I got some movement in on 5/7 days, including three really good walks.
Still no deliberate physical therapy though. I just don’t have the energy or willpower.

I would like to develop a habit of doing the dishes. My daily habit will be:
- before bed, ensure there are no dirty dishes on the counter or in the sink
- there can be dirty dishes in the dishwasher or clean ones on the drainer
Week 3: Continued success, mostly. I did not empty the dishwasher on Monday. Monday’s dishes got rinsed and stacked on the counter because it was 1am and I just couldn’t do more. Tuesday I emptied and loaded the dishwasher. Did all required dishes the rest of the week and never let the drainer get overloaded.

Stretching is still ad-hoc, bit I seem to have developed the habit of getting the dishes done every day. That was not the plan but it is a nice surprise.
I am not getting into the garden because every ounce of energy is spent on the dishes or food preparation and also it’s really stupid hot.

I have been good about PT and having my knee smooshed. Mostly breathing, but sometimes it is just once or two times.

I am a hot mess express in all senses of the word. I am not exhibiting consistency since last Saturday, pretty much I’m a week off on doing my daily 59 minutes of physical activity + 10-20 minutes stretching.
did hit my 1,203rd day of duolingo streak, though!
That being said, back on the horse today. I really notice an increase in my stress when I don’t work out, and stress manifests in fun physical ways like disease flare-ups (which in turn make it harder to work out).

Checking in - late!
I think I should only focus on one thing. The big winner has been the exercise component. I have been doing classes 1-3 a day, but this past Sunday’s classes got me motivated. I was actually having muscle aches from pushing hard and I may have missed that? And my arms feel firmer? But it has taken me to now to discover what classes and combination gets me there. I am gaining strength back and not being crippled (you know where you push hard then can’t move for a week) and it’s making me happy. Stuff doesn’t hurt or is easier for movement. And maybe the yoga is helping?? I don’t do it perfectly (I hate the downward dog position) but I think I’m doing things easier?
Putting has been sporadic, reading has been minimal - I do have a book on the go. Work is keeping me busier. And sugar - well, that’s up and down.

100% habit compliance except the one time 10 min late, which TBH surprises me. I think an important takeaway is having a deadline for my bedtime routine, separately from bedtime itself, is helpful. Because even if I insist on doing something and getting “too tired for bed” , I still do all the effort intensive bedtime tasks. Also this grow app and reminders have saved me a few times. My Journaling made a tree!
PS if my goal was at all movement related I’d probably have more misses. I started with two very doable habits.

I don’t know what it is, but something about habit tracking rubs me the wrong way. I love a checklist/to do list, and value my Todoist/Duolingo streaks, but I guess something about “having” to record the things in another place (bullet journal or whatever) doesn’t do it for me.

I think that’s totally valid because I’m mostly like that. Like I have tried other record keeping before, and it got really annoying. But I knew I wouldn’t remember after a week if I had flossed on Sunday. It has been successfully keeping me honest (helps that it’s pretty). I don’t know how long I will keep it up…

I did not exercise this week. I was overcome by events including the event where I was lazy and the event where I didn’t wanna.

I am a bit behind on things out of the house for last week but I’m aiming to catch up this weekend for the end of the month!

Late on my bedtime routine last night for an excellent reason: I had a cat on my legs from 9pm to 11. Obviously getting up to prep for bed was not an option. 
Up to a 24 day streak on Duolingo which somehow got bundled in my brain to the Habituary goal(s).
I think I will keep tracking my flossing goal since that is a thing I actually want to do daily but swap journaling for something new and harder in March, maybe recording careful time tracking for work?

I did pretty well with PT, ok with breathing
Rough month, so I’m happy that I did better than I would have without the feeling of accountability and support here.

I vacuumed sometime this week. I missed only one night of my skincare routine. did dishes most days. give zero fucks about any of it.

I didn’t do perfect, but I did good. It has helped clarify which habit I want to pick up; checking in with my planner once a day. That will get me used to checking what other habits I am trying to build as well.

I did ok I think. I missed making entries a few days, but in doing so I established a planner set up where it allows for days to be skipped without leaving big gaps that eventually result in me abandoning it all together.
I did plan all our dinners for every week nights in it this month which has been a huge success. I’m very happy to have a system that works well for that going forward. Also I can adapt it for the baby’s meals and older kids lunchboxes.

Daily dog walks have been successful! I also did a secret mini-habituatary and maintained my Duolingo streak. I’m prouder of that than I usually would be because given my phone issues I’ve done Duolingo on 3 different phones and a laptop this month 
Anyway, the best victory is a tired puppo (picture not from today):
