  • Found an awesome high-protein wrap by egglife - eggwhite wraps. They come in original & cinnamon flavor. I use these in lieu of tortillas or breads, the original i use to make chicken wraps for lunch and the cinnamon one is a good one for a sweet treat - i add almond butter and sliced fruits + a drizzle of lankanto…

  • Hi All, yesterday made a re-commitment to myself and involved my girls to keep me accountable. ~ I think it's a mindset/block, but I've been struggling to show up for myself (consistently) I have short bursts of momentum and then it start to wane. Anyhow, girls and I did a Zumba video last night to start with something…
  • @jessicakrall8 - So sorry I missed my weigh-in it's been a hectic week.

  • Welcome @iradi8 ShapeShifters ~ As the month comes to a close soon... Let's regain focus to reach our goals. Even if the journey is up and down -we strive to be better off than when we started (even if that just means we learned something from a failed approach).
  • Coming in a bit late to update the weigh-in, but I did check my weight this past weekend.

My husband's work schedule shifted this week…
  • [quote=I am loving this weather as well. How do you like the taste of the protein powder or drink? I I’m starting to look for a protein powder so that I can make smoothies.

  • @JenHul - congrats! Reaching that next tier is a great accomplishment. Stick to it - you're doing great.
  • Yukie_OP Weigh-in day: Friday Highest starting weight - 151 (12/25/2023) PW: 145.8 CW:146.2 *Seems to have gone in the opposite direction this week - Sorry team!.. But overall, I'm doing the right things and I'm definitely more active, so I'm not going to stress it.
  • Hi All a quick check-in: Grateful for the great weather recently- sunny but fresh. Challenges: Recently started adding a protein shake prior to my treadmill walk in the mornings (per Tim Ferris of the 4Hr body: 30g protein w/in 30 min of waking up), which i like, because I do get hungry as soon as I'm up. However I also…
  • Happy Sunday & St. Patrick's Day!🍀 Started my day with a protein shake, followed by a 30 min. walk. Grateful for: a bright sunny morning with fresh air.

  • Happy Sunday & St. Patrick's Day!🍀 Started my day with a protein shake, followed by a 30 min. walk. It was bright and sunny with fresh morning air. Author Tim Ferris in The 4hr Body, indicates that eating (30g of protein) within 30 min of waking, followed by light exercise is more effective than a fasted workout, so i am…
  • Sorry for the delayed weigh-in Weigh-in day: Friday Highest starting weight - 151 (12/25/2023) CW:145.8 PW: 146 Miniscule change.
  • @Paz922 - I work for a Wealth Management firm and and stepping up in my role to become an associate financial advisor. For the past 18months or so, I've been getting the applicable licenses (passed 2 state exams last year). Now i have left: Life & Health insurance licensing to obtain (which consists of a 52 hr course +…
  • Wednesday Check-in I had a smooth morning (as planned- I wrote it out the prior night). Did my early wake time, lemon water, treadmill walk while studying, healthy & hearty warm breakfast. So far a great start. Challenge: my hips are always problematic (stiff/achy), I'm incorporating mobility stretches after my treadmill…

  • @Paz922 - As you are getting over your flu, maybe try broths with veggies (if not vegetarian, bone broth with chicken breast), you can even add rice or substitute with healthier grains (quinoa or brown rice).
  • Tuesday Check-in Grateful for: Trader Joes and their ready to go (packaged) salads - I can stock up with a few for lunches on busy weeks. Challenges: I didn't do my early AM treadmill walk - i talked myself into sleeping-in with the excuse that I'm still sore from weekend yard work. The goal is to hop on the treadmill…

  • @jessicakrall8 - so sorry to hear you're struggling, please know that we are here for you. We all go through ups and downs and you deserve to give yourself grace. When you feel like all you can do is one thing (out of the many you might have for yourself) no matter how small -it is enough. You are enough and every day is…
  • Saturday overview: Lemon water, study time and yard work in lieu of treadmill - my fit tracker recognizes it's hard work, so I'm good with not doing anything extra today. I'm exhausted! Grateful for a clear, sunny day which allowed us to clear up the front yard- the grass and weeds were getting out of control. Also, my…

  • @Paz922 - my neighbors have lemon and orange trees, so they frequently stock me with lemons, I've never used a lemon concentrate, so i can't say if it would be much different. And I'm not sure i notice benefits to the lemon water just yet, but it does help my brain wake up given that i have my coffee later with breakfast.
