Habits

I read recently that it takes 21 days to break a habit.  THREE weeks people!  That's a long time!  I was wondering just how long it might take to create a new habit.  It has been plaguing me for some time.  Here's where the problem lies; my kids are 8, 7, and 4.  They have had teeth in their mouths since about a year old.  Husband and I have brushed their teeth twice a day since then.  Now my question is how long does it take to form a habit?  Cause these kids STILL forget to brush their teeth!!  And what scares me is that I haven't been tread milling as much as I want, but how long before it's a habit to do so?  How long do I need to treadmill before I miss it when I don't do it?

Today I got up again when my husband left and I went on the treadmill.  I feel great.  It's really so much easier to do this in the morning.

So anyways, I obviously tread milled this morning.  I went a distance of 2.6 and burnt 314 cals.  My heart rate went up to 136 bpm.  And as far as not tread milling yesterday, it was my birthday.  I slept in and I enjoyed it!  Until next time!

  1. There are things that I wish would become a habit...like exercising... and than there are things that I wish weren't a habit, like letting my house become a disaster all the time.
    Oh well, one day at a time. Jesus + nothing (me)= everything! God Bless you Josie!!
