How do you start your day?

...See more Good morning healthy living community. I hope this entry finds you well. Just a fun and encouraging topic to discuss "How you start your mornings". I am NOT a morning person but, I love slow and quiet mornings (I look forward to them). I take my kids to their schools, come home, all lights are low, quiet morning jazz music, hot coffee, and my journal and write. Makes me feel like I set up my day for peace.  Do you think how we start our days matter? How we end them? And what routines have you set up for mornings or nights that contribute to wellness?

...See more Hey everyone, I know its been a long time since the last post, but lets get on to it today! We all know that managing weight can be a tough journey, filled with ups and downs. But here's the thing: you don't have to go through it alone! I'm excited to invite each of you to share your experiences, challenges, and victories in your weight management journey. Whether it's a small win or a big struggle, sharing can transform the process from feeling like a pressure into a source of powerful motivation. ------------------------- I've been on this path myself, and I know how crucial it is to have a supportive community. That’s why I’ll be bringing you fresh insights, tips, and encouragement every Wednesday and Sunday for the next 3-4 months. Let’s walk this road together, lifting each other up along the way. ------------------------- Today’s Tip: Conquering Cravings with Healthy Swaps! Cravings can be one of the biggest hurdles in weight management, but with a few smart swaps, you can satisfy your taste buds without derailing your progress. Here’s how you can replace those common cravings: * Salty: Instead of chips, try air-popped popcorn with a sprinkle of nutritional yeast or lightly salted almonds. Another great option is cucumber slices with a dash of sea salt and vinegar. * Sweet: Ditch sugary snacks for fresh fruit, like a bowl of mixed berries or apple slices with a bit of almond butter. For a treat, try freezing grapes or making a smoothie with your favorite fruits and a scoop of protein powder. * Spicy: Craving heat? Spice up your meals with chili flakes on roasted chickpeas or hot sauce drizzled over grilled veggies and lean protein. You can also try making a spicy salsa to pair with your snacks. * Sour: For that tangy kick, add a squeeze of lemon or lime to your water, salads, or roasted veggies. Pickles or a small serving of kimchi can also satisfy sour cravings in a healthy way. * Umami: Satisfy savory cravings with a miso soup, or add a splash of soy sauce or tamari over steamed vegetables or tofu. You can also try roasted mushrooms, which have a rich umami flavor. I know it is difficult to satisfy your cravings with it, but hey! Its just a start and for a struggle of a few weeks, once its all over, you will learn to embrace and manage your cravings better than ever. YOU CAN DO IT!                                                                                             ------------------------- Let’s Stay Connected! I’d love to hear about your journey—what’s working for you, the challenges you face, and the victories you achieve. Share your story and updates in the comments and keep us updated by creating your own posts and tagging me in them on a daily basis. Together, we can create a community of support, inspiration, and growth. Let’s make this journey one of connection and empowerment! See you on Wednesday for more tips and motivation! 💪✨

More water?
by halcyonCloud2036

...See more I recently read that sometimes when we feel pangs of hunger, it can sometimes be a sign that our body is getting dehydrated. So, I tested the theory myself and it definitely helped. Of course, if it a typical time for eating a meal that is different, but sometimes I would notice that I was "feeling hungry" at odd times so I tried drinking a glass of water and it really helped! Not sure how scientifically accurate any of this is, but give it a try. If nothing else, you will get extra water which never hurts! -Anyone else have ideas of how to avoid those little urges to snack between meals? Thanks so much for any tips!

...See more @MusicCandy Hi! I decided it was easier to just start a new thread. I can't figure out the old one. I am headed to my mom's tomorrow until Sunday night. Today is the fifth anniversary of dad's death. I couldn't get up there today, so it's the first time I won't be with her on the actual day. I won't be on here this weekend, so I'm writing this on Wednesday. Yesterday I made my first trip to the mountains in a long time. I hiked to Mary's Rock. It was not crowded and was great weather. It was kind of funny hiking in a t-shirt with snow on the ground! Today we are celebrating my DIL's birthday. The actual day is Saturday but I'll be at mom's. I am going to make the Korean dessert that I made for New Year's, since their dog ate all the leftovers and she didn't get to try much of it. Then I have some cleaning to do, and some errands to run, and then pick her up 45 min away because my son is here at work near our house. I'm going early enough to drop by my other son's house first to meet his new dog. He and his fiancee are adopting a 2 year old. I need to do laundry to prepare for my trip, and need to write detailed instructions for my pet sitters. I have an old note to work from, but I have a new lady coming one day and I need to make it extra-detailed for her. She is a pet sitting company, so it will cost me, but I need another person in my rotation of feeders. So it's a busy day today! I am grateful for my spring break this week that allows me to do all these things. I spent the weekend doing very little because I knew the rest of the week would be very busy! I don't like getting home the evening before I have to go back to work, since I won't get laundry, shopping, or cooking done, but it couldn't be helped! I hope the new thread works out, and that I tagged you correctly so you will see it! I hope your week has gone well, and here's to five more years of messages to come!

 November 14th
...See more HEY EVERYONE! WELCOME TO "WELLNESS WEDNESDAY"~  And IT's "WORLD KINDNESS DAY"~ "Happy World Kindness Day"! As you work toward your health goals, it's crucial to adopt a mindset of kindness — not just to others and the planet, but most importantly, to yourself. You matter, and your progress is worth celebrating! Here are some simple kindness tips to embrace today and carry with you throughout the remaining days of the year: 1) Be kind to your body. Next time you're in front of the mirror, say something nice to yourself 2) Stay in your lane. Don't get caught up comparing your progress to others. Your body, your path, your pace — it's all uniquely yours, and that's what makes it special. 3) Practice mindfulness Be kind to your body and your soul by slowing down and being mindful in the moment. 4) Give yourself the gift of exercise. There's no better way to invest in your future self. Start with some easy-paced walks and then gradually work in resistance training. Be kind to your muscles — they're there to support you! 5) Spread kind words.  Community is all about  making kindness contagious... Don't be shy — get involved, share your journey, and lift up others with your words. Remember... Embracing kindness can supercharge your weight loss journey & make living a Healthy Lifestyle feel like second nature.... So go on out & spread some Kindness! "QUESTION" What CAN YOU DO "TODAY" (& beyond) TO BE KIND TO YOURSELF (OR SPREAD KINDNESS TO OTHERS) To Help Supercharge Your Own "Healthy Living & Wellness Journey"?!

Let me know any tips or ideas you have on simple ways to cut unhealthy habits and to live a healthier and more active lifestyle.  Tip #1: start cutting down on fast food stops.  I know it's quick and easy, but it's very unhealthy.  Pack an apple, banana, or granola bar to hold you over until you can get something healthier!!

...See more Hlo everyone... Today only I joined this community.... My greetings to everyone . Hope you are all doing good...  So I just wanted to write a little bit about emotional support.. As we all need that right but still asking for emotional support is like so difficult because we think it's not a normal thing.... But just the way we get injured and quickly ask for help Or seek for support to cure that injury... Just like that we should seek support for our emotional health because emotional health is a important aspects of us we can't take it lightly. Hope you all take good care of your emotional health and never feel awkward to seek emotional support .  Have a great day 😁😁
