    @texasgardnr, you made my day to see your post! Welcome back and we have missed you! Totally understand though that life can get pretty crazy and we need to step away and focus on our families and other aspects of our lives. I’m just thrilled to see your post!

    I am also delighted to see so many people from the UAC group here. I spent some time looking through the UAC challenges and I like how they are structured: a focus on logging food, staying at or below your daily calorie limits, and getting some daily exercise. Those 3 core habits are really helpful in losing weight and becoming a healthier person. Because there’s an expectation of checking in daily, that’s the repetition piece that all habits require. You might not have an explicit cue/trigger to do those three habits, but I’m guessing that there is something that is helping you remember to act, whether it’s time of day or something you do just before doing those three actions. I really like the UAC and it’s wonderful to have new members join us who want to work on habits.

    I’m in Week 2 of using a sleep mask and it’s been so helpful to getting more sleep. I’m still getting used to it, but I love not waking up before 5AM. I also like the nose cutout that allows some light to shine through. I think if I woke up in complete darkness, I would panic until I remembered the sleep mask. I hope you are enjoying yours, @MadisonMolly2017.

    I really like these 3 routines, @enlightenme3! All fairly simple actions to take with one leading to another and then to another. Like a choreography of dance moves…you know what comes next because it’s triggered by the last action. Well done!

    Somehow I do not fully understand the instructions for this group. Are we supposed to be posting with some particular frequency to this thread?

    I am pleased with my progress on hydration. I have succeeded every day in my principal goal of drinking 16 ounces of water after my morning weigh in, tracking it, and setting an alert to schedule my next water break. I also have added several water breaks each day, depending on my schedule, so I have definitely succeeded in being more hydrated. For some reason, remembering to track it in MFP has been harder during the mid or later day, especially when I decided to have a drink before my next alert.

    I am also pleased that it does, indeed, seem to help me have less cravings and I also had a nice little whoosh of weight loss.

    My mindfulness morning habit feels like it is a good one for me and has become more a part of my routine. ✅ This is a good thing because the month has had its moments (as I knew it would and this is why I picked this habit to help myself through some of it).

    I’m going to add another habit to this one for the rest of the month of June.

    Prompt:
    10:30 pm alarm goes off to signal that it is time to get ready for bed

    Do:
    Set morning alarm, shut iPhone down, and get my pajamas on. Prepare the bedside water (I drink 16 ounces upon rising) and fill the water bottles and put them into the fridge for the following day. All of this signals to me that this day is ending.

    Reward: Cozy up in bed with a book. Snuggle in and know how happy I will be to wake with the birds and the sun, because I will be well rested. Having wound down with nothing to distract me into perpetual motion again, I can fall asleep.

    In addition, outdoor pools open soon for early morning lane swimming, and I want to take part.

    Why do I think this is the right time to add this habit?
    I honestly think my internal clock is no longer able to discern when it is time to rest, and I need to help it out. I feel increasingly ill and tired every morning and some of it is because I haven’t had a long enough or a good enough sleep. The later I stay up, the harder it is to get to sleep as I am basically a toddler in an adult body. 🥺 I keep myself in perpetual motion to keep myself awake. Then I just get more and more overtired.

    Somehow I do not fully understand the instructions for this group. Are we supposed to be posting with some particular frequency to this thread?

    I am pleased with my progress on hydration. I have succeeded every day in my principal goal of drinking 16 ounces of water after my morning weigh in, tracking it, and setting an alert to schedule my next water break. I also have added several water breaks each day, depending on my schedule, so I have definitely succeeded in being more hydrated. For some reason, remembering to track it in MFP has been harder during the mid or later day, especially when I decided to have a drink before my next alert.

    I am also pleased that it does, indeed, seem to help me have less cravings and I also had a nice little whoosh of weight loss.

    Hi @ideas1

    Great question! You get to determine the frequency that you would like to post to this group.

    Some do so daily
    Some intermittently
    Some weekly
    Some do review post at the end of each month

    We’re glad you are here!
