So here’s where I go all Dr. Phil (except cuter) on you…

I know that you’ve been in pain lately. Do you think that contributed to you turning to those foods? Are those comfort foods for you?

You’ve probably heard me say before that even when we do things we wish we didn’t do, we are getting something out of doing it. So I guess I would…[Read more]

Nikki Massie started the topic QOTD: What brings you joy? in the forum Open Discussion 7 years, 5 months ago

I’ve been asking myself this question more and more lately. I want to spend more time on things that bring me joy and less on things that do not.

Just to be clear: I understand that not everything is joyful. Paying bills isn’t really joyful (although I am grateful I have the money to pay them), but I am working on approaching life in general with…[Read more]

Im not 100% sure it’s the water. I call this phenomenon “feast and famine.” Sometimes I can eat a lot (feast) and sometimes not much at all (famine). I’ve been eating intuitively for about four years now (meaning if I can eat a lot, and I’m hungry, I go with it but try for highly nutritious food, and when I can’t eat much I don’t.)

This time is…[Read more]

Tomorrow will be better.

But.

You should share what you ate. Not for us. For you. We all make poor eating choices. If you treat them with shame or avoidance they don’t become a meaningful learning moment.

So let’s destigmatize mistakes. They are just mistakes. We can own up to them, learn from them, and in this space you will NEVER face…[Read more]

I tried that too. Didn’t work out well. Basil needs SUN! I think mint does well in the shade though. I think.

Not sure about Nationals stadium but here in Baltimore, you are allowed to bring your own snacks into the park. Do you have a good read on snacks? If not I can definitely suggest a few things that are easy to pick up!

I’m in “OUCH” mode. I had slacked off on doing my PT exercises.( Read that as quit doing them completely!) I knew I was in trouble on Father’s Day when I pumped up my grandson’s little swimming pool for his birthday party. It really hurt! I’ve been letting it recover and today decided to get back to my PT exercises. I managed to do the two warm…[Read more]

Working on getting my fluids in. Have been unplugged all day until now.

Had a shake for breakfast. I had a realization about why I always tend to go for shakes in the AM. I have never been a breakfast eater. Even as a child, it was a constant battle with my mom. Breakfast made my stomach hurt. So then Carnation came out with “Instant Breakfast”…[Read more]

Thanks to the small group who joined our very first Vitamin Show & Tell. I can’t speak for anyone else, but it was very educational for me!

I learned about a few new products, got to hear how others approach their vitamin schedules, and about how often they get their lab work done.

This will be a quarterly event! If you couldn’t make it to this…[Read more]

Paging @lissam124! (Because I said I’d make sure she knows where the daily check-in was for today.)

So guys.

Guys.

This is monumental for me. I usually kill EVERYTHING. I killed basil. I killed mint. (And I hear you ha…[Read more]

So a funny thing has been happening in my gut lately. I don’t know if it’s my increased water intake or what but my eating capacity has gone wayyyyyyy down.

Like…I could only finish 1/4 of my dinner last night.

Like…I did not wake up this morning thinking about food.

Like…I did not get the munchies not once.

I’ve been like this about a…[Read more]
