Day 1 Habit Builder Challenge. Identity First.
Define your identity. Write it down. Say it outloud. Then start making daily decisions as if you already are that person. Our brain is always scanning for proof. When you say, “I am ______,” it looks for evidence to support it. And over time we start behaving in ways that make it true. Small choices. Repeated. Share your thoughts below!

"I'm becoming someone who is accountable." I admit, I sometimes let things slide, resulting in things Ieft undone and feelings of guilt. Don't want that any more!
What happens when you combine Book Club + Challenge + Sprint?
Right now your pattern probably looks like: Inspired → all in → busy → tired → restart. Our deepest desires create goals. Habits create results that LAST. So listen ... motivation is great but it tends to spike and then plummet. Habits compound! For 14 days, I’m doing the summarizing for you. This is where cliff notes and book club combine! Each day: One 20 second concept + One micro action homework we'll actually look forward to! Built around minimum effective dose. Built around 1% better every day. Built by penny deposits that compound. This is how muscle gets built consistently. This is how fat loss stops feeling chaotic. This is how you stop negotiating with yourself or feeling the slow drain of procrastination. Inspired by James Clear's Atomic Habits: 14 Day Habit Builder Challenge. We start Friday Feb 13. This is just the beginning. Who's in?

I'm in. Right now, I'm in the inspired/all-in stage and hope to prevent the busy and tired stages!
Welcome to the Strong + Lean for Life Systems!
This is the best place to post your questions! I will be writing prompts to help you automate your system more efficiently. First, we work on our solid foundation which is muscle. Muscle will be the default "savior" for: resilience, energy levels, recovery from injury, recovery from sickness, surgery, hormone stabilization; lab blood markers like blood sugar, cholesterol, thyroid, etc. Once we have muscle on board, we can work on getting leaner. When we run systems in the correct order, progress is easier, and goes faster. Are you actively trying to build muscle. Did you know we're losing it at an accelerated rate as we age and it's contributing to the majority of our health problems? ☹️. Bummer ... the good news: there's something we can do about it starting today!

It's not ideal just what I'me used to. Since the 10-day challenge, I've added a spoonful of nonfat yogurt here and there to up the protein. After adjusting my thinking regarding fruits and carb-rich veggies, my carb and protein intake are more balanced. I could definitely use some tweaks to increase protein!

@Alyssa Furukawa I'll look into the ultra filtered milk. After I use up all my chicken broth, I'll substitute with bone broth in my recipes. I eat nonfat plain skyr, which I've read has even more protein than Greek yogurt.
The brain needs feedback
When we’re building new habits, the first lever we pull is measurement. The brain changes through feedback. Measuring something creates awareness, and awareness is what allows patterns to shift. This isn’t about perfection or pressure—it’s just data. Are you choosing to measure anything? It doesn’t have to be scale weight or body measurements. It could be something like morning energy when you wake up. You don’t need to share it here—just keep a record for yourself. If you want more ideas for behavior-based habit building and what to measure, drop a comment below.

My family has a strong history of hypertension. I started to keep track of my blood pressure when it began to creep up in my mid 40s. The data revealed a direct relationship between consisten exercise and lowered blood pressure. It motivates me to exercise regularly.
Why we don't do what we say we're going to do.
The answer isn’t motivation. It's habits. Every new habit starts as an effortful skill. We learn it. We practice it. We repeat it. Over time, that conscious effort becomes automatic...just like driving. Habits turn into systems. Systems run on autopilot. Autopilot protects our energy and attention. One simple framework: Trigger → Behavior → Reward 👉 What’s one small trigger + behavior you’ll implement this week? Drop it below and we'll hold each other accountable.

@Alyssa Furukawa yup, that's the one. The food was tasty. My friend had steak and eggs. I had the chicken and Kaffles (keto waffles). Both were tasty but the chicken was deep fried, so I wouldn't recommend it every day.

@Alyssa Furukawa the only veggies they had was a cucumber poke.
