Dear Terri, I know you said you’d appreciate “likes” to your post, but I wanted to acknowledge you further. Consistent, Wise, Inspired, Organized, and much more… Your suggestion to focus on today was a supremely good reminder. After almost 4 years of “no problem,” this rough patch was pretty terrifying. It’s what I’ve…

Birder, not bride!! LOL That happened a long time ago ♥️

Continued.. woodpeckers were hilarious. We heard but did not see Ospreys & a Peregrine Falcon OMG! (I’ve become a bride since Feb - pretty exciting) So, tomorrow, I begin again! I have read & re-read ALL of your comments, confidence in my ability to do this, and wise advice. “Thank you” doesn’t seem to be enough. THANK…

Hi Everyone! Wow! What a difference a couple of weeks made! I cannot actually remember a time that my husband took 14 continuous days off from work - likely it was 1988 or so, possibly 1997. It was perfect. We spent time relaxing so he could recover & he did a bunch of deferred maintenance & updated my computer (took A day…

I will NOT give up. I’m going back to basics. This September, I will track my food after I prepare it, but before I eat it. I did it for years. I can do it now. You all made me tear up in the August28 post. Thank you so much! It helped so much to return to your messages. Our son just left today. I told myself I was not…

Aug 27 Memorial service with food The Birthday Brunch for my dad’s bday Not a good day- no tracking Inner thighs are sore. The Quest 2 tricked me into side slide jumps AND quite a few fast squats!!! All while having fun❣️❣️❣️ Forced myself not to do it today in the hope all will heal by tomorrow. Took an hour walk instead…

Aug 1-27… 27 hours

The Quest 2 is worth every dollar! My grown son (visiting) and I loaded it up, and had a blast learning how it works, taking hilarious videos of each other as we each took turns…we laughed & laughed & laughed! I am totally hooked! The arm/shoulder I broke in 2018 is complaining a little this AM but I’m hopeful these…

@jamcnewman You’re welcome AND I am very inspired by your “I am ..” statement “I am a planner who pre-tracks her daily food consumption.” I have found the “I am a person…” Statements to be the most effective in changing a habit is difficult. Reminds me of the person I am/want yo be. Lately: I am a person who dislikes being…

Way to go, @jamcnewman ❣️ Very impressive!

@themedalist !!! My Meta Quest 2 is in its way!! ♥️ My son in the UK & I is getting one, too! He said we could play miniature golf, ping pong, etc. I am beyond excited. Thank you! ALSOmy DIL has trouble getting back to sleep in AM. I gifted her my backup eye mask that you recommended. She loves it, too❣️❣️ It’s really be…

Hi Everyone, Thank you @jamcnewman for your message few days ago. I have been busy with the volunteer job (which should lighten hopefully by end of August) and my husband has been working 7 days a week around the clock (and wakes up middle of night to do more) for many many months. I’ve been lonely. I’ve needed comfort. So…

Aug 3-4 Well, I finally did it. I looked back at how my husband & I had gradually shifted what & how we ste. I then Really looked & was horrified by some of the numbers - Takeout is just Not an option health wise for me, for my health, even more than my weight. I took this in. Realized how quickly it had changed & how my…

@themedalist So, So True!!!! Thank You ♥️

I love your plan @jamcnewman ! I predict SUCCESS, as you even h as ve a back-up Plan w/ your veggie test❣️

Aug 2 Happiness Jar 1. Nice overdue chat with my SIL 2. Watched very noisy birds hoping around inside out camellia tree (lol) through our window. So fun! 3. Happily sorted through a box of papers, recycled a third of them. Placed the others where I can find them 4. A really nice shower & went the extra distance (LOL) with…

July 1-31 36:31 hours walking/hiking 9,038 steps per day on average I’m walking faster!!

I got my exercise & fitness to a level I thought would never be possible, and my cut-veggies-in-morning habit is solid. So, August… I’m tempted by the Happiness Jar from @themedalist ‘s post! I may also come up for one on tracking or calories. Thinking about it So for today, here are my top 10… Aug 1: 1. Had a great time…

Sounds great @Ikellandmay What 10 things will you track?

@jamcnewman Great job, my friend❣️ Both mindfulness & sleep are so important! Maybe the most important as they give us the energy for our exercise & assist with good habits & decision making around our food! You should be extremely proud & pleased❣️💃🎉😘

I’d say those are all significant wins! Bravo🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Good job tending to your ankle! And I’m curious what you think has created the upswing in your hunger? Again, great job modifying your plan to foster your success! Have a great next week❣️

Part 2: Thank you @themedalist ❣️ This July, I will: 1) burn 600 active calories per day on average. My monthly avg is 681 per day. Plantar fasciitis held me back 5 days, but I’m pleased! With my avg over the 19 days so far!✅ 2) Keep food where it has been. Yep. But I’m Actually reducing it gradually over time!!✅ 3) Talk…

@beabria How’s it going? Any successes to share? @bigbossallie What’s one habit you have improved this month so far?!! @joaniecard How’s the water & tracking going? What strategies have you developed to be successful at one or both of your goals?! @TwistedSassette I love your 3rd goal! I’ve thought of doing that myself.…
