I have worked very hard this month to meet my 360 minutes of exercise in 24 days and will have accomplished and then some by the end of the day.

I am still working on carbs but my overall non meat related or reduced meat choices are becoming more pronounced. I am sure this will be a long process to completely get a handle on but as long as I work to reduce animal proteins I will call it success.

I am a person who will be strong again today I will avoid as many unnecessary sweets and poor food selections as possible

I will be kind to me

Welcome first day of winter that means my 100 mile challenge starts will plan on walking to and from the Nissan garage today to drop and pick up our truck that should get me at least 1 mile 🥾

I am active and committed to my health and well-being. Every day in December, I will do either a strength training session or an aerobic treadmill walk.

Have been avoiding the treadmill due to pain, and gym (in my doctor’s office) is closed now until the 3rd of January. Had to go off my immune suppression to get the Bivalent vaccine, and the vaccine itself are kicking my 🍑. Did a 25 minute treadmill walk this morning and felt better by the 10 minute mark. Onwards to kinder days. 🥰

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.

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.

I'm not sure how often I will be posting for the rest of December, however, I plan to continue to remain as active as possible. I am taking the rest of the month off from chasing after Paper Tiger. We both want a break 😄⭐🎉. I wish everyone a Happy, Blessed, and Merry Christmas 🎄🎅🎅❄️🎄.

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. Long May that continue. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Tested negative several times but still suffering from the residual effects

Energy and appetite are still variable, but I’m concentrating on getting a balance diet, and not going mad on the comfort food,

I have lost 6 lbs, altogether, so there is that.

Where there’s a will, there’s a way!

@naxxos512 , I can relate to your goals, especially the sleeping in the workout clothes thing...😁

I am active and committed to my health and well-being. Every day in December, I will do either a strength training session or an aerobic treadmill walk.

Finishing out the month today with this post. My simple focus for December was really helpful to me as the extreme cold weather we experienced was much more manageable with the commitment I made to achieve this. Adding more swimming for January to March in the pursuit of some other life goals but will be keeping at the weight training (and treadmill on non-swimming days).

Wishing everyone a Very Happy New Year!

Hi Everyone!

I am posting my December calendar that reflects my 2 small goals for the month: tracking my food daily and using my happy light. As you see, I was far more successful using my happy light than tracking my food daily. One reason for this is my happy light is super easy to use. It’s on my desk in my home office and I use it every morning when I’m taking my virtual tours on my mini elliptical. I it’s right there in plain sight and a great visual cue to remember to use it.

Tracking my food doesn’t have a visual cue to make it easy to remember. And bluntly, sometimes I have internal resistance to tracking. I’ve now been tracking my food on MFP for 11 years. I wish I didn’t have to track, but my experience with maintenance tells me that when I move too far away from keeping a rough tally of my daily food intake, I start to gain weight. And I have vowed to myself to never have to lose 50 pounds again. So I track.

I really love the “I am” statements so many of you have adopted. I’m going to do that in 2023. Our actions are a reflection of our identity and reinforcing your identity with a personal statement is a great catalyst for increasing the odds that the actions follow.

See you on the January thread!
