    My focus this month is to practice my solid habits, while enjoying modest indulgences. Last month, I managed to drop several lbs to combat the tendency to bounce up over the festive season. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

    Daily Solid Habits:
    💚💚💚💚
    Modest indulgences
    (calories staying in the green)
    🎉🎉🎉🎉

    December 5 - did two short outdoor walks (break in the deep freeze gave us a brief milder weather respite). Very busy day with phone visits with family and friends celebrating our daughter’s engagement this past weekend! 💍

    December 6 - 70 minutes weight training at the gym. Did my first 30 second plank! 🥳 Included a 20+ minute quick paced walk on the treadmill.

    At least with my plan as-is, I get a PLUS for "signing in (and MOSTLY logging everything ... didn't measure or even acknowledge the potato chips - the ACKNOWLEDGED mint oreo cookies had already put me over)

    Yesterday was my first regular long-term Day On Site. Back at Home-office today, then return to On Site tomorrow. For the next 12.5 month, twice a week on site will be my norm after 2.75 YEARS of 100% home-office.

    Moving along rather quickly toward my 360 minutes of exercise challenge my carbs are much better and the non animal source proteins are much better as well.

    December 7 - woke to a ridiculous outdoor temperature (-47C), reinforcing the need for this habit of indoor treadmill walking. Now I need to move it earlier in the day. Will be working on that shift in the coming week.

    OMG, and I thought it was cold here! That's brutal. Glad you have an indoor option!

    Everyone is doing so well on their goals and trackers. I was inspired while reading all of your notes and comments

    My first goal/habit this month is to daily do intentional walking/ exercise/ NEAT activities 💖, and to track in the same way as I did in November.

    December walking/ exercise/ extra NEAT activities:💖 (rest day💤)

    💖-💖-💖
    💤-💖-💖-💖-💖-9-10
    11-12-13-14-15-16-17
    18-19-20-21-22-23-⭐
    ⭐-26-27-28-29-30-🎉

    My second goal/habit this month is to continue to draw colorful flowers on my workout calendar, as well as to track here the days that I do something intentional toward maintaining and also preventing my long time friend "paper tiger 🐯" from finding places to play or hide in.

    December paper tiger:🐯 (planned day off😄)

    🐯-🐯-🐯
    😄-🐯-🐯-🐯-🐯-9-10

    All is going great!
    Steps up a Lot, more hill climbs 12,000
    Daily lately❣️
    Extra exercises improving
    Food Quality up
    Sat fat Reduced greatly
    Scale down
    Sleeping longer

    If I lose another 2.0 lbs by Jan 1, I will have had a net 0 loss or gain for 2022. Happy!

    162.4
    BMI 24.7< 25 ✅(My weight also dropped to normal on our new scale, which reads higher.) Doubly happy.
    I feel leaner. I feel stronger. I feel GREAT!

    I got into Normal weight & I’m Looking forward to my physical on Dec 9. Success.
    I colored the last plant on my coloring page❣️ I will share it once I have time to
    Log in to MFP on my computer…

    I am excited to use my next coloring page (Penguin/Christmas) for the next 28 days & I’ll continue the $10 per day for the 2nd 28 days until I’ve earned enough for the balance of the course & any additional supplies needed. I have saved a lot of money this month, postponing purchases as I decided what I really wanted to spend my reward money on!

    ♥️
    Maddie

    I’m going to add 15 minutes of mediation daily to my next 28 days goals.

    DH has tested positive for Covid, which is a bit of a spanner in the works. He’s isolating.

    I’m testing negative, so there is that.

    Where there’s a will, there’s a way!

    It’s great to read all your posts and see your successes.

    @MadisonMolly2017 🥰 the way you’re saving money for that course. Here’s to the next 28 days.
