maintain the good habits I've marked as "done"

• “Maintain my allergy shot schedule”
• “Take vitamins daily”
• “Eat more fruits & vegetables”
• “Drink more water”
• “Use scar-healing treatment consistently”

RE: “Take vitamins daily”

I recently kept track of my pill-taking over a six-week period; during that time (my best estimate would be that) I took at least 85% of my pills on time & 100% of my pills if pills taken late are counted. This is real progress—my new goal will be to maintain it! smile

RE: “Use scar-healing treatment consistently”

I decided not to use the treatment while traveling, in order to avoid any potential for skin sensitivity or discoloration. Once I’ve returned to my normal work-a-day routine, my goal will be to consistently apply treatment to my surgical scars until I’ve finished using the box I have on hand, at which point I will re-assess my progress.

RE: “Take vitamins daily”

It’s been five weeks since I kept track of my pill-taking by writing weekly entries; during that time (my best estimate would be that) I’ve taken at least 80% of my pills on time & a higher percentage if one counts pills taken late. So I’m going to keep going forward with this goal, but probably not write about it much, so long as I’m able to maintain my good habits. smile

RE: “Use scar-healing treatment consistently”

I am adding to this “maintenance list” my intention to consistently apply treatment to my surgerical scars until I’ve finished using the box I have on hand, at which point I will re-assess my progress on this goal.

Of fourteen occasions, I missed taking my pills twice (1/7); given the holiday travelling we were doing, this is not too surprising. wry grin

I expect to do better this week, now that we’re back home & in the routine again, so my goal this week is to aim for “perfection”—& to achieve at least “1/7” pill-taking. smile

Of fourteen occasions, I missed taking my pills just once, thus meeting my Week Four goal (1/14). This is real progress. smile

My goal for Week Five is to have “perfect” pill-taking—which is likely to be a bit harder than usual, given the holidays at the end of the week. But forewarned is forearmed, eh? grin

Wish me luck, friends! thanks

Of fourteen pill-taking times, I was late in taking my pills twice – i.e., the same as last week (1/7) – although I didn’t miss any pills, which is progress. smile

So my goal for Week Four is to reduce that by half (1/14)!

Of fourteen pill-taking times (a.m. & p.m. during the past seven days), I missed or was late in taking my pills twice; i.e., the same as last week (1/7).

My goal for Week Three is to reduce that by half (1/14)!

Of fourteen pill-taking times (morning & evening over the past seven days) I missed or was late in taking my pills twice (1/7). While that’s not a “perfect” result, it’s certainly better than before my three-month effort to build this good habit! smile

I’ve moved one good habit from the Active to the Done list:

• take vitamins daily

I’ll check in on this goal in a month or so, to see how it’s going.
