@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…

Sunday check-in. Grateful for a slow-paced Sunday. I'm really sore from doing yard work yesterday (plus my cycle started yesterday-sorry if TMI), so I'll allow myself a rest day.

@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.

@jessicakrall8 - Hello Jessica! Happy to be back -thanks for the welcoming. I had mentioned before when I had dropped off the group over a year ago that I was doing a lot of work-related studying on top of long work hours+ some life transitions happening (moved my family)... Today, I'm in a much better place (a little less…

Hi Everyone, Grateful for: today is my 2nd day streak of waking early (& staying up), to walk on the treadmill (while reading/studying), so I'm feeling good. * all checked off so far* Lemon Water * Treadmill walk (at least 35 min) * Log meals @mightybunky - Where do you swim? I love swimming, wish I could do more of it.…

Hi all. Happy Thursday. @Pupowl thanks for the welcome back :), love the images you shared and way to go on all the things you got done! My morning is going great so far. Woke up early, drank my lemon water, hopped on the treadmill and walked while I read my study material 💪 and had a hearty healthy breakfast. Feeling…

Hi coming in a bit late , but would like to join if possible. Quick Bio: Been apart of MFP for a few years now. Have lost and gained through the years, but for the last 2 years, I've been focusing on my professional development at work which involves a lot of study time and sitting. Still juggling work and study with…

Hi there! looks like we have similar goals and similar starting weights (busy mom working full time and I sit way too much as part of my office job). Also recently started eating more plant based. Would love to share ideas/meals, as I'm having a hard time hitting my daily protein goal. Sent you a friend request.
