Hello Everyone and Happy July!

Think back for a moment to six months ago. It was January 1st, the first day of a brand new year. If you're like most people, you probably set some goals that you wanted to accomplish in 2022. Many of you have accomplished the goals you targeted in January or they are well underway: you set a goal, you created a realistic plan for achieving that goal, and you committed to doing the daily actions, that become repetitions, that then bloom into habits. Thank you for sharing your progress, achievements, and challenges along the way! We can all learn from each other.

But if you feel pretty distant from the goals you set in January, or you've acquired some new goals along the way, or you are new to our group and habit building, make July your reset month! There are still 6 months left in 2022...plenty of time to grow some new healthy habits!

Think about what you'd like to be different in your life by December this year and let's get to work. What will be your focus this July?

    Happy July!

    This month I will:
    1) Pre-plan my meals and snacks by at least 24hrs. Changes are okay, as long as they stay in the same calorie range.
    2) Do at least 10 minutes of light cardio each day.
    3) Do weight training 2+ times per week.
    4) Meditate daily.

    I did some baby versions of these in June and made it! Time to turn the knob one more click!

    This July I have two main focus areas for habit-forming:
    1. Take a dose of my inositol supplement in the afternoons. This is important in curbing the afternoon blood sugar drop which causes me to crave (and eat) snacks. It comes in a powder form so I will put some in a container to take to work since I’m there in the afternoons more often than not. I will also set an alarm on my phone to remind myself to take it! πŸ’Š
    2. Serve a smaller serving, or leave some food on the plate, at least once a day. This is important because I have a tendency to serve large portions, and thanks to my upbringing I’m a member of the clean plate club! So this will need to be a deliberate tactic every day, to get myself in the habit of eating smaller meals.🍽

    I’ve been thinking a lot about my July focus. What I really need is more regular stretching before I work out. I tend to give it the short end and try to save a few minutes. But I also know how much better I feel after a good stretch!

    I want to make this easy for me because that way it’s more likely to stick. Since I’m a big fan of Supernatural VR and use it every day anyway, I’m going to add some of their stretching routines before I box or do the flow workouts. I’m targeting 4 stretch sessions a week. That’s more likely to happen than setting the bar at 7 per week. :)

    Daily update: I had a decent day yesterday (Sunday). We spent all morning doing a thorough clean up of the house - my 3.5yo has toys and books everywhere so we tidied everything up and "archived" some toys that he's outgrown and doesn't use anymore (i.e. put them in storage). It feels much nicer now! In the evening I went to a yoga class which was so great, but I'm a little sore this morning!

    Monday focus goal: Only eat if I am hungry!

    This July I have two main focus areas for habit-forming:

    1. Take a dose of my inositol supplement in the afternoons. This is important in curbing the afternoon blood sugar drop which causes me to crave (and eat) snacks.

    For July I'm going to concentrate on my exercise consistency again. I did OK part of June but could do much better.

    I will walk the treadmill or outside for at least 30 mins per day.
    I will do EPIC at least 2x per week.

    When I exercise I feel much better both physically and mentally.

    Thank you @themedalist ❣️

    This July, I will:

    1) burn 600 active calories per day on average.

    2) Keep food where it has been.

    3) Talk to a friend or family member each day by phone/video/outside.

    4) Relax once my exercise goals are met. Have fun!


    I just learned today that family will be here in August. My weight is higher than I’d like & I tend to gain when they visit.

    I had given myself July & August to lose the few extra pounds, but I think I’ll be more successful if I get back into my maintenance range before they arrive.

    Daily update: Monday was exhausting. As Mondays tend to be! I didn't get a good night's sleep so I was tired and cranky all day. Did manage both my habits which is good though.
    Tonight we will have my parents come to visit for the night, they live on a farm 100km from us and will be travelling through for some medical treatment my Dad is having tomorrow so they thought they'd get a head start and come as far as our place tonight. Despite them living so close, we actually don't see them that often so it will be great to catch up tonight! My son absolutely adores his grandparents so he will be super, super excited (he's 3.5).

    Tuesday focus goal: Leave food behind!

    This July I have two main focus areas for habit-forming:

    1. Take a dose of my inositol supplement in the afternoons. This is important in curbing the afternoon blood sugar drop which causes me to crave (and eat) snacks. It comes in a powder form so I have put some in a container to take to work since I’m there in the afternoons more often than not.

    Second try for some reason things don’t save on the iPhone app anymore it’s getting frustrating. July is the start of the second half of 2022, I have met some of my goals and others are still progressing.

    This month I would like to re focus on my exercise it will be a challenge as it gets so humid here at times but I will continue to try I would also like to kick up my weight loss a notch or two, I was not to successful with a challenge that my daughter and I gave each other she lost I stayed the same I guess that’s a win. I did get out today and walk with my hubby at the Wickham Marsh on Lake Champlain in NY it was rather neat despite the constant frogs jumping in front of you on the trail.

    Daily Update: Tuesday went pretty well. I didn't overeat anything, and actually didn't touch any of the snacks I brought to work with me so I've left them in the fridge for another day! My parents came to visit, so we had a few beers and hubby cooked some scotch fillet steaks on the BBQ for dinner. It was a great night and we enjoyed catching up with them, there were lots of laughs!
    Today will be another busy, busy day at work. I am hoping to squeeze some exercise in today!

    Wednesday focus goal: Chew the food properly!

    This July I have two main focus areas for habit-forming:
    1. Afternoon inositol dose πŸ’Š
    This is important in curbing the afternoon blood sugar drop which causes me to crave (and eat) snacks. It comes in a powder form so I have put some in a container to take to work since I’m there in the afternoons more often than not. I have also set an alarm on my phone to remind myself to take it!

    2. Reduce portion size 🍽
    Serve a smaller serving, or leave some food on the plate, at least once a day. This is important because I have a tendency to serve large portions, and thanks to my upbringing I’m a member of the clean plate club! So this will need to be a deliberate tactic every day, to get myself in the habit of eating smaller meals.

    Daily Update: Wednesday was hectic, but I did manage to take a few short walking breaks at work so that was a small win. My eating habits have been a little better so I'm feeling pretty good about this week!
    I tested my fasting glucose this morning, came up at 5.3 mmol/L which is in the normal range, though on the higher end of that range. It's exactly the same result I got the last time I tested, which happened to be in July last year!

    Thursday focus goal: 20 mins intentional exercise!
