@TeresaW1020 What an amazing victory to go through that whole event and the clean up and not eat any of that junk. Wow! 👏👏👏 One thing that motivates me to stay away from sugar is the feeling I get when I resist. I feel victorious! It’s such a good feeling. Not to mention the health benefits of course. I have read most of…

@Katmary71 I’m so glad you checked out the app and started it. I agree, it’s very cool how it’s like a course and the meditations are short. I think it’s really helping me!

@Katmary71 I am not very experienced in meditation and mindfulness, but I am about one month into the journey of making it a daily habit. I use a couple of different apps and guided meditations and am learning to incorporate mindful activity as well. I really enjoy and recommend the Healthy Minds app.

Thank you everyone for your warm welcomes!! I am happy to be here with all of you and look forward to getting to know you better. I will try to check in often but it can be a challenge for me to keep up with reading posts when there are a lot. Do you all have any tips as far as how to stay connected in the community when…

@vegan4lyfe2012 Thank you for the welcome! That’s a bummer your local yoga person has class times that don’t work for you. I do yoga myself at home. I would honestly love to go to in person classes, but I haven’t been able to make it work lately with the amount of things we have going on. I just try to fit in a little…

It messes with my brain and tries to get me to keep having more, so it’s best for me to avoid it. My energy and mood are much better without it too.

Instead of just a ✅ or ❌, I find myself wanting to give a percent, at least on certain goals. Like I followed my food plan pretty well. I just…

holly2e PW July 8: 127.3 CW July 15: 127.0 @Fitness327wk I like your new habit! I have also found that planning my meals in advance helps me stay on track. Sometimes I have a hard time sticking to the plan though, especially with portions and snacks. Do you find that challenging at all, and what do you do about that?

I haven’t been doing too great remembering to post my daily goals, but here’s today. July 16 Daily goals: Bible/prayer ✅ Exercise ✅ Drink at least 64 oz water - ? Followed food plan - not too great. Also forgot to weigh in - will do tomorrow. Haven’t had the best week sticking to goals and good habits, but will keep going.
