ACTIONS THAT REFLECT THE INTEGRITY OF THE PERSON YOU WANT TO BE
This is NOT a Challenge - it is a place for us to record our daily behaviors (behaviours) toward being personally responsible for our EFFORTS. We cannot control our OUTCOMES - weight - however, we can control our EFFORTS - daily actions aimed at losing/maintaining weight.
If you want to give this thread a try, just post 1 message on this thread. Each day during the month, the Age 50+ ladies are invited to add to their original message (using the "edit" button) by updating information about actions they have taken toward meeting their goal of losing/maintaining weight.
There is no single format - feel free to be creative. The winners on this thread are all of us who continue to work toward being accountable for our actions!
NOTE: We've been noticing that occasionally people who sign up for this thread tend to stop posting after a few days. If you change your mind about participating, please delete yourpost. If we find you've stopped posting for a week without first mentioning that you will be MIA for a while, your post may be deleted.
