Week Four Meal Plans

It’s been a week of learning experiences. Over the course of the last week there have been a number of stressful situations, I tried to not be an emotional eater but I wasn’t successful all the time. I ate two dark chocolate bars, and had one piece of gluten/meat free pizza. As I ate these items I knew that they weren’t within my eating regime, but I still did it anyway. I’m sure that I will see the affects of my choices on the scale and measurements tomorrow. I can honestly say that I learned I need to not have anything but what’s within my eating regime in the house, and I need to be extremely prepared when I go away so I’m not tempted.

Monday:
Lunch: Vegan Black Bean Chilli, Kiwi, Clementine, Banana & Unsweetened Applesauce
           Supper: Huge Salad with one ounce seeds & nuts, Piece of Fruit
Tuesday:
           Lunch: Vegan Black Bean Chilli, Kiwi, Clementine, Banana & Unsweetened Applesauce
           Supper: Huge Salad with one ounce seeds & nuts, Piece of Fruit
Wednesday:
           Lunch: Vegan Black Bean Chilli, Kiwi, Clementine, Banana
           Supper: Huge Salad with one ounce seeds & nuts, Piece of Fruit
Thursday:
           Lunch: Vegan Black Bean Chilli, Kiwi, Clementine, Banana
           Supper: Connect Group-So whatever assortment of salad/veggies is available
Friday:
           Lunch:Salad & Fruit
           Supper: Veggie Pizza with Dairy Free Cheese, Homemade Sauce, & loads of veggies

It’s recommended to eat at least one big salad a day, I hate salad! I want to make the time I have left on the strict regime count though, so we are having a salad everyday this week! That’s huge for me! Here’s to an extremely successful week four!

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...

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Awareness

September is Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) Awareness Month. Even though this disease affects about 10% of Canadian women it is so little known. I want to talk about my journey with PCOS, particularly how it has affected my weight, cravings, and my overall self worth feeling. As a young child when asked what I wanted to be when I grew up I always answered that I wanted to be a mom, even as a teenager I didn’t understand that I might not have that opportunity. The reality sunk in at the age of sixteen as an endocrinologist explained to me that I was one of the 10% of Canadian women that had Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome.   I had never heard of the disease before, but the symptoms all lined up to what I had been experiencing. Over the year or two before the diagnoses I had been experiencing a lot of weight gain, irregular menstrual cycles, and irregular hair growth. All of these symptoms added up to be the initial signs of PCOS. PCOS is a hormonal disorder. It’s someth...

Eat to Live Postpartum

There are seasons for everything in life. Whether it's extra curricular activities we're involved in, projects we have on the go at home, or what's going on in our career. Our eating lifestyle should be a consistent but is often a season that comes and goes. The goal when I first became pregnant was to continue our Eat to Live lifestyle. Unfortunately with pregnancy exhaustion and pain quickly setting in this was the first thing to be dropped. It began taking too much time and effort to not only think of meals but prepare them. We never did pick the pieces back up. The weight gain from pregnancy shows that I let myself fall off the bandwagon. Individuals would say that's okay because breastfeeding helps to burn so many calories. For a variety of reasons E isn't a breastfed baby, although heartbreaking at first I've come to find great peace in this. Robin and I are gearing up to once again begin the Eat to Live Challenge. We will be making adjustments for the...
