Five months ago I started this, and the first stretch had all the drama. Now the interesting part is how ordinary it feels. I prep the same lunch on Sunday, take a 25-minute walk after dinner, and keep a paper calendar where I circle days I sleep 7+ hours. That calendar has more circles than I expected.
Scale is down 34 pounds, but the thing I notice is that I no longer negotiate with myself about the evening walk. Some older flat-week threads here helped me stop treating a boring stretch as a failed one.
For those past the four- or five-month mark, what made the routine stick once the novelty wore off?
