I hope that all who celebrated enjoyed their Thanksgiving Day yesterday! By the looks of the posts I read, we should lose few to the dreaded food coma.



In Canada, we celebrate on the second Monday in October (October 11 this year). I have always seen the US Thanksgiving as the start a long slide to the celebration of the new year. The desire to gather, share, celebrate, reflect, and also to look ahead is a traditional expectation of many of our celebrations throughout the season.

For me, this time of year really kicks me into gear to start thinking more seriously about the passage of time and what I want for my own health and wellness. ⏰📆

I found a template at at site to help me create a “future destination” postcard. I am going to use this to create some intentions and a plan for success from now until the new year, and beyond. I think this will give me some personal focus beyond day to day tracking and reporting. I am personally ready for that right now. 🤓

I’ve shared the link below in case any of you are intrigued. The text at the outset states:
“Imagine you could get a postcard from your future self. The postcard shows you exactly what you want to happen with your health and wellness. It's as if "future you" arrived at the destination and sent a postcard back in time to tell you what it's like. The destination postcard tells you what you want, not what you don't want.”

The template takes about five minutes and then I will use https://www.futureme.org/ to ensure that message arrives in my inbox at ghe new year.

Once those intentions are set in my postcard — I’ll need a plan with commitments to ensure my success. I know getting more and better sleep is going to be on that list! 💤🥱😴🛏🛌

Be well and be happy,

Julie 🥰

Oh Julie! @jamcnewman Thisis such a great idea!

We have 5 weeks - almost 1/10th of a year!

I will have family guests around off & on Dec 12-31, and usually I usually do okay, but after they leave I gain (sad they are gone & exposure to all the yummy things they eat that I don’t.)

Planning to eat at dieting level the next 16 days, and then actively manage me feelings after they leave. Practice will make perfect, and it’s time for me to turn this way of handling their not living in a place I can go to around!!!

Love the postcard. Thank you for the links!

Best,
🌸Maddie

Exercise – yes
Tracking – yes
Calories – yes
I only had a short bike ride today – it started to pour when I was only about 1 km down the road! I kept going but cut it short.

That’s a great idea @jamcnewman – I haven’t gone to the links yet but I will do.
I think better sleep will be in my list along with making more effort to keep in touch with friends and family who I don’t see often.

Didn’t do awful with turkey day weight but…. tomorrow is another chance to do better. I did some rowing and flexibility work worked on the dog for yoga better but not grand. Tracked logged made it good night

November 26
❌✅✅

I'm still a bit undecided on my goals for next year just yet.

✅ tracking
✅ calories - under
✅ exercise - over 20 mins on the stationary bike under 20 mins of arm strength and wall sits
