I hope nobody would mind if I open a thread to post updates after I exercise. Of course, others with struggles are most welcome to join.

It has helped me to post when I brush my teeth for the 2nd time in a day and when I take a shower, both things being something that I do not do on an autopilot.

I need to get back on exercise. My weight trajectory has been worrisome as I have regained 16 lbs of weight initially lost. And I repeatedly find myself glued to screens when instead I should be physically active. So I hope some self-compassion instead of berating myself (which does not help) would work, coupled with regular updates.

Tonight: going to walk on a treadmill. Nothing ambitious, 2. 6 mph, while listening to an audiobook. I hope the treadmill is not occupied (there is only one in the little gym in our complex).
