Happy February everyone. Hope you made your January goals and are excited to start new goals for this month or continue improving on the goals you set last month.

I managed to lose 1.6 lbs. from Jan. 1st til today. Starting out the month at 237.2. I'd have liked to see a bigger loss, but any loss is better than a gain when it comes to weight loss, so I'm ok with that number. My goal for this month is to lose at least 2 lbs, more, if possible.

What are your goals for this month?

Well, the scale said 241.4 this morning, which is way better than the 245 earlier this week. 
At checkup yesterday, my BP was high again. So, it is time to get serious!

Streaks that I do most days, but still want to track so I know if they start slipping:

• up at least one flight of stairs
• down one flight of stairs
• exercises from the Hybrid Calisthenics app
• BP and vitamins BEFORE bed and not when I get up in the. Middle of the night and realize I forgot them.

Streaks I will stop tracking because I have the habits firmly in place with reminders as backup:

• thyroid med first thing
• light box

Streaks I need to track and tweak to make them happen more consistently 

• oatmeal every day
• eat within 2 hours after getting up
• first meal mostly protein 
• RespErate
• at least 10 min walk
• brush teeth before leaving house instead of scrambling to get places and brushing at work.

streaks I'm considering adding but maybe not till next month to have tracking not onerous:

• exercises from Vedral focusing on arms to tone my flabbiest area
• warmup exercises from Younger Next Year
• Biking, though this wouldn't be every day
• having small salad or cup of soup to start lunch to add nutrition and then eat less of other stuff
• increasing the walk length OR adding a second daily walk
• cutting off eating at a certain time before bed..l might wait for this one because I work late so many days and then need to eat a bit to take all the night pills
• balance exercises from Classical Stretch

The only streak I've been doing and am consistant with is checking my blood pressure daily.

Slept little last night and then after church walked and part of the way rode the bus to the basketball game and back. This game attendance also involved a LOT of stairs to and from my seat. So now I'm falling asleep...

Hope you slept well Margaret.

Today I'm 235.2. Getting ready to head to the library and find some good books to read.
