    I am a person who values
    the health and fitness of
    my body, mind, and spirit

    Habits keep me going
    when motivation flags.

    I think that summer malaise has affected a lot of us. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Sometimes, we just lose sight of the bigger picture. We just have to make sure that we nip it in the bud quickly ๐Ÿ˜‚

    My Snowball
    I had taken my eye off the ball during the last 2 weeks in July, what with visitors and celebrating our wedding anniversary. Didnโ€™t weigh and lax on the calories. Got a shock when I jumped on the scale.

    This month I will โ€ฆ..
    August Focus:
    Melt the Snowballs of Complacency
    In August I am โ€ฆ..
    โ€ฆ being mindful to keep my Solid habits strong
    To help me do this I am โ€ฆ..
    ~ reading them each morning
    ~ prelogging CI/CO and staying under goal
    ~ weighing each morning
    My reward: My He-Man Power Salute - โš”๏ธ I HAVE THE POWER!!! โš”๏ธ and being closer to touching my toes
    I am getting there slowly ๐Ÿ˜‚.

    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.
