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]

Nikki Massie replied to the topic What is your "go-to" meal?? in the forum Ask a Question, Get an Answer 7 years, 5 months ago
Little known fact about Nikki: If I thought I could get away with it, I’d probably eat cottage cheese every meal of the day lol.
Well that’s not 100% true. I like variety but cottage cheese is my “default food.” I can always eat it if all else fails or doesn’t interest me.
Other fairly common meals for me:
Scrambled eggs with salsa and cheese…[Read more]

It’s the “Treat Yo’Self” Challenge!

Welcome! We seem to have a lot of evening action here in the FNC so I’m sure others will log on and say hi as well.
I’m glad you’re here.

Woot! Sounds like a good plan.

I feel pretty confident about how we are all going into these last few days of the challenge. You all have prepped well. You’ve identified times when it’s not possible to follow this week’s habit (which is an awesome thing), and you’ve made strategies on what you will do instead (which is double awesome).
YOU GOT THIS! I’m so stinking proud of…[Read more]

I feel good today! I think it’s the weather.
Today is a fairly normal Monday. I brought all my food for the day, per the challenge. I’m going to try to get out for a walk at lunchtime because the weather is just GORGEOUS! (Did I mention there’s beautiful weather? LOL)
Not to sound like a broken record but tonight I’m hosting a “Vitamin Show &…[Read more]

I can’t believe July is almost here! Yikes.
Here’s my plan for this week. I’m doing it a little more detailed this week just to make sure I have my bases covered.
Self-Care
For my sanity, I NEED to finish switching out my seasonal clothes. I’ve had time to do it, I just haven’t. That will get done over the course of the weeknights of this…[Read more]

Please let us know how that goes! I’m interested to hear what they tell you.

Nikki Massie replied to the topic Simple Daily Habits – Day 25! in the forum June 2017: The Simple Healthy Habits Challenge 7 years, 5 months ago
I can’t speak for anyone else but for me it’s  necessity. I feed myself + four other grown people so food goes quickly! When cooking for myself I usually make two things. My kids are in charge of Taco Tuesday. And then we always have at least one “wing it” night (which this week will be when we make “zushi”).
I think it’s probably pretty…[Read more]

One thing I’m finding is that the more I do healthy things, the more my body craves healthy things. Now if I go too long without drinking, I crave water. (And because I forced myself to drink plain water as opposed to Crystal Light, etc. now only plain water really quenches that craving.) The unplugging as well. I had a love, unplugged day…[Read more]

I purposely did not start our last habit on Thursday, mostly because if you’re not used to prepping at home, a weekday is NOT an ideal time to start!
But this weekend should be about prep! A few notes:
Again, eat things prepped at home as much as is realistic/possible. There may be times it’s not realistic/possible. That’s ok!

Water – I don’t wanna talk about it (like 25 oz. oy…)
Unplugging – did that!
No eating before bedtime will happen.

Fair enough! The recommendations for water are just that. Recommendations! But I think my personal goal in this challenge was not so much about the goal itself but to always be mindful of water intake. I certainly was not very mindful about it so I think doing this challenge just helps me remember water intake is a part of a healthy lifestyle and…[Read more]

What you said “as important as my steps…” YES!
My feelings exactly. It’s one measurement of many, one piece of a bigger picture.

No worries! I took your comment in the spirit it was given. But let me try to answer you.
My kids are Bariatric Foodie kids. What you see on the blog is what they grew up eating. They were 9 and 6 when I had surgery! So they know label reading (and do it better than some dietitians I know). They know portion sizes. They know complex vs. simple…[Read more]

Nikki Massie started the topic So let's talk about the scale… in the forum Open Discussion 7 years, 5 months ago
As a general rule, I’m pretty scale-averse. I don’t weigh every day. I haven’t for years. I usually weigh once a week in the gym. Since my bounce years ago, I’ve stayed within a 5-7 lb. range and I’m ok with that.
I’m thinking about getting a scale.
Firstly, because I want to step up my fitness efforts and I want to track weight as one measure…[Read more]
