    Week 4 is starting off well! Even though our dryer stopped working Monday, I didn’t let it derail my plans. With the thermometer at 100Β°F my clothes will dry. I just have to hang them up. I did miss my strength workout on Monday, but I just did it yesterday.

    Chores definitely count @Corina1143!

    I’m on my trip and found that my hotel is justacross the street from the Bay Trail which rings most of San Francisco Bay. Look at me finding a walking trail while on vacation.

    My planning has really helped me prepare for this trip. My husband has his meals prepared for while I’m gone.

    @vgulyash , upping you water intake is an important goal for so many things. Almost every health post I read mentions its benefits.

    @Corina1143 , well done! Positive progress!

    Having my week planned is so helpful on the week following my trip. Suitcases unpacked and put away. Laundry caught up (dryer just got repaired this morning). Appointments and meetings. And getting back to my workout routine.

    Hi Folks
    I tracked my weight, blood pressure/pulse, and took my blood glucose since I last posted here in July.

    Scale kept gently going up & my exercise would be gear, but then I’d get sore or it was too hot, etc. Erratic. But I am more fit than late July so I pat myself on va I for that

    Additionally I successfully got off white flour, chocolate, white rice. I ate more fruit & veggies.

    I saw my renal dietician yesterday. I hate that I was not successful

    But she agreed to an appt in one month & I have already done a few things that were real wins.

    I’m reminding myself that cravings are transient.
    I’m reminding myself that being overweight increases my chances of diabetes, heart issues, and more serious side effects if I get COVID.

    My goals from now until Sept 28 (next appt) are:

    ***Track all my food in a timely manner
    ***Focus on protein, fruit, veggies, healthy fats & at least 22 minutes of walking a day. Starches & sugars are not necessary for me.
    ***Decrease the number of calories I eat to 1,400 until I am not slightly gaining or maintaining, but am actually losing.
    ***1/2 cups beans/legumes every day.

    I’ve had 3 major successes today food wise. I will make this my top priority so I am as healthy as I can be now and for years to come.

    2. Dressed, ready to face the day, bed made 30 minutes after waking. No.got lazy today
    3. Prelog. Yes
    4. Exercise 3 times a week. Biked 25 minutes. Googled it, I'm the low average noon on the bike. I'll take that. Did 50 reps on the new machine. Now to start figuring out the timer and other stuff. Didn't walk, except the 1 lap it takes to get to the bikes.

    Lost 50 pounds when I started taking blood pressure medication, so far gained 20 since I quit.
    Fingers 🀞 that's all!

    My snowballing bad habits that I want to kick:
    1. Resting & not exercising - I've had to rest most days but increased my walking this week. The swelling and pains are bad today though.
    2. Ice-cream - I had two portions per week.
    3. High calorie snacks: cheese, nuts, dried fruit - I didn't have any excess of these all month.

    Good habits I'd like to get snowballing:
    1. Complete some administrative jobs on a daily basis instead of leaving until the end of the month or the deadline - doing okay with this but could still be better.
    2. Clean & tidy a section of my flat each day instead of waiting until it desperately needs doing - didn't do well with this due to the pains.
    4. Shopping and prepping for meals in advance - (husband is still shopping so I'm still not bothering with this just now)

    Continuing habits I've already begun:
    1. No sweets or chocolate 31/31 days
    2. Reduce alcohol 31/31 days (zero alc)
    3. Stay within calorie deficit 31/31 days
    4. Drink 1.5 litres of water most days, sometimes 1-1.25 litres
    5. Increase protein & fibre (hubby is still cooking so not bothering too much)
    6. Reduce ready meals (again, hubs cooking so not bothering, although there haven't been many)
    7. Stretch, flex & strength not great, but got some days done
    8. Increase fruit & veg most days
    9. More fish & seafood not as often as I'd liked
    10. Walk more a bit

    August didn't go the way I'd wanted due to this stupid arthritis but I kept my goals fairly achievable and did ok.

    I hope you've all had a good month.... I've still to read through your posts πŸ€“

    @TerriRichardson112 , I’m reasonably impressed with your progress. 🀣 It looks like the weight is trending down. Good going!

    Done with August and happy with my success. I’ll keep planning weekly in the long term.

    1. In bed by 12 - about 11
    2. Dressed, ready to face the day, bed made 30 minutes after waking. Bed made. Not dressed
    3. Prelog. No
    4. Exercise 3 times a week or more. No.

    Ended August as bad as I started. Lots of good days in between.
    I didn't realize how much I'd forgotten my good habits. It took some real effort just doing these 4 simple things this month.
    I admire those of you who have kept going, kept improving. We've both lived the same length of time between the last time I used this thread to try to improve my life and now. How We've lived it shows.
    Lesson learned.
