I eat lots of fruits and vegetables most of the time.
I eat protein and healthy fats most days, sometimes I come up short on whole grains.
I need to get in more exercise but my knees make it hard to do a lot of things I used to do.
Still working on it and on doing more muscle strengthening activities.
I do check in with my doctor at least once a year and my screens are fine.
I don't have a lot of stress. Things are pretty laid back for me.
I don't always get enough sleep but not because I don't try or keep to a schedule.
I do cook my meals at home and rarely go out to eat. Occasionally a quick lunch in town.
I don't have much family that is close but I do see my son most weekends and during the week try to do something that brings me pleasure.

I eat plenty of fruits & veggies.
I eat my healhy protein.
Exercise is pitiful lately, this is one thing I want to improve in the coming year.
I am always stressed out to the max. I have tried to relax, but it seems impossible for me as I have gotten older.
I am a terrible sleeper, (always have been, but my mom never slept & she lived to be 98, so I guess it's not life-threatening! )
I do cook almost all my meals at home (now that my kitchen is back together) We only eat out a couple of times a month.
I do get all of the screenings that my dr suggests.
I try to see my grandson as often as possible, that always puts a smile on my face.

a)I’m eating more fruits and vegetables. Not sure I can say I added more, but happy with my totals
b)I eat nutritious protein, whole grains and healthy fats most days. Yes
c)I get 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity, such as walking, per week. No
d)1 do muscle-strengthening activities 2 to 3 days a week. No
e)I’ve talked to my health care provider about my screening needs. Could do better
f)I’ve taken steps to reduce stress in my life. Try, but don't succeed
g)I get 7 to 9 hours of sleep each night. Not usually
h)I cook most meals at home and only eat out occasionally. Yes
i)I spend time with loved ones or do something that brings me joy every day. Trying!
I can see the strong points and where I need to do better.
Challenge - Need to remember to drink water, even when weather is cold. That's why I challenged myself! Reflecting - again, simply need to remember to do so. I think I need to write, not just "think".
