Hi all, This is my last post here for awhie anyway. I am using a yoga journaling group and probably can’t work with more than one fabulous group right now. Thank you for amazing passion and support that you show each other. BTW- I rewrote my BIG identity statement, which has 3 brief sentences for my aspirational self. I…

Hi all and @TerriRichardson112 Terri I really love how you have your health identity statement first. “ I am a person who…” I developed a wake up routine of looking at my Apple notes in my “morning folder” right off the bat while I’m in that groggy state of mind, making coffee and tending to the cat, I remember to; -Say my…

Hi all and @PackerFanInGB: *Staying calm and centered, while working on actions for better health* Some years ago, I made a dedicated effort to have more inner peace and less negative emotional reactivity to the world around me. I learned about toxic stress and its affect on my organs, my ability to think clearly, and my…

Hi all and @kerrid777, My Yoga Lifestyle. I have been doing yoga for 50 years and it has really helped to mitigate the worst consequences of aging bone and joint health issues. My physicians and physical therapists are thrilled that I’m keeping this up and it’s really help me with postsurgical recovery. Even though I have…

Hi all, I appreciated @PackerFanInGBs detail for maintaining a particular habit. I personally try to bookend preventive health actions with -appraisal of health threat versus benefit of doing the action, -And intention for the action - -visualization of doing the action and completing it -And gratitude and self compassion,…

@donna25trinity I really like that you start out with intentions and it’s very helpful for the mindset and I find that I also need to do this in the early evening. I use a visualization with my intentions, so that I can keep in mind what I’m aiming for. In my experience ( & for many) intentions and goal visualization are…

I love your approach Terry and I agree with you that for myself and for many people focusing on a more holistic approach to health and fitness is sustainable. I also have physical activity and healthier eating goals but underneath those I have specific intermediate goals and activities to get there. I also have my self…

“In calendar” Tracker .. work in progress. To simplify fitness and life management, I give myself an emoji gold star each day I meet minimal PA and healthy eating target. I make an “all day” appointment so it stays at the top of my calendar and I can see my progress. In Google calendar I can simply use duplicate function…

Getting myself organized one day at a time. Just sharing, not advising. 😽☘️💕 Hi all, Like many folks, I have learned that I need to have halfway decent, personal organization: including self-care, self-management, and household/ family stuff.

MANAGING TRACKING WHEN AWAY FROM HOME Hi everyone, I have to admit that I lost the structure of my day on the JULY 4th holiday and did not track after eating so I ate more than I had planned and it was unnecessary because my body didn’t need it. I had “food appeal hunger” or food desire, rather than true physiologic hunger…
-
@mkksemail I appreciated your post about personal organization I find it’s absolutely necessary so that I can be successful with my personal care and fitness goals. What a lot of the folks I coach find useful is first of all simplicity, because we don’t want to be a worker for the app —we want the app to serve us I…

Hi support team (everyone) This July I will use my cognitive behavioral science knowledge and skills with my faith towards a more holistic wellbeing; which is my definition of mind- body- spirit fitness. 😽☘️💕 - begin and end each day with gratitude reflection - record my food before or as soon as I eat it - jumpstart PA…

Hi all and @MadisonMolly2017 , It’s the last day of June, and I am sticking to my recent health habits goals. I do use specific recommended behavior change strategies based on science, because I would be lost without this. Maybe it’s easier for some people than for me. I do health and mental health/ wellness coaching/ for…

Hi all, I’m not sure if this is where I post a reply to the June challenge. Please gently correct me if I’m wrong and thank you for your patience. I just rejoined MFP am working on a 20 pound weight loss aiming to get out of the pre-diabetes state. ➡️My challenge for June is to track honestly every day including evenings…

Hi all, I am aiming to eat more mindfully with advice from my dietitian. I’m also focusing on gentle intermittent fasting. 12 hours to eat a “reasonable “ amount of my heart healthy foods and then 12 hours to give the body a rest and avoid over eating. This is the plan that seems right for me not necessarily OK for…

@Katla49 I can relate to not wanting to go out many days especially as cooler weather approaches I had a wonderful online real time yoga class it was gentle and body positive and fully adaptable to whatever your Health needs were. Bought a package during the worst of Covid and it expired and I’m just trying to push myself…
