    Moving along rather quickly toward my 360 minutes of exercise challenge my carbs are much better and the non animal source proteins are much better as well.

    I am active and committed to my health and well-being. Every day in December, I will do either a strength training session or an aerobic treadmill walk.

    December 7 - woke to a ridiculous outdoor temperature (-47C), reinforcing the need for this habit of indoor treadmill walking. Now I need to move it earlier in the day. Will be working on that shift in the coming week.

    OMG, and I thought it was cold here! That's brutal. Glad you have an indoor option!

    Everyone is doing so well on their goals and trackers. I was inspired while reading all of your notes and comments

    My first goal/habit this month is to daily do intentional walking/ exercise/ NEAT activities 💖, and to track in the same way as I did in November.

    My second goal/habit this month is to continue to draw colorful flowers on my workout calendar, as well as to track here the days that I do something intentional toward maintaining and also preventing my long time friend "paper tiger 🐯" from finding places to play or hide in.

    All is going great!
    Steps up a Lot, more hill climbs 12,000
    Daily lately❣️
    Extra exercises improving
    Food Quality up
    Sat fat Reduced greatly
    Scale down
    Sleeping longer

    If I lose another 2.0 lbs by Jan 1, I will have had a net 0 loss or gain for 2022. Happy!

    162.4
    BMI 24.7< 25 ✅(My weight also dropped to normal on our new scale, which reads higher.) Doubly happy.
    I feel leaner. I feel stronger. I feel GREAT!

    I got into Normal weight & I’m Looking forward to my physical on Dec 9. Success.
    I colored the last plant on my coloring page❣️ I will share it once I have time to
    Log in to MFP on my computer…

    I am excited to use my next coloring page (Penguin/Christmas) for the next 28 days & I’ll continue the $10 per day for the 2nd 28 days until I’ve earned enough for the balance of the course & any additional supplies needed. I have saved a lot of money this month, postponing purchases as I decided what I really wanted to spend my reward money on!

    ♥️
    Maddie

    I’m going to add 15 minutes of mediation daily to my next 28 days goals.

    My focus this month is to practice my solid habits, while enjoying modest indulgences. Last month, I managed to drop several lbs to combat the tendency to bounce up over the festive season. Long May that continue. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

    DH has tested positive for Covid, which is a bit of a spanner in the works. He’s isolating.

    I’m testing negative, so there is that.

    @KacyCarpe — yes, indoor treadmill in my home and full gym with weights, machines, and cardio machines at the gym in my family doctor’s office. Masking required and only two of us at a time in there. Both of us are considered “medically fragile” so I have confidence my gym partner is also taking great care too. ☺️

    Thanks @TerryRichardson112!♥️
    It’s helping me really zero in on what courses, books, art supplies mean the most to me.

    I subscribe to a textile arts subscription $270. Now I’m thinking “Are you sure it’s worth it?” Good to re-assess!

    Great job, Everyone, sticking with your December goals. @jamcnewman, I really like your strength training goal and @TerriRichardson112, your goal to just strengthen your existing habits is very wise. We don’t always have to keep adding something new. @KacyCarpe, thanks for the link to the Tiny Habits Academy panel discussions.

    The two small habits I want to reintroduce this month are daily use of my happy light (for 20 min) and daily food logging. Did pretty well this week on both except yesterday. We had friends over for dinner and between the food prep and cleaning and then the wonderful evening with them, food logging didn’t happen. Progress, not perfection.

    @MadisonMolly2017, What a great goal to be working toward of having had a net 0 loss or gain for 2022. Definitely a reason to be Happy, Happy, Happy 😄!

    @TerriRichardson112, praying for your husband to be well soon and for you to remain in good health.

    @KacyCarpe, thanks for sharing the info!

    @themedalist, I like your calendar tracker! Doing great!

    @naxxos512, welcome! Those are amazing choices for your three daily actions for December 🐧, as well as the small actions to accomplish them. Well thought out, as well as clear and concise👍!

    Hi Everyone -- Thrilled to be a new member of the group! I read your posts, and I have to get in on the habits and actions :smiley: .

    1. This December I will do three daily actions to support my health and well-being:
    - take my vitamins
    - drink a green smoothie
    - walk for at least 22 mins
    2. The small actions I’ll be taking to accomplish this goal include:
    - prepping the smoothie the night before
    - going to bed in my workout clothes
    - taking my vitamins when I drink my smoothie in the morning
    3. The trigger or cue to remember to do my habit is when I let out the dogs to go potty at night, I'll prep the smoothie and go get ready for bed in my workout clothes.
    4. Every time I accomplish any of the three goals the next day, I'll congratulate myself profusely for making the plan and also sticking with it in my daily journal.
    6. It would be great to get a form of acknowledgment from anyone in the form of 'likes' or similar as I stay on track and post my updates.
    7. Success at the end of December would look like I've completed all my daily goals.

    I tested positive for Covid, today.
    Trying to keep with my goals.
    Energy and appetite are variable, but I’m concentrating on getting a balance diet, and not going mad on the comfort food,

    I have lost a couple more lbs, so there is that.

    Where there’s a will, there’s a way!
