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. 😂 Sometimes, we just lose sight of the bigger picture. We just have to make sure that we nip it in the bud quickly 😂
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. Didn’t weigh and lax on the calories. Got a shock when I jumped on the scale.
This month I will …..
August Focus:
Melt the Snowballs of Complacency
In August I am …..
… being mindful to keep my Solid habits strong
To help me do this I am …..
~ reading them each morning
~ prelogging CI/CO and staying under goal
~ weighing each morning
My reward: My He-Man Power Salute - ⚔️ I HAVE THE POWER!!! ⚔️ and being closer to touching my toes
I am getting there slowly 😂.
📌Focus ~ Strentgening Solid Habits

@corina1143, you have been so faithful about checking in all months, thanks!
@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.

@77tes You’ve had a great month. 👌
@MadisonMolly2017 👍 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 what’s hasn’t 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
