    Hi Everyone! I really enjoy your updates! @jamcnewman, I’m sorry to hear about your dog and I know how disruptive a strict medication schedule can be. But you clearly are prioritizing your sleep, and when the medication schedule eases up, sleep can again be your focus.

    @donna25trinity, I really like your daily focus/habit list.

    @TerriRichardson112, I think laminating your crib sheets is a terrific idea! Years ago, my daughter created a laminated poster of recommended yoga poses for my husband and I to do. We still use that poster!

    @lkellandmay, great word shift! β€œI hope to” has no resolve or determination behind it. In my experience, it’s not going to get done. β€œI will” precedes an action step.

    I’ve been doing my stretches and it does seem to help. I just had my annual physical and my doctor wants me to see a physical therapist to help me improve my balance. I completely agree. My balance is terrible and it’s not something I can correct on my own (too severe). My first PT appointment in August 15.

    I will post the August challenge tomorrow!

    Sounds great @Ikellandmay

    Here is my tentative list.
    • Exercise - Walk, bike 30 min per day
    • Take my vitamins daily
    • Record food consumption/calorie intake
    • Track sugar consumption
    • Water - I have been negligent in this regard
    • Weekly weigh in
    • Weekly measurement tracked
    • Journal - gratitude
    • Stretching - toe touches, lunges, yoga 3 times per week
    • Strength exercises - planks, squats 3 times per week.
        Goal is to get off the BMI "Obese" rating and into the "over weight" rating.

      Month in review:
      1) Pre-plan my meals and snacks by at least 24hrs. Changes are okay, as long as they stay in the same calorie range.
      completed everyday!!!
      2) Do at least 10 minutes of light cardio each day.
      completed everyday except 3, due to ankle injury
      3) Do weight training 2+ times per week.
      altered to weight training OR bodyweight training at least twice a week - completed that one
      4) Meditate daily.
      completed all but two days

      Good job tending to your ankle!
      And I’m curious what you think has created the upswing in your hunger? Again, great job modifying your plan to foster your success!
      The hunger spiked dramatically the day after I started a new hormonal birth control. It was awful, and I was ready to drop it! But after about a week, the hunger levels just as suddenly returned to normal. Will be monitoring closely for a while!
