    Suzy i'm so glad your TG was lovely.. and now sounds like you will have a great Christmas surrounded by family!! Better health goals are also in my plan for the new year I just need to sit and for me, set some beginning goals ... but i plan to start a day or 2 before the new year.. too much pressure for me when its on Jan 1st lol haha.

    I wish you and Vail both a very Merry Christmas, and for all of us a happy and healthy New Year with lots of new adventures and opportunities!

    Merry Christmas to you both and let’s hope for a happy healthy New Year!!

    Maybe for next year our topic can be something like:
    2024: a new year and a new start
    2024: one day at a time to better health
    ???? I’m open to anything.

    love the idea of tossing out topic ideas to start the new year Suzy.. i like both the ones you mentioned... just tossing in a couple more potentials

    Take Charge: Be HEALTHY, Be HAPPY

    A healthier you.. today

    It never gets easier, you just get stronger

    Do something today that your body will thank you tomorrow for.

    Wellness is a connection of paths: knowledge and action.

    Your present circumstances don't determine where you can go; they merely determine where you start.

    I'm having problems posting here so hope this gets through. Yes, that last one is great! We waste far too much energy beating ourselves up about the past, whether it's yesterday, last week or years ago. We need to start from where we are, without judgment.

    I kind of needed that thought, as I am fed up today about the weight I've gained in December, but what's done is done, and I can start right now to get things right again. But it also applies to other things ... I like the general outlook of not being bound by your circumstances in the way that you think you are.

    I came across this little ditty today so thot i'd share as we're only a few days away from the New Year...

    As we approach the closing chapter of another year, it's the perfect moment to reflect on all the beautiful possibilities that lie ahead in the new year. And what better way to kick off 2024 than with some self-care—because your body & mind deserve it.

    I kinda like thinking of my goal for 2024 in getting healthier as "self care" rather than "weight loss" or "exercise" or whatever.. but thats just me lol but i thought i'd share it anyway cause i liked it ha

    so i think we all agree we like "Your present circumstances don't determine where you can go; they merely determine where you start" as our motivator/daily reminder for 2024? if so we can make it our topic for next year's thread..

    Vail btw.. i loved this from your post.. "We waste far too much energy beating ourselves up about the past, whether it's yesterday, last week or years ago. We need to start from where we are, without judgment."

    I love the approach of our journey to good health being self care. I feel like I spend so much time and energy on caring for others so I think I struggle with self care. That will be a major goal/mission/approach for me in 2024.

    Vail, I hear your frustration in your comment about putting on weight in December. You have come so far and are doing so well. I know you’ll get back on track. We all will. We’ve got this!!!
