Hi! My name is Heather and I’m working on lifestyle changes for better health. For a few years I’ve mentioned WHAT I need to change, but never followed through. January 1st was the start of “doing” not just talking.
A couple years ago my Dr. mentioned my cholesterol was on the high side and we would watch it. It hasn’t really changed much, but this year I’m focused on changing my diet and increasing my exercise to see if I can get it lower.
January was a successful start.
No alcohol - dry January challenge
Close all 3 rings daily (Apple Watch) 23/31
Some strength training
More protein, veggies and fiber in my diet
Logging all food to track macros and nutrients
My goal for February is to increase strength training to a minimum of 3 times a week. This is a constant struggle.
1) Create a structured strength training workout routine to follow and try to complete workouts before work. After work I’m less likely to work out.
2) Continue competitions with my daughter to stay engaged. Definitely helps to stay motivated, and it’s fun!
Good luck everyone on achieving/continuing those better habits!

Hi Heather! Welcome to the group! Sounds like your January was a smashing success.
My January goal was about strength training, but I hope to continue it in February for at least 3 times per week. My main goal will be about changing up my diet.2 -
February goals to continue with no or only as a treat 1/2 and 1/2 in my coffee I have never used sugar in my coffee so this was relatively easy.
I would like to get back to 155 and stay there for awhile I know I can.4 -
My February goal is all about Fiber!
Continuing my motto for 2025 of STRENGTH
Fiber is a synonym for strength:
strength of character.
noun: moral fibre; plural noun: moral fibres; noun: moral fiber; plural noun: moral fibrrs
"a weak person with no moral fiber"
So I’m screwing up my moral fiber to the sticking place. And revising my diet by adding more fiber.
I’m not sure how to measure my progress or how to build a system, so I’ll just dive in.
1. This February I will increase the fiber in my diet.
2. The small, actionable steps I plan to take towards this goal are eat more fiber rich foods so that I get 30+ gram of fiber each day.
3. My reminder or cue to keep up with my habit - Breakfast will be my reminder to add in some fiber heroes.
5. My reward for maintaining the habit (anything from a self-compliment to a mark on the calendar). I’m going to continue using the habit celebration list.
6. How can we support you? Cheer me on. You were great support in January
7. What will success look like at the end of February? I’m hoping for a bit of downward movement on the scale, eating more fiber will feel easier to do, but most of the biggest changes won’t show outside
February 1 - 41 grams of fiber! Celebration #100 - “I’m a Rock Star!” ⭐️2 -
1. My goal for this month: This February I will make a firm habit of doing my daily breathing exercises (2 or more minutes at a time) AND using the Awakening Bell as a reminder to stop what I'm doing, and take three calm breaths (both habits started in late January).
2. The small, actionable steps I plan to take towards this goal: I will find a phone app bell that works reliably, for when I'm not at home. (This was added to my daily to-do list.)
3. My reminder or cue to keep up with my habit: I will establish a habit of leaving the Awakening Bell open on my laptop when I close it for the day, so it's the first thing I see when I check my computer in the morning. This way I won't forget to start it. I also added a reminder to my daily to-do list, AND I added another reminder to my body check* alert.
4. My reward for maintaining the habit (anything from a self-compliment to a mark on the calendar): increased peace of mind, focus, and physical relaxation; better sleep; plus (hopefully) an improved Heart Rate Variability score. (All things I started noticing while practicing the breathing habit in January.)
5. How can we support you? By being here and working on your own habits!
6. What will success look like at the end of February? Both the Awakening Bell and the daily breathing exercises will be a regular, and enjoyable, part of my daily routine.
* Body check:I have severe ADHD. I literally forget (or ignore) physical cues like hunger, thirst, being tired, etc. Therefore I had to actually train myself to check in with my body, so that I can take care of myself throughout the day. I set up a body check alert on my phone that goes off a few times every day to remind me to check in with myself: am I on target for my daily step goal? Do I need to eat/drink? Do I need to shower, cut my fingernails, refill my meds, breathe, stretch, use the bathroom? Is my breathing bell set up? This probably sounds ridiculous to most people, but it's what I need in order to function.1 -
@77tes For fiber, may I recommend raspberries and avocados
Those two are my fiber superstars. (Plus of course a nice variety of other fiber-rich foods.) I'm sure you already know to drink plenty of water along with the increased fiber 2 -
@takinitalloff , I love your goals. The reminders are brilliant! Your rewards are really important improvements!
Thanks for the suggestions
Avocado toast was my fiber hero 🥑 🦸 for breakfast today. I also love raspberries, but they are pricey. Living in Los Angeles, I often get avocados for free from neighbors. I share my limes with them.
And yes, lots of water, too.2 -
@77tes Yeah raspberries are expensive, I buy frozen ones to be honest. Partly because of the price of fresh ones, and also because I don't always want to eat a whole container's worth. Of course nothing can beat free avocados haha... that's so nice that you have a good neighborhood crop-sharing arrangement going. I hope the fires didn't affect you (much)
2 -
@takinitalloff , I should lay in some frozen berries - good idea. We were fortunate to miss fire damage although I have 2 sets of friends who lost their homes.2
-
@77tes Eating your fruit and vegetables raw also increases your fibre. Smoothies are not a friend when it comes to fibre.2

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be more than
2 lbs a day for no apparent reason. - A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
- Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
- The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
- Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
- The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
- When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
- Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

@77tes Thanks for the welcome! It looks like we have some similar goals. Way to go on surpassing your fiber goal!
@takinitalloff Great idea to set up reminders.
@snowshoe072 You got this! Keep up the good work.
@TerriRichardson112 Lots of great information in your post. Congratulations on reaching and maintaining goals; very inspiring.
February 1
Closed all 3 rings
Upper body strength training - 20 min 💪🏻
My reward for January was a martini 🍸3 -
1. This February I will properly get into the meal planning thing.
2. The small, actionable steps I plan to take towards this goal are to • write down possible meal ideas, • write a shopping list, • buy the ingredients, • adjust according to special offers and • make sure one meal per day is based on my plan.
3. My reminder or cue to keep up with my habit will be to • at the weekends and throughout the month, I'll check our schedules and time available for cooking and have easy to make things ready for the busy days.
5. My reward for maintaining the habit will be a chef emoji 👩🍳 and reporting here.
6. You can support me by sharing your tips and prep ideas.
7. My success, by the end of February, will show a better appreciation of how preparing meals is actually a good thing.
Yesterday, was not the start. We ate out twice 🤦♀️
Anyway, it was a good day spent together and we went to a glass garden exhibition, which was lovely, apart from the treacherous trek through a wood, in the pitch black with phone torch and map, down a terrible 'path'. A nice plus, was that the moon and Venus were bright and clear.
3 -
@snowshoe072 , that's my maintenance goal as well!
Heather @hcoleman232 That's a great start to the month! Bravo!
@BodyTalking , what a cool exhibiton! Beautiful and under a gorgeous winter sky. I love your goal. I'm quite the meal planner and prepper. I'm don't do it now as much as before I retired. One of my secrets is to only cook 2-3 times per week. Fortunately, my family loves leftovers and claims a favorite meal gets better with every successive day. My sister does it the opposite way and freezes the leftovers for another week. Suggestions: Overnight oats or a big breakfast casserole for breakfasts, Mason Jar salads for lunches. Favorite recipes for dinners - I avoid innovative recipes.
@TerriRichardson112 now that you've conquered HiiT, on to yoga - excellent plan. I do love my raw fruit and veggies, so I'm glad they'll help with my fiber goal - bonus no cooking! I've never been a fan of smoothies - too noisy! (Our Fancy blender sounds like a wood chipper gone mad).*******

February Meal Planning
1st - 7th
🔸👩🍳👩🍳
Yesterday, we had a deli platter (at home with things we'd bought). Later, I made a pizza, loaded with veg and some leftover ham, and topped with cheese. I ate ⅔ and will have the other ⅓ tomorrow. This is it before the cheese. It looked so colourful, I had to take a pic.
Today, it was muesli for breakfast and miso soup (from paste and added veg) with potato noodles and dim sum (bought, not homemade).
I had planned to have the pizza and I knew I was going to have time to shop in a new Korean/Asian shop today, so it was all in the plan.
Only two meals both days.

I have been mulling this over each day, when I come in here. I've put a lot of oars in the water (continuing my oars metaphor, heh), and I've ordered a bunch of journals, each of my new journals to focus on each one of my oars, to keep all my oars all moving together towards our goals (me and the oars, we're a pack, lol), so ... which 'tiny habit' to focus on?! *think ponder mull*
I have decided - my tiny habit will be journaling. In any one of them. They're all undated, I didn't want to (have a bunch of blank pages !), so filling them up will only be traveling on each of their paths. I don't intend to journal everybody every day. So ... everybody has arrived, last team member trickled in last night
... but I haven't written in anybody yet. Only have used an electronic journal that I started with a copy/paste from a Terri Richardson post , and I haven't used that since before our mini spa getaway Jan 6 - Jan 28. Journaling it is!

I use an online journal. When I first started journaling, my tiny habit goal was to write at least ONE word every day. 🤣 So I love your “opening a journal” goal ! ❤️3 -

I opened (and made an entry in) my electronic journal today. Not analog yet. I spent the day lost in technology. I got a couple refurb laptops delivered over the weekend, working on getting them up and running. The MacBook Air is all set. The HP Elitebook has no working touchpad. No idea if it's not installed, not enabled, or not working, but whatever it is, there is no "Mouse and other printers" in the Device Manager list. Spent the day corresponding with the place where I got it, working thru a troubleshooting list. I really hate getting new devices 😝. Doesn't matter what - laptop, phone, tablet, router, tv, whatever. It's never easy

On Tuesdays, I work late but had meals based on what I'd bought. My husband made the evening meal, chicken roulade 👍
Also got a pot of vegetable soup made - carrot, onion, potato.
On Wednesday, I made mince & veg with potato wedges. I'd had cheese and wine in the early evening with my Wineglish students.1 -

I journal but only “analog” and only with the beautiful Parker pen my children gave me. I don’t trust a on line journal call me paranoid how can you fully express yourself and feel confident no one will get to it?
Sometimes my entries are thoughts some bullet points. Depends on the day and time but they always have the weather the time and temp of course the date 😂.
Continuing my no or minimal occasional 1/2 and 1/2 in the coffee black with no sugar has allowed me to appreciate the flavors again so clear and pure.3
