The End! The Results!

It's hard to believe that 6 weeks has come to a close! It's amazing how fast time flies. The last 6 weeks have had their ups and downs. They have been filled with both scale, and non scale victories.

Non-Scale Victories:

  1. There were times in the last 6 weeks that I fell off the wagon, but it became so much easier to get back on! I might have eaten out a few times, but I always made sure it was close to guidelines, and my next meal followed the guidelines. Before the Eat to Live Journey I would often fall off the wagon and it would last a couple days.
  2. I can walk out of a store without a dark chocolate bar/bag of chips. I had gotten to a point in my journey that I would convince myself that as long as I had a dark chocolate bar, or the "healthiest" chips I could find that I was okay to buy myself a treat. Every single time I went to the store. I haven't done that once in the last 6 weeks! 
  3. Towards the end of our Magdalene Island trip(right before my 6 week journey) I would only wear my jeans with certain loose shirts. I feel incredibly comfortable in my clothing again! I was able to pull out all my winter clothes last weekend and feel amazing wearing them! 
  4. My mental/emotional health is significantly more stable. I haven't doubted myself, been upset with my body image, or broken down in tears once since starting this journey. That alone is amazing to me! 
Scale Victories:
  1. Even with falling off the wagon a couple times I've managed to lose nine pounds. Which puts me right back to pre-wedding weight. That was my goal of the 6 weeks! 
  2. I've managed to lose three and a half inches. No wonder my clothes feel better! 
I'm taking a break from following the strict Eat to Live plan, but will 100% be incorporating the Eat to Live lifestyle into my daily life. My goal is to follow Eat to Live to a tee during the week and then allow myself some movement on weekends.

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. Hubby doesn't eat beans, so where I'm eating beans he'll be having his usual piece of meat. Don't forget to have your appropriate amount of water, and fruit/veggie servings!

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
