7 days of Success! My habits are working as is the tracker. Interestingly, the tracker was MOST important in the beginning. Now I’ve figured out meals/timing and macros, so things are swimming along. I will post my coloring page soon! Scale dropped further to 165!

Thank you @knotmel My new approach - targeting & identifying things that are not working is based on an article I read about “failures.” I am shocked that once I removed the shame & just openly listed what was tripping me up, my attitude changed & solutions appeared. I believe “The Key” to Maintenance is having built the…

@KacyCarpe Your additional seconds per day for meditation strategy makes perfect sense to me! I call it “fooling my brain” If I shift my behavior gradually, it doesn’t seem to react as much! Bravo! I’m glad everything’s going so well for you!

Some of you who were here a couple of years ago will remember our inventive tracking/coloring approaches. I decided to go back to it. I am tracking quite a few things, but if I hit them all in a day, I get to color one of the plants (and shade the date at bottom.) I am also going to give myself a gift of $280 if I am…

Welcome @LisaKNichols! We are so happy to have you here! Everyone tracks in different ways. Some use icons in their posts to indicate success. Look through some of the other posts to see a variety of methods. I decided to go back to what works for me best, I am using the sheet below for the next 4 weeks to track a number…

I can’t eat at potlucks or buffets (medical). My family & friends know that & as someone above said, no one even cares. I either eat before or bring my own. Recently, I broke this rule at a family gathering. I still can’t believe that I’d been so quarantined that I only realized afterwards. I ate a ton. I definitely am…

@donna25trinity Life can be tough for “extra understanding” folks like this. I wish I had tackled situations like this more directly rather than “playing nice.” I know it increased my stress, blood pressure, unhappiness, etc. I wish I had realized the impact it was having on me. I put up with it because I LOVED my students…

It’s like the artist in us both! Are you making any art these days? Congratulations on your many accomplishments & thank you for inspiring me & so many…

@texasgardnr What a great way to reward yourself for dealing with the dastardly paperwork! I use the “5 minute” Technique. Grab papers, set timer for 5 minutes. Then stop or continue as I wish. Once I got through ALL my papers a la Marie Kondo, paper has been very easy to keep under control., @BMcC9 what a great strategy…

Hi @donna25trinity Sometimes I modify my habits during the month if I was too ambitious (or not ambitious enough.) Make your habit list workable for you!
