Creating a Habit

There is the myth that it takes 21 days to create a habit. That's it. 21 days until you are able to keep up with that exercise plan, or new diet without thinking about. But 21 days is a myth. New research has come out that says on average it takes about 66 days to create a habit. How Long Does It Actually Take to Form a New Habit? (Backed by Science) So I embark on creating two new habits. The first is exercising 6 days a week. The second will be to cut out carbs, artificial sugars, and dairy from my diet. I've created a workout plan that will give me at least 45 minutes of exercise a day. This habit shouldn't be too difficult for me as I use to run every day. While doing this I am going to limit carbs, artificial sugars, and dairy to one meal and one snack a day. Now I should say what I mean by carbs. I am going to continue to eat fruits, veggies, and beans. But the "bread" and grain carbs are the ones I am going to cut out. Eventually, I would like to take part in the Whole30. They do not recommend that you start the Whole30 and a new exercise program at the same time. So I am going to start with exercising and limiting the carbs, artificial sugars, and dairy for about 30 days and then I will do the Whole30 as well. Hopefully all goes well as I embark on this adventure to better my health and wellness!!
