@biketheworld Interesting post, thnx for sharing.
Pass day 3 for me. Not terribly bad, just hungry today and gave in to it. Plus I'm a bit addicted to sugar; eating far too many ginger candies. Tomorrow I will eat apples and clementines when I feel like a sweet. I need to force myself to lay off those ginger candies.7 -

Exercise today was 15 mins yoga, crunches (25), planks (60 sec), dumbbells, 10 counter pushups, 40 mins walking, and 60 mins giving a massage! Whew!
Doctors will sometimes tell patients to stop taking their vitamin supplements 3-5 days prior to a major surgery because some vitamins will thin your blood, which can lead to excess 'bleeding' which isn't good when undergoing a major surgery. I found that out personally a few years ago when I went in for my hysterectomy, and again recently with my appendectomy (they asked, even though it was done laprascopically).5 -

Exercise:
Three separate 20+ minutes on my walking game for a total of 10,315 steps on the day. (needed just over half the exercise calories the fitbit "credited me with" to break even - hence the third session just to increase the buffer zone by a bit.
Logged: EVERYthing ... which is why I knew I wanted more than 30 cals clearance between intake and fitbit credits.
Under goal: thanks to exercise buffer, would have been juuuuuuuust under - but with extra exercise, increased the "calories untouched" to just over 100.
Drs orders I have a multi-vitamin and calcium+VitD supplements. Basic "aging female needing extra calcium to support bone density" situation. In general I do most of the "recommended healthy living" points on the list ... but should probably eat more veggies than I do.5 -
@mshawski - I really like the new ring. I meant to tell you that you inspired me to also use a new ring as incentive. I bought this ring on vacation in September with the idea that I would wear it when I hit 185. However, I’ve changed it to 190 since I’ve struggled to get below 195. This morning I was 194.6. I’d like to wear the ring on Christmas.

Track: yes
Calories: yes
Exercise: yes- Treadmill: 32 min / 1.86 mi
I take a multi-vitamin in case I'm short of something and vitamin D (per my Dr) because I was below the low range for a long time. I'm finally in the mid range. Otherwise I am in good shape with regards to diet, exercise, sleep, hand washing, low stress, etc most of the time.6 -

✅✅✅ for me today 🥰 Plus — we were finally able to have a Philharmonic Chorus rehearsal in person again tonight so I have all the health benefits of that (stimulated immune system response, stress reduction, etc).

Thank you for such an interesting opening post today @biketheworld and to everyone for sharing their input.
I take a number of supplements, all in consultation with my GP, Rheumatologist, and nutritionist.
The other partner in this is my pharmacist and I can’t recommend strongly enough two things:
1. Keep all your prescriptions with the same pharmacy; and
2. Use the medication review service offered free by most pharmacists. They will review ALL your supplements, vitamins, minerals, holistic or herbal treatments, and prescribed medications and I guarantee that they will catch things that even your GP or specialist might miss. They will also advise if there is any timing recommendations for supplements and/or prescribed medications, contraindications between anything you are taking, etc.
I am doing pretty well on the list of behaviours that lead to wellness and healthy immune function. My biggest goal right now is to get back to, then maintain a healthy weight. Adequate quality and length of sleep are an ongoing challenge for me and I do many different things to improve my outcomes (e.g., mindfulness and breathing exercises, acknowledging and working to minimize the impacts of stress, shutting down devices and all screens in advance of sleep time, fresh air and exercise, etc).
Love these daily topics and learning from everyone!

Closed all my Apple watch rings today, although I had to do a bit of indoor running around the house at the end of the day to get the movement ring closed.

I take various supplements, always have, a good multi, fish oil, recently I added glucosamine for my carpal tunnel and NMN which I’m really excited about. I feel normal again, I have energy which has led to me being more social. Who knows if it’s a placebo effect but what I’m finding is that everything doesn’t seem like such a monumental task, even when I’m under the weather and now that I’m not sick, I’m planning things, I’m excited about things to do and see, I engage more… all things I was doing over 5/6 years ago; it has given me my life back.
I haven’t always been consistent with taking probiotics but need to add them back in for my immunity.
✅ exercise - spinning. Reached a personal best in most calories burned during spin (in the past 3 years).
✅ calories - ate more carbs than planed but still within my calorie budget.

@biketheworld , yes the children are missing daddy. I think it's taken time for them to realise the enormity of the situation, that he's never coming back. It hit me a couple of months ago, while I was out on my bike enjoying being out on a lovely sunny day. It just hit me out of the blue, he's not just on holiday, away on a trip, busy with work ..... He's gone and I shall never see him again.10

Pass days so far: 0! I am doing way better than I have in this challenge yet!
I have an autoimmune condition (Hashimoto's Thyroiditis) and I tend to take a long time to recover from any illness (for example, the 2.5 weeks I was sick after eating some bad food 3 weeks ago). Basically my immune system spends a lot of energy on what it shouldn't and not enough on what it should. I do take a bunch of supplements that have been recommended in the medical literature for my autoimmune condition, as well as vitamin D, probiotics, and allergy medicine.
Sleep and rest seems to be the main thing that helps with everything. And pre-planning that. For example, I am getting my flu shot tomorrow. I have booked Friday off work sick, figuring I will need that for rest and recovery. And then booked easy days for myself 10 days after the flu shot, when I will probably have a flare up of the autoimmune which will require more rest.
I do like thinking that all the healthy habits I am working on are ultimately the most important for my immune system. The first endocrinologist said the most important thing I could do for the autoimmune condition is lose weight, so that is a big part of the motivation for losing weight.
