Happy 2019 friends. I have recently had some medical problems, gotten off my food-treatment for autoimmune disease, and been strongly encouraged professionally to be more open and get more support. Truth is, I've been discouraged and hiding. But here I am to try again. Love all the positive goals; you encourage me. My goal…

Some stressful medical things going on and today I did not eat wisely, so I'm a bit discouraged. We're ready for a new week though, so just go from here.

What an exciting month of ideas! I've slacked--have had some difficulties this month and it's been hard to post. But a friend encouraged me that this is when it is most important to stay open. So (even though I love the ideas you've given and they inspire me to be creative and try new things), I better continue my same…

Time for my weekly comment (November goal). :) Thanks for the support on movement while hosting a houseful. I did go walking with my cousin and did part of an exercise video with my sister a few times. I planned food very carefully for the whole week of visitors and got along great. It was today, when all our company was…

I'm showing up to post as promised. :) @PackerFanInGB, you're an encouragement to be open here. I've been tracking everything and still pre-planning my menus (that's the good part). Two days I did not quite stick to the plan; not a binge or anything, just some small changes to the scheduled menu--I suppose some flexibility…

I'll work on my desk. Already ordered some organizing trays and rearranged some things, but also need to clean out a few files so there is a place to go with incoming stuff so it doesn't get so messy again in the first place. I have a whole basket full of miscellaneous folders to sort. :p I'll use the Ten-Minute Rule to…

Special thanks to @themedalist, @texasgardnr , @nebslp , and @prgirl39mfp and everyone for the support. You make me excited to be part of the group and I have been enjoying reading about everyone's goals. Because everyone is so positive, it makes more seem possible! I'm excited because I started pre-planning my menus this…

Hello! My goal this month is to become active in the group by actually posting. This is a big deal for me because I am a very private person and do not, as a rule, post on the internet. I can see that being openly part of a group would help with accountability and support, I just appreciate your patience. :) I will post at…

This question was good for me today. I have been a little discouraged because I have not met all of my goals, but this got me thinking. As a friend often reminds me, "progress not perfection", and although there is a lot more I can do and a long way to go for this to be fully natural and integrated, I am sitting much less…

My goal to get up every 30 minutes is going pretty well; I'm excited that I think I am developing a natural timer in my head, starting to automatically notice it is about time to move again. It's also hopeful that movement breeds movement: it is a little easier to find hidden moments here and there to move around, like…

I don't leave my house much, so instead of parking far away, I'll try to move around while waiting for household things like the microwave or coffee pot.

I am working on getting up every 30 minutes. I have medical issues which limit my exercise and activity options, but I am excited because this is something I can do. It has given me such hope the last few days to learn that it isn't only intense activity that can provide benefit. I love being able to focus on the positive…

I make hazelnut butter in my Vitamix. Buying raw nuts in bulk on Amazon and roasting in oven or skillet, 10 oz comes out to less than $4. :)
