    Nov 4-19

    1. in bed by midnight. Yes, every night
    2. Exercise at least 20 minutes. No
    3. Plan and prelog my meals. Yes, every day


    This week

    1. Research a new vegetarian meal, shop for it and prepare it. No.
    2. Clean one kitchen cabinet or drawer. Yes, I’m working on it.

    I got thrown for a loop. Dr. Started me on a new medication that wasn’t good. I gained a few pounds and lost a few nights sleep, but I’m turned back around straight again now, losing and sleeping, so I’ll try to start exercising and leaning towards more plant based again.

    8 days of success.♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
    8 plants colored on my tracking sheet.
    Big increase in speed of walking & steps
    Didn’t eat all my lunch, Almost skipped dinner.

    Colored the biggest flower in my tracking coloring sheet❣️
    Steps are up over 10K per day AGAIN.
    Ate the fewest calories today than I can remember. Not sure why. The food just seems to fill me up more now & I’m drinking a lot of herbal tea.

    I wish I could figure out what switched so I could do it in the future.

    Comments:
    1. Found a chakra graphic and changed my propic
    2. Did some reading on chakras
    3/4/5. Guided meditations
    6 —> Working through Chi Energy Workbook - Simon G Brown
    (Using ‘am’ as opposed to ‘I will … ‘ as it gives me less scope to cop out.
    2. The small actions I am taking to accomplish this goal
    Research > 5 mins
    3. My trigger(s)
    Morning/Afternoon coffee break
    4. Every day
    5. What reward am I immediately giving myself for doing my habit?
    I am doing a victory 💃🏼 and posting 🧘🏼‍♀️ In my Calendar
    6. What help do you need from us?
    Click “Like” or any of the feedback responses so I know you are reading? Having this place to report in every few days and knowing someone else is reading is really helpful.
    7. What does success look like to you at the end of October?
    More aware of my inner space

    Nothing feels

    (78/100)
    Walking is just what I do. Every day! Indoors or outdoors. I take every opportunity to do NEAT exercise.
    I have daily steps, and active hours goals set on my Fitbit, with alarms set 15 minutes before the hour every 2 hours so that I can have at least a 10 minute walk.
    Where there’s a will, there’s a way!

    Welcome back @BMcC9!!
    I hope things will settle down soon for you.
    You will be surprised how quickly your good habits return❣️

    Which ones are you going to focus upon first? Which ones will help you turn it around lost quickly?

    Will some sort of reward help you during the first few days to a week?
