What's On Your Mind Today?

@ideas2 Thank you for your response. I am trying to work on getting the treadmill to become a second nature habit! I currently get on the treadmill after I have completed some morning tasks but like this morning sometimes things pop up and now I am a little behind schedule. When I get behind on my schedule sometimes the treadmill will get put off until tomorrow. However, I am working on having shorter posts, and maybe making the treadmill earlier in my morning routine. Thanks for your response it is food for thought!0

@KCJen I have been having the same struggle with how to fit everything into my morning routine. I currently have 2 options:
1. Check in on MFP first on the computer and make a long post, then do my 15 minute exercise program. Eat breakfast after getting my son up and am not ready to start work until 9, sometimes 9:15.
2. Do my exercise first thing and eat breakfast before my son gets up, check in on MFP on my phone while eating breakfast (but only do a quick post). That has me ready to start work at 8:30.
I choose which to do based on what time I need to be ready for work. I have considered getting up earlier, but that does not work. I also have tried to go faster on MFP on my computer first thing - but that does not work.1 -
I went back to retina specialist today and she said my eye is healing nicely. The retina is detached, and it's the scar tissue from the laser surgery I had in that eye in 2018 that's keeping my retina in place. (Its kinda like stapling the retina to the back of my eyeball!) Your retina doesn't re-attach, so since I have mine "stapled" from the 2018 surgery, I'm good! Lol. 😎
She wants to see me again in 3 weeks, and said that my vision should be back to "normal" by then. PRAISE THE LORD! And thank you all for your prayers for my eye!! I appreciate it! #Godisgood8 -

Hi all,
I hope you are doing well. I haven't been around nearly as much as I should, I know. But, just to let you know, we're officially in contract to purchase a house, with closing set for the first week of August. We submitted two offers today (around 9:10 this morning) and 20 minutes later our realtor let us know the first house had accepted. Then, around noon-ish, we got the word that the 2nd house had also accepted. It's been a crazy day.
I haven't been tracking tegularly, but I have gotten 20-30 minutes of exercise daily. I can pretty much guarantee any times I may have been within calorie goals are few and far between. I plan to rejoin the group in June and hope that I'll be more consistent with everything then.
Y'all take care and I'll see you again in June!

@KCJen
Mostly our lives are a series of small linked habits, many of them learnt in childhood, and not all are still relevant. It’s those habits which need to be changed permanently to address the unwanted results.
Small, regular, sustainable habit adjustments are integral to maintaining our new status quo. As our situation changes, our habits need to change.
Developing/adapting healthy habits becomes a regular part of maintaining a healthy/fit lifestyle.
As for the ‘age’ debate: I joined MFP in 2015, at the age of 69. Since then I have lost 89lbs, and gained an understanding of of how my habits had impacted my quality of life. Building healthy habits has become second nature.
Age is no barrier to weight loss or anything else you choose to achieve.
Jan 2015: 227lbs (aged 69)
May 2022: 138.2 lbs (aged 76 and counting)

@TerriRichardson112 Oh my goodness you are a ROCKSTAR!!! Thank you for sharing your story. That is very encouraging!! I think I have found a good plan and I just need to keep on keeping on until it becomes a routine and second nature.
