This November, I will do a strength training routine a minimum of two times a week.
Another successful week — I can’t believe I am doing this! I have resisted for so long and have always found excuses. I feel so good for getting my act together. Have increased my weight load a number of times for quite a few of my activities. Sought out some help with form as I was having some trouble (one fused ankle and some movement isn’t as easy). All sorted and have some substitutions that work the same muscles.

Hard to believe that November is almost behind us! So far I've lost 7.4 pounds this month, a number I am very happy to report. I have been doing my tiny habits of push-ups regularly. In fact, if I'm somewhere I can't do them (e.g., a public restroom), I do double the next time I'm home. Instead of two each time, I do more like five or six. I've also started doing them from the bathtub, which is a much harder height than the counter. Do I see the tiniest hints of my collarbones now? Hmmmm

November has been a good month my scale and I are heading in the right direction once again funny how we cycle at times. Not a terrible weight jump about 5lbs but seemed harder to get off. At least outbid the 160’s again I can do this!
December I am aiming for 360 minutes of exercise from 12/1-12/24 and continuing my already solid habits.
It’s been one year since I joined this group and each month I think what more can I do but I always find something to work on THANKS!3 -
Nov 20-27
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. No, forgot all about it, but now I’m reminded, so back to it.
I’ve finally quit hurting, and I can finally stand up straight for the first time since January. I’ve gained some more weight, and I really need to get back to eating right! I need to start some kind of exercise that I will actually DO!

You might have any to concentrate on one of those or the other.
What one change would make the biggest positive change re: eating?
Possibilities:
Standard pattern to meals
Standard pattern to meal timing
Reducing one of the following (calories, fat grams, sugar grams etc.)
Purposely eating slower
Or eating without distractions
More water
More freggies (fruit/veggies)
Then set that one mini goal up for the next week.
Same for the exercise…
“I will try a new form of exercise each day OR walk X steps”
Possibilities
Yoga (YouTube)
Tai Chi (YouTube)
Light weight work
Calisthenics
DANCE to your favor songs
Swimming
Pickle ball/tennis/badminton/ping pong
Nature hiking
Gardening
Deep house cleaning
Bicycling
Shoot hoops
Run around after a little kid

At the beginning of November, I said that I would start the tiny habit of doing two incline push-ups after washing my hands in the bathroom. I now usually do more than two, I change up how near or far my hands are (working more triceps or more pecs), and I go from the bathtub (much harder as the incline is less). I am going to keep doing this tiny habit, with the ultimate goal of doing 10 regular push-ups. Of course, if I'm on the floor, I'll be washing my hands after, not before. LOL
This success has made me a huge fan of tiny habits! Now I look all over the place for where to stack them into my day: at the top of the stairs, do two calf raises; when I go downstairs, hang from the bar for a few seconds; when I refill my coffee, do a couple squats at the counter; before I turn out the light at night, do one minute of meditation. The MAIN goal is incline push-ups. Everything else is gravy, but I find I've been doing them all pretty easily.
For December, I will continue the push-ups and focus on hanging. The tiny habit is to hang for just a second or two. One of my dream goals is to do a pull-up, and to do so I will first need the grip strength to hang. So here I come, pull-up!
I hope everyone else has had a successful November and is looking forward to December!

Dear @KacyCarpe !
What an inspirational post! We’re so glad you are here. Tiny habits really do get embedded, helping us create the life we
love!
I look forward to more exciting times in December with you!
Congratulations!

1. in bed by midnight. Yes, every night
2. Exercise at least 20 minutes. No
3. Plan and prelog my meals. Yes, every day
2 out of 3 ain’t bad. I think 2 habits are pretty firmly established, and that’s good!
This week
1. Research a new vegetarian meal, shop for it and prepare it. No.
Ok, so I didn’t really do this, but I did find a few good websites, and I did continue to use some of the old vegetarian recipes. I will keep this goal for another month.
2. Clean one kitchen cabinet or drawer. Have been catching up with cooking and restocking the freezer with main dishes and snacks for handy grab and eat. Too busy to clean, but enjoying how easy it is to find things in the ones I have cleaned.
I did clean the ones I use the most, and I’m really glad! Cooking is easier and more fun when everything you need is easy to find.MadisonMolly2017 wrote: »From

I’m pretty much back to eating better. I forgot how important it is to have a good plan in place for the day AFTER Thanksgiving. Now that I remember, hopefully I’ll do better with Christmas. Then I’ll probably forget again by next Thanksgiving. Lol.
As for exercise, I read over your list saying “ugh”, “no”, “too cold”, until I got to favorite songs. Tonight I will look up some fun songs to play tomorrow. Will I dance? We shall see. But history says there’s a good chance.

Yay! I’d say it’s better than good. It’s great!
I use music sometimes on my walks/hikes if I’m “flagging” perks me right up!
Let’s remind each other about the day after New Years, Valentines, trips/vacations, etc. Just this Thanksgiving, I realized that’s the trick! Yay!3 -

November has been a fun & yet at the same time, a fairly stressful month. So my goal has been all along to keep specifically active and also to be in tune with my body as to what that looked like each day. And not overdo it. Paper tiger was successful for November in that I forced myself to look for paper in different places as well as where it is hiding in plain sight, as it so often does. I did not work on major areas (file cabinet for example) yet, as I wanted to establish the habit of a little bit on most days, not to allowing anything new stay, as well as keeping up with the mail and bits and pieces of easily found paper or newly generated paper such as notes or new lists that were finished.
I will continue this gentle approach next month also, as it is looking like it will be a fun and busy month with family/ friends. So progress and definitely not perfection is the goal. I have been writing a list (I 'apparently' take great delight in making and crossing off lists 😄) of things that need to be attended to or accomplished in 2023 after the holidays are over. Doing this literally stopped me from being sidetracked from what was or is needed to get finished 'now' by things that can definitely wait until next year.
See you all in December!
