Very time poor at the moment. I am preparing some work for a desolate next week of work from my Monday Painters group.
From tomorrow we are looking after DYD’s elderly dog for a week. She is playing in the 8 ball Pool Nationals in England.

February was a good month for me. ‘Right This Minute’ has been very successful and will be added to my Solid Habits.
March I will …..
I have rather a lot on this month so am concentrating on consolidating my Solid Habits this month, particularly tracking CI < CO, staying under calorie goal, and exercise. I am currently maintaining at around 7 lbs below my upper weight limit.
However, I have also decided to resurrect my Happiness Jar. I did this with a friend a few years ago, and still have the notes I put in it then.

Just read my earlier post. I am preparing a display 😝 darned autocorrect changed my typing and I didn’t notice.
Re Happiness Jar: I haven’t made time to put notes in the jar, but I am noting them in my journal, so counting that instead.

It’s been a long winter. Sorry to find that the three of you have been having a trying time. It’s good that you beginning to feel better.
It’s good to see the dedication to their wellbeing of the members here.

Gotta luv autocorrect!!
See it didn’t pick up “luv”, my month is going well good increase in more meals with out meat chicken or fish can’t say I miss them too much maybe it will be more of a challenge once BBQ season arrives.
Completed my challenge early and remain committed to my health and wellness each day,5 -
Starting wt 169
♥️Mar 23 calories✅ 3 Meals with 4hr min spacing ✅ 10Ksteps✅ No snacks ✅ track all✅ 6oz freggies at each meal ✅
Painted ✅
Rewarded with drop on scale…down to what I was a week ago 167.9
It was ridiculously difficult to not snack at bedtime last night. 1) when I was packing up things to go upstairs to bedroom. Realized I had dried paint on hands still, went into kitchen and felt strong cravings again. The paint took 60-90 seconds to patiently take off as I struggled - Angel devil but as I dried my hands it evaporated…ihad read somewhere cravings last 90 seconds - recommendation was to distract yourself. Well, apparently it worked.
But the fun was not over…
Upstairs watching show with husband - twice very strong cravings. After the second of these I asked if he could heap some praise on me for not going down to get some nuts. He did
And I reminded myself that it’s just a habit. After show, intense craving. I reminded myself it’s a craving, I’ll sleep better if I don’t succumb, that I’m not actually hungry…At least 5 severe cravings between 9Pm & 11:15 😮😮😮😮😮 in total.
And here’s the best part. Woke up at 8AM after a great sleep & still wasn’t hungry by 10:30 AM…but had to eat with some medications.
It will be interesting to see how today goes with my raw nut (and healthy cereal) snacking.
Two ideas if I can’t learn to manage this:
Use the “Kitchen Closed” method
Have husband move raw nuts to a hidden location until I have overcome this habit.

Finding myself slacking a bit or it’s a OA flare my structured exercise is waning I keep at my tai chi meditation and some core work but the knees are screaming again more so early more and at night.
Trying another meatless meal for dinner a African red bean and sweet potato stew will let you know if it’s a keeper or not.3 -

Hallloooo fellow goal setters! "This March I will..." post a comment on this thread before the month is over! LOL
I have had a great many pressing concerns on my plate and little time for checking in, but I'm pleased to report that my set of small, stacked habits has been a solid foundation to keep me grounded. No stress eating! No stress drinking! Keeping up with exercise (just 10 minutes a day, but more than nothing) and sleep schedule and hydration and good food choices.
Plus, for the bonus win: I have not felt super stressed out, overwhelmed, or out of control, even though life has piled it on pretty heavily. I mean, wow. That is huge for me. My new little habit is to change my language. I don't "have" to do all these things; I "get" to. I'm not "trying to keep my head above water"; I'm "surfing the tide." Little shifts along these lines have made a big difference in my capacity to handle everything.
All in all, this month has been a good reminder that small shifts can lead to big changes—including, oh yeah, that I'm down five pounds!

March — focus areas
My habits in March (eat the rainbow of veggies; mindful meditation; daily housekeeping task) have really helped me through this difficult month. I used a paper tracker for most of the month and transcribed those results here.
Only a few days to go in March and I am thinking now about my focus for April. 💭💡

Hi Everyone! I have just read through your posts to get caught up. @KacyCarpe, I love the little word shift from “have to” to “get to”. “Have to” is an obligation. “Get to” is an opportunity.
I hope @texasgardnr and @jamcnewman are feeling better. You’re right, @TerriRichardson112, it’s been a long winter. Enough snow has melted in my backyard that I can resume my outdoor walking. I still have a lingering cough, but I feel much better and walking outdoors always boosts my spirits. Tomorrow is my first day back in the office in over three weeks.
Well done, @77tes and @MadisonMolly2017, even when it’s challenging. Reigning in snacking is really hard!7 -
