    Hi everyone and a warm welcome to our new members :)

    I'm a little late in posting this, nonetheless I am pleased to report that I successfully completed my third full week of no cereal! (Nor chocolate or lollies) I am pleased to say too that I feel that week 3 was a little easier than week 2. Here is my elation for week 3:

    Hi all. @MadisonMolly2017 it looks like your hip is behaving itself and allowing you to get your steps in. I find that when I am on a "rest" break is when it is hardest to keep my hunger in check. You are in your maintenance range tho correct or are you still looking to lose more?

    I am happy with my I will for January. And have found ways to be consistent so even if my approach has altered slightly the habits are the same. And I also continue to do my photo filing and favoriting which was something I started last year.

    @pkm0515 to me you are doing quite well. Progress is keeping track of even the bad days and getting back to it after a couple bad days. In the long term scheme of things you can do like @nebslp and give yourself a % grade at the end of the month vs trying for perfection (because lord knows that leads to failure if we are too hard on ourselves for being human).

    @SuperMotivated56 looks like you are doing well this month with your I wills. I am not a huge motivational meme person but the baby is adorable! (too many years working in corporations).

    Also, even though January is drawing to a close, I'm adding 10 minutes of exercise before 10 a.m. for the rest of the month. I'll be continuing both of these in February.

    Happy Friday, Friends! 🌼 💕

    Hi everyone! I hope 2021 is starting out well for you! I need to go back and catch up but will try to do that a little each day.

    I'm jumping in late with my January goal, but I don't want to wait until February, so I am going to list my January goal and bring it into February with me. I'm still struggling to get used to not having a job. So, I really need to focus on a morning routine. l I need to tackle it in small steps, so for January I am going to work on getting up at a consistent time and not sleeping late every day. Sounds like something I should just be doing anyway, right? I cannot tell you how hard this has become... UGH!

    1. My goal for this month (This January I will..."): I will work on consistently getting out of bed by 7:00 a.m.
    2. The small actions I’ll be taking to accomplish this goal I will set my alarm for 30 minutes earlier than my normal wake-up time. When I consistently get up at that earlier time, I will set the alarm to go off earlier by 30 minute increments until I am consistently getting up by 7:00 a.m.
    3. The trigger or cue to remember to do my habit: When I plug my phone in at night, I will check that the alarm is set.
    4. How often will you do your new habit (daily is best if possible) Daily
    5. What reward will you immediately give yourself for doing your habit? I will place a checkmark for that day in my daily planner habit tracker.
    6. What help would you like from us? Ideally, you could show up every morning with Starbucks and ring my doorbell... but I will settle for you just being your wonderful encouraging selves. :mrgreen:
    7. What does success look like to you at the end of January/February? I will be waking up at 7:00 without the alarm and will be enjoying more hours in each day!

    Have a wonderful day, everyone!

    Hi All!

    Great addition @PKM0515!!
    One of my mottos is “Every Day Counts!” Good for you for capitalizing on the rest of January!

    @PackerFanInGB
    Great to hear from you! We will be cheering you on!

    (My husband and I took a different approach (he’s still working but from home)! & we let ourselves gravitate to our natural sleep cycle hours. For me, with the effect of nighttime meds, that means 12-1:15 bedtime & 8-10 awakening. (Night owls) I was just thinking yesterday that this is one of the greatest benefits of retirement! I love the different approach each of us takes! Humans are awesome!

    TEN days left in January. Lots of time to make a small habit change!
    ******************************************************
    10. 10. 10. 10. 10. 10. 10. 10. 10. 10
    ******************************************************
    So, there are 36.5 10-day sprints in a year! If I lose 0.1 lb per sprint, I’ll be down 3.65 pounds. 3500 cals x 0.1 is 350 calories or a 35 calorie deficit per day.

    I can do that!

    Let’s make the MOST of the next 10 days!

    Do you want to modify your “I Will”?

    I have!

    Created my 16-Day Plan, begun Jan 16...
    Goal: improve some food choices which should take off the pound.
    Status: calories definitely down, sugars down, sodium is coming down, steps are increasing Pleased❣️

    As of Day 5:

    Steps > 7K..............🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰|🥰
    Protein in DR....................😘😘🥰|🥰

    Sugars in my range.🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰|🥰
    Sodium in my range..........😘😘😘|🥰
    Sat Fat in my range 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰|🥰

    Now waiting for scale to catch up! 😂😂

    This hasn’t been easy, but this little tracker has been SO HELPFUL & I have definitely made huge progress since I started it 6 days ago. Every Day Counts!

    🥰= perfect, nailed it
    😘= in pretty good range - definite improvement, but keep working on it
    = out of range. Focus on this tomorrow. Make a plan

    So today I’m working to keep all as they were yesterday, but decrease fiber just 4 grams more!!

    I’m determined not to do my January/February weight creep or even gain.

    @PackerFanInGB , I’ll be at you door with the Starbucks at 7. 🤣

    @clcommander14 welcome. I have a couple suggestions. I have put my favorite dessert items in plastic bags with a question mark on them. It just reminds me to think before I eat that thing. I’ve had the problem of “remembering “ I wasn’t going to have dessert after I’ve eaten it.

    @MadisonMolly2017 you idea about 10 day sprints is brilliant.

    @SuperMotivated56 that baby is my favorite gif! Kudos to you for resisting those temptations!

    @PKM0515 good going!

    Thanks for all the fun encouragement @SummerSkier

    My goal for the month has been going great.

    @MadisonMolly2017 I really would rather sleep until my natural wake up time, but my husband is an early riser and I'm a night owl, so I thought I'd give it a try to get us on somewhat the same schedule. He's always ready to go about the time I'm crawling out of bed. So, we will see... :smile:

    One suggestion to take or leave...make small earlier time shifts one at a time over a few days or a week each - I call it “fool my body!”

    Good Morning all! Nice to see such great activity as we creep towards the end of January!

    Welcome back #packerfaninGB I like you ideas about sleeping. and the comments from others are great!
    @77tes congrats on your carbs lowering this month. Do you feel any different?
    @PKM0515 sometimes just coming in and posting the stars is enough to motivate me, LOL. I see you there
    @nebslp how is this half of january going? Is your son doing ok? One of my employees lost her sense of smell on Tuesday last week and tested positive so now she is out for at least 10 days. Has no idea where she might have caught it either... dammit.

    @themedalist how are those weekly letters going? Hopefully in person visits soon. Have your parents been vaccinated yet? I am so jealous of all the ones who already have had two! I fear it will be several more months before it's my turn.

    @MadisonMolly2017 interesting that your weight creep happens Jan/Feb. I think the rest of the entire planet gorges from Halloween until New Years day and then starts a diet. again. I bet that scale catches up to where it is supposed to be this week!

    Hi All!
    Please take 5 seconds & respond to the question in the “Ever Onwards Declutterfest 2021” discussion, so I know if anyone is interested in February Declutterfest.

    Happy to postpone if folks aren’t interested.

    Thanks

    Just lost my post :s Anyway, to sum it up, all is good here and it looks like you're all doing great! One more week to increase our percentage if we don't find it acceptable. I shoot for 70% so am considering this month a win so far.

    well jeez.... why did I knot thing of dat?!!!!

    I don't want Jan to be over because then I have to do my taxes... I SHOULD get money back but it's one of those chores I hate to deal with and will find ANY excuse - including adding days to January if possible - to avoid.

    Hi everyone! Maddie, I'll take a look at the Declutterfest thread in the morning if that is okay! I wanted to hop in and update my progress so I stay accountable. I haven't had a chance to go back and catch up on the first 7 pages yet, but hope to tomorrow! Have a great Monday everyone! #MoveItMonday

    Up with alarm: 🌞 Up before alarm goes off: 😎

    January Goal:
    1. My goal for this month (This January I will..."): I will work on consistently getting out of bed by 7:00 a.m.
    2. The small actions I’ll be taking to accomplish this goal I will set my alarm for 30 minutes earlier than my normal wake-up time. When I consistently get up at that earlier time, I will set the alarm to go off earlier by 30 minute increments until I am consistently getting up by 7:00 a.m.
    3. The trigger or cue to remember to do my habit: When I plug my phone in at night, I will check that the alarm is set.
    4. How often will you do your new habit (daily is best if possible) Daily
    5. What reward will you immediately give yourself for doing your habit? I will place a checkmark for that day in my daily planner habit tracker.
    6. What help would you like from us? Ideally, you could show up every morning with Starbucks and ring my doorbell... but I will settle for you just being your wonderful encouraging selves. :mrgreen:
    7. What does success look like to you at the end of January/February? I will be waking up at 7:00 without the alarm and will be enjoying more hours in each day!

    @PackerFanInGB Thanks!
    Of course! No pressure at all - ever!
    Enough folks want to do a monthlong Feb Declutterfest so I’ll set that up & everyone can do as much or as little as they would like!

    All my best to you,

    Now waiting for scale to catch up! 😂😂Grr
    Might have to cut more cals- gonna give this plan until Feb 1.

    This hasn’t been easy, but this little tracker has been SO HELPFUL & I have definitely made huge progress since I started it 9 days ago. Every Day Counts!

    KEY:
    🥰= perfect, nailed it
    😘= in pretty good range - definite improvement, but keep working on it
    = out of range. Focus on this tomorrow. Make a plan

    🌟=Monthly averages are great

    This has been the easiest habit yet. I think it’s because I don’t have to talk myself into doing it. Lotioning up is it’s own reward. Smooth/Silky😊

    I like that. Seems like both of us have been easy on ourselves this month which is nice for a change right?
    I figured out what the heck was going on with my heels and cracks and nasty black finally. My foot scrubber in my shower was just plain wore out. So I kickstarted with a long soak (remember the palmolive!) and then for several days I really focused on putting lotion on under saran wrap while I was in the house. That combined with scrubbing them in the shower and some nu skin the first few painful days seems to have turned the corner.

    wise saying of the day : never underestimate the usefulness of a wonderful new coconut soapy foot scrubber.
    Ok was trying to figure out how so say for want of a nail, the shoe fell off, for want of a shoe, the horse was lame...

    Oops - time to go brush my teeth. B)o:)
