I had a flub yesterday. I arrived home at 7pm from having medical tests done in the city. I was hungry, hot and had a couple hundred dollars of perishable food to unload and put away. One of the food items brought home was 3 fresh hot pizzas for the teens.
Yea. I went there. Two pieces of pizza were enjoyed even though I knew they would ruin my protein % streak.
I am seeking progress....not perfection.

My protein goal kept me from overeating yesterday. I considered eating more but decided I wanted that gold star more than i wanted to overeat. It wasn't hunger that was driving my desire to eat more.

I haven't had a month like this since starting my weight loss in July 2024. I had some months with slow weight loss (1/2 lb a week) but the scales have always gone down. I am looking longingly at those numbers and hoping I can get back in the groove.

Hi everyone !
Busy days, not much time, so I didn't post. but I'm working on my habits.

LadyM very interested by what you write about protein and the benefits you notice.

I realized I can't do my daily 2 minutes of strength training, as it is. I tried and did strentgth training most days, and I intend to do that daily until the end of July and maybe longer than that, but the "2 minutes" part was not doable. I'm working on finding good times during the day to do strength moves, sometimes at payroll.
20 days :
1. Pelvic floor : ☆☆☆☆☆ ✮✮✮✮✮ 20 (I think)
2. Flossing daily : ☆☆☆☆☆ ✮✮✮✮✮ ☆☆☆☆☆ 20 (I'm sure)
3. some strength training during the day : ✮✮✮✮✮☆☆☆☆☆ 15 (or maybe 13 or 14 )

I'm working on finding good times during the day to do strength moves,

This is what I learned from other SHE's. They make a conscious effort to include stretching and strength training in their daily routine.By connecting one exercise to an existing habit, stretches and strength training became effortless and time efficient. I find the challenge with exercising this way is identifying enough existing habits to connect to an exercise. A couple examples -
** Squats added to the end of taking a daily shower. Each morning after showering, I intentionally do squats while cleaning the shower walls.
** Balancing on one leg is accomplished during brushing teeth. The toothbrush has a 2 minute timer so each leg gets about a minute.

My sleep is right on the lower edge of my sleep boundary goal so I am watching it. My goal is 7-9 hours of sleep. After tracking my sleep for years I know it naturally drops into the 7 hour sleep range during the summer. It will naturally increase to 9+ hours during the winter months. The habit focus in May 2025 to get better bedtime routine has resulted in going to bed instead of staying up during the summer months. I'm a bit surprised that my sleep hasn't increased during the summer school break, especially since I can sleep late if I want.
