@hcoleman232 Good job on the flossing 🦷 and strength training! 💪💪 I always had a clear water bottle on my desk when I was working. I’d put a wedge of lemon 🍋 in the bottle and folks would tell me how good it looked. It tasted good, too. Every time I refilled it, the lemon would get a bit more diluted, but it still tasted…

Oh no! @SummerSkier I’m so sorry for the foot injury! Bravo that all your balance work helped you remain upright.

@SummerSkier good going on upping your game on both the balance and flossing! I saw on instagram a suggestion to stand on one leg while brushing your teeth to improve balance, so maybe you could combine balance with flossing. Yes, I’m starting to consider what to do in June.

@TerriRichardson112 sorry your plantar fasciitis is playing you up, I’ve had that and it’s so painful. It made me feel decrepit.

@kizzyann1111, Welcome to the habit Ninjas 🥷. Hydration is so important, so increasing your water intake is a great habit! Tracking your intake is a great way to make yourself accountable. I use a 24 oz. refillable water bottle, but I do lose track of whether this is my second or third refill. @snowshoe072 , Great job on…

Great walk! You must really be stepping out if you can get 2.5 miles during lunchtime. Good plan to rest Friday to be fresh for your 5K @snowshoe072 Thanks for being in my corner! @SummerSkier This is not going to be a smooth and easy ride to success. Definitely a bumpy road! I too have those binge days. I wonder what it…
