    This is a great idea and I am glad you started this thread. TeamLeela you have shown great support for people's responses. I just started MFP and found your thread inspiring. It focuses on overall health. Thank you!

    1) Log Food and Exercise each day
    2) Clean and organize my place
    3) Floss my teeth each day :bigsmile:

    toadiejones... Shred it up! :drinker:

    Ally_Clare... "Cut out inspiring information from health magazines and make my own book " I have so many magazine clippings in my room, I haven't even gone through them all! I love reading stories and tips and collecting articles that speak to me, and healthy recipes. :smooched:

    ActiveTami... "Floss my teeth each day" I've been doing this since last August! Almost every day. The reason I started was because my insurance was ending, and I knew it would be a year before I could get to the dentist again. Usually, around month 5, I start to feel like I need to go again, but I'm in month 11, and I only just got that feeling. :laugh: I never believed them when they told me to floss each day.

    2. HEALTHY choices and TRACK MY FOODS!!!--No.
    3. Workout for at least 15 minutes before work.--Yes, 30 minutes.

    I am SO angry with myself! I started out the day well--healthy breakfast, workout, lots of water...Then I just got lazy and just ate whatever I wanted--and they were NOT 'healthy choices' and I had too much. I WILL do better today!

    Welcome, Tami--Love the bunny! I had one when I was a kid many, many years ago. I loved that bunny!

    Well, Things to do! Have a great day, everyone!

    Goals for July 3:
    1. WATER!!!
    2. Clean the kitchen and the downstairs bathroom.
    4, Fix a healthy, filling dinner!
    4. Bed by 9:30.

    awwww, ty Tami! I feel like I wouldn't have gotten as far as I have in the process if it wasn't for all the awesome support that I have received on this board and from all my mfp friends! People in my real life just don't get it and I don't force them to. So this is my outlet to find understanding and respect for wanting to get and stay healthy!
