Thank you @makattack220 !!
🧠Do you have established habits or are you working on any habits that involve changing your mindset or thought patterns?
Yes, established habits, gradually identified, practiced, and honed over the past 6 years 2 months. No new ones currently.
🧠Have you found that mindset work has been important in your health/wellness/fitness journey?
Yes, absolutely. Identifying my “Big Why?” was instrumental. That led to “Health First”
That led to losing weight, walking 10K daily, only eating home-cooked, sleep, ending worrying, develop interests that “fill me”, macros/micros. And tons more.
So yes, having an overwhelmingly powerful reason for WHY (ie a mindset)!we are doing all this was/is key for me. I am a person who loves my daily hikes and my delicious, healthy meals. I am a person who creates daily & celebrates life/nature. I am a person who doesn’t worry, but takes action or relaxes instead. I am a successful maintainer. [1st time I’ve ever said that.]
As I was walking to get my every 2 month labs today, I thought “Well, congratulations, you’ve done everything you could have.” And smiled. I have made astounding changes in the past month.
And, lo & behold, the results of the lab tests showed every. Single. Improvement.
Best kidney function I’ve had since transplant. Always good, but this was stellar.
Lowest cholesterol numbers ever. Ditto triglycerides. Plus losing 6 lbs. plus eating Tons of freggies. Slashing saturated fat is helping along with low dose statin.

Exercise: 40 minutes walk in a beautiful spring-feeling day!
Tracking: Did not plan ahead because we didn't decide dinner plan the night before. But I tracked ahead of each meal and got to a total that worked.
Calories: Under
Mindset.
I think I have lucked into a usually positive mindset. My main work at the moment is trying to strike the balance at work between doing my best to bring things forward and not making myself obnoxious and/or frustrated by trying to change things that can't change (or not yet). Probably at home too, same thing. "I am a person who makes things happen for the better" can actually be a problem sometimes, I am learning. Sometimes you need to be a person who steps back and lets things not happen.
For food, I think I am also lucky that the weight I need to lose did not come from patterns of emotional eating that I am needing to untangle. That sounds like a real challenge. I ate pretty healthily until I gained over half my body weight during a pregnancy with hyperemesis. I could only eat white foods or I would vomit, and if I didn't eat every 2 hours I would vomit. That was over 10 years ago (my daughter is about to turn 10).
I think since then the mindset has been prioritizing myself enough to take the time needed to eat lower calorie - which really does take some time. But, I honestly think I was in that mindset earlier, and it took kids getting older, switching jobs, old dog dying to have the bandwidth to actually put it into practice.
Just writing this out has reminded me what a gift it is to be able to prioritize myself in this way, and that is a mindset shift - not that I "have to" eat healthy and don't "get to" eat whatever junk the kids are eating. But that I don't "have to" eat whatever junk the kids are eating, but I "get to" make myself a nutritious meal that moves me towards my goals.
Hey, thanks, @makattack220 ! Great topic.2 -

Whenever I begin to feel "out of sorts", I find that spending time in prayer and reading my Bible helps me to feel grounded again.
Same here- prayers and reading my Bible has really help my mindset.1 -

Amazing, inspiring post @MadisonMolly2017 ! Thank you for sharing. I especially love the "gradually identified, practiced" habits as I very much identify with this part of the process in my own journey right now. So encouraging to hear from those who have been/are going through the same!
@Caroline_slowandsteady love this: "have to" vs "get to" and striking a balance. Thanks for sharing!!
We really have such an amazing group of people here - thank you all for sharing!💗🧠3 -
