Hospital ICU clerk here. 7pm-7am

I have 4 more hours left but have to stick around for a 5th so I can get my finger looked at. Then another 12 and I'm off for two whole days lol HI!

1. Log everything 2. get a run in. soccer practice counts. if it's cancelled, a real run. 3. Bed early so I can gym tomorrow morning!

Don't you dare tell me Gluten Free Beer is even comparable to the real stuff lol. I miss my beer. There's some okay ones out there but...just... no.

It's definitely more challenging to develop the habit on the weekends for me too. Monday through Friday, I am in a routine. I log the day as soon as I get to work. Weekends, I sleep in and am out of routine. As soon as I remember though, I log. Just gotta remind yourself. Maybe put an alarm on your phone or something?

Celiac for 3 years now. Love hate it for me. I miss 'real' pizza. And chicken fingers. Etc. But I have opened my mind to a wider variety of healthier options (meats, fruits, veg, etc) I agree that if you don't NEED to be gluten free - DON'T. That being said, society is so carb heavy now and we as a population could cut…

Lactose intolerant Celiac here! Leftovers from dinner the night before today is - Broccoli, Mashed potatoes, and BBQ Ribs:smile: Salads with a vinaigrette dressing. I'll mix an avocado with tuna (usually a seasoned can ie Lemon Pepper) and put it on rice crackers if I need something carby. Spaghetti Squash or Zoodles as a…

My jaw literally dropped. You look amazing! Congrats!

Story of my life. I just try to plan on it or make it worth it ;)

Also, batch cook bacon and have a few slices ready to go.

I have Celiac Disease and must adhere to a strict gluten free diet. Additionally, I am lactose intolerant so I eat a low dairy diet (occasionally some Greek Yogurt or a bit of cheese or frozen yogurt). That all being said, I did the Whole30 in May and LOVED it. Wait, LOVED is an unfair word... hindsight - really enjoyed…

NAILS NAILS NAILS. I used to do my own all the time and loved it but the last while, it's turned into a bit of a chore. SO - I decided to spoil myself with a salon visit these last two times. When I did them myself, Rounded square and any and all types of nail polish/nail art. The techs have gently coherced me into going…

So situational. Taste for taste, I prefer sugar. I generally don't add much sugar to my food or drinks though

What about those hand bikes? They look weird but I hear they help. I'd ask your PT, they should be able to point you in the right directiom

This is a great reminder. Sometimes I find myself "Doing everything riiiiight" but sleeping <5 hrs and wonder why I feel like junk.

Also, if the wastefulness is your main concern for the K-Cup, they have the reusable k-cup things where you put your own coffee in and use and re use the k cup. I go the tassimo route because I'm the only one who drinks coffee in the house. And I will also second the manual element of the french press. Keep an eye on…

Wow, unbelievable. I think the part that makes this such a powerful success story is that it encompasses the LIFESTYLE change to a 't'. Amazing commitment and dedication.

I wrapped up my whole30 on May 30. And just about done the reintroductions. It was great! Helped me reassess my food (and liquor) relationships. And, I managed to lose 10 lbs in the month too.

I used to be that way. And it would affect my mood, noticeably. Suggestions: Toss the scale or hide it for awhile. Break the habit. Eat well. Track your intake. Once you have those POSITIVE habits created, pull out the scale. Weigh once a week at first. I use the trendweight app as mentioned above and I like it now, it…

ANy pro tips for someone looking to start up? My plan is to start May 1 just because I know this next week will be full of beer and wine and eating out so I don't want to lie to myself. (Best friend is here from out of town)

Does it blend well or do you use a blender??

Fried egg sammich! <3 Egg, GF bread, tbsp mayo, 2 slices bacon, tomato. And a coffee.

Not an allergy but I'm celiac and lactose intolerant. So I can certainly appreciate the challenges,

My concern is more along the lines of temptation. If he's under goal for the day and can have his treat of choce to up the calories, there I sit watching him eat a tub of mint chocolate chip ice cream.

Bring up the convo of couch to 5k maybe? It's a pretty basic progression and maybe she'd be into it if you're still doing it with her. if not, I think the fairest way would be like @wizzybeth suggested, 2x a week for you, the rest with her. If you want an added challenge, look into buying ankle weights? You could walk the…

It's really disappointing. Weightloss is already such a huge market, let's over-inform and mis-inform people looking to better themselves. =(

"Excuse me, do you have a bandaid?" "Um, there might be one in the first aid kit...?" "Because you are cut. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) "

What sort of meals are you cooking? High protein isn't terrible. i'd just cook more veggies, eat those first. Then the protein and then - if you're still hungry, whatever else. Just because he's bulking doesn't mean it's always "fat foods" just eat in moderation. Serve out your portion and his and immediately put the rest…

Does alcohol really affect it THAT much? I mean, I am sure it probably doesn't help get rid of it (lol) but can it actually be part of why it's not going away??
