Annie Moler Annie, it’s so nice to meet you! If you haven’t yet, please take a look at our Getting Started section. I’ve linked to a specific vid in there that will help you comfortably and confidently get started with creating a plan with zero feeling of overwhelm.

I also encourage you to have a look at the 12 Minutes Or Less, section, as those are the quickest vids to begin getting in more movement without feeling like you have to carve out a chunk of time. And remember, I’m always around so you can post your questions in the community, or DM me privately for a chat.

Annie Moler Annie, you are so darn cutesy! ☺️

Kim Williams I will put together a mini workout of those exercises so you have that resource to use here. ❤️

Hi Kim. I’m sorry your going through this. I had several bulges in my cervical region that was very painful, so I can relate.

Since you’re recovering, ease back in with core stability exercises like pelvic tilts, bird dogs, and glute bridges. Focus on spinal decompression (cat-cow, child’s pose) and avoid heavy spine-loading moves like deep squats or deadlifts. When ready, strengthen with hip thrusts, step-ups, and seated band rows.

Listen to your body and go slow. Test out some of those moves in a VERY gentle way. It’s better to go slow than have an undue setback. That, combined with a decompression focus helped me recover.

Do you by chance have a doorway pull-up bar? I hang on mine daily for mid and low back decompression. 10-15 seconds.

Late night meals and snacks can lead to bloating, weight gain, indigestion, poor sleep, and even acid reflux, especially if you lay down too soon after eating. That’s why I try to avoid eating after 9pm, giving my digestion enough time to rest.

One trick that has helped me for years is using saltine crackers to curb late night cravings. The slight saltiness is satisfying, and just one or two crackers is enough to take the edge off without interfering with goals. But this only works if you stick to 1-2 crackers, not a whole sleeve! 😜

Keep eating mindfully. Give it a try!

Hey Ms.T! My daughter is doing well. Thank you for asking! 🤗

For lemon water, go with a ratio based on taste AND how it feels on your stomach. Sometimes too much acidity can cause a stomachache so modify as necessary. Be sure to use a straw- that’s very important to protect your teeth’s enamel. They say using warm water is better but I can down it easier when it’s cold, so that’s up you. Some also add honey but I prefer to not have the added sugar, especially since I tend to drink lemon water on an empty stomach.

Jen, your motivation and enthusiasm is a whole vibe!!!

Don't get anything from the bread aisle. The fresh bakery department is best. I usually do the multigrain sourdough from Wegman's bakery. The family is even getting on board!

Here’s a peek at my Reverse Food Journal - things I made a decision to say ‘no’ to because it wasn’t the appropriate time for a splurge. Use the journal to your advantage. It works!
