Great progress.

Re 🍫 I can be very single minded with these monthly challenges. It’s not a permanent ban 😜 but needs must! For this month.

@MadisonMolly2017 Walking is one of the best exercises you can do, even at a slow pace. You will get there.

Thank you for the encouragement @TerriRichardson112

And thank you for sharing how you noticed a need & immediately set up a plan. Really inspiring!

Greetings MFP Healthy habit friends

After a Community group membership hiatus and four major surgeries over 15 months where I did not gain any weight and kept up my exercise regimen, only adapted for postop lol- I am Fortunate To greet you again

This month I'm using the MFP intermittent fasting tools from 7 AM to 7 PM

Yes, I have my heart healthy and metabolic friendly nutrition, goals, and exercise plans and those aren't really a problem

It's controlling the FOOD noise at night and some of the neuroendocrine dysregulation that occurs in many folks after dinner. Mouth Hunger has appeal But I am going for internal and external rewards of sticking with my moderate weight loss goal.

And I like to get the calendar check feedback from premium MFP plans in this case a check Mark for adherence to the window for healthy eating time.

This won't be pure luck as I am also working on mindful Eating and being fully present for food.

➡️So for me the healthy eating time with Mindfulness are my dual practice goals for each day

I am already pretty well established with getting steps in and doing gentle yoga or tai chi with moderate strength training- All good for an older adult.

One of my rewards for getting through all this surgery is driving my new hybrid car through the mountain west to California to visit FAMILY. I leave this Thursday.

I already scoped out decent supermarkets and gas stations On the way for a little rest s in case I need to pick something healthy up for myself and of course my car I will need fuel🚙

It's funny, but I usually am much better controlled with eating habits when I am on the road. Maybe because there's no pantry or refrigerator in the car and I only keep a few healthy snacks and lots of water on hand while driving.

I'm not a big sugar/sweet person so that's not an issue. I just love to eat healthy food and I can eat more than my body needs especially later in life when I can't eat like a 30 year old.

I'm inspired by everyone's effort and progress and just getting back on point when setbacks occur.

I find it useful to read over some phrases from changing Eating habits using cognitive behavioral therapy techniques. I took phases from a particular book that I like as a trained Health scientist and Therapist, but I don't think we're supposed to mention mention names of Resources. I'm not sure.

Thank you for being here and take good care. We are worth the journey.
