I remember something that Maddie said here once..... it really spoke to me. In fact, I have it written down in my journal at home (but I'm at work!) and I don't remember it verbatim (sorry, Maddie!). But it was about us concentrating on just "one thing" that is hindering or stalling our weight loss efforts right now.
We should continue to try different solutions and approaches until we find one that works for us! Then, continue to work on that approach until we feel like we have it consistently under our belt.... and then concentrate on the next "one thing" that is hindering us in our weight loss (or healthy eating) efforts.
What's your "one thing" that you're giving your full attention to this week?

Oh, this is a good daily topic. My current focus/struggle summed up: Being ok with prioritizing myself/my health = as it doesn't mean I'm not being there for the people around me that need help, it just helps me be better at being there for them.4

Yes x 3 for me again today. Exercise was yoga because @Mrs_Hoffer has inspired me and it feels great!
Interesting topic. The "one thing" that is hindering my weight loss is the food that I eat. It's definitely worse when I am outside my usual routine of wake up, breakfast, cycle to gym, work from home, dinner with husband, log everything, go to bed. At the weekend, I sleep later and I start to think maybe I will have something different for breakfast or maybe we should go out for lunch or dinner, and I go over my calories. So now I have this challenge this week: we are driving down to Devon for a funeral. Not only will my usual routine me interrupted, I won't have as much control over the available food.
Here is the plan: we are packing a lunch for the drive down and have staked out a couple of restaurants in the area. If I keep reminding myself not to eat my feelings and not to demonstrate my waitressing ability to carry 4 plates at the buffet table, I should be okay. We are driving down Thursday and back on Saturday.5 -
✅ Exercise: 68 mins
✅ Calories: under goal
✅ Tracked
Remaining pass days: 3️⃣
This is what I am concentrating on at the moment.
From 18 March ThemeThis is my identity based March Tiny Habit.For the next 14 days:
I am a person who values the health and fitness of body, mind, and spirit.
I will refrain from eating after 9pm to allow my body to concentrate on processing CI
LNS: 0 ~|~ Me: 22 (Streak = 26)
This has definitely worked for me. My CI have reduced this month.
I know some people believe that all calories are equal. However, I was checking my macros today and I realised that my Fat%age has been creeping up, which I do not think is healthy for my body.
I will prelog my CI first thing in the morning to ensure that I am within 2% my daily specified goal for Fat%age
👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

@Cowphilosopher your plan sounds good and just remember – it’s only a couple of days. Try to avoid too much pastry (pasties!), chips and cakes (no cream teas!) and you can repair the damage when you are back to normal.

Good topic @Mrs_Hoffer! Last week I focused on getting out at lunch and walking every day while being present in the walk (for mental health - deliberately not thinking about work). This week I am continuing that goal and adding focusing on logging everything I eat (and trying to stay within calories). But mainly I need to start logging consistently again and then staying within budget should fall into place soon.
Yes x 3 today.7 -
@enlightenme3 thanks for the “bump” perhaps I really do need those new glasses!
Reading through everyone’s post so far and it seems we all have a goal or two we would like to work on. Sometimes our struggles become our goals or habits to change. Mine right now is getting back on track with more intense exercise I have slouched long enough. My second area of struggle is still the evening snack today I re organized my habit tracker for the remainder of the month to try to reduce the snacking let’s hope it works.
I like your thought process @mshawski a unique way to look at the whole picture.
I tracked, I reduced my total calorie count and did some morning meditation, kettlebell work and some strength.5 -

20 min workout in—nothing epic. Just some
Kettlebell, little bosu a few crunches. Just glad I showed up.
@Mrs_Hoffer I find it fascinating I was reading Jim Kwik’s book called Limitless and he was discussing focus and the opposite is distraction and importance of not multitasking.
I’ll be forthcoming and say I’m struggling with answering your question. But I feel as though I’m focusing on ways to self regulate so when I need to focus on doing a task, I can do so without engaging in avoidance behaviors like procrastination or reaching for food when I’m truly not hungry.

My "one thing" this week is getting back to my sleep routine. The weekend away for a family wedding was fun and refreshing in so many ways but my night/sleep routine was non-existent while away... that's my focus this week!4 -

I am focusing on breathing (slowing and extending the exhale) and posture this week. Hoping to remember to try mouth taping at night and see if it helps me sleep.
