    Began tai chi again continuing with meditation and strength work for my self care as I need to reduce my overall body fat % it’s stuck where I don’t want it to be. It’s not awful but not grand.
    My self care also includes me time for reading, music playing etc.

    I love @MadisonMolly2017 ’s theme for us this month. Self care and self love are foundational to everything we do and what we want to accomplish. We are all magnificent people deserving of love, kindness, respect, and fulfillment. Thank you Maddie for encouraging us to focus on ourselves this month!

    My self care focus this month is to amp up a bit more JOY into my life everyday. Sometimes I get so focused on what I need to accomplish each day, that doing joyful things gets sidelined. Not this month!

    Among my joyful pursuits this month:
    • Weekend cooking segments with my daughter who lives 2000 miles away. We pick a recipe and then spend an evening each making it while we chat on the phone. Last night we made vegetarian shepherds pie.
    • Extra long guitar sessions. I just love playing!
    • Caught up with a friend I hadn’t spoken to in awhile. Made me so happy!

    Here’s my updated tracker Looking forward to more joyful moments each day!

    Things are going well

    I am focusing as of Feb 18 on taking a full set of body measurements each week. This is something I have resisted on my 7+ year Wt loss & maintenance journey.

    Not anymore!

    I earn $10 each week that I complete this for a Clothing Budget I will use when I’ve reconciled my measurements & my ability to maintain at that level.

    I’m pretty excited to have done the first set & look forward to losing 5lbs or so & seeing where the measurements fall.

    It’s definitely adding a kickstart to losing the few pounds I gained over the past 4-5 months

    Feb 18th.
    Doing better illness wise! Had to break down and go to the doctor. I hadn’t been to see my primary doc in a long time and he was shocked/happy/impressed with the weight I’d managed to lose since I’d last seen him. Scheduled a well-care visit to check my barely existent diabetes and high cholesterol, which I dread. Not the diabetes, but the cholesterol. Life got in the way and I let my script lapse so I haven’t taken it in a while. He was understanding (small town doctor that knows/treats whole family) since he knows what I’ve been going through, but we both want to get back on track.

    Starting a new week with hitting my goals! Really focused on my step goals though. Thanks guys! Hope your having a fantastic month so far!!

    @MadisonMolly2017 I love the idea of doing measurements. I avoid measuring myself like the plague, but I’ve gained a good bit from my maintenance level and I know my clothes are not fitting well.

    I always avoided measurements, too, but it has re-invigorated my efforts to lose my extra 3.1lbs and then (Hopefully) go further down to “whittle my middle “ more

    The measurements will
    Help me Order clothes online & to see my progress. I remember the weight coming off slowly but the inches really decreased closer to 152lbs

    Right This Minute
    I am working on being more proactive, using Right This Minute as a spur to encourage me to resist procrastination.
    I’ve been trying it out, and it certainly creates great positive feelings to be able to get started on a task. And once I start, I find that I usually complete the task.

    My goals are finally turning to real habits especially my meditation I look forward to starting my day this way followed by a coffee or two. I find if I can’t accomplish this in the morning my day is out of sorts when this happens I do one before I fall asleep.
    Glad to see everyone working to stay focused.

    This is terrific to hear! Meditation is a wonderful habit to have! Congratulations!

    @TerriRichardson112, what a great concept “right this minute” is! Getting started is usually the hardest part. Once we start continuing on is so much easier.

    More progress on my ”do something joyful” everyday. Today was a nice chat with my daughter as she waited for a flight to a meeting she’s attending this week.
