modest

modest - adj - having or showing a moderate or humble estimate of one's merits, importance, etc.; having or showing regard for the decencies of behavior, speech, dress, etc.; limited or moderate in amount, extent, etc.

respect + humility = modesty

Out of respect for myself I will always strive to keep healthy and fit both mentally and physically. Out of respect those with whom I come in contact, I will not hold myself as more important than they and consider carefully their concerns and wishes. This, for me, defines modest behavior.
