I like your approach. Yesterday is gone and done with. Resolving to press reset and do better from this point onward is the best thing you could have done! Enjoy yourself, my friend.

Yeah, I started typing out a check-in post and got pulled away (that seems to be my theme today).

So I’ve learned this week when they give you a promotion all that really means is they load you up with so much work you can’t see straight! Oy.

I’m enjoying it, though, and it’s challenging me to step up my time organization skills because I refuse…[Read more]

Mid-week sweep!

Robin, I just hate that you are under this level of stress and uncertainty, but I applaud you for facing it head on. I think mindfulness is a great goal and I’m interested to hear how it’s going. I am getting some sense of it in your daily check-ins but do you have any “aha” moments you’d like to share?

Mid-week sweep! You have some ambitious goals here, but do-able.

From my understanding, the GMI is comprised of a lot of factors and not just your carb intake. It seems to reward you for having nutritionally balanced meals (so even if there are carbs in there, if it’s all starches and, say, no fruits or veggies over the course of a day you’ll get…[Read more]

Mid-week sweep! I like the fact that you aligned having to do lesson plans with scheduling out your healthy stuff. That’s working smarter, not harder!

How’s that coming along? Are you doing ok?

Hey Maria! Are you on vacay? If so, I hope you’re having an AWESOME time!

How are your goals going so far?

Mid-week sweep! How’s your goal going? Did you bring those healthy snacks into the job? Are you choosing them over the unhealthy ones?

Inquiring Nikkis need to know!

Mid-week sweep! (aka Nik checks up on you)

How’s it going? Have you been hitting your protein targets? Your exercise? Kudos for getting it done Sunday and Monday!

Mid-week sweep! How’s it going? Have you sorted the stressors in your life into those buckets? (I’m very impressed by this by the way…)

How’s that process going for you?

First off, forgive any typos because I am doing this on voice text!

Regarding your question about cereal, am I remembering correctly that you did join good measures? If so, shoot an email to your dietitian through the platform. Tell her you are having a serial craving and you want to know what your best options are. She’ll probably respond with a…[Read more]

Today was busy! And I’ve had a headache all day.

I honestly am not thinking well enough to do a meaningful report back (my apologies!) but tomorrow is a new day.

Good night, my dear friends!

Well I know this advice can be useless if you are not really comfortable talking to people but here are my tips:

1. Go in with a smile on your face! They don’t know you so they don’t know you’re nervous. Fake it til you make it.
2. My best line for meeting people and making friends is, “Hi, I don’t know you but I’d like to. My name is Nikki. What’s…

Don’t even get me started. We have this coffee bar thing on my floor (high counter with stools and laptop plugs, etc.) which has become the “I want it out of my house so I’m going to sit it here in hopes that you save me from eating it by eating it first” space.

Ugh.

And the worst part is you have to go past that bar to get to the coffee and…[Read more]

Rock on, sista!

I feel you on the chips. They are my kryptonite.

I’m interested in this stress management process. Is this something you learned about? Tell me more! Like…I know you are a list-maker. Is this about making lists of things you control vs. influence? And what do you do with that info?

I was so glad you joined us!

I think we each have our different reasons for being here in the FNC and different ways of using it and that’s ok. I want you to feel empowered to reach out to me or any other member whenever you need some support.

I wrote your goal down!

As for my day, it’s busy as usual. I prepped breakfasts (that is my vulnerable…[Read more]

Hey! Ok so I want to make sure I understand so that I can a) help and b) fix anything that’s confusing!

The weekly plan isn’t a super formal thing. You’ve been doing it through this mini-pledge! The basic gist is that you post what you’d like to accomplish in a given week. I usually come through on Sunday evening or Monday afternoon and look at…[Read more]
