I’m taking a little break with the series “50 Habits of Thin People“, since we are halfway through. The break is partly just because I can (and honestly, I was feeling less inspired to continue to write these posts since I hadn’t received a lot of feedback on that series lately). I want to encourage you to check out the 26 habits I have posted and comment on what habit(s) are working in your life, tips you have, etc.!
I’m introducing a new series!!
I’m so excited to bring this new series [...]
Hello everyone. In this series, we’ve gone over 24 habits of thin people in just 11 weeks! That’s a pretty fast rate. I don’t want to keep up at this speed without taking time to see weather or not we are really building habits. So, for this week we are going to break habits down into baby steps and develop triggers.
First, let’s Evaluate – “What Habits have worked for me?” I know I’ve given you 2-3 habits each week. In reality though, to start a habit and make it stick, you only want to work on building one [...]
Last week, we talked about 3 more habits related to breakfast in the series 50 Habits of Thin People. We have looked at 21 different healthy habits so far. If you are just jumping into this series, check out what you’ve missed!
Healthy Habit #22: Surprise Your Metabolism As soon as you awake in the morning, roll right out of bed and do a quick high-intensity circuit training routine for just 5 minutes. This quick 5 minute routine will shock your metabolism and get it going strong for the day. Here’s an [...]
This series, 50 Habits of Thin People has covered 18 habits so far. If you missed last time, we talked about the importance of eating breakfast! We have also spent some time evaluating how we are doing on making these habits stick.
Continuing on the Breakfast theme, I’ve got a couple more habits to think about when planning breakfasts.
Healthy Habit #19: Increase Fiber intake According to The Volumetrics Weight-Control Plan (p. 64): “While Americans average about 15 grams of fiber daily, many rural Africans take in 80 grams. [...]
This series, 50 Habits of Thin People has covered 17 habits so far. If you missed last time, we talked about 8 healthy late night snacks! We have also spent some time evaluating how we are doing on making these habits stick.
Healthy Habit #18: Eat Breakfast (don’t skip it!) (I was tempted for this habit to be entitled Don’t Skip Breakfast, but it’s much better to put things in a positive light. Eat Breakfast!)
There has been a LOT that has already been said about this subject. “Breakfast is the most [...]
So far, we’ve talked about 15 habits of thin people. If you missed the week I reviewed them all and went through two steps to evaluate how you are doing, I would encourage you check it out! Last week I talked about exercising and how hard it is to establish a routine. I’d still love for you all to comment on how establishing an exercise routine did work or didn’t work for you. Here are the next two healthy habits:
Healthy Habit #16: No Fast Food Avoiding the fast food helps to avoid the extra weight, [...]
Hello all! Last week, I took a break from giving you more habits to think about, because I want to give you time to build those habits. However, I did mention 2 things it’s important to do when building habits: 1) Evaluate what habits are working for you, and 2) Stick it out
As I was mulling over it this week, those two points are in fact habits of healthy people, or as I’m calling it – habits of thin people. So, I’m making these two points Healthy Habits #12 and #13.

Hello everyone. In this series, we’ve gone over 11 habits of thin people in just 5 weeks! That’s a pretty fast rate. I don’t really want to continue at this speed if we are not really building habits. So, for this week we are going to evaluate how we’ve done and what habits we think will stick.
Step 1: Evaluate. “What Habits have worked for me?” I know I’ve given you 2-3 habits each week. In reality though, to start a habit and make it stick, you only want to work on building one habit at a time. [...]
Thank you all for your comments last week. We had some great feedback and Rachel mentioned an article that lists 29 exercises that you can do at or near your desk. How are you doing on the previous habits? Have you picked a couple to work on and build as habits?
The habits we are working on currently? - My husband and I want to have the habit of walking outside 45 min. on most days, but this last week we only walked 3 days. - We’ve been using smaller plates for our meals. - Eating Soup as the first [...]
Thank you all for your comments last week!! Did you eat more soup, as we did? How are you doing on the previous habits? Have you picked a couple to work on and build as habits?
My husband and I have continued walking for 45 min, though we haven’t gotten to it everyday this week (our schedules haven’t matched up as nicely – he’s been working more). I’m still very proud of us! Last Friday evening we even walked to Bible Study at 7pm and home from Study at 10pm!! (it was a 13 min [...]
