I'm also really struggling to stay vegan. The little things are easy, I find—substitutions for eggs and milk and other baking things aren't a problem for me. It's the big things that get me. I think it's a problem of laziness to cook and letting non-vegans cook the house meals that are causing me to fail. For recipes, I…

I still have to go to the orthopedic folks. I got an xray at Stat Health, so now I need to get a cast on and see if any ligaments/etc were affected. This just happened yesterday (6/10)

Thanks guys! Doctor says I broke my distal fibula, the outside bone right above the ankle. Even just shifting hurts it; I've never hated gravity more lol I work on a horse ranch, so that was my exercise. I'm going to have to find out how people exercise at home/in a gym because I've never done any of that before! If anyone…

I avoid oil (and I'm vegan so no butter) and I use vegetable broth for everything :)

I got to the point where walking 30k steps a day is my comfortable activity level (I've been working at horse ranches for a year). Whenever I laze around for more than a few days, my muscles feel like they're atrophying and I get a little less firm! I like to feel like I can stand on my feet all day. When my feet hurt, I'm…

I hate working out for the sake of working out :( I'm trying to change that, but so far it's still no good! However, I am working at four different barns to get my exercise in! I'm mucking out stalls, riding, and lifting hay/feed/etc, among other jobs. I'm only getting 12-15k steps a day in, but for now I'll be satisfied…

I'm just starting as a working student at an eventing barn! I've only ever done endurance, so I'm really excited to learn another discipline! It feels so odd to go from a year of being in the saddle 6-8 hours a day now down to a slow hour! But it's such a great opportunity to make those hours count outside of the saddle!…

Long Island!

I've done a couple of quick fix trims after 2-3 weeks for some of our horses, and those wipe me out! I can't imagine doing so many!

I was on bed rest for a month after working 10-13 hour days, six days a week, for seven months. The muscle loss is astounding. I'm trying to build it back up, but it's hard when I'm only working part time now.

I say I'm using this summer to properly transition, and although my baking is all vegan now, two of my five meals usually aren't. I'm having a lot of trouble finding things I like. Beans, legumes, tofu, quinoa (basically everything) has never been a part of my diet before! But I'm trying

I'm similar to KristieJC—I usually hit about 1350, but I try to eat 500 more calories when I'm working on the ranch!

Requested!

I started dressage for the first time today! I done yoga for 6-7 years but have dropped off for some reason. I should start it up again, thanks!

Vanilla softserve! Especially the kind you always find in chinese buffets

True! I went for five all at once (when I'd never had any before). The whole store watched lol TNP has slept for more than 12 hours straight

Crywolf!

I'm new! I'll try for 60 min I guess!

No! HYE been on a horse in the water?

I bounce around different countries every three months; I work with horses, whether that's teaching lessons, training horses, conditioning them for races, kid camps, cattle ranches, etc.

I add them to those No-Bake Energy Balls. 1 cup raw oats 1/2 cup ground flax seed 1 Tbsp chia seeds 5 Tbsp chocolate chips 6 Tbsp peanut butter (or almond butter, I mix it up or use both) 5 Tbsp honey 1 tsp vanilla Vanilla protein powder Optional It makes about 20 little bite-sized balls that are good snacks or even…

My fave: 200 mL crushed ice 1/3 c almond milk heaping handful of kale 1/2 c pineapple 1/3 of a mango 2-3 strawberries 3 scoops Greek yogurt Put it in a bowl with granola and diced mango & strawberries!! I find it's better with more pineapple, but different amounts of fruit make it totally different!
