Topic is great timing @terririchardson as I find I make these big bold statements above at the start of month then as weeks go on I loose focus and motivation so I can now refocus and keep going strong💖💖

@SummerSkier I was getting ahead of my Saturday commenting 😂 🤔I hadn’t thought of it as an opener. I find that reminding myself daily about who I am reinforces my resolve to stick to habits which support my identity.

I am someone who deserves to take care of herself. Every day I track my calories and stay under my number. Every day I try to fit in 3 types of intentional movement - MommaStrong, walking, and stretching, with a goal of doing each one at least 4x a week.
Yesterday was another pass day. My mom is visiting and babysat my kids so that my wife and I could go OUT to dinner to celebrate our 15th anniversary. We hadn't been out to dinner inside together in MANY years - like long before COVID. It was fantastic. (I really hope we didn't get COVID).
I planned and tracked the day up to that point, keeping calories on the lower side but not going in super hungry. We walked to town for the fun of it but also for the exercise. And as we ordered I said, "I want to enjoy all the food but not overeat because then my belly will hurt and that will actually be less fun than if I just enjoy the right amount of food." And I stuck to that, listening to my body's cues and thoroughly enjoying bites from many small plates (truly impossible to track) and did not wind up feeling sick and am actually down 0.2 pounds this morning. So all lovely!
Best wishes to those of you who are ill or otherwise struggling. Seems like a hard month for many.6 -

I feel exhausted after the long walk this morning. My knees are hurting a bit and I’m wondering if I’ll be able to do a similarly long walk tomorrow as planned. Otherwise, all is good!4 -

Thank you for this. I am going to echo your identity statement.
I am a person who values the health and fitness of my mind, body and spirit.
One small change I can make this week to move forward to support this identity is to eat within my calorie budget. I will aim to be successful this week for a minimum of 5 out of 7 days.
Other things I can do are:
1) I will book more treatment for plantar fasciitis.
2)I will book an eye appointment.
