    @77tes, I love that reminder!

    @SummerSkier, you're right, thank you! (I loved reading about your cat too.)

    @MadisonMolly2017, I need to remember and reflect on your words: "Fills my days & evenings with the things I love and/or improves my health."

    @nebslp, I hope you're doing okay!

    Thanks for the support, everyone!

    Hey @PKM0515 !!
    Look at you Go!
    How does it feel?
    Is it getting easier? If not, is there one small tweak you can
    invent to make it EVEN easier?!

    5 days!!! Soon you will be at 1 week!

    And yes, we need to focus on exercise & eating goals, but really, I feel, it’s about creating a life we LOVE that includes health❣️

    C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S !!

    (Tiny habits REALLY work, and like decluttering, they get to be quite addicting! Continually improving IS the BEST kind of addiction!!

    Reading is cutting screen time!!

    @SummerSkier
    Thanks for asking!

    10/10 for oatmeal. Yes, berries are great. I’ve been adding them or chopped apples with cinnamon & Fage yogurt & 1/2 oz almonds.
    I was eating toast & hot decaf this summer so I’m likely to stick with the oatmeal. If it becomes a problem I’ll dig around in oatmeal recipes... also I read barley has even more of the item that improves cholesterol for a smaller amount eaten. Love barley, so if I need to I have that to explore!!

    Protein is all good, so no longer on my β€œchange list”

    @nebslp I'm so sorry about the big ice storm earlier this week, and all the huge tree branches you lost, especially from your beautiful sycamore tree. That is sooo sad πŸ˜₯. Your minimal goal, with an eye to potentially increasing actions, is working well!

    @MadisonMolly2017 your "GRACE+" method is going great 🎈!

    @PKM0515 you are doin' amazing with tracking and taking your meds 🌼!!

    @77tes I really like how you remember your first thing in the morning gratitude habit πŸ’–.

    @SummerSkier awesome hand/ finger warmers πŸ”₯😁. Great story about your spontaneous cleaning/decluttering episode because your kitty was zooming around your sink ledge, while you were on your Zoom call πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ.

    @znaoiec excellent logging your food, being under the calories, and completing your circles on your Apple watch every day. Good for you 🀩!!

    @MadisonMolly2017 I started looking around the internet to see if I could find anything more about barley and how it helps lower cholesterol. I found this article: https://verywellhealth.com/can-barley-lower-your-cholesterol-697944 among some others. Looks like we might be able to have some variety in our quest for lower cholesterol and better health πŸ˜‹.

    @goingape your determination will help your achieve your plan to incorporate more weight training πŸ’ͺ .

    @texasgardnr That's a great article on the barley/cholesterol connection. Thanks for sharing!
    You're really cracking the whip on that paper tiger!

    @texasgardnr , interesting about barley. My mom used to put it in soup. Of course, the first thing I thought when I read it is the English Country Dance β€œJuice of Barley” which refers to whiskey. 🀣

    I’m find my gratitude habit is really helping my gratitude and attitude throughout the day, so I need to make it a permanent habit.

    So far - almost half way through November

    I am half the month late. I am so lazy unless I force myself. So for the rest of the month my goal is to hang and fold and put away any laundry we wash that same day.

    1. When my phone sends a notification that the wash finished I will go to the laundry closet and switch it over.
    2. If I am indisposed, I will set a 5 minutes alarm on my phone to switch laundry.
    3. Since the dryer does not alert me, I will set an alarm for it to be finished.

    Ugh I meant to enter for next line.

    4. When I cold and hang laundry it will be at the dryer to prevent me from being distracted or just moving a basket to another room. I used to do this and it was more efficient.

    @Queen_Celeste - great habit to start, and today is the best time to start!
