Itβs super comfortable and has a cutaway for the nose, which allows just a trickle of light. I like that because I donβt want to be in total darkness.
Thank you!!!!
You had me at 7:10 am!!

Do you have trigger events for any of the behaviors you want to do? Ditto rewards. (I use verbal.)
As I brew my coffee & make my breakfast, I will wash & cut 15 oz of vegetables & pop them in the refrigerator as I smile & say βWay to insure your veggie habit!!β
I don't typically use trigger events but I did read about that here last week I think (maybe in the nuts & bolts section ... I don't recall). It is an excellent idea so I should think about ways to mini-reward myself. Washing the vegetables first thing in the morning would be a good habit for me to get into because I know that at times it's my laziness that keeps me preparing them. It would also help with my zero waste goal as it truly annoys me when I end up binning veggies at the end of the week. I also looked at trackers because I'm a list maker. There is something about crossing an item off that gives me satisfaction.

Aww thanks mads! It feels really good!!! Xox1 -
Thanks @themedalist for the welcome! @texasgardnr - I used to get the Fly Lady emails, but honestly hardly ever read them. Now that I'm ready to embrace the system, I ended up using Microsoft ToDo to help me keep track of what I need to do.
Back from backpacking - it was a fun trip.

@TerriRichardson112 - are you focusing on body fat % or percentage of fat in your diet? If the former, how are you measuring? I've always been curious about mine, but thought that it was something a doctor or gym with special equipment had to do.1 -
I just joined the group, also inspired by the discussions in the UAC group.
My focus this month is on hydration. Having just read ¨Atomic Habits¨ and currently reading ¨Target 100¨ I am starting with trying to build habits that will ensure better hydration.
1st habit of focus: The cue is my relatively new habit of weighing every day after waking up, cleaning my cpap mask and using the restroom. The weigh in should serve as the prompt that the next thing in my daily routine is go to the kitchen, drink a 16 ounce glass of water, refill the glass and set a timer on my Fitbit to remind me of my next water break, which may vary based on my plan for the day.
You know it is really amazing how unconscious habits are. I remember the discussion about dehydration and someone talking about monitoring the color of your pee. I said I did that--- but now I realized that is just a very occasional thing and not a habit at all. Yesterday all day long I planned to check the color of my pee and monitor how the hydration was going. And I repeatedly failed! I would remember the idea of checking my pee only after I had already flushed the toilet and left the bathroom. One time I was even thinking about it as I was on the toilet, and then promptly when I finished I walked out of the stall, it flushed automatically and I realized that I definitely do not routinely monitor my hydration level!
I think improving my hydration is going to require several new little habits, which I am also sort of working on but my big focus is cementing the habit of at least drinking more water very early in my waking hours.4 -
I like that this group has people focusing on one habit a month because I definitely one of those who could easily write a list of 50 things and set my self up for failure.
Tracking my food each day this month is a good one for me to have because Iβve never tracked food for more than a week or so. Also, there have been times where my fitness level felt strong, but the results werenβt always what they could be because of an inconsistent diet.
Tracking my food is also good because I know I need to work on mindless/emotional eatingβ-knowing I have to write it all down is keeping me from grazing.
Tired now after first higher intensity workout in a while. Good-night all!4 -
@TerriRichardson112 I like your Creativity focus.
@enlightenme3 I just looked at your app that you mentioned. It does look great, especially that it would help a lot for multiple kinds of lists and other productivity needs!
I use the free FlyLady Plus app that was developed by FlyLady's nephew and has very simple checklists that are customizable, and are specific to the FlyLady system.
I'm using the FlyLady system to help me get back to or to get better with my daily housekeeping routines again, and also to help me get back to the tidy/ declutter habits that have been "misplaced" π€¦ββοΈ because of the busy last several months.
π¦ means that I completed what I needed or wanted to do that day.

Not sure if I responded to this. Feeling really great now I'm focusing more on getting back to hving accountability around my habits. I've decided this month to just use this group to record my results daily instead of using a habit tracker. Seems to be working well as more efficient!!! Thanks for asking. Hope all is well with u.

This June I will ... progress towards a lifestyle change.
I'm 50+ and weigh around 250 lbs; otherwise healthy and physically active with love of the outdoors; exploring the OMAD lifestyle with a Low Carb component to help truly kick in the weight loss. Besides, much of the research I've explored indicates it is a good lifestyle choice to make when in the 50+ category and physically active.
Seeking like-minded MFP "Friend's" to help encourage; educate; and support each other along our respective journeys3 -
My habit for this month will be to focus on learning to teach my intake better while fine tuning a workout regimen. I am new to this group and looking forward to figuring out the ins and outs of it all, as my daughter reminds me daily I am not a tech savvy person. But learning nutrition and working on a workout plan to start this journey is a start to my new lifestyle change.4

Habit for June 2022: Tracking my Food with MFP
Have been doing well since June 1st, but last night was tricky with a little extras at a book club meeting. I estimated foods this morning instead of giving up on yesterday as a whole entry.
Even though tracking food has never felt appealing to me, I REALLY think it is a great habit to cultivateβ-even if itβs not forever because i definitely have mindless/overeating/emotional eating habits that continually cycle around and keep me from maintenance phase for weight and fitness. Instead? Always feels a bit βall or nothingβ. For example, Iβve worn every womenβs size from 2-16 in my adult life!!! I just want to get that sustainable weightβ-probably around a size 8β¦.and be in habits that are so ingrained, I donβt keep feeling the rollercoaster ride.4 -
I was derailed a bit yesterday with baking and making a couple of different types of sourdough loaves. It was an all-day affair that didn't seem to go particularly well (dough was very wet). Will see to day what the results are when they actually get baked. Similar to weight loss, when I'm out of my routine, it throws my habits off kilter. I need to figure out how to cope with that.

Morning I have been working on my meditation a relaxing way to start my day usually followed by tai chi. My tai chi is short but I am finding it a nice way to begin the day.
I have been a bit more successful in eating more natural minimally processed foods I have even swapped in some plant based βburgersβ and βsausageβ no one seems to be the wiser.
Exercise has become a almost daily routine again.5 -
This June I will - focus on reducing and hopefully eliminating my diet coke habit and get back into tracking (was great for over 140 days then started exercising and gave up). I have to find a way to get exercise in that is something I can do forever. I have been tracking monthly averages:
Dec - started tracking - eating around 3500-4000 calories a day. took out eating out for breakfast and lunch
Jan - down to around 2300 per day
Feb - Down to around 1950 per day (ideal) added exercise
Mar - up to 2400 average per day No more exercise - eating lunch out
April - back up to around 3200 per day No more exercise -eating lunch out
May - Eating average of 3500-4000 per day when I bothered to check. Sporadic inconsistent not challenging exercise. eating lunch out
June - Fresh start.3 -
Late to the game AGAIN! I'm sorry! Thank you for your patience with me popping in and going MIA. I'm really struggling these past few years but I never give up.
I have a long task list today, so I don't have time right now to go back and catch up, but I hope you are doing well and I will try to hop back on later tonight! :flowerforyou:
I am focusing on basics and keeping it simple this month.
