Hello everyone & Happy Monday! For many of us on this side of the globe, this particular Monday in September marks the end of summer and the beginning of Autumn. September means the kids are back in school, the extreme heat starts to wane, summer holidays have been taken, and now we settle into our familiar routines until our Christmas break. Today's intro is a reminder of all we're trying to achieve; a mantra if you will, to start us off on the right foot for the upcoming season. Repeat after me:
I will make my health a priority.
I will nourish my body with real food when I am hungry.
I will focus on breaking bad habits that don't serve my body & mind.
I will move more and appreciate what my body can do.
I will let go of guilt if I fall off track.
I will get back up again.
I will make my health a priority.

Hi Jana,,, self talk is always good! Nice list.....

I will make my health a priority. 20 minutes.
I will nourish my body with real food when I am hungry. I am unable to really use hunger as a key anymore sadly
I will focus on breaking bad habits that don't serve my body & mind. I think better to build new GOOD habits and let the bad ones fall on their own
I will move more and appreciate what my body can do. sometimes when I am hating the run I think of this and feel grateful
I will let go of guilt if I fall off track. very important to stay off the rollercoaster
I will get back up again. yes and I won't wait for "tomorrow or Monday or a new month or a new week or year
I will make my health a priority. 20 minutes. Not that much time in the scheme of things

Today’s report
Exercise: more than 2 hours of farm activities and walking
Tracking: easy since I was so involved in farm chores that I overlooked breakfast and had a very modest lunch. Fortunately, I did not blow it in the evening.
