What's Next?


After a whirlwind trip back to Barry's Bay last weekend I started a new job on Monday! All of the change in the month of October has been incredibly exciting, but also tiring. I'm ready to settle into a new routine. Three things I would like to improve on in November is exercise, tea consumption, and weekend eating.

While in Ontario I had little to no control over the food that I consumed, the end results on the scale weren't too bad. I was only up one pound. The results on my body were another story. In any situation that I had control over I attempted to chose food options that I felt would be the best for my body. All meals were covered on Saturday, there were little to no options that fit within the guidelines. This resulted in me ending up back at the hotel both Friday and Saturday night with stomach issues, I think because it wasn't all whole natural food. I landed back home Sunday night with a face full of pimples!

The experience in Ontario, and blood work results show me that eating according to Eat to Live is really the way my body wants to be fed. I need to take all measures to ensure that my body receives the food it wants to be the best it can be. I have worked on a meal plan for next week to get my 100% back on track, my troubles are weekend eating. I will touch base more on that later!

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

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!

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
