  • This time of year it's HUGELY important to fight the winter blahs before they fully settle in. I'm finding I can best combat the beast by getting some sunshine (I swear I can feel my shoulders physically lift when the sun hits my face) and exercise, exercise, exercise. Keep active. Focus on the mood lift that arrives at…

  • My nutritionist said that if I had an extremely physical day, then maybe I could eat extra that day. Then she burst my bubble: if I worked out an hour longer than usual, then 100 more calories would be reasonable. Well. Blah! Also, MFP is extremely generous in its calorie burned calculation.

  • I set my "meals" to 3 hours sections of time: 5am-8am, 8am-11am, 11am-2pm, 2pm-5pm, 5pm-8pm, 8pm-11pm.

  • I sometimes add unflavored protein powder to foods. It works well in greek yogurt and dishes that mask the added sort-of-dairy flavor that comes from the powder. Note that the powder mixes best with cool/cold foods; I find it clumps if I put it directly into something hot.
