Time to check-in again! We're at the end of February, so it's been 2 months. I think we should celebrate for working on improved health for this long. Congratulations everyone!
I looked up some numbers on how people stick with New Year's resolutions. According to what I found (the web page below), only 64% of people who make New Year's resolutions maintain the resolution after 1 month, and 46% after 6 months. So sticking with what we've done so far is fantastic. How do you feel about making it to the 2-month mark?

This link also has an interesting point, that making resolutions is associated with 10 times greater success in problem solving:
New Year's resolvers (sample = 159) and comparable nonresolvers interested in changing a problem later (sample = 123) were followed for six months via telephone interviews. Resolvers reported higher rates of success than nonresolvers; at six months, 46% of the resolvers were continuously successful compared to 4% of the nonresolvers.
I had a pretty good week; my main challenge was that I tweaked a muscle in my neck/shoulder last Monday at the gym and had quite a bit of pain during the week. I did go to massage twice, used the foam roller and heat pack a lot, and stretched, and it seems to have mostly cleared up. Last week I did crossfit twice, went running once, went to yoga three times, and went hiking once. So it was good for exercise. For eating it was mostly good but I did have one cheat day, that wasn't great.
