  • 15 minutes on my stationary recumbent bike ( in place of the Pilates ) this morning last night a good long evening walk as well.
  • where was the pic taken? what part of the world? (As I build up the travel fund, i need to know where to eventually book my "post-pandemic trip - I am keeping a list of many places that have shown up in UAC pics .... )
  • Gratitude List Dec 7 * Good health among all my family * Healthy baby girl safely delivered to my BFF's daughter (BFF is retiring from teaching K-gr2 level in two weeks. This lady was BORN to be a grandmother!) * DH - my mainstay and fitbit finder
  • This 10 minute "good morning energizer" may be more what you mean (same series) I tried it this morning -I will probably switch to this first thing https://youtube.com/watch?v=EDB58_1K0NQ and DH found my fitbit right off the bat ....
  • she has lots of others on her channel, check for something of a length and level that suits you if you like her general style.
  • Update ... of COURSE, DH gets up,sticks his head in the office to ask how the day started .... turns to leave and SPOTS IT ON THE FLOOR in the shadow in front of the cedar chest the pants were on over night ....
  • (Deeeeeep caaaaaalllmmmming breath ) Dec 3 evening - long neighbourhood walk looking at decorated houses Dec 4 pre-work - 7 minute Pilates balance and flexibility workout done.
  • you know you are "habit-hooked" on a gadget when "you KNOW it's going to be a bad day" just because the doodad isn't in your pocket where it is supposed to be ... and you start frantically searching for it ....and you just Can't FIND it!! My fitbit One is missing .... it is SOMEWHERE in the house .... if not found by noon,…
  • Gratitude List Dec 4 * it's FRIDAY! * today, plus two work-weeks from today ... i START MY STAYCATION BREAK!! (can you tell how much I need this?) * I have a back-up fitbit Zip if DH doesn't find my fitbit One soon after he gets up (he sleeps later than I do, as i work from home and he is retired ... but he is great at…
  • morning 7 minutes done. See my Dec 3 entry ... (if DH can't find my fitbit One, I will have to sync up my backup fitbit Zip ... both were "still in the box thrift-store" finds. Not fancy, no heart-rate or "you seem to be rowing, shall I count the exercise-burn at that rate?" capability. But certainly suits my needs.)
  • It is SOOOOOO annoying! I can't find my fitbt, so I can't sync it to make a close-call about whether I have sufficient Fitbit adjustment calories available or not! Since i can KNOW, i will call it a 2 x Y / 1 x N day (Pilates in the morning, long walk in the neighbourhood looking at decorated houses in the evening .... all…
  • That makes you a CHAMPION! (and "in training for the January Winner's Circle") So in January, you target one or two less than whatever your pass-total is for Dec - Do a Lessons Learned Review of what impacted well / not-so-well - adjust and apply and go with it.
  • you posted - you started the month a CHAMPION! (posting is all it takes ... the rest will come - see @RangerRickL 's starter for Dec 3 ... )
  • did my before-work 7 minute routine and basic pre-logging (will refine as day continues)
  • Dec 2 VERY good day, 3 x yes (including 7 minute start-the-day pilates balance& flexibility + later exergaming)
  • If your chair-cardio and chair-yoga routines are video-stream based, let us know the links! my work-day morning routine is here => https://youtube.com/watch?v=kfrbE-UUVZA
  • I think part of the idea is to keep your focus on the shorter term and feel a sense of little accomplishments / improvements. And go with whatever format will suit / support you! So if you tended to focus on "post what I did Today", you may as well do the same for Dec. (if you want to keep / develop a sense of " wow! I've…
  • I started the "7 minute pilates balance&flexibility routine every work-day morning" a week ago-Tuesday. This morning marks 8 sessions (haven't missed one work-day yet)
  • Dec 3 Gratitude List* @MaltedTea for the concept of "eat the frog" (asking her to repeat it for those who weren't here last month .... somewhat like applying "eat the worst first" to activities and priority-ranking of work tasks that HAVE to get done) * good general health / functional mobility as a base to move forward…
  • Exercise : Y (7 minute Pilates and over an hour exergame walking ~ 8000+ steps) Calories under: Y (even without any exercise calories eaten back - working on "recovery from heavier meal on Monday") Logged everything: Y A very good start to the month despite rain so no outdoor walk after work. (and our wildflower…
  • Gratitude List Dec 1 * I have a specific plan on how to achieve my "2 stated-so-far" goals for the month (further up this thread) * Both action plans are centred around small, short-burst positive actions that will have a concrete cumulative effect by the end of the month. * my freshly ground spiced eggnog flavoured coffee…
  • Towards the end of November, I started posting a short 3-4 point Gratitude List on the What's On Your Mind Today thread. Others did too. It's a positive point to start my day with. I encourage others to do the same (can be off line in a notebook - doesn't have to be shared here!) We "see" what we pay attention to. Why not…
  • I am planning to start each work-day in December with a psychological "win" before I even have my morning coffee .... for now, that is to immediately follow my daily weigh-in on my wii (been keeping a record for 1310 days now) with a 7 minute balance&flexibility Standing Pilates routine from The Girl with the Pilates Mat…

  • 2 out of 3 today (didn't log - but very high step count and fitbit accumulated NEAT-total - and not a heavy-meal or snacky-day) It RAINED all day ..... most of the snow is long gone. My breadmaker machine attempted suicide by jumping right off the table (it never did that before) .... that loaf didn't work out; the machine…
  • I am grateful that:* This is such a positive, welcoming, supportive group with such varied approaches to "the three basics" * The weather was so nice over the weekend * My immediate-family's general health is all good; no covid in our circle; the chronic heath condition of my BiL (NON-covid and long-standing) is responding…
  • 3 x yes
