I've been learning about will power and habits, . It isn't really a thing. Your brain needs to use more energy to make changes to the way you behave, so it resists changes as it is trying to conserve energy. Habits take about 30 days to form new neural pathways in the brain; the problem tends to be that on day 31, feeling proud of having managed 30 days of change, humans tend to "have a day off" so the brain reverts to the old, long established neural pathways and it can be hard to pick up the new habit again on day 32. So it's important to just keep going, one day at a time. |

I think that is why it does say it takes over 60 days to build new habits.No reason to have a day off just keeping doing your best each day especially if calories are correct for you.

I've been listening to a few audio books whilst out walking. I'm not sure which one covered that. Or it might have been a nugget from James Smith - I've been following him for a year or more now.

I'm back on it post holiday - long work days for the next 10 days but should be easy to stay alcohol free and I have resurrected my running after walking the streets of NYC. Felt sluggish this AM on treadmill but was fine previously outdoors.
