John McDougall July
I thought I'd dedicate this month's thread to Dr. McDougall. I was sad to learn he passed away. He and his wife have been big influences on me, and I always appreciated how they share everything on their website without charge or making you join anything. I have purchased several of his books and cookbooks over the years.…

Recipes
minimalistbaker.com/southwest-tofu-scramble/ Made this for breakfast this morning. Easily made ETL by not using the olive oil and salt. It was really good, and will likely be my new go to tofu scramble recipe. I made the recipe as is other than leaving those out, added probably an extra cup of kale and chopped up the…

WFPB Journey June
Jumping in to start June since Nanc hasn't yet. I am rolling along. I crept up a few pounds last month due to some stress and not so wonderful choices. I am totally back on track the past few days and will right the ship. Looking forward to another month of travel on this WFPB journey with y'all. :) <3

Dashing through December
Hi All, getting a late start for December and a late start to the day! Thought I'd get December up and running before I head to the office.

100% July!
I mentioned I'm shooting for 100% in July, and Nanc liked that, so here we go! What are you doing to be 100% in July? :)

Magic March!
We have to dedicate this month to our Magic member. Nanc, we hope your recovery is quick and easy and you are walking tall and feeling great soon. <3 Just starting off the March thread and will post more tomorrow. It was a long day and I'm feeling really stressed/tired right now. I did make a trip to the store and got lots…

Nutritious November
Hi all! We all forgot about starting the November thread. It has been a crazy month and I'm heading into the end of the year which is always super stressful and busy so I don't know what to do with myself right now. I am going to take some time this weekend to make a few soups to freeze in portions and prep salad. I laid…

Optimistic October
Mornin' Ladies (and Scott if you stop by) and hello October! As I mentioned I have had some slips lately not eating quite as well and missing workout classes. It stops now! I don't care what is going on at the office I have to keep up with my classes because they seem to be a catalyst for keeping everything else in line. I…

Jazz it up July
Not too inspired of a title but it's early and I have only had one cup of coffee! <3 y'all

Fab February
Time for a new thread! I am looking forward to continuing to develop better habits in February. I was by no means perfect in January, but working really hard to develop new habits and let go of some definitely NOT good for me habits. My focus for this month is making a couple non-negotiables. Mindfulness for at least 10…

January - Nutritarian New Year
It is tradition to make January "Nutritarian New Year" although we've expanded the group a bit to embrace all the plant based docs and plans. Main thing is WFPB, little to no SOS. Would love to hear your goals/ambitions for 2022. I'm really going to try to make 2022 the BEST year ever! I had two glasses of wine with dinner…

Atomic August
Since we've been talking about Atomic Habits lately I thought this would be a good title for August. I got a bunch of cooking done this afternoon and all set for a seriously good WFPB kind of week! Breakfasts will be oats with blueberries and raspberries, ground chia/flax mix, cinnamon, turmeric, black pepper. Lunches will…

Active April
Hi all! Happy April and all that. My goals this month are to continue the 6 week plan (1 full week down so far) and to get some form of exercise every single day. Carla, are you still doing the Clean Food Dirty Girl meal plans? I get recipes from that site sometimes and they are always good. Austin, I love collard greens!…

Fitness February!
I'll get it started for February. I have been doing yoga the past 3 nights in a row, so I thought hey let's make it Fitness February and it will be a reminder to me to keep it up! I have been and will continue to be a bit hit or miss on checking in. With the work on the house and being swamped at the office everything…

January - Nutritarian New Year!
We expanded the focus of the group to embrace all the WFPB doctors/plans but I wanted to use Nutritarian New Year for January anyway. I got my Panda Planner out yesterday and am going to put a real effort into filling it out every day. I also have a cute little pocket calendar to carry in my purse and I'm going to use it…

Nutritious November
Happy November! Hard to believe the year is winding down. It has been unreal, and I won't miss 2020 a bit. Looking back at end of October posts... Magic, love that Lulu shares your veggies! My pup is always front and center when I'm putting together my salads. He especially likes carrots, green beans and summer squash.…

Optimal October!
Yeah it's a little lame for a title but sometimes coming up with these alliterations gets difficult! LOL I am going to continue to focus on WFPB and getting on that treadmill for at least 15 minutes every morning this week. My goal is to get to where I'm doing 30 minutes on the treadmill every single morning, just…

Step it up September!
Hi all, this title is mostly for me. I definitely need to step it up!!! I'm drowning in work and stress and my head is not in the right place at all. Working on that this month, including getting serious about exercise of some sort every single day. I know how much it helps my attitude. Today was good... B - ezekiel toast…

Awesome August
Hi All... I didn't get a chance to check in yesterday. I was busy with the house then I crashed after dinner. A little sore today but not bad. Going to spend the day at my desk trying to catch up some work. Plus laundry, set up my salads, cut up watermelon, make salad dressing. And treadmill. Magic, I think Merry Maids…

Jump into July
Hi all... so happy to be going into another month with you! This is a supportive group and everyone is welcome. We have a monthly thread just so it's easier to keep up with each other. My goals for this month are to continue with no alcohol and lots of WFPB yumminess. I will be getting back into exercise as soon as my back…

Mindful May
Dusted off my old mindfulness textbook from a course I took a few years ago. So much stress and anxiety going around these days, and mindfulness is a great way to manage that and avoid the less healthy ways of coping like overeating or eating junky comfort foods or opening a bottle of wine. The wine thing might just be me.…

Magical March
Watching Harry Potter while I do some chores so Magical March sounded good. And it's like a shout-out to our sweet member Magic! Worked most of the day now home and started laundry, made salad dressing, set up salads, cleaned chard and kale ready to cook with onion, garlic, mushrooms, and I think I'll add some pinto beans…

Fresh Start February
I thought this was kind of an appropriate title since Austin's suggestion that we update the description of the group to embrace all the vegan docs who inspire us. Austin, glad to hear you are making progress on your office. My home projects seemed to come to an abrupt halt late last year with work craziness. Thanks for…

January - Nutritarian New Year!
I mentioned on my last post in December that I was going to go ahead and get January started. We've all been posting some goals for January but I'll reiterate mine. Total focus on health in January, including diet and exercise, and also getting back into practicing mindfulness on a daily basis. I think I need to set some…

Never Give Up November
Started to post in October and realized it is November. Already! Continuing my thoughts from my last post. I also got Chef AJ's book Secrets to Ultimate Weight Loss on my kindle. I seem to be on a reading kick lately and after a short break into mindless entertainment reading I'm back to more health and life type books. I…

Merry Merry Month of May
Hey it's only the 2nd and I remembered to start the May thread! I have been pretty much 100% 6 week plan strict for a couple weeks now. A couple days slightly over on the grains or nuts. Down 10 pounds so far, although I've been stuck this week. That always happens when I've lost a lot quickly so I'm not worried about it.…
-
Nutritarian New Year!
Home already (my NYE party days are long gone, I was home at 9:00 lol) so I thought I'd get the January thread going. Looking forward to another year of hanging out with my wonderful ETL friends. <3 Carla, in case it gets lost in December's thread, be sure to update us on how Ruby is doing. I didn't get all my prepping…

Dashing through December
Been hearing too many Christmas Carols since Thanksgiving and thinking of Dashing through the Snow. LOL Welcome to December ETLers! Austin, re: your last post in November. That is so funny I was thinking last night I miss my old peanut butter cookies I used to make at Christmas (along with about a dozen other varieties) so…

Salad is the Main Dish September
Actually remembered a new month had begun! I'm all stocked up on goodies to make salad the main dish for at least one meal a day. I have red and green leaf lettuce, radishes, carrots, baby spinach, beets, red peppers, cucumbers. I plan to make some E2 hummus to mix with balsamic for dressing. I've decided to start another…

Active in August
I really intend to get back to regular exercise this month so I am going with Active in August for this month's topic. I have been working so much that I'm feeling worn out and weak. I want to get back to some strength training to build up my energy and stamina. Made a grocery trip on the way home from the office today and…
