Awesome August of Healthy Habits!

Name and Claim Your Healthy Habit!
Do you have Imposter Syndrome? Lots of people do. I am certainly filled with feelings of inadequacy about my skills. This month I want to challenge you to name your skills and claim them.
You don’t need superpowers! After all, Batman just decided that he was a hero crime fighter and started doing heroic things!
Do you run? Then you’re a runner! 🏃
Do you play an instrument? You’re a musician! 🎹 🎶🎸
Do you move around to music? You’re a dancer! 💃 🕺
Do you try to eat healthy food? You’re a health nut! 🤣(Seriously, there doesn’t seem to be a positive term for this)!
Do you do strength training? You’re a bodybuilder! 💪 (I know it’s a specific sport, but I like the idea of building my body.
Do you do yoga ? You’re a yogi! 🧘
So how can you gain the confidence to claim you name? Use your imagination to help you devise that confidence.
I am sharing this terrific method that @MadisonMolly2017 posted a few years back :
💦🌊💧🏝
This month, I invite you to dive into a fantastic visualization technique that can revolutionize the way you approach your healthy lifestyle goals. 🧠💪
Introducing the "I am a person who" visualization technique! 🌟
🌱 What is it?
This technique involves tapping into the incredible power of your imagination to reshape your mindset.
How does it work?
1️⃣ Identify a habit, skill, mindset you’d like to embody.
2️⃣ Now think of someone you know who does this thing or embodies this attitude effortlessly.
3️⃣ Then take a minute to imagine yourself with that same mindset, confidence, habit, etc.
See yourself making healthy choices effortlessly, enjoying nutritious meals, and engaging in regular exercise.
Immerse yourself in this visualization, embracing the emotions and sensations of being that person.
4️⃣ Now, create an “I am a person who” statement while in this visualization state.
“I am a person who doesn’t eat sweets” while picturing my friend Terry who dislikes sweets.
“I am a person who prioritizes my rest & sleep” while picturing my friend Milo. Strict 9PM bedtime.
“I am a person who eats only healthy foods” while picturing my kidney donor.
5️⃣ Consider placing an “I am a person” sticky note on your car dashboard, bathroom mirror, kitchen cabinet, etc.
I successfully weaned myself off chocolate & restaurant desserts in the past with this technique. I pictured my healthiest friends. I actually end my I am a person statements with their name.
“I am a person who does not eat desserts like Karen.”
“I am person who prioritizes my daily walks like Marianne.”
Try it! It’s very magical!

This is my journal entry this morning.
It is difficult to divorce one habit from those already established. This one change is already rippling out into other areas. This is a catalyst for further positive change.
I am keeping a record of how this experiment goes over the days ahead.4 -
I need to study more and will add my August tomorrow. but I am interested in what "recall yesterday in reverse" details.
Maybe @MadisonMolly2017 will join us with a small habit for August as well!

I am a bodybuilder! That means I’ll train and eat like someone concerned about gaining strength. This month I plan to strength train, doing the 5 Big Lifts 3 times per week . I will do cardio like walking or cycling the other days, and will take one day per week off exercise (except yoga/flexibility. I will also follow my strength training with a high protein meal. So every day will be part of my strength training program.
I am a woman who strength trains regularly to maintain muscle like my friend Jenn.
This weekend is Costume College, so I’ll start my strength program officially on Monday, August 4.

I am an Athlete! That means I train and eat like someone concerned with increasing fitness, energy and strength and not like someone monitoring the scale.
My program consists of morning runs from 1-5 miles and "something" in the late afternoon after work - a walk, a strength training or tennis. This is a new add since my challenge in late May of injury. I did successfully streak morning runs in July and for August I want to add another session to continue my return to fitness.
I will judge my success by my VO2max which starts at 39.9 today (after a low of 39.4) and a high earlier this year of 42.6 (pre injury) and also my resting HR which should be consistently below 60 and starts the month at 61 from previous this year lows of 55.

So my biggest reward for doing afternoon walks again is getting to see so much beauty out there and try to take photos of it. I think the 2 on the lower left of the cloud and the rose are my favorites from the walk altho the sunflower is a classic!
Friday Aug 1 ☀️

I am a bodybuilder.
I WILL strength train 6 days a week, alternating muscle groups to allow adequate recovery time.
I WILL focus on my diet to include more vegetables.
I WILL drink more water to keep my body hydrated.
On my free day I will celebrate with a small treat.

Hi habit ninjas 🥷 ! My visit with my sister is great! Costume College is wonderful ! Love all your posts !

I love everyone's goals. You are all so inspiring. I especially enjoyed the beautiful pictures @SummerSkier. Everything around here is getting crunchy due to the heat.
I also loved the interesting journal entry @TerriRichardson112. That is very cool how it spills into other habits. I enjoyed hearing about the workers. So glad for modern machines. My husband runs front end loaders and bull dozier and such. It is fun to watch.
@snowshoe072 I love listening to the guitar. You will have fun with that one.
@77tes What is the 5 big lifts and the Costume College? Both sound interesting.
@hcoleman232 I am interested in hearing more about which exercises you are doing or what you are followiing for 'alternating muscle groups'. I have looked at that in the past, but got so many for each area, I got overwhelmed. Do you lift to exhaustion or just a good workout? Thank you for tips.
I am an active person! I live a very active life like I dream of full of fun, energy, and endurance. My goal is to be active for at least 30% of my day with activities throughout the day. Hopefully throw in some stairs and a variety of activities that I have been wanting to do.
My first day of being active was pretty good, but out of my regular routine. I stayed up really late (1:30 am) the night before which always throws things off the next day. I did okay, but was hungrier than usual but stayed in calories zone, barely.
Aug 1-31% active, 5 out of 13 hours, 16 flights of stairs. My favorite activity: swimming with the grandkids.

I went for my afternoon stroll a little early today and almost got caught in a microburst tstorm but it did not materialize. I was sort of looking forward to it but only a few LARGE drops along the way. Did make for some impressive clouds and the lens on my phone was pretty fogged up on all my photos. 🤨🙃

@Learningmoments I found an old Joyce L Vedral workout book. The 12-minute total-body workout. My kinda workout! Time saving and energy efficient! The workouts are 3 sets of 10 for each exercise using 3lb weights applying isometric and dynamic tension. The workouts are as follows:
Monday
- Chest: presses & flyes
- Shoulders: front raises & pee wee laterals
- Triceps: kickbacks & extensions
Tuesday
- Thighs: squats & lunges
- Buttocks: standing butt squeezes & angled leg lifts
- Abdominals: sit ups & leg raises
Wednesday
- Back: back laterals & leaning pulls
- Biceps: alternate curls & concentrations
- Calves: seated raises
Thursday
- Chest: crossovers & pec squeezes
- Shoulders: side laterals & bent laterals
- Triceps: kneeling triceps pulldowns & pushdowns
Friday
- Thighs: extensions & leg curls
- Buttocks: scissors & feather kick ups
- Abdominals: leg-ins & crunch twist
Saturday:
- Back: bent rows & lay pulldowns
- Biceps: preacher curls & simultaneous curls
- Calves: standing raises
Sunday: semi rest day
- Buttocks: any 2 buttocks exercises
- Abdominals: any 2 abdominal exercises
In the past I’ve used heavier weights so I’ll see how this workout goes and if needed I’ll make adjustments. Hope this info is helpful.
I’m a bodybuilder! Each day I will focus and visualize the muscles I’m working getting stronger and more defined!

@hcoleman232 Wow, thanks so much! I will have to look up some of these, but it sounds like a lot of variety which I like.
@SummerSkier Wow! Those photos are so beautiful. I LOVE to hula hoop dance right before a storm. The wind starts blowing and you can feel the energy in the air.
@TerriRichardson112 Great job! I love a good morning routine. Mine doesn't always work out, but it still has the basic structure for a good start. My night time routine needs some work.
I feel like I need to log the morning after because it seems to change by time I go to bed. I am logging several things from my FitBit. I know some of these numbers affect other things, but I don't quite understand those relationships. I welcome any remarks, suggestions, observations, etc you have for me. Thank you.

Aug 1—31% active, 5 out of 13 hours, 16 flights of stairs. Cardio load: 27, Active zone minutes: 62, Energy burned: 2184 calories. My favorite activity: swimming with the grandkids.
Aug 2—29% active, 7/13 hours, 20 floors, Cardio Load: 14, Active zone minutes: 87, Energy burned: 1845 calories. Favorite activity: Swimming with 2 of the grands and a few minutes of mini-trampoline.

@Learningmoments I have a fitbit also and it was pretty crazy when I got injured and then when I was inactive and now ramping up again how "confused" it got on the cardio load stats. LOL. But I think the energy burned is your total TDEE so chasing after those grands! wow.😂👏😂👏

@hcoleman232 that is very similar to what I did for a few months. Only I picked a random video for handweights workout for 10 minutes and followed along. I used those "heavy hands" from the 80's… LOL. I still use them and do some after I run but it is not 10 min which believe me can take me to muscle overload quickly. I like that you found a good plan to follow!!!!✅

Today was family time. A lot of sitting, but I got to do some waist hooping so I feel really good about that. @SummerSkier I would love to hear how the cardio load got confused. I know when I am really active, I drive it crazy because it keeps telling me I am over training. I know that it has a setting if you want to recover, maintain, or buid/increase cardio. I also notice that my percentage of activity is dependent upon what time I go to sleep. This may cause me to go to bed instead of read or play games so late. Seems like lately, I just want that quiet time to do what I want to do. I guess that might be a sign I need a special time for these activities. Yes, I think you are right that the Energy Burned is the TDEE. I like the way it gets transferred to Chronometer where I log my food. It breaks it down by BMR, Exercises, and tracker activity. It seems more informative. Thank you for bringing this up. I may track those numbers instead of just the Energy Burned.

@Learningmoments well I was very active and then I was not and then I was trying to so it was cardio all over the place and even if I set it to maintain it thought I was a slug. I do not have a "recover" setting just maintain or build. Right now I started runnin some miles again and it thinks I am about to drop dead from over training….😂😂🤨
So 3 days in Vo2 max has increased to 40.2 yesterday from 39. whatever it was so I guess that means improvement. And my sleep and resting hr are better. I think my body mostly missed running. Now tell that to my knee please?

Costume College was great! It’s a convention for folks who make and/or wear costumes. Some do historical costumes like me, some do Cosplay. Everyone enjoys learning and sharing their passion for sewing and costuming. The creativity is amazing.
I didn’t make any new costumes this year, but wore 40s trousers I made years ago with a purchased blouse on Friday. I wore a 1920s one hour dress (it took me a month) on Saturday, and a modern purchased Yukata (kimono) on Sunday.
Friday- 1940s
Saturday- 1920s
Sunday - Yukata (kimono)@TerriRichardson112 , I love your mornings focus goal! I’ll have to look up those monks! I love your affirmations - so true! I love your He-Man salute! What a beautiful journal! Recalling the previous day sounds like a wonderful idea.
@snowshoe072 , What terrific synonyms for guitar player, walker, and I really like healthy foodie! Let me know how sticky notes work for you.
@Learningmoments, Great active goal and affirmation! The Big Five Lifts are 5 compound lifts which combined give a whole body workout. They are:
deadlift
bench press
squat
shoulder press
pull-ups. (I don’t have a bar so instead I do bent over single arm rows).5 set of 5 reps
@SummerSkier , Those pictures are so nice! Beautiful! I’m so glad you’re back at running and you definitely are an athlete!
@hcoleman232 , Howdy! You are definitely a bodybuilder! I love your strength program. I’ll see if I can find that book. It sounds like a good one. Oh it’s available on hoopla, so I can borrow it when I have time to read it. I like the idea of 12 minute workouts.
@donna25trinity , what a wonderful plan - from morning to evening.
I am a bodybuilder! That means I’ll train and eat like someone concerned about gaining strength. This month I plan to strength train, doing the 5 Big Lifts 3 times per week .

@SummerSkier Lol, that is what I figured. Mine does the same sort of thing, but not because I have an injury. I am just not consistent so it either tells me I am overdoing it or undertraining. Where do you find VO2? I have only found SpO2. I think those are two different things. There is a lot of great info on FitBit. I enjoy seeing all the data. That is wonderful that VO2, sleep, and resting heart rate are better. I believe our bodies do crave exercises we love. I hope your knee gets better soon. Keep up the great work!
@77tes Costume College sounds like fun. I love your pictures. You do beautiful work. Thank you for the info on the Big 5.
@TerriRichardson112 Looks like you are doing great with your 5 habits for your morning routine. I love that each is one minute. No excuses. Great idea.
Today was busy with swim classes. I did go shopping after that, but not much else except focused on 250 steps the rest of the hours. I still missed a couple of hours, but did well.

@Learningmoments Consistency comes with practice. Promise small, deliver big. I promised 1 minute on each, but it usually stretches beyond that 😂 it gives a satisfying sense of exceeding the minimum. Although I’m focusing on this process, I am still doing all the other habits I have already developed. It’s an ongoing process.
@77tes
Love your Costume College. It looks a really fun event.@SummerSkier You’re making great progress. Keep up the good work.

dang I can't keep up with you ladies! I love the Kimono costume. ALL of them are beautiful but that is my favorite @77tes
@Learningmoments I think the VO2max comes from my watch and not fitbit with only give HRV. (yes I use both. LOL)
@TerriRichardson112 I still want to hear more about recalling yesterday in reverse. ✅
So yesterday was the first day I felt a BIG tug to NOT do anything after work and I had to force myself out the door for a mile walk. But I am glad I did. It was actually cooler than it has been due to some storms that came thru (in AUG!) in the morning altho it was a little buggy.
So mission complete 4 days in. My body is complaining (yes the dang knee feels sprained but I think at 66 almost 67 it is more the norm for things to hurt than not). So I am just going with it. A lot of times if I ignore the 'things' they seem to quiet down and let me get on with my workouts.
And my reward. The little pink weeds were popping up all over with the rain.

@SummerSkier It’s a memory exercise. You start with the last thing you did before bedtime, and work backwards, remembering everything that happened from the day before.

@TerriRichardson112 , So true about how the tiny habit of 1 minute helps by giving yourself permission to do a little thing. You often do more. It’s like when I started journaling with a tiny goal of one word. I don’t think I’ve ever only written a word, a single sentence definitely. I like your remembering backwards plan. I’ve been doing that since I didn’t journal much during Costume College but I definitely want to recall everything that. I just need to find a bit more time for my journaling.
@hcoleman232 , I love those emojis! I’m stealing the idea. and your mantra of it’s only 12 minutes is terrific. Go you!
@SummerSkier , wow beautiful photos of beautiful flowers. Since the heat has set in, only well manicured yards have any blooms except for the beautiful Crepe Myrtle trees.
