Great vision boards, @prgirl39mfp! Nicely done!1 -
@themedalist , my sister, who works from home for an MD, was experiencing pain as a result of a less-than ideal set. Her boss got her a special ergonomic keyboard and a wireless track pad - he thinks the computer mouse is really bad. For himself, I think he uses a foot pedal instead of a mouse, but my sister wasn’t interested in getting used to that. Here’s a picture of the keyboard

I’m halfway to my goal of 8 strength workouts for the month, and I have another planned for tomorrow. The other habits I’m tracking are going well as well.

Things continue to go well here
I’ll post a photo of my tracker over the
Weekend, but I do feel that I’m getting the hang of this Maintenance Thing!
Habits work!4 -

A good week! My shoulder and neck/back are almost pain free. I need to stay vigilant and not extend my arm and hand too much. Being careful not to rest my hand on the mouse when I don’t need to.
@77tes, I appreciate the ergonomic keyboard suggestion. I’m looking into that. I’m also doing the exercises you suggested. Thank you.
I’m very grateful to have the pain almost gone. No more daily Advil!5 -
Things continue to go well here.
Hope you are all thriving.

I love this!!! I am going to make one for June. I'm such a visual person...I have lists with lists referencing other lists...well, you get where I'm going with this.

I had not been following through this month with my goal, but since Sunday have been making healthy habits and mindfulness a priority. I started listening to a podcast about keeping it real and it's really helped me throw away the excuses. Since starting it, I've actually seen movement on my scale in the right direction. Yay! So, rather than beat myself up over missing so much of May, I will keep it positive and track as of Sunday.
So happy to see everyone! I am going to get my hair cut and colored today and am really excited about it! Not real excited about sweating under my mask for 90 minutes, but it will be nice to get my hair out of my eyes and cover the white streak running down the middle of my head where the silvers have grown out about 1.5"
Have a wonderful day everyone! Hope everybody is well!

Well done @PackerFanInGB Keep up the good work!! Glad you are going to your hair appointment. So excited for you. I went to the dentist last week and was so happy. Today they opened our community pools and I swam today!! It was amazing.
I have been doing pretty good this week. I am listening to a course called Getting Over Over Eating on Insight Timer and it is fantastic!! Helps keeping me on track!1 -
Wishing you all the best of weekends❣️4

@PackerFanInGB , Thanks! I’m finding these habit trackers so motivating! @prgirl39mfp , your course sounds great! I’m so glad you got to swim. It’s such a great hot weather workout!
I’m already to my goal of 8 strength workouts for the month, and there is still a week left! Hooray 😃

@77tes Good for you getting to your goal so quickly! I plan to make a chart like yours tomorrow, since it is supposed to rain. I think finding a nice spot on the couch with a good movie, a sketchpad and some colored pencils sounds like a great way to spend a few hours!
@prgirl39mfp That sounds like a great a course! Is it a podcast? Or is it something you purchased online? I need the motivation every morning, so I listen to podcasts. It really helps set the tone for the day for me. I love your profile pic, by the way! You look great!
My mini goal (in my head) for May is to get my weight below 180 lbs. Today I was 180.6 lbs, so I'm determined to see my goal this month. I've been steadily going down this month, a few ounces or a pound here and there. I think it has helped me tremendously to be furloughed from work so I am able to actually find time to really focus on self-care.
One tip I've been following from a podcast I listen to is to change just 1 thing, or 1%, each day. That could be eating ice cream from a bowl instead of from the carton, skipping butter on your hamburger bun, not salting your fries, taking croutons off your salad, parking further away from store, etc... So each day this past week, I've been picking at least one thing I can change for that day, and it's amazing how all those little choices add up!

@77tes After I looked closely at your tracker, it hit me that you have all those perfectly round circles! Mine would come out more like the shape of an eggplant or something if I tried to do that! Do you have a template or a compass that you used? I'm going to have to get creative.... 0

@PackerFanInGB I purchased it on Itunes. I srated the habit this month of listening to at least 2 episodes per day. I love podcasts too. Which type do you like to listen?
Thanks everyone!1 -

I downloaded the template off the internet. I’d never be able to make one myself - it would probably take all month. I did consider trying, but turned to Google instead.😂2
