Day? So it’s a little over a week since I last posted. I feel sad and embarrassed about that but at least I didn’t let it go yet another day. I’m think I’m going to restart my clock. I am grateful for the support I’ve received. I am holding on to the progress I’ve made and the lessons I’ve learned. I hope I will keep…

Day 30 - January 20 The kindness and inspiration of everyone here is humbling. Thank you so much for your support. I had a stressful work experience today but did not turn to food so that is a plus. I actually tried meditation instead. It didn’t completely get rid of my craving but it did get me through the moment. That’s…

Day 28 January 18. 4 weeks. I’m disappointed that I have stumbled. 2 weeks ago I was feeling great because I already had 2 weeks of progress. It seems like since then every day it’s been a struggle. Not feeling very successful now. The only thing worse would be quitting all together so I continue to check in and hope to…

Day 27 - January 17 I missed a couple of days Checking in but I’m back. Eating and logging meals are going better. The rest of my routine has not been so great. Somehow I’ve got a find a way to do it all if I want to see progress. Fresh start tomorrow hopefully.

Day 24 -January 14 On the plus side I had healthy meals today and actually started tracking in the app. Unfortunately I overslept and did not have time for PT exercises or meditation. In the past I’ve been able to weave that stuff back into my day later. No luck with that today. Tomorrow’s gonna be a bit easier workday so…

Wow! You all are really inspiring! I’ve been feeling so bad about my slip ups. I didn’t really take it in that it’s been 3 weeks. Thank you for honestly sharing your experiences and offering your support. I am back on track with my morning routine and had a healthy breakfast and lunch today. Not so great With dinner but…

Day 22 starting my third week January 12. Definitely been rocky the last few days but I’m getting back into the swing of things. I’m eating healthy meals again. The next step is to actually track them in the app LOL I am need to be much more consistent with that.
-
Day 21 Jan 11 2 out of 3 healthy meals today. Thanks for the support!
-
Day 20 - January 10. So my first threshold for “checking in “is to literally open the app and say something :-) I I have even missed a few of those goals but for the most part I’ve been successful. Beyond that I hope to be able to acknowledge my success with my morning routine. My check-In g goal after that is to be able…

Day 19 Jan 8 Starting to feel a little silly about the checking in. Just trying to keep the commitment to myself of doing it so here I am. Not much good news to report. For the first day in my 2 1/2 weeks I did not do any stretching or meditating. Had a decent lunch but an unhealthy dinner. At least I made my goal of…

Day 18 Jan. 7. Forgetting to check in last night has prompted me to try and post a message earlier in the day. I did get on the scale and things are a bit stalled. Not entirely surprising given the extra calories I drank last night. It was a success to get on the scale when I feared "bad news." I try to remember it's just…

Day 17 - Oops I thought that the first day I skipped checking in would be a conscious choice and running out of time or something like that. Not true. I got so distracted and then exhausted that I totally forgot to check in last night. I really wanted to check in because I thought it would be important to acknowledge that…

Day 16 - January 5 Thanks for the support! Continuing with my meditation and stretching. I’m not quite ready for long walks yet but my knee is feeling stronger every day :-) Healthy eating went well today. I also bought some great options for healthy dinners all week.

Day 15, Monday, January 4. The beginning of my third week. I’m sticking with my stretching and meditation. My knee is feeling a little better. Ate pretty healthy most of the day. I’m happy I started two weeks ago. At the time it seemed a little crazy but the new year feels less daunting now that I’ve got some of my routine…
-
Day 14. Two weeks already! That’s the best news today. I wasn’t feeling well and it was tough to do anything. Later in the day I did my meditation and stretching and made a healthy dinner. This is a good reminder that there will be ups and downs. I’m glad I was able to stick with a few of my daily goals. I hope I wake up…

Day 13 - I’m starting to notice more flexibility from my morning stretches. I’m actually doing PT exercises so I can enjoy longer walks. For some reason calling it “stretching” sounds like more relaxing than “PT exercises” LOL. Healthy eating is on track today as well.

Day 12 – January 1, 2021 I was tempted to take a “vacation” from my morning routine because of the holiday. I decided to think of it as an indulgence instead. Sometimes during the work week I’m rushed and this morning I could take my time with my meditation and stretching and cook some really healthy meals. So, off to a…

Day 11. So it’s here. The Eve of the new year. I haven’t had a lot of progress with weight loss but I am still glad I started toward my goal 11 days ago (rather than waiting until tomorrow). I’m starting to establish some healthy habits. I look forward to continuing on this journey in 2021.
-
Day 10. I almost forgot to post today! Thanks for the reminder to not throw the day away because of one mistake. Things went a little better today: Meditating and stretching in the morning and healthy eating until dinner time. Part of me can't wait until the holidays are over. I need to remember over the next few days of…

Day 9 On the plus side I am checking in and I added a bit of stretching to my morning routine. After that things went down hill. McDonald’s for lunch. Oh well, tomorrow is another day.
-
Day 8 - beginning week 2. Overall, I lost 1 pound in the last week. Given the holiday eating that occurred, I am actually amazed and feeling great about this accomplishment. This encourages me to continue with the same morning routine and to add in more healthy meals this week.
-
Day 7 My morning routine continues. Had the last of the holiday leftovers (only one portion). I made sure to have healthy food in the fridge. I’m looking forward to eating healthy tomorrow.
-
Day 6. I got back to meditation today. Added a bit of stretching recommended for some physical therapy on my knee. I hope it leads to more comfort with walking. I had a healthy lunch. Dinner not so much. Still feeling the effects of the holiday. Hopefully by Monday my healthy eating will be back on track full time. I am at…

Day 5 Thanks for the inspiring words! Simple but challenging. Keep logging. (To paraphrase) So true! Well, I did not go back for seconds. I am checking in. That's about all I can say in terms of "progress" today. I plan to get back to meditating and healthy eating tomorrow.
-
Day 4. Checking in on Christmas Eve...so that's good...Eating...well...I did not enter my food but I did stop myself from overeating and over drinking. My weight is stable which I will take as a win during a holiday week. I just want to make sure I keep posting. That's my main goal right now. Merry Christmas (Eve) to all…

Day 3. So far so good. Healthy meals and meditation continue. My form of meditation, right now , is "tapping" with the app "the tapping solution". There are many free versions YouTube. if anyone is interested. It's still hard to press "post". Even with the little I've shared, it's hard to be so "public" about this journey…

Hi All: I just reloaded the app to my phone. It's been a really long time since I've used it. With today being the Winter Solstice, it is kind of a "new year" and a perfect 90 days until Spring! I am not a big fan of winter but thought it is a good time to turn my focus toward my health, so here I am. My goal for today was…
