  • Yoga is AWESOME! You can move at your own pace and just do what feels comfortable. I would also recommend water activities. I did those in physical rehab and it doesn't hurt but also allows for stretching!

  • I am a teacher as well, in Kentucky, in a small town that is populated by a lot of farmers. When my kids ask, I say that it was a personal CHOICE and that no one made me do it. IF they ask further, I tell them that I saw a video on factory farming. However, people still ask me if I eat chicken or if I can eat protein at…

  • I agree with snrodriguez. Homemade meals are the way to go, it will definitely help with your sodium issue. I also agree with her advice about calories! I am given 1800 a day and it is hard for me to use all those up! Good Luck!

  • I would go with some veggie hot dogs, sausage, or bacon. Boca burgers are low in carbs and high in protein! It may not sound all that appetizing but vegan meats are the bomb! Feel free to check out my food diary for the nutritional info! Good luck!

  • I always surround myself with fruit. Since they are zero points, it is a easy snack. I also stay away from frozen meals! It is easier to make your own on weekends and eat it throughout the week. I also keep a points calculator on me at all times (on my phone), so that I never guestimate how many points something is.
