Adhering to my morning ritual. Get up, get into workout clothes I laid out the night before, coffee that I preset the night before, meditate, walk the dog, watch the headlines, and work out. The same routine every day really sets the tone for me, I feel like I’ve conquered the day before it’s even started :)

I’m worried what so much alcohol every week is doing to me physically.

SW = 165.6 Halloween = 160.0 Thanksgiving = 155 New Year’s = 150 If I can make this first goal at Halloween, I feel like I’ll get a lot of motivation out of that. Around a pound a week doesn’t sound like a lot, but I also know maintaining the calorie deficit is SO hard.

I’m going on a beach trip with girlfriends in six months and I, too, want to wear a red bikini. Or black. Or one with flowers. I literally have a drawer full of cute two pieces that I never feel good about wearing. I want to feel good when I put it on - and not “good for today” or “ehhh good enough.” Like, slap it on and…

This is so dumb - but I look forward to the day when the waistband of my shorts or workout pants doesn’t roll down because of my belly. Not the highest issue on my list, but one that comes to mind right now.

The best thing to keep repeating like a broken record is that with each day of working out, having a calorie deficit, drinking water, etc. - it’s an investment in my long-term self rather than my tomorrow self. In other words, I didn’t gain…

I used to be a daily diet soda drinker. I switched to flavored sparkling water for the month of January and for some reason this year I broke the soda habit. Now I just have it occasionally if I’m eating out for lunch. I almost never have it by itself because it makes me hungry. I just feel better mentally about replacing…

Sending good thoughts your way! I empathize with the idea that you feel like you can't move forward until you see the old you in the mirror - but I'd be willing to bet that just moving away from the source/inspiration of your prior bad habits will be the kickstarter you need to get back to that physical place. As for the…

I've been a gym go-er since college but I'm always nervous when I start at a new place because I never know where anything is, like the towelettes for wiping down the equipment or the ladies locker room. I second the advice of ask questions of trainers and regular gym-goers - but if that makes you too nervous, just stick…

I always think donuts are more satisfying in theory than in reality - they are sugary and tastey, but only satisfying for that first bite. And you never actually feel more full than if you ate, say, a cookie or a granola bar. I'm always a big fan of splitting it in half and trashing the uneaten half in the office kitchen.…
