"Consistency is the secret to making new habits stick. Research shows it can take anywhere from 18 to 254 days to form a new habit, so the key is to keep going, even when progress feels slow. Regular practice and repetition are the building blocks of lasting change." Cut/paste from The science behind building habits: how to make healthy choices that stick

Endeavor - I like this word.
means to earnestly strive, try, or make a serious effort to achieve a goal.
The opposite of endeavor is…. idleness, laziness, inactivity, inaction, and neglect.

I am really focusing on my eating and tracking everything I put in my mouth for the last six days.

Trying to drink more water, watching my cholesterol and fats, as well as my proteins and carbs.

Tomorrow, I do my first weight in. I’m only gonna check it once a week on Mondays.

Working on my steps as well. Sweetie and I are about ready to take our walk.

Now the days are significantly longer and lighter, I dont really need the light box, so next month I'll be putting it away for the summer. I'm going to think of another habit to take its place.
