Christmas time and was like, “Mom, I want a waffle iron. Food became more about the time we spent together than what we were actually creating to eat, because really, we’re just creating memories. Then we’d come home and gather and make the recipes and have fun together as a family. We’d go to the grocery store and pick out all kinds of different things that were in that recipe. It started off for me with just saying, “We’re going to take one meal a day and start there.” Each kid would get to pick a healthy recipe. If I just look at this one bad thing and how I can break it out, or if I can work on this habit, then it’s really going to change the dynamic and the trajectory of my family and that was really, really important to me. I really dove deep into the Habits of Health for myself, but honestly, it was more about my children. I lost 65 pounds* and felt pretty amazing. I had to have brain surgery and came out of that alive, which is very rare, and knew that I needed to do something different in my health. I was very, very sick and had two aneurysms. I came to the program about seven and a half years ago ![]()
