When you post your daily habit checkin - will you please write your total at the bottom? ie: 4 points out of 6 - or - all points
Today when I was pulling the table together I had to check and double check to make sure I wasn't miscounting. lol. I'd rather trust you to do your daily counts than mess them up myself!
I'm enjoying this tremendously and love seeing how well we are all doing!
I can probably paste this into your page 1 post so new folk see it too2 -
Thank you, @tinkerbellang831

Reviewed Feb progress so far and have swapped some of my non-scale goals out for next month as a couple of them are pretty much under control. Sleep is good and I've upped my Protein goal.
👣 8000 steps per day average - I struggled a little with this the last month or so but reckon I should make Feb's goal if I push myself out in the awful weather.
🍫 7 days per week mind portion control when it comes to snacks, the weather, lockdown, work stress gets me down and I reach for them. Next month, I return to pre-weighed or pre-portioned snacks.
📺 60 mins of TV Mon to Thurs, it shouldn't be too difficult to cut down on screen time as one of my other goals for 2021 is to read more (12/50 books done so far. It's helping me sleep better and freeing up more time for other self care opportunities such as.....
🧘♀️ 5 mins meditation or yoga minimum per day have done pretty well with this in Feb since I started listening to the Daily Calm on mornings before work.
🚵♀️ 40 min cycle or exercise bike per week, now that Spring is on the way and our basement is no longer freezing time to make use of my bikes.
🏋️♀️ 3 strength training sessions per week, doing much better at fitting it into my week and feel the difference.
📉 250 calorie deficit minimum average across the month. I have been in a small deficit most of Feb and I want to improve on that next month.
🐔 100g min. protein intake per day from food wherever possible and make up any shortfalls with the various MyProtein bags I have been slowly making my way through last year.
Anyone else thinking about next month's goals yet?

( I know this isn’t a lot of steps for most of you but it is a million for me!....this does not count water walking or water jogging )
4) Stay off the scales until Mar. 1
5) No eating after 9 p.m.
6) At least 7 hours sleep...in bed by 1 a.m.

I was thinking the same thing! I would be really tickled if the only thing I did after 9 was have a cup of something with less than 50 calories.
Might even add that as one of my goals!
See @conniewilkins56, even your "fail" is turning into someone else's goal :-)

Looking back, I realize that I have a wrong dates - I'm really going to annoy me come next week when I try to add my points to the chart!
✅ - avoid refined carbs.
✅ - take 10,000 steps. 11,400
✅ - drink 80 oz water. 80 oz
✅ - 1,000 Calorie Deficit 5 days/Maintenance 2 days. -1,308
✅ - notice and respect "hunger" cues.
❌ - notice and respect "full" cues. This one is going to be tricky. First there is the water drinking - sometimes (often) that water consumption leaves me feeling full for a bit, and I tend to drink water when I'm in the kitchen preparing a meal/snack. That is a small deal - bigger is the larger portions of low calories foods I've been serving myself. They have been growing and a few times I have eaten until I'm uncomfortably full. Which is why I've added this new goal. Today I'm trying very hard to watch for this...and to peel a few calories off of each meal because yesterday, though I didn't do any "bad" eating, I came in a few hundred calories over goal.
✅ - Grant myself one kindness. Yesterday's kindness was not taking that evening walk because I was tired. That felt like a million pounds off my shoulders. Let's see if this is a safe goal :-)

❎ - avoid refined carbs.
✅ - take 10,000 steps. 16,100
❎ - drink 80 oz water. 80 oz Don't know how much - lost track around 50, but pretty sure I didn't hit 80.
✅ - 1,000 Calorie Deficit 5 days/Maintenance 2 days. 600 under maintenance, not too bad for a loose day.
✅ - notice and respect "hunger" cues. Grandson stayed over, I fell asleep putting him to bed at 7, and then woke up in the middle of the night with a sore hip after slipping and falling down a muddy embankment today. Took 2 Tylenol with most of a container of rice pudding. That made the medicine go down better.
✅ - notice and respect "full" cues.
✅ - Grant myself one kindness. That aforementioned rice pudding!

Not a great start, exhausted today after poor sleep last night (PMS related) and bit of a stressful day after car went in for service before it's NCT (MOT), repairs are in the region of €850 + €150 for the service, it was a bit unexpected but in hindsight I knew the suspension didn't sound great. So ate my feelings and waved goodbye to a significant chunk of my savings 😫
Luckily the car was a bargain buy from my employer so it still works out cheaper than buying another car and there was a lot of work done to it last year so the next couple of years it should be pretty low maintenance. 🤞
