I did it! Two solid months of daily multivitamins!! Okay, so there was one missed day when I was sick and went to bed at 6:00. And two or three times I forgot at bedtime (which is when I was taking it), but each time I remembered and took it first thing the next morning. So that is all perfectly acceptable, and I am chalking this up as a success! I was dreading this so much that what I had built up in my mind was infinitely worse than the reality. Of course part of that was due to finding a mid-sized, well-coated tablet, but the lesson remains the same.
One interesting/funny thing... even after two months of taking that vitamin every night, I still probably would have forgotten to take it most nights if it weren't for the post-it note on my bathroom mirror. Isn't there supposed to be some magic number like if you do something 20 or 30 times then it becomes a habit? Obviously that research is flawed. *LOL*
I agree about the flawed research. I've done things for 4 weeks or more which is supposed to be long enough to form a habit and it really didn't.
ReplyDeleteCongradulations on your vitamin taking! That is a pretty long stretch!
