Remember, you DON’T have to have a tracker!
Re-read @themedalist ’s post which I posted at top of this discussion. Trackers are optional !
@SummerSkier How’s the knee?
@texasgardnr I hope your final push on the Paper Tiger is gratifying!
@77tes I love your beautiful tracker & I respect your approach to teaching!
@nebslp I hope you continue to feel better!!
I value & appreciate each of you!

thanks Maddie.
I have actually decided that for Sept I am not going to add a "tracker" but it was eye opening for me to do it. I actually added some things on there like headache etc just to keep track of how ofter and how severe they were. The previous month I had kept track of what extra meds I took when just to also get a feel for that. But those aren't things I feel like enhance my daily habits and were mostly just one off to tell me what or what I wasn't doing in a month. My Dr always seems to ask me on my annual "how often" and honestly I never really know what to say so now I have some backup data. LOL.
My self care for today is two moleskin patches on my heels where apparently I am wearing blisters from using a different set of shoes to help with my knee. <rolling eyes> trade offs! I love moleskin and have used it since I was a kid and used to get blisters playing tennis on my hands and feet.
(and I will share some Sept ideas in the Sept thread I think)2 -

@MadisonMolly2017 , congratulations on feeling so good and accomplished that you’re getting better sleep!
Oh, maybe I should add figuring out Medicare To my September tracker, too. My birthday is in November.0 -

@77tes I’d love to work together on Medicare (share what we learn etc.)

This month's results... I was able to keep morning water, morning steps, vitamins, planner, ipad off by 11:15, and managing emails to 70% or higher. That means 5/7 days I was successful. The bombs were doing scheduled activities and balance challenge. The most important "fail" that I was disappointed in was 30 min. daily exercise. That was only 64% which is over 4-5 days/week so while it was OK, actually probably better than usual, I didn't meet my goal.
What I loved... All of the successful goals. I will continue to monitor them so I don't backtrack, but there are triggers set up to help keep them going so I should be OK.
What I learned... My desire to have a more structured day was the reason I set the scheduled activities. I just hated being roped into a particular day to do something and ended up with a 48%. I will come up with Plan B in September. The balance challenge was a last minute thing and I wasn't real passionate about it. I'll have to think about this one going forward.
I'm feeling better this afternoon, maybe still a bit of a fever, but I am excited about August and looking forward to September. Thanks to all of you for being so supportive all the way to the end

@nebslp that is a really excellent analysis of your results for August! Esp the way the structured scheduled activities was such a bust for you. Overall it sounds like the wins were better than the losses so CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!
@77tes and @MadisonMolly2017 that will be a WEALTH of information for us on the Medicare. My brother is currently starting that process (he is 2.5 years older than I) and for some strange reason a lot of the bogus mail (snail) trash I get is for him for medicare. I guess there is a lot of competition among the scam artists to see who can steal from the old people the most. sigh. I can remember being SO angry one time when my Mom called me to say that she had received news one of the grandkids was in jail and needed bail money. I was relieved she did not give them her credit card # but still how cruel can you be to do that stuff?
