You all did great with yesterday’s challenge. Like I said, recognizing the good in yourself isn’t always easy, but it’s IMPORTANT to building a sustainably healthy lifestyle. So we’re going to keep coming back around to those sorts of challenges (be warned!)

Another thing that is important is REST! And many of us don’t get enough of it. That’s…[Read more]

REMINDER: Today is the cooking demo on the FNC Facebook group! (If you aren’t a member of the group, you can join by clicking here, and enter the password “Resilient”). We’ll be trying out a few summer dessert recipes.

Onward and upward with my daily check-in.

Man…I wish life wasn’t so busy sometimes.

Today’s task is:
Go for a leisurely walk. Snap…[Read more]

Sorry for the tardiness of this post. It’s my boyfriend’s birthday weekend and I took him out to a fancy brunch. 🙂

(Btw, can I just say that buffets are never, ever, ever worth it for WLSers?)

Anyhoo…today’s task is to:
Treat yourself to a nice, long bath (preferably with some “smell goods”)

Today’s task goes out to the Post-It Notes lovers in the house!
Write yourself affirmation notes and stick them in places where you’ll be able to see them.
