WEEK ONE “I Will” March 1 - March 7, 2021 🌼🌸

Today I spent a lot of time reflecting on what I want my life to look like and what steps I can take to make it happen. I decided on 5 areas (goals) to work on. But for now, the habit I WILL be developing is accountability for my actions. I made 5 focus trackers, each has a goal and I made several timelines below for habits that will help meet that goal. For example, Health is one goal. I will be monitoring exercise, steps count, food, sleep, vitamins, and water before coffee. Even though it sounds complicated, it's just being accountable and saying what I did, or that I didn't do anything
, and that's a pretty tiny but mighty habit to develop, I think.
Good luck to everybody this month!3 -
Week One: Working on any paper(s) that I have had a problem starting or finishing what needs to be done with them, beginning with everything in the 'telephone book drawer'.

]I’m setting a 3-day goal.
I will eat fewer than 2000 calories on March 1, March 2, & March 3.
To do this, I will:
1. cut out sugar & salty foods. Instead of cookies, I will eat apples & carrots.
2. Ask my husband to hide the cookies DONE
3. I will eat at least 15oz total of fruit & veg each day at 3 meals.
4. I will not use nuts as a snack...instead I will use string cheese or Freggies!
5. Before each meal, I’ll recite. “My body’s my ally, my friend for life.” & give myself a huge hug. Maybe even have a little dance!

March 1 calories ✅+ex, ✅no sugar ✅freggies ❌nuts/snack
1/3 ✅ Ally- one meal (forgot)
March 2 ❌✅❌✅❌1/3
Restarting my 3 days March 3 - will take a bit to get this in place.

This week is going well for me. My system is motivating and is keeping me focused. I’m a little ADD🤪 so I am easily distracted. Notice I left out the H (hyperactivity)😂.3

@MadisonMolly2017 I’m sorry, Maddie, if I missed something. Did your comment about grief have to do with the meds? I’m sorry if something happened that’s making you feel sad.0

Hi all... Just a quick 4 March check in.
Mz Maddie, it sounds like you are struggling a little. Many hugs. You have persevered thru a lot and this is hopefully just a small bump which will smooth out with time. Be kind to yourself and if it is too hard, remember it is OK to just focus on one small thing. Like maybe just cals in.
@nebslp I like that you have a system which is motivating you. I liked the little spiral bound tracker which Kathy shared so much that I bought one from Amazon. LOL.
Not much new to report on the fraud front. I feel like the next steps are in the emplyment state agency hands and I have done as much as I can do to be proactive at this point. I did locate my old unemplyment folder from years and years ago (2005) so I could see the account which was hacked. I know a specific password had been compromised years back by the credit Karma reports I get and had changed everything I could remember but who knows ALL the accounts we have out there in the "dark" recesses of the internet. I certainly did not remember this one nor think it could be reactivated. sheesh.

@SummerSkier I hope all goes well and the hackers get caught which probably doesn't happen very often...the getting caught part, not the going well. I have so many random passwords that I forgot or have written down somewhere and are in my ipad notes but I keep changing them because I can't find them or remember them. It's crazy!! I really need to work on decluttering that some day and get those organized! (sigh).But like you said, there's so much out there that we aren't even aware of. I'm sure it will work out, it's just a pain to have to deal with that because someone wants to get easy money.
@MadisonMolly2017 I like your "did not go back into the kitchen at night" comment. Good job on getting all the checks!
I have a couple things that I want to do yet tonight. Steps count is low and I need to move. It's great to declutter papers and small areas but the numbers don't add up very fast that way. I will go for a walk through my house reading a book on my iPad for awhile. Should have gone out for a walk but it was colder and windy today and I used that as my excuse (not reason) 1 -

@nebslp
Sorry, I didn’t want to “bring down” the convo. Our sweet cat faded & after some vet meds, almost immediately got worse. So we made the tough call. And at the time I realized she likely would not live much longer, I developed Non serious fluttering heart...ER, dr visits, several heavy duty tests.
I’m angry when I really think about it. 10million + steps over the past few years, lost 75 lbs & kept it off, and “this is the thanks I get!!!!” 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Anyway, “not dangerous” & the half pill of very low dose med is taking cate of it all. Makes me sluggish & ravenous, but I think those may be caused more by losing my fine baby & dealing with an unexpected health issue.
I’m Slowly getting back on track food wise. Been keeping the exercise high - seems to help a lot.2 -
Got my second strength workout in 😊

Oh @MadisonMolly2017 , I’m so sorry to hear that you lost your beloved cat. It is so hard to lose a pet. Then add the health issues and hunger inducing meds- be kind to yourself and don’t dismiss your grief - it is real.1
-
@MadisonMolly2017 You have been under so much stress. I’m glad the meds are helping and hope you’re feeling better soon. Also, I’m very sorry to hear about your cat. Our pets become family so their absence so sorely missed. Take some time to process your loss and take care of of yourself.0

@MadisonMolly2017 Oh, Maddie, I am so sorry that your kitty fur baby passed, and then on top of that you are having unexpected health issues even after taking care of your health and fitness all these years. And then you had to endure all sorts of testing and doctor appointments. And as if that is not enough the medication is making you sluggish & ravenous.
Triple hugs 🤗💗 to you. And take extra special care of yourself during this tough time for you 💗🤗
@SummerSkier That is awful to know that a very old account can still be hacked. Hoping for a good outcome when all is said and done for you. But how aggravating in the meantime 😖.
@nebslp That is wonderful that this week is going well for you 👍, and that you're finding that your system is both motivating and keeping you focused. That is good news!!
@77tes It is quite excellent that you have gotten your second strength 🏋️♀️ workout in now! You are on a roll!

@nebslp Thank you so much. Stress, I guess, can have consequences. Yes, I will - thank you. Grief is certainly energy zapping.0 -

Thank you @texasgardnr. I called her my feline baby (mistyped it up above) because she always was a kitten to me...but lived a long, perfectly healthy life for almost all of her 17 years 10 months.
Having both the fluttering AND her worsening simultaneously has shifted my grief for the loss of her into the background, perhaps self-preservation.

@MadisonMolly2017 I have learned to hate the #17. I have never been able to keep a kit past that age. Like you I was very grateful to a
kitty who helped me thru some rough times when my parents were ill and passed. And also dealing with the extra heart beat issue. I agree. So totally NOT FAIR.
I know you will figure this out as you have so much else in the past few years. Hugs from Austin.
