I go to bed early and sleep as late as I possibly can without getting in trouble--I learned in college and grad school that missing sleep runs me down and gets me sick in no time.
I make sure and go straight to the gym on my way home from work. That way I am not tempted to stay sitting on the couch. I also make sure I pack plennty of snacks for work- mostly fresh fruit.
I am trying to develop new healthy habits, starting today the first of October. See if I can continue it thru the month. At lunch, I eat and then the last 30 minutes I spend walking the stairs in the parking garage, and then around the complex. I also try and park at the top of the garage, even though it means my retreat after work takes longer.
My healthy habits include getting regular pap smears, mammograms, etc. all of which my insurance provides. Drink water, avoid sugar and refined carbohydrates, and exercise. Accepting and acting my age and not trying to be a 20 year old makes a difference, too.
We watched a documentary about the poor quality of our food in the 21st century, and about how our grandparents used to spend 10% of their income on quality, healthy food. Now food is cheaper by a long shot (processed food in particular), but the quality is so poor that it is wreaking havoc on our health. Tons of food allergies and chronic illness, also diabetes and cancer to name a few... So, my hubby and I decided that while we may not spend a full 10% of our income on food, spending what we need to for quality is the best investment we could make in terms of our long-term health care. Locally grown/raised organic food that is not genetically modified is a very high priority for us. I have some chronic health issues that can be traced back to the food I ate for most of my life, and also considering that we are self-employed this is a huge consideration!
A 15 minute walk or run in the morning before breakfast, followed by a banana with breakfast, ensures that I'll be more concious of what I eat and how much I exercise throughout the day. And it's become a habit, now ... just like brushing my teeth!
60 y.o. male & healthier than ever! Alternate between walking 8 miles, biking 20 miles, and tennis every other day. Watch diet, stress, & lifestyle choices. Get regular exams for important markers & to head off potential problems. Health is top priority - all else follows having that.
I'm in South Carolina so we are lucky to have mild weather. This time of year, we do a lot outdoors, and that gets us exercise plus cuts down on boredom, snacking, and sedentary habits.
When ever I get a craving for a soda, I grab a sparkling water instead. It helps me cut down on my sugar and empty calories.
I drink water, avoid sugar and refined carbs, exercise and keep up with my annual pap smears, mammograms, teeth cleaning, etc.

I drink green tea on a daily basis!

I do yoga once a week, try to stay hydrated, and try to get 8 hours of sleep each night. I'd like to work out more and eat healthier.
Get enough sleep! It's always the most important thing for me, it's just hard to do every day. :)

I always make sure to walk every day. I usually go twice a day, but minimum once. I also TRY to eat healthy, but slip up sometimes.
I walk as much as I can. I walk the 3.5 miles to work each morning and often home as well. I also do strength training three-four days per week.
I eat lots of fruits and veggies daily
I have a green smoothie for breakfast and lunch everyday.
I workout four days a week and never skip breakfast. Trying to not eat after dinner helps too.
Jon, thanks for your comment.
I personally agree that the Avalanche method is the way to go, but wanted to present all the available options.
And of course, congrats on paying off all that debt!
Thanks for the love!
Thanks for the mention!.. Wisebread is the best.
Right now, I do yoga, exercise and eat mostly organic foods. In the future I'd love to do something fun and healthy like a spin class or zumba fitness

I practice clean eating in combination with regular exercise.
Eat my fruits and veggies
