I’m glad to help this great group! I hope I do a good job.
For me, this month has been centered around a big event - a ball this weekend. I’ve been working on cleaning house and preparing for my sister to visit for the ball.
It was wonderful!
For the second half of the month, I plan to bike 40 mile on my spin bike.
To accomplish that goal, I will bike 1-2 miles each day.

I just LOVE this photo! I bet you had a ball at the ball!1 -
I was a member of this group in November 2022 when I wrote this:
This November I will daily
1. Be in bed by midnight.
2. Exercise at least 20 minutes daily.
3. Plan and prelog my meals for at least 1 day ahead, possibly more.
Each week I will
1. Research a new vegetarian meal, shop for it and prepare it.
2. Clean one kitchen cabinet or drawer(may not help my weight, but will do wonders for my mental health).
It looks like a good idea and I'm ready to try again. I will start with only the daily 3. That will be pretty hard for me right now. But I WILL do my best. I will practice the rest of this week, and I WILL do all 3 things daily starting Sunday1 -

It was too late when I started yesterday to exercise, but I quickly prelogged for today. In bed about 11:30. Slept well. A good start.3

I was so tired yesterday because of lack of sleep the night before. I didn't eat as healthy as I should have, but I didn't go as crazy as I might have. No exercise. I did prelog. I was in bed by 11pm.0

@Bella_Figura , you are doing so well! Hydration, reining in snacks, and adding movement/exercise - all foundational habit. I need to look up Zwift workouts. Yay for a positive hospital appointment for your husband.
@Corina1143 , prelogging is such a great idea. As for sleeping, I’m an insomniac, so I figure if I’m in bed, I’ve done my due diligence toward my sleep. It does help.

Friday and Saturday, prelogged, in bed early.
Today was supposed to be my first real day. I have prelogged tomorrow. I plan to be in bed before midnight. But I cannot make myself get up and exercise. Would someone tell me how to make myself get up and get going.

@Corina1143 , getting up and exercising is hard especially if you’re facing a chilly morning and your bed is warm and cozy. I have no special cure to the issue. Try different strategies.
I’ve recently started stretching in bed. This morning I spent about 10 minutes in bed and in my bedroom stretching and doing some squats, push-ups, etc.
If your workout means going outside, have your workout clothes ready, or even sleep in your workout clothes.
Make an appointment with a friend or group, so you have to do it. (My meet ups twice a week are a highlight of my week).
Take a dog for a walk, and you’ll soon be having daily walks because the dog will wake you and make you go. 🤣 I know 🐕
I got the 40 miles on the bike done for the last half of this month. My spin bike has been a wonderful addition to my workouts.
