@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.…

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…

Great month! Congratulations on the weightloss! @donna25trinity! Recap of July - Fasting is a new tool in my healthy habits toolbox. That’s actually one habit I would never have thought I could or would do. I plan to continue to use intermittent fasting, cycling between longer, shorter, and days without fasting. Things I…

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…

@SummerSkier , Bravo for you, especially on the hard days! @snowshoe072 , losing a specific amount of weight over a specific time period is tricky. Sort of playing chicken with the scale and a calendar. But good for you forging ahead! The goal will be achieved! @TerriRichardson112 , Fantastic month of flexibility! 👏 And…

Loving the exercise snack discussion! I may even consider that as a theme for a month in the future (not August since I have that post pretty much ready to go)! Still, if that’s what you want to work on next month, totally go for it. @SummerSkier , hope that dentist appointment went well. I have a filling on an eye tooth,…

@Learningmoments , my mom had a beautiful soprano voice and a subscription to an LP every month, so growing up I was surrounded with music. Then I was an elementary school teacher for about a million years. I really miss singing every day with my class. “We Are Happy People” is an old Sunday School chorus. I sympathize…

@SummerSkier , That day after a feast is always tricky- those cravings need to be forced back into their cage. I’m worried about next weekend. It’s Costume College and my sister will be visiting, so it’s all fun although it’s not about the food. We usually take healthy lunches and snacks and have a nice couple of…

@Learningmoments , thanks for kind words and prayers. 🫂 You and the others in this group are a great encouragement to me. Lucy is pretty cute, but she brings in lots of dirt and dust and goes wild when I try to remedy the situation. So getting her to let me clean is a huge win. @SummerSkier , thanks for all your…

@Learningmoments , hooray for getting the Hoopla app through your library. You’re going to love it. I’m sorry to say that I am getting some training in being resilient in adversity. Frankly, all the habits I’ve been working on for the last couple years are my efforts at self-care in hard times. 3 weeks of fasting done!…

@Learningmoments , my sister does deep water aerobics a lot, and I’ve gone with her when I have visited. Such fun workouts ! Treasure those times with the grandkids! They grow up twice as fast as “regular” kids! Mine are in college now !! How did that happen?! @SummerSkier , I love the bike, I crank it up as fast as I can…

I finally got my exercise done this week. Only 2 strength workouts, but that’s better than 1 or 0. The scale was very good this morning and showed a 7.4 pound loss since January. Of course, the scale will probably take half of that back next week. 😮💨🤣 @Learningmoments , ah I hear you on the run-ons. I also struggled with…

Yesterday was crazy. Very busy day. I had to take my puppy in for an X-ray because she swallowed part of her toothbrush. Fortunately, everything should come out alright. 😉🤣 @donna25trinity , you are doing so great. Inspired by your extra chore goal, I took advantage of the time Lucy was at the vet to give the playroom a…

@snowshoe072 Yippee! Weight moving down 👏, increased exercise 👏, guitar time 🎸 👏. Overall amazing 🤩 🙌
-
@donna25trinity , what a fantastic plan for the week! And already ticking off the items! The book about fasting that I’m listening to suggests using measurements and/or “honesty pants” (a size or two too small) rather than the scale. So on Sunday I pulled a pair of slacks that I haven’t poured myself into for a couple…

@hcoleman232 , I’m so glad that you figured out the issue with your boss! NO one needs that kind of stress ! I love the idea of winding down with a puzzle. Bravo for your weekend walks!

@learningmoments, Hooray for the beach !🏖️ Enjoy ! @SummerSkier , good for doing it every day for 10 days ! 🙌 @TerriRichardson112 , my BIL used to say that the problem with being retired is that you can never take a day off. 🤣 Good job on the flexibility! 👏 One week of fasting done 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 🙌🙌🙌🙌 Living in the Fast(ing) Lane…

@TerriRichardson112 , What a beautiful garden! Clearly a project worth the eating of your time!

@SummerSkier , bravo for you showing up every day! 👏 Of course, that’s the norm for the woman who has been running for years! 🙂 @snowshoe072 , I can imagine my puppy with a guitar. That would not be good! Can you find a spot for the case that would remind you? I’m just throwing stuff out there. I’m not a musician, but my…

@donna25trinity , thanks for joining us! July is hard to get into since the month starts with a major holiday here in the USA. Wow! You’re working on a lot. A checklist sounds like a terrific idea to keep it all straight. Your new work duties sound tough! I didn’t realize you live in the Southern Hemisphere. Those early…
