Healthy Habit Non-negociables

Hi everyone,
I'm posting here as it covers lots of areas.
I was inspired this morning by a chat with some friends who get up and exercise at 5am every morning seemingly without fail. I never knew they did this!
I slept very badly as I'd had 4 drinks last night and thought to myself that perhaps as I approach 40 I should have a blanket ban on drinking, or no more than 2 etc.
It got me thinking, have you got any rules or habits that you do without fail? Could I learn from you?
Do you have any non-negociables that work for you?
Inspire me!

I run at least 3 mornings a week, never drink sugary drinks, and eat at least 5 fruit and veg per day (usually more like 10). Is that the kind of thing you mean?

No drinking at home during the working week, no desserts at home unless entertaining, walk to shops. Not exactly earth shattering are they but every little helps

Daily multivit
2 liters of water

Drink lots of water through the day
walk at least an hour a day.
Always have a healthy lunch during the week
Don't eat breakfast just because I'm not hungry in the morning so first meal is lunch.

I also get up at 6 and exercise before 8am every day, whether that’s a run or a workout. I just wouldn’t fit it in anywhere else. I’ve done it so long now that I just do it without questioning.

I always drink a pint of water first thing

Drink water. Eat fruit and veg every day. At least 20 min walk every day. Most days I’m much healthier / more active but that is my bare minimum.

Compash · 18/05/2024 17:21

Not a meal without veg, not a day without exercise, plenty of water and never let insomnia or constipation get out of hand! 😄

10k steps everyday
Water bottle drunk twice every day so about 2 litres
Exercise 5 times a week in the mornings
I've been doing this for the last 6 weeks and at first was hard to commit especially the water but I feel now are embedded and are nonnegotiables!

HighHeelsHurt · 18/05/2024 18:10

A promise to myself to attend 3 weight training sessions a week (minimum)
5000 steps before 8am (week day)
5k run a weekend (parkrun ideally)
bed by 9.30pm
no electronics around the children between 4-7pm. Charge phone downstairs.

overweight but strong and these habits have improved my life for the better

These are exactly what I was after! How inspiring! You're all so disciplined. I think self discipline is what I'm hoping to improve by starting this thread xxx
