forum. I've been doing Habit Heroes since May 2025 and I'm glad I have.

How did I find Habit Heroes? I knew I was going to Boy Scout camp on Catalina Island in July to volunteer and there's a lot of walking involved, so I knew I had to get in "shape." I'm 57, a tad overweight, and I work at night - and I have a job where I sit down 8 hours a day, so I realized I needed something to motivate me to get up and just move. I think I was talking to Phyllis in May and she mentioned Habit Heroes. I checked it out and said why not. I need to work on exercise and this is motivating in that I can go at my own pace.

In May and June I had a lifting weights goal, and then when I started VC in July, I incorporated a step goal. I'm so glad I had. Those little aches and pains in the hips and knees have become very minor or nonexistent. This month, I incorporated a writing goal, because I really need to finish my updating/editing of "Gifts," a story about two ice skaters that fall in love. Due to incorporating this habit, I've began to make progress with it, so in that regard, I'm glad I'm not "stalled" anymore. Some days I don't meet my goal, and I try not to beat myself up.

Anyhoo...if anything, working on my exercise habits has helped me to realize just how important it is to do some type of exercise, even if it is taking a small walk or lifting small weights.

If you're looking to develop some, good positive habits, check out Habit Heroes. I highly recommend it!
