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!…

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!

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!

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!
