Great Job! From what I see the problem lies in the fact that you set a goal, reached it, and then failed to set a new goal. This happens quite frequently to people who become successful. They hit a peak and then falter (look at celebrities). However, the most successful people never stop once they reach a goal, they push forward to yet another one. I believe that if once you reached your desired level of fitness you had set a goal to run a marathon or something like that, you would have continued on with your program. After that you could set a goal to beat your marathon time and so on. Your habit would continue because it would continue to have purpose.

I worked out and dieted every day for nearly 6 months and neither one became a habit for me. I went back to eating poorly and being lazy after I reached a goal. I'm sure gurus would say it was my mindset, that I considered the diet and exercise temporary instead of permanent while I was doing it and therefore the 'habit' didn't materialize. But still, if you recite the first line of the Gettysburg Address every day for six months, are you likely to forget the words? Repetition should have counted for something.
