@Rachelle Weimer First, don't beat yourself up over yesterday. Life happens, and family stress can make everything harder. what's important is that you're recognizing the connection between what you eat and how you feel, including how it affects your sleep. that's progress! I love that you're already planning ahead for your travels and bringing your protein and bone broth options with you. let's focus on keeping a few simple habits consistent while you're away rather than trying to be perfect. You've got this, Rachelle!!

@Karen Ryan this is a great example of progress, Karen! You planned ahead, brought what you needed, and made better choices even with a busy travel schedule, and that's exactly what we're working toward. and I actually like your strategy! You don't have to avoid everything or feel guilty about enjoying the day. Be intentional with your portions, enjoy the foods you really want, and avoid the mindless grazing, then get right back to your routine. That's what making this sustainable looks like and I see those veggies in the Bloody Mary! Have a great time!

@Rachelle Weimer just to be clear, we dont want to avoid, we want to rotate!

@Rose Otten-Paggioli you are off to a great start with your workouts!

@Karen Ryan yea its in the actual post.you dont see it?

@Rachelle Weimer thats the thing tho, there will always be stress..higher stress may come and go and its okay to have your moments where you eat stuff off plan once in a while but we need to get you to start using some tools you can carry over now and in future. Have you checked out the food noise program under classroom?

@Erin Pace Great!

@Rachelle Weimer eat fruit with your medication, that will give you enough subsisdence to digest it but easy enough for your body to process so you'll still get fasting effects

@Cindy Paluck set n alarrm!
