Happy Monday! I was surprised at what the scale told me this morning, all things considered. I haven't made huge sweeping changes as I'm coming out of this burnout phase, but I managed to do the 3/12/30 most of the days last week and I got back into my 2L of water during work. PW: 146.2 CW: 144.6 Yesterday I was cutting up…

Happy Monday All! I'm so sorry I've been MIA the past few weeks. I've been completely out of sorts and just anti-social, anti-accountability, anti-everything. Hopefully the funk has passed and I did get some weights...I'm just not super happy about them. 6/26: 144.7 7/3: 147 7/10: 146.2 I've really been struggling with…

@conleywoods Isn't that the best feeling ever after you've defended and the committee says 'congrats'!? It's such a huge sigh of relief and you deserve it after all the hard work! Congrats!! @jugar Where in Ohio do you have to be?

Happy Monday all! @jugar Sorry I wasn't able to remind you that I wasn't going to be able to weigh in last week. But I'm back now PW: 143.8 (I think) CW: 144.2 Honestly, that's waaaay less damage than I expected considering that I was eating out all all last week due to being at that conference AND it's TOM....so, I'm not…

@jugar Since I'll be leaving from my house instead of the office, I don't think I'll be able to weigh in before I leave. If my hotel has a scale available, I'll try to jump on, but otherwise, I'll have to wait until the following week, but I'll see what I can do :)

PW: 143.8 CW: 143.4 Not much, but I'll take it! I definitely thought that I would've gained this week....I'm on a several week streak and I'm just waiting for the inevitable rebound. It'll probably happen soon as I intend on picking back up on my lifting...and because I'm probably not going to be as vigilant about what I…

Hey all! Just popping in for my quick weight in. Sorry it's late @jugar ! It's been a whirlwind of a week. I'm just gonna put my weights down but if I have some time later, I'm going to go through everyone's updates! PW: 144.4 CW: 143.8

Welcome to the group! I'd be happy to help you with accountability!

Hey Canadians - could you please put out your fires? It's getting hard to breathe down here! I say that jokingly, but the AQI of 190 last night (which I know still pales in comparison to Edmonton and Calagary and the like) nixed my plans to walk outside last night. Instead, my hubs and I measured the rooms for air…

Happy Tuesday all! PW: 145.2 CW: 144.4 That was completely unexpected since last week got busy and resulted in very little exercise, plus 3 coffee splurges. I think managing my portions is the biggest factor, so I'm going to stick with this approach and see how it goes! Maybe eventually we can get some of these home repair…

Morning all! PW: 146.0 CW: 145.2 Activity: Monday: 10249 steps (incl. 30min walk) + 24 min lifting Tuesday: 9128 steps (incl. 31min walk) + 32 mins yoga Wednesday: 8981 steps (incl. 2.14mi interval run) + 28 mins lifting Thursday: 8918 steps (incl. 20min walk) + 30 mins yoga Friday: 5208 steps (incl. 1.2mi easy run) + 40…

@ashleycarole86 I'm so glad you made the jump! I was happily paying the $50/yr before for premium and since they went to a monthly subscription, it's actually even cheaper ($36/yr)! I like the little added benefits, plus I want to support an app that I love and recommend to my patients all the time. I'm also a bit of an…

@DD265 What are your feelings on being discharged from your RD? How many appointments did you have with her? I'm kind of sitting here scratching my head because you're motivated and absorbing what she's teaching. I really only discharge people if they consistently miss appointments. I definitely don't get rid of the ones…

@ashleycarole There was a Garmin badge to be won :D Although it did actually help to keep me moving while still keeping weight off my knee, so it's a win-win! Also - I totally feel you on the pickle cravings! That or seaweed snacks are my go-to for when I want something salty, although I made a batch of comeback crackers…

PW: 146.4 CW: 146.0 Hey All! I'm Ashley and I'm a native Ohioan who has been living in Montana (just outside of Glacier National Park) since Aug '20. I'm a registered dietitian and health coach at the IHS for the Blackfeet tribe. I've been a yoga and HIIT teacher since '15 and am currently working on fending off the…

Happy...Tuesday everyone! Sorry I'm a day late on my weigh-in, I try to do it empty stomached but forgot and totally ate breakfast/coffee on my way in to work. PW: 147.8 CW: 146.4 Last week wasn't great in terms of physical activity. I did try to do something most days, but that pulled muscle started radiating and giving…

@jugar your boy is gorgeous! Remind me again of what he is. Also - aren't English saddle so comfy? I used to poo-poo on English riders because I thought they were stuck up (admittedly, the ones I knew actually were!) but after I tried an English in lieu of my usual heavy AF western and Australian saddles, I was sold! And I…

Happy Monday! Does anyone else feel like their just...garbled...and can't get a clear focus on things? I've felt this way for a few weeks and don't know what I need to do in order to get myself in order. I'm so uninspired and 'blah', that it's seeping into everything. I used to be to structured and focused with daily…

@jugar yep! Herbs and plant-based spices count as 1/4 of a 'point', but they do count! I think it's a great way to move the focus from strictly scale-based wins to an overall more diverse and balanced diet :)

Happy Monday! Numbers were a bit disappointing this morning, but I'm not too distressed: CW: 148.2 My little 30F/V Challenge for the week proved a success. I didn't actually change any of my eating habits, I was just curious to know how close I come to meeting that recommendation. Turns out, I'm more diverse than I…

This is why we're here! Don't feel bad. Legit - most of my follow-ups say this. You've just got to find your 'low hanging fruit' and consistently set yourself up to get it. It's the crushing of those teensy-tiny little habits (that are actually pretty easy to incorporate) that will get the ball rolling and give you the…

@YinxFed Seeds definitely count! Yay for healthy fats! :)

@CupcakeCrusoe oooo, you found the Lisa Frank one! Yeah, those are pretty! I have to figure out the best ratios now to use in a smaller blender, but I go through phases with smoothies and apparently I'm in the midst of one right now! Also - fun little challenge I found. I was reading an article by another RD and she…

Happy April All! My name is Ashley and while I'm a native Ohioan, I've lived just outside of Glacier National Park in NW Montana for 2.5 years now. I'm pretty sure our Canadians are my closest neighbors in this group! I'm a Registered Dietitian working for the IHS and the Blackfeet nation. I'm also a 500hr yoga teacher and…

Hey @Natroushka ! Welcome to the team! It's great to have a fellow Ohioan with us :) Technically I live in Montana now (for 2.5years), but I was raised in NEO (Wooster) so it'll always be home. You definitely have a lot going on but we're all here for support!

Happy Tuesday all! Sorry I didn't get a chance to weigh in yesterday. I honestly debated about skipping this week because TOM started an entire week early and I'm feeling pretty blah :(....but here it is anyways. PW: 147 CW: 146 (maybe my run helped?) Activity for last week: Monday: 9245 steps (incl. 1.38 mi easy run) +…

PW: 147.2...I think? CW: 147.0 Last week was a whirlwind and this week may be as well. I had 2 health fairs last week. The first was for all the kids and teachers in the district and OMG....my deepest condolences to those of you who are teachers. Those kids are little heathens and it turns out that they stole some of my…

PW: 145 CW: 147.2 (my husband blames the 3 spoonfuls of gelato last night for this) I completed week 1/14 on my NRC with my long run being a 5k. I know it felt harder than it should've because I haven't ran in nearly 6 months, but it's a little disheartening that it was that tough. I should still be happy that I ran the…

ok @jugar, I did my weigh in... PW: 147.6 (I forgot to report last week....it was a bit hectic and also TOM) CW: 145 @DD265 The set meal/snack thing isn't a bad idea. As a dietitian, I wouldn't be opposed to my patient coming up with that idea. We make soooo many food-related choices throughout the day, each of those…

So since it's a major goal to be all green this month, is it possible to take a pass on the weight for the next few weeks? I fluctuate way too much to be helpful for you guys. I mean, there was a 1.8# difference before/after my workout yesterday, so I think I'd be more of a hinderance. I'm going to keep lifting and I'm…
