Week Two Results

I learned a very valuable lesson in week two of my Eat to Live journey. The second week started out on a high note, I was extremely motivated and committed to following this plan completely, but then one day all I could think about was chocolate! I had cramps, I was achy, and all my mind could focus on was chocolate. I ended up having half a dark chocolate (70% cocoa) bar, and it took away that craving. I took away from this experience that moderation does work, having half that chocolate bar took away all my desire for something sweet. It was both high in cocoa, and significantly better than a Reese Pieces bar. I’m thankful for that lesson .
Below are the number results for the last week. I was extremely nervous of the results knowing that I swayed from the guidelines, but I’m still very happy with the results.

Weight Lost: 3lbs
Inches Lost:
Bust: .75
Waist: 1.5
Hips: .5
Thighs: 1.25

In two weeks I have lost a total of 9lbs and 7.25 inches. Here’s to an extremely successful week three!

Healthy 2019!

It's hard to believe that it's been six months already since our bundle of joy came into the world! He's changing each and everyday. It's amazing to watch the different skills developing. The time is just flying by! Prior to getting pregnant I succeeded in loosing a very large amount of weight. It was the first time for as long as I can remember that I was happy in my own body. I felt confident in how I looked, my skin was in the best condition it's ever been, my emotions were the best they have ever been, and the number on the scale was just a bonus! During my pregnancy I gained 60+ pounds, my emotions and skin were a mess. I unfortunately had the mentally that I was pregnant and could do whatever I wanted to. That was wrong, I've been paying the price since giving birth. My struggle with body image in the last six months has been at one of the highest points since I was a teenager. When life gets chaotic or messy we all seek comfort in something, unfortuna

Healthy 2019: Meal Plans Week One

Happy New Year! It's hard to believe that it's already January 1st! Where did the last year go!? Originally we were supposed to be spending today with family but the weather had other ideas!

Over the course of the next four weeks I'll provide what our meal plans look like in hopes of giving you some ideas! I'm big on meal prepping which is what will help me stick to this plan.

Healthy 2019: Week Two Meal Plans

How's everyone making out!? It's hard to believe that Week One is almost over! How are the sugar withdrawals? I haven't found the withdrawals to be too bad. There have definitely been some difficulties but overall I feel great despite fighting my first cold of the season. I apologize about the delay for Week Two meal plans. You can thank my cold for that.  Don't forget to make sure you're having an ounce of unsalted seeds/nuts per day! Because I'm up so early with E, I generally do have a snack around 10am and that's when I have my seeds/nuts. Week Two Sunday: Breakfast-Weekend Smoothie  Add additional frozen fruit & some Avocado Lunch- Leftover No Pasta Lasagna & Clementines Found in the Eat to Live Cookbook Supper-Butternut Squash Noodles, Homemade Spaghetti Sauce, & Fruit Salad Monday: Breakfast-Smoothie Lunch- Chick Pea Spread on whole wheat wrap with Pineapple, Melon, & Unsweetened Apple Sauce Supper-Large Tosse
