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. ๐ Sometimes, we just lose sight of the bigger picture. We just have to make sure that we nip it in the bud quickly ๐

@77tes Youโve had a great month. ๐
@MadisonMolly2017 ๐ You are msking good progress.
@BodyTalking Good going!
@macrat12 Good work on achieving some wins.
@corina1143 Loved seeing you checking in consistently all month and doing so well.
Celebrate everything you achieve and learn from whatโs hasnโt worked.2 -
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.3
