I have been experimenting with a new-to-me habit to see if it is even a possibility to work on next month. I don't want to select a habit that is over my capability of doing. I had a couple days of success then yesterday it didn't happen. The consequence of that miss made a BIG DIFFERENCE today which tells me it is worth the hassle of forming this habit next month.

Not a.bad.month,.but I'm still not meeting my water targets. OTOH, it's probably still better than if I wasn't tracking it!

February has certainly had its ups and down in the H&F arena. Overall I am thrilled that I haven't stopped trying.....even when I'm not doing my best I am still tracking everything. The good and the not so good.

Sleep is going to be my focus for March H&F. I have been trying some changes the last few days and am seeing positive results. I never nap during the day, so the sleep I get is all at night. Monitoring DH mental episodes and raising teens means my nighttime sleep is frequently interrupted. I acknowledge this is the phase of life I am in and it won't always be like this. My redline rock-bottom least amount of sleep I allow myself to get is 7 hours average. I am frequently in the 5 & 6 hour range so I need to make some changes. ANYway, with a few tweaks I belief I have found a way to improve my sleep time & quality so I will be implementing that habit in March. My goal is a solid 7 hours and who knows....with these changes I might even reach 8 hours of sleep with a higher sleep score.

Movement during February improved over January by 400 steps daily (average). My current daily step average is 7248.

During the month of February I hit 600 days of tracking in Cronometer. I continue to hold myself to brutal honesty with what I eat. Somedays it is NOT something I want to record and see the results, but I do it anyway. I remind myself it is just numbers and to leave the emotions out of it. I enjoy having this data available to analyze in a cazillion different ways (macros, micros, minerals, vitamins, fasting hours, etc, etc, etc,
HOWEVER, for the first time since I started keeping track of everything I eat July 2024.....I gained weight. Over the past 20 months I have had 5 months when I didn't lose any weight but this is the first month that I gained weight. February data shows me 2.1 lbs heavier than January 2026. ***sigh***
I know what cause it and I know how to stop it. I will be working on that aspect of H&F during March too.
