What's On Your Tuesday Menu, RNYers?
Great goal! You got it!
This far out do you still track regularly or do you just do a check in every once in a while? I'm always curious about how vets keep on track!

I weigh almost daily. When I am up 3, I generally trac****il they disappear. I usually have to track 3-4 times a year now. This works for me.

I hope this doesn't sound horrible, but it's somehow reassuring that even someone as successful as you has bad moments and has to reign it it. It's a daily struggle for all of us, I suppose. I am in your camp - I weigh every day and I have a number in my head where if I go over that or near it, I do everything to bring it back down. I have stayed between 150 and 160 for the past five months, and 160 is my UPPER number - so I like that you don't have to track your food everyday, but when you get towards that upper number, you track. I would like to get to that point!

Of course you can do this Laura. You have done an amazing job at losing the weight and being such a good role model. Even if you did post about crappy carbs. It shows us that they can creep back into our lives.
Can you post some of your meals that you eat now after being a vet? I would like to know what people are eating at 5 years out.
Good Morning Everyone!
Hope all of the meetings go well today...have I mentioned, I hate meetings? I think everyone hates meetings and yet all companies everywhere have them non stop...anyways, rant over :)

Oh god, I can't even think about my steps it makes me so sad. I'm lucky when I get to 5,000 in this new job.
Apparently this is a "trend" in healthy work places. We'd have to be able to walk outside here, but if you had a big office (or warehouse) you could totally do it inside even!
