Has anyone noticed any other 'daily habits/rituals' improving since working towards control of their diet/weight?

Like...my face/evening routine...
I used to be pretty bad about washing my face EVERY night (because I've been blessed with good skin- I took it for granted) but now, since I'm paying more attention to my body and actions...
I have a full out-and-out skin care regime! (with retinol cream and everything for the wrinkles- unheard of for a tom-boy)

And flossing/vitamins...I used to be pretty bad about remembering to do all of the above, but it seems like the more I take care of my body, the more I want to take care of the rest of myself.


Any other stories of the like out there? I didn't even realize that I was putting forth more of an effort elsewhere until my hunny complained about me spending so much more time in the bathroom at night getting all squeeky clean. lol


We can do this!

I have been taking my vitamins, calcium, and vit D regularly now. I was always so forgetful before. Now that I have them included on my food diary, I always have a reminder!

Yes..same things...skin care/cleansing and moisturizing...vitamins..the whole she-bang.

I think its because now that I'm almost 90 lbs thinner...I'm looking in the mirror more and hating me less...now I want to do everything I can to shine up on the outside.

This probably sounds weird, but I have more energy around the house & now I'm more motivated to keep it straightened up. I even do more yard work.
I feel like cleaning out drawers & changing up the decor a little.
