Hey, if anyone here is an Instagram reader, check out trainwithjoan with Joan McDonald. Amazing "young" lady of 73 who didn't start working out until a few years ago. What an inspiration! I think Ernestine Shepherd has just moved to second place on my favorite incredible people list.3

Gotta tighten up! Got swept up in a project!Today is your day! Gotta love projects though☺️ when you’re so into the present moment that you lose track of time.0 -
Wow! MFP is having issues today. I relied to MadisonMolly’s post, it said I had replied to another group that I belong to, and now it shows the quote here but not my reply! Not their finest hour!!!

1. My goal for this month -- This September I will increase my walking miles from 3 miles an hour to 4 miles an hour.
2. The small actions I’ll be taking to accomplish this goal - I will walk 5 days a week w/my DH.
3. The trigger or cue to remember to do my habit - Getting up at 4:00 to walk at 5:00 so we can pick up our Grandson and Grandpuppy at 7:00.
4. How often will you do your new habit (daily is best if possible) 5 days a week...rest days Monday and Friday.
5. What reward will you immediately give yourself for doing your habit? Jumping around doing a Happy Dance!
6. What help do you need from us? I like @pennysob's answer...cheers!!
7. What does success look like to you at the end of September? That I'm getting back to the walking speed I was at before the pinched nerve in my back side-lined me for almost a year. I had spine surgery in June to fix it all. Recovery is slow.

Thank you for your support @nebslp
I decided you are right! I discovered an art form that seems to be perfect for me. Think mixed media & fiber arts on a small lap loom. I am even painting ribbon & paper & including it.
Luckily I didn’t Marie Kindo ALL of my yarn & old clothes. I plan to use the clothes (which really aren’t in good enough shape for another) as strips in the tapestry/weaving/collage/assemblage aka I don’t know what to call it but I love the freedom, excitement & ease I am experiencing!
Thanks again!!3 -
Happy Friday
9/16 - Mon. Very short yoga desk workout at work. Upper body resistant band work out. Again, very short. I just got the bands and am learning how to use them.
9/17 - Tues. Lunges and Squats while walking the dog. A stretch routine later during the day.
9/18 - Wed. Completed part (about 75%) of a workout video.
9/19 - Thur. Very short band workout. Need to spend more time figuring out what to do. I was tired.
@nebslp I checked out 'train with joan McDonald'. Thanks for the recommendation. It is very inspiring.2 -

I have never really done videos (or much beyond walking) so it is being kind of interesting.
I hope everyone is having a good weekend!!!

Such great updates! And welcome to our group, @znaoiec! I’m always happy to see new members post and not wait until the next month. Getting started now, wherever you are, doing whatever small action is sustainable for you is the building block for success. Glad that you’ve joined us!
My focus this month on eating more mindfully is going pretty well. I enjoy my food more by slowing down and eating without distractions like the TV. But sometimes I get looped into old habits, like eating solo with my iPad. Still, I’m catching myself more and putting it aside. So I’m still making progress.

Good to see some people making great progress! I have not had as good of a time with my goal. But, onwards and upwards, I will do better this week.
✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿✿This September, I will exercise for 20 minutes at least three days per week.Week 1 (2-8 Sept): ✅
I will be following the BodyBoss Ultimate Fitness guide along with my sister so we can keep each other motivated. This guide provides for five workouts a week, but in the interest of self-care (i.e. not beating myself up and quitting at the first mini-failure) I will be aiming to complete three of those - if I do any extra then that's just a bonus!
I will set aside time each afternoon after work to complete the workouts. I foresee some issues where I have appointments booked after work, so on these days or days where my baby needs me more, I will complete the workout later in the evening.
Each day that I complete 20 minutes of exercise, I will place a special sticker into my planner to mark it.
At the end of the month, I will have completed the pre-training for the BodyBoss fitness plan, and I will reward myself by booking myself in for either a massage or a haircut.2/9 -

Thank you for the welcome and support. So far it is going better than expected. I am only doing short little bits but I am pleased to be making the effort to add this to my day. I am feeling a bit ADD in my approach but it seems to be what is working right now. I hope everyone had a good weekend!1 -
Keeping up with Flylady baby steps as planned
9/16 Monday - dusted and dust mopped living room 2 minute hot spot in bedroom and cleaned a bit in Zone 3 - the bathroom
9/17 Tuesday- routines
9/18 Wednesday - lots of cooking, but cleaned the microwave and the cart it sits on.
9/19 Thursday - shopping and routines
9/20 Friday- today the baby step is about laundry, but my husband does most of the laundry, so all I have to do is fold and put away. I am making that folding and putting away part of my evening routine. Went to see Downton Abbey. 😃
9/21 Saturday - Cleaned shower caddy and bathroom window and washed bathroom curtains. Also, cleaned the cupboard under the sink.
9/22 Sunday - just morning and evening routines. Went to an opera.
@TwistedSassette , good for you - another park run!
@znaoiec , little bits will get the job done. In fact that is the magic of my efforts at house cleaning and decluttering. I don’t do more that 15 minutes at a time.
@cpanus , you are doing lots of walking! Bravo!
@MadisonMolly2017 and @nebslp, your efforts at broadening your creativity are so inspiring!
@themedalist , your mindful eating sounds really great. It is a shame that we make a meal and then don’t pay attention to that wonderful food.2 -

I read every ones posts! Some really insightful posts! Well done everyone 👆💐.
Welcome @znaoiec! Our declutterfests are so inspiring and such fun to be a part of. Glad that you were drawn to that word 😀. I am delighted that you joined in mid month! And you chose a great "I Will" for September. That was very creative doing Lunges and Squats while walking your dog 😅.
I will use
for lights out around 10:30ish P.M (or earlier of course). 11P.M. or later is definitely an❌.

September 19 I'm counting it ok tonight. We had a very loud thunderstorm so I went to sleep later, but no alarm next morning and I actually slept in! We haven't had rain in quite a while, so this was welcome even if very loud and bright ☔⚡ at bed time. The electricity stayed on!
September 20 ❌ I stayed up late to finish some things that I really needed for early next morning. It was a good thing that I did.
September 21 It was a fun day/ evening with my daughter and her roomie. We had a lovely day. It was a girls day so we left all the guys at their homes. I decided it was ok to go to sleep a bit later with a planned sleep-in the next morning.

Made a good start to the week with a step aerobics workout last night that kicked my butt!

9/23 - Mon. Short Tai chi video and short resistance band video. It is amusing that my husband has joined me in doing both videos. I can't remember him ever doing something like this.
It has been interesting to read what everyone is doing for their healthy habit. I read it and think... I want to do that too! I have made a note to myself to visit Flylady. Any help with cleaning and clutter is always on my agenda.2
