Yep, like they say in 12 step meetings, "progress not perfection."

Flossed yesterday

Flossed and brushed yesterday.

Now that flossing seems to be a pretty ingrained habit, I'm going to really work on trying to brush daily with a goal of keeping it up until my next dental cleaning appointment in early Nov. I want to have another good checkup.

Your post inspired me today and I organized my late evening in such a way as to be able to fit in the 2nd brushing.

Really hoping your new evening routine will let you get that second brushing in.

Flossed and brushed yesterday.

2nd brushing today, interrupted when my friend knocked on the door (she came to join me for a 5k walk). So I did not get 2 minutes. I got a little less than 1.5 minutes. But, it is OK. Something is better than nothing.

I'm curious, do you set a timer when you're brushing?

Rough night yesterday, didn't brush or floss.

I think I may try the timer, as I'm pretty sure I'm not brushing anywhere near to 2 min.

Flossed but didn't brush yesterday

Brushed for the 2nd time today. Now waiting for the 30 mins since the brushing to pass and then will have a snack and go do cardio HIITs, followed by a personal training session. It will be my first time doing two in a row.

I did not manage to do cardio right after eating because I was full, but I did cardio after personal training, with a significant break between them.

Sleep is so important. You must have needed it. You will floss and brush on another day.
