very strange day indeed for me (actually a few of these days now...) where I just don't have an appetite much of the day...; I'm not sick - truly...at least in the common way. I do have a mystery pain that doc is working to help me figure out (after I put my foot down today and insisted on researching and tests instead of just giving me a pill). Anywho - I'm a joyful and thankful person! However, commitment to weight loss and overall fitness is a commitment that is better in a shared group (kind of like a church family - but you guys are my fitness family). Having this group to confide in through this journey is like having a group of friends to visit with. That support is invaluable to me! I work from home, I homeschool one child(even when covid isn't around) and ya know...I'm good with the home life. However, in this fitness journey - you guys...and my online (and live when I'm ready to go back to that environment) fitness instructor are the ACCOUNTABILITY PARTNERS that I need.8 -
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes, I did a ignite class.
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes!
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes!5 -
Yes x3 though barely.
Right now, to be honest, my main victories are scale-based rather than NSVs. Due to lots of work I've had a harder time focusing on exercise. My walks are shorter and I've had a hard time committing to bodyweight exercises due to work. I hope to get back to this soon though!6 -
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? 55 minutes of barre strength + 32 minute treadmill walk this morning

NSV, hmmmmm, I think the biggest thing is just starting up mfp again and sticking to it for 37 days (so far).

NSV #1:
I’ve created a system to create Balance in my life & Happiness & Peace.
The most amazing thing is after I implemented it, my appetite decreased, the quality of my food choices improved even further... amazing.
I now do a minimum of 15 minutes on 4 different activities.
Y yoga & upper body strength training alternating daily
M mindfulness guided visualizations
C cleaning/organizing/decluttering
A art/writing etc ie active creating.
The 15 minutes for each of these often expands to 30-45 mins, sometimes 1-2 hours for C, And sometimes Most of a day for A.
I knew I needed to develop other interests when I was losing weight. Having this loose structure makes me feel limber, peaceful, productive, and creative each night as my head hits the pillow.

Yesterday, my husband found some photos on his phone of me from March 2016. I am SO MUCH HEALTHIER Now. *happy tears*9 -
Pass day yesterday-are too much 🤦♀️
Yesx3 day today. Exercise was cleaning home for more than 30 mins.
My NSV is I’ve been trying to be more active through out the day. I fit in quick chores throughout the day like doing the dishes by hand/ decluttering or even just refilling the hand soap bottle...more steps through the day...and quick tasks off the to-do list. earlier my focus used to be just in how many minutes I did defined exercises for.7 -

Logged and under and walking!
My NSV is that my walks have gotten much longer and much, much faster! When I restarted my journey on April 1st, a moderate 20 minutes was the goal! Now, anything under 40 minutes seem too short!!4 -
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? yes, many hours of disinfecting the public areas of my workplace, plus walking (over 8 hours)
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? yes
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? yes
My NSV is that I'm a wiser woman that I was in the past. I understand I get busy and sometimes slip into a "I just don't care right now" attitude that undermines my health. Meal prep and keeping an eye on my food and weight are essential.
I'm in maintenance and want to continue to fit in my clothes and stay off medications, so I have to stay awake to my attitudes -- I don't have to go along with them. I am not my feelings.5
