October start here too. Curious what you've tried so far that didn't stick, since that's usually where the useful answer hides.
Sayin hello
October start here too, and the aging thing is real, my knees have opinions now. The only extra I have actually kept up is a light dumbbell routine in the garage a couple mornings a week.
Fall start here too, though I'm trailing the rest of you. Curious what you're thinking of adding, since my own ritual is just a water bottle I refill before bed.
I'm just a few months in and still figuring out what sticks, so this thread is useful. What's the thing you're actually trying to add to the ritual, stretching or more like meal stuff?
Curious what you've tried that died off. I keep a water bottle on my desk so refills become a stretch break, low effort enough that it survived a whole month
34 down here, also started last fall, and the small-habit thing is the only thing that ever lasted for me either. My version is just drinking a big glass of water before coffee every morning, dumb but it stuck when everything fancier didn't. Stairs being easier is a weirdly good motivator, I notice it every time I skip the elevator now.
I started around the same time and the habit that actually stuck for me was eating my biggest meal at midday instead of at night. Not fancy, but it survived contact with real life.
I started around the same time and the aging thing is what pushed me into this too.
I started around the same time and the only ritual that stuck for me was putting my dose day stuff out the night before, boring but it survived when nothing else did. The aging complaint is real though, and I noticed my knees stopped complaining on the stairs before anything else changed.
Denver winter makes a nightly walk a tougher sell than it sounds, so I'm curious whether you're doing yours indoors or just layering up and going anyway
tbh what are you thinking of adding? I went with a protein-heavy breakfast just because it was the one meal I could keep boring and repeatable, and it stuck.
