It will be April one week from today. I am starting the process of selecting the healthy habit that I will be focusing on during April. There are so many potential habits to choose from and so many areas that I need to improve. Hum.....

Good afternoon, ladies ~ new to the thread and figure if I'm going to start posting regularly for April that I need to go ahead and start now to kickstart that habit
For almost a year, I've worked out with my grandchildren and two of my daughters just before lunchtime. Things have changed around for we three adults and realized I was slacking doing the 1130 workout time without the girls, so I decided to start getting up and doing it first thing. Nothing crazy like 5am like one of my daughters does but a more respectable 0730! It's been working well. Even if I wake up and am telling myself that there is no way I can work out first thing - by the time I take out my mouth guards, use the rest room, weigh, and rebound, I'm usually in a better attitude and just get it started without thinking on it too much
I walk in the late afternoon with DH. (He has a major health problem currently.) We walk his pace for as long as he can (we are up to 2 laps around the block), then he goes inside, and I continue on at my pace for the remainder of the hour.
Anyway, I'll try to just post here and there for the rest of the month and really get started in April.

This is too funny dd thinks I should get the CGM contentious glucose monitor that you wear
24 / 7 that works with a smart phone ~ from a person that just lost her phone for three days thinks this is a good idea! LOL!
I did some research and learned even hospitals do not use them b/c of tech glitches and finger prick ones are more accurate.

Also learned the adjustable glasses are not going to work for me that I just ordered...
The gal was interested in them when I made my apt. so will take them with me so she can see and "play" with them.

Got 10K steps The last two days.
Mowed the taller spots in the front yard rest was okay.

I am mostly repeating what I ate yesterday. It was tasty, easy and readily available. It kept me full all day without bogging me down and zapping my energy. It meets all 84 mineral/vitamin recommended daily amounts and I am not bored with it, so why not?
