So not eating for an hour before bed is easy, eh? (The wheels are turning…)

KIDDING! The point of this challenge isn’t for the habits to be hard. The point of this challenge is to build consistency, and we are doing that!

FACT: Scientists say it takes 66 days to effectively build a habit. 66 days of doing something day in, day out. Which…[Read more]

Ok so let’s talk about the ice cream man.

The jerk!

I always get super jealous when the ice cream man comes. Sure, there’s products that I can have but all of them make me feel funny in various ways so I’m sort of leery. So now I make protein pudding pops!

So we start off with the basic ingredients: skim milk (TIP: Use Fairlife to get some…[Read more]

I’m about to go in for water #3 (that will bring me up to 50 oz.)

Let the bladder assault BEGIN! Also…I have to start minding the timing of my water consumption better. I keep throwing myself into ravenous hunger, drinking all willy nillyl. Ugh.

Meat/cheese roll-up
Power Crunch Bar
Falafel with pita and some spicy chickpeas

Dinner will…[Read more]

And I would like to point out that is different than having a late night eating habit (I know you know that but I wanted to emphasize that if you have a reason and method for eating later, that’s perfectly valid!)

The bathroom visits haven’t calmed down for me either. I had a doctor’s appointment yesterday and my doc said that my system should calm down once I’ve been consistent another week or so. I was like, “a week???”

…there is a method to Nik’s madness…

Nikki Massie replied to the topic Simple Daily Habits – Day 8 (new habit!) in the forum June 2017: The Simple Healthy Habits Challenge 7 years, 5 months ago

33 oz. in so far…so halfway there…

I think your snacks are usually pretty healthy, but still…I think there’s merit in this one even just to see how disrupting our usual habits plays out!

Good luck with support group. 🙂

Awesome routine!

Does that mean you’ll continue to focus most of your efforts on the water?

Nikki Massie started the topic Simple Daily Habits – Day 8 (new habit!) in the forum June 2017: The Simple Healthy Habits Challenge 7 years, 5 months ago

Just to remind you of how this all works, we are “stacking” habits.

So this week you are going to continue to strive for 72 oz. of water per day (or strive to improve progressively up to that point from wherever you are now) AND:

Refrain from eating anything for 60 minutes before bedtime.

So…there’s a “flaw” in that habit. Did you notice…[Read more]

I’m at 54. I’m going to get another bottle in before bed to bring it up to 70 then I quit for today

Nikki Massie replied to the topic Simple Daily Habits – Day 7 in the forum June 2017: The Simple Healthy Habits Challenge 7 years, 5 months ago

You knew I was going to ask this…

So what can you do about that? Keeping in mind when you make the right thing to do, an easy thing to do, you are more likely to do it!

Nikki Massie replied to the topic July: The "Treat Yo'Self!" Challenge in the forum Monthly Challenges 7 years, 5 months ago

Good! You’ll have a chance to work on various areas of self-care through the next few months with challenges, so I’m glad that this one is meaningful to you!

Nikki Massie replied to the topic Simple Daily Habits – Day 7 in the forum June 2017: The Simple Healthy Habits Challenge 7 years, 5 months ago

Ok, I have to do it…

ROBIN APPRECIATION MOMENT!

You know what I appreciate about you? You are just so dedicated!

And you take things one day at a time, but you have focus to know what you want to accomplish each day.

My friend, that makes you an inspiration. Thanks for being a great example to us all with your consistency.

Now if you’ll…[Read more]

I was gonna call this the “Self Care” challenge…but what’s the fun in that?

Long story short: Although we do an excellent job of taking care of others, many times we forget to take care of ourselves! And taking care of yourself is MORE than just eating right and exercising. So this challenge will lead you through simple yet powerful ways of…[Read more]

(TMI) Poll: About how many times/how frequently are you visiting the restroom since this challenge began?

Theoretically that should slow down a bit as your body gets consistently hydrated so I’ll keep asking as we go through this month!

Besides that, you all know the drill. Report back!

Nikki Massie replied to the topic June 7th in the forum Daily Check-Ins 7 years, 5 months ago

Yay for plea deals!

I went for my annual women’s exam today. Pretty uneventful although I saw a new doc so had to go through my whole history and explain the cancer and yadda. But I like this doctor. I felt like she took her time, listened to me, and answered my questions well, so that’s encouraging.

Not sure I shared this but I am trying to…[Read more]
