I'm still trying to find some good low-carb foods. My father and I are trying to go low-carb, and he just got some bread that's whole grain. We try to eat more chicken and beef during dinner instead of pork and ham in order to keep away from the carbs and fats.

Hello! I struggle primarily with social anxiety and depression, and possible bipolar (I simply haven't pursued it). So I can relate, particularly with the whole getting out of bed thing. This week it's been harder and harder for me to do anything! Feel free to add me. Plus this is a fabulous group! :) Heather

Feel free to add me! That's definitely a rough combination of problems you got going on there. Have you tried speaking to a nutritionist about what you can eat?

Running is a great therapy :) Feel free to add me! I suffer from depression and anxiety as well and possible bipolar.

You should be eating under 100 carbs :) Dang! I forgot that we have some people in a different hemisphere :) Well, enjoy the warm weather while you can. Still go out and enjoy yourself. Autumn should still have some nice weather!

Hi Debz! :) I have anxiety and depression, and suffer from social anxiety as well. All of them have certainly gotten better over the years, especially my social anxiety, although some things sometimes trigger it. The phone used to be my biggest fear. I am on Celexa for my anxiety, and sometimes when my depression gets…

My report: I've been taking in a lot more protein than before. Still not meeting my goal, but I am taking in a lot more :) I don't have a special routine yet. But I do need to create one. That will be my goal this week :) As for non-exercise stuff, I consider socializing good for you. Hoping to get that in on Friday, going…

Okay, I'm gonna push these challenges for another week. I'm back on the wagon for good :)

Okay, so my report so far. I've been eating more protein, but haven't been meeting my goal. As for my routine, I plan on making a real routine, preferably one with the workouts recommended for my race in August. For non-exercise related wellness stuff, I've been taking in more fruits.

That's a great workout! Good for you, girl :)

Awesome!! I totally don't blame you. I was so excited about getting a 100% on my asepsis quiz that I honestly did a little dance. Really easy stuff, but like you said, any 100% matters :)

LOL Sleep is good! Wow! 600-700 calories per WALK? How far are you walking, girl?!

My mama used to do tours at the Witch Village. In all honesty, it's not what it used to be. Salem is a huge money-maker now, and they're much less focused on the history and the energy that's already there. However, the ritual room in the back of the Witch Village is where I grew up doing a lot of my rituals and classes.…

I'm glad the challenges are helping :) I've been really off-track too, so it's been hard for me to post simply because I have nothing to update on, haha. I did update the challenges on Monday, but they didn't show up at the top because I didn't make them a sticky post.

I don't have kids, so I can't even imagine the stress that must put on you. But I can relate as far as struggling to find time to do anything. My friend/family time is sort of like your kid time. Necessary for well-being, but still takes up time in the day. Here is a regular week for me: Monday I have an 8-8:50 class,…

I'm doing good!! I've been so busy doing schoolwork and stuff. How have you been?!

My mother and her boyfriend vend in New England, I wonder if you have ever crossed paths before :)

I was at 1481 out of 2500 mg of sodium today :) I didn't do any core today, but I did a lot of cardio! Does volunteering to do something in my nursing class count as being nice? :)

Thank you! My mother taught a children's program for the last few years, so I will also be using some of her ideas. However, hers was mainly young young kids, where I want it to be from young kids all the way up to teenagers, so obviously having different types of activities and responsibilities (as far as being in ritual…

I don't use magick for weight loss just because you never know what you're going to get when you mess with it. It's like a "love spell." You can't force something that isn't meant to be. However, I like that you use these things for focus and willpower, rather than the weight loss itself. Much more centered around you,…

So I'm gonna have NO chance to do challenge updates today, so they'll be updated tomorrow.

I will be more than happy to send some helping energy your way as well. It does get easier. Once you get past the week/two week window, you don't even want those things anymore.

Beautiful song :)

Oh no! Hope your little girl feels better! The babies always come first, no matter what :)

Okay, no more funny business over here on my end. Back to eating completely healthy, which is hard when you practically live at your school. Back on an exercise regimen. The sale is still moving thankfully, but I want to start seeing real results!!

I celebrated Imbolc with my group last weekend and it was a beautiful ritual! Merry Meet, feel free to add me!

Yesterday's daily report. Totally forgot! Was under my calories by 130-something. I was pretty impressed considering I didn't even eat lunch. Glad I had a bagel yesterday morning! Didn't go to the gym but I did my walking. Going to the gym today!

AzureGreen is such a great website for stuff like that. My mother's boyfriend orders stuff through it as well as sells stuff through them, so he gets a lot of stuff wholesale. They have beautiful stuff!

I was a bit under calories today but I am happy with my diary! Back to the gym tomorrow!

Was under my calorie goal today by 19 when I factored in my walk to and from work. Didn't go to the gym, but walked. Back to the gym next week once things settle down from my schedule. I need a good run! My daily walks aren't really "scenic" but they're calming in the morning. No one's around, it warms me up on the cold…
