It’s always bittersweet when we have to say goodbye to our fellows at the end of the year. Our team had the pleasure of working with Dr. Li and Dr. Anyalebechi these past 12 months. We wish them all the best in their careers and can’t wait to see them again soon!

Your summer outdoor plans should include the ! Located on Lake Natoma in Gold River, here you can rent stand-up paddleboards, canoes and kayaks to explore with. You might just find that you love this type of physical activity! Cheers to the weekend!

The goal is not perfection. The goal is continuous improvement and consistency. Even a small amount of something is beneficial when it comes to your health goals. For example, one glass of water per day is better than no water. Ten minutes of walking is better than 5. Eating vegetables 3 days per week is better than only once per week. Keep making small, incremental changes that will add up to big health improvements!

Don't let travel days throw off your physical activity plans...get those steps in while at the airport! Most recently my flight got delayed 2.5 hours and I used up some of that time by walking the very long terminal. People watching + steps = fun way to pass the time!

Fuel up on fiber on your drive home from work. This way you’re less tempted to stop somewhere for food on your way home and can prevent going into the dinner prep/meal overly hungry. Eat the rainbow! 🌈

It seems that we are always wanting a distraction these days. We are constantly on our phones, even while watching TV or with other people. We reach for food to give us something to do when we feel bored. Learn to sit in stillness - feel your feelings, the good and the bad. Try to be more in the present and observe all the greatness in your life!

Thanks Costco for this week’s lunch. Got the quinoa kale chickpea salad from the deli section, added chopped snap peas and little bit of feta cheese. Always make sure to get in fiber with every meal!

Eating out is sometimes a necessary part of a busy day or week. Don’t be afraid to ask questions about the menu items.

For my food, I got a healthier breakfast sandwich from Starbucks and for my drink I went next-door to Nugget Market because I like their matcha latte better. I got my latte with soy milk instead of almond milk for some extra protein, but made sure to ask and confirm that it was unsweetened soy milk. I also clarified if they add sweetener to their matcha lattes because every coffee shop makes these differently. Thankfully no extra sweetener was used.

And for my fiber in case you were wondering, I have a tupperware of leftover roasted vegetables from my lunch yesterday that I will be eating once I get into work. Happy Friday, everyone!

Good health starts with good daily habits. Make sure to get in your medicine through purposeful movement, calming breaths and healthy food choices - not just from pills.

Beans are a great plant source of protein and are packed with fiber. Try having this Mediterranean Dense Bean Salad from for a flavorful lunch this week. Skip the honey/maple syrup in the dressing and get your sweetness from the sweet potatoes. https://www.asaucykitchen.com/mediterranean-dense-bean-salad/ -create-recipe

Warmer weather, bigger variety in fresh produce, warm evenings for a sunset walk. What are you most excited for this Spring?

Tracking progress is a key part of behavior change. Here is a snapshot of 2 goals I worked on in April.

1) We had a walking challenge with work so I aimed for 10,000 steps daily, but made it a daily goal even AFTER the challenge was over mid month. Realized this is so much easier to do now that the weather is nicer!

2) Yes, as a dietitian I aim to eat healthy and prioritize getting in fruits and vegetables daily. But I wanted to see am I actually getting in the 5 servings per day that is recommended? Overall, I think I did pretty good! But remember, behavior change isn’t about perfection. Some days I fell short and one day I got in zero servings!

What goals can you set for yourself this month? You have 31 days to make progress! Let’s do this!
