My 7-day challenge is going to be no junk food for the week. Starting today, I'm going to focus on eating healthy foods and not snack on baked goods, chips, or candy. My reward, hopefully, will be a loss on the scale.

my challenge is to maintain my marathon training schedule for this week. It’s week three and it seems there’s always something that I allowed to block me.

Jessica, thank you so much. I do have a watch, Samsung galaxy, but it's been ages since I used it. I am charging it now and will start using it tomorrow. Thanks for reminding me. I had forgotten all about it. Just goes to show you how long it has been since I was on track to take this journey. Enough about the past, my journey starts now. Thanks again.

I'm working on my Year End Close Out health/fitness/nutrition/etc plan, so I don't want to duplicate that here. So for my 7-Day Challenge, I will work on Organizing and Decluttering the house. It will take longer than 7 days. My goal is to finish by Thanksgiving, so that I can decorate for Christmas.
Sunday: Organize the closet where the decorations live, and figure out what needs to be replaced.
Monday: Organize the dresser in the bedroom where the fine gauge yarn and unfinished crochet projects live.
Tuesday: Organize the bedroom closet (yikes!) where all the rest of the yarn and unfinished crochet project live.
Wednesday: Organize the oak dresser in the bedroom where my summer clothes live.
Thursday: Organize the bathroom drawers and cabinets.
Friday: Clean the house. Finish up any of the above projects. Make a list of 7 more projects to work on for November 16-22.
Saturday: Organize the kitchen cabinets & drawers.

@micaroo4 I've said it a million times before, but I'm SOoooo going to be YOU when I grow up!!! A part of me DEEP down inside, REALLY wants to clean out my closet, but the thought of going through everything, folding it all, boxing it up, carrying the boxes to the car to go and donate it…I just can't get there…someday…

My overall 7 day challenge is to generally eat better than I did last week. Don't let my emotions be an excuse for over eating. It felt good at the time but then because it was fried and greasy I actually felt ill, bloated and felt food laying heavy on my stomach.
Ive got my fruit bowl and salad bowl for eating at work today.
Happy Monday everyone. Have a good day.

Hey - look at that step number! And you kept going when you wanted to quit… you tougher than you think 💪🏽
10,000 steps is my daily goal. I was very busy sitting at my computer for work and when I looked at my watch at 4pm I had less than 2000 steps! Got a strength training session in which didn’t get me any steps. Had 20 minutes before I has to hit the post office. Came home and did another 25 minutes while dinner was cooking. Squeaked in 10,000 which made me feel good 🙂

She shows up at 7:40am and I had to be at my other job at 8am. no time for breakfast. change clothes and grab a donut at work.

Better late than never… and sorry to see that last week's discussion was closed off after only a week! (why???)🤔
November – December 2025 Year-End Goals
1. Health: “Be more consciously aware of changes to my physical, mental, and emotional health living MS since 2018 diagnosis.”
2. Fitness: “Start using the top-of-the line rower I paid all that money for!”
3. Nutrition: “Eat, and keep track of, at least half the amount of protein (that is, at least 107 grams) in my daily diet.”
4. Water Intake: “I drink a lot of flavored water, herbal tea and coffee each day, but I need to keep better track of the amount.”
5. Strength & Endurance: “Create a plan of action for using, and start experimenting with resistance bands and dumbbells, to build a new-year habit.”
6. Walking/Running: “I will consistently “cycle” indoors for at least 7 hours a week.”
7. Organization: “I will consistently declutter my apartment once a week; I will continue deleting unwanted computer files and reorganizing my online folders to find things more easily, by the end of 2025.”
8. Emotional Health: “Click on my two go-to hard news websites only twice-a-day… when online, spend more time, watching educational or ‘positive news-only’ websites.”
9. Work/Life Balance: “Retired, so this is covered! Get outside of apartment and into fresh air and nature more, I suppose.”
10. Relationship Enrichment: “Call, or ZOOM with, at least one different friend each week.”

Wednesday I didn't do the vibration plate. my body wasn't feeling it today. I fell asleep after dinner and slept until 12:47am. Took my dogs out and I'm going back to sleep. But at least I got my water intake and no sweets in.

So far I'm staying on task and have had a healthy snack each day. I pre-tracked everything for the week so it's already logged. It's helped me stay on track.
