Welcome Betsy, hope you really enjoy the group and glad to see someone willing to join us mid month. My understanding is that if you keep participating to the end of the May on the daily threads, you will be in the list of Champions. Later in the month they will post a link to sign up for the June group, and then you will…

✅ Exercise: 30 minutes walking ✅ Calories ✅ Tracked 0 passdays used ( ) Can´t think of any clear milestone or incident as an NSV this month. I have been noticing an overall increase in my level of energy and have been eagerly doing the type of home/garden projects that my husband and I have been putting off for years. I…

@lesdarts180 I listened to this YouTube video this morning, especially to the part I have cued it to (around 34:00) of this interview with Liz Josephson. Shortly after that I read your comment and could not help feeling a stab of pain for the way you are punishing yourself. I know that you would never talk about us the way…

✅ Exercise: 45 minutes swimming ✅ Calories ✅ Tracked 0 passdays used ( ) I have been thinking a lot lately about what I read in ¨Atomic Habits¨ about findings of the high rates of heroine addiction among soldiers in Vietnam during the war and how surprisingly few of them struggled with addiction to heroine when their…

@Mrs_Hoffer I think I would find an eye issue like that to shoot my anxiety through the roof. I am praying for you.

@Caroline_slowandsteady All kombucha starts out with sugar (or honey) to ferment. The longer it is fermented the less sugar is in the product consumed, down to even zero sugar. I did find one commercially made that is Keto but I have not tried it. They explain on this page how they make it…

✅ Exercise: 20 minutes walking, lots of yardwork. Built a raised bed with cinderblocks and mixed and filled the bed with a mix of compost, vermiculite and peat using a tarp, wheelbarrow, rakes and shovels. ✅ Calories ✅ Tracked 0 passdays used ( ) A good day for me often looks like> 1st meal around 11 or noon> Sauteed…

✅ Exercise: 35 minutes swimming. ✅ Calories ✅ Tracked 0 passdays used ( ) It is true that our habits are so important. Right now I am reading James Cleary´s ¨Atomic Habits.¨ It is excellent. I am starting to notice my habits more and make a plan for habit change for a lifestyle that is healthier and more organized.

✅ Exercise: Lots of yardwork. My fitbit says I got almost 18,000 steps in, but I believe it over counted all the arm movements from cutting up an enormous amount of boxes for composting. I still think my arms are going to sore tomorrow. ✅ Calories ✅ Tracked 0 passdays used ( ) My how--- 1. I am consistently tracking what I…

@victorious55 Exceptionally good opener today. Very inspiring. I really identify with this also. My successful weightloss in the past has always centered around my desire to be healthy. Then for several years I went into ¨I don´t care¨ mode as I was struggling through life and telling myself I did not want to live to be…

@snowshoe072 I read this excellent (and funny) book years ago and some of it really stuck with me. He is person who did research about eating behavior and how much more is consumed, with less satisfaction, when we are doing other things. I highly recommend it.…

✅ Exercise: 30 minutes walking ✅ Calories ✅ Tracked 0 passdays used ( ) I don´t have a strategy for keeping my hands busy, other than that I use a glass of water for a substitute for snacks at the movies or at parties where others are snacking.

@KCJen I wanted to tell you I appreciate your long posts where you allow us to see what you have been thinking about. There might be some days where I don´t have time to read everyones detailed posts, but I really appreciate them on days I do have the time. I have also thought about that whole issue of how to count…

✅ Exercise: 40 minutes swimming ✅ Calories ✅ Tracked 0 passdays used ( ) Maybe around 3. I have tracked during the years 2000-2001, 2008-2012, and for close to a year now. I still tend to record everything in the late in the middle and end of the day instead of record as I go. And I rarely pre-log anymore even though I…

@KCJen I have my official calorie goal set to my maintenance level (which is why staying under my calories is the least difficult of the three things I track for UAC,) but I let myself eat below this on as many days as I want to in order to lose weight. I do really want to lose weight so on many days I am at least 500…

✅ Exercise: 20 minutes walking ✅ Calories ✅ Tracked 0 passdays used ( ) For me, eating while celebrating something has at least two levels, influenced by the social context. I am an introvert who is often out of my comfort zone with the number of people and the level of stimulation at parties or other gatherings for…

✅ Exercise: 3 walks today, about 11,000 steps ✅ Calories ✅ Tracked 0 passdays used ( ) I am very conscious of increasing the diversity of plants in my diet, but not very conscious specifically of color coordination.
