Week Two Meal Plans

Have you ever had a moment where you want to throw in the towel and just eat all the sugar around you? I had that moment on Saturday night. We attended a company party, I was prepared with my own dinner but there was a cheesecake being served for dessert (my favorite!) and it was all I could do to avoid it, but I was glad I did! Week two starts today, and I’m really excited for the upcoming week! We are hosting a dinner party Saturday, and it will mostly be all Eat to Live.
Monday:
Lunch: Eat to Live Mushroom Stroganoff, Pear, Clementine, Banana & Unsweetened Applesauce
           Supper: Veggie Stir Fry with Bean Sprout Base (all veggies in the fridge)
Tuesday:
           Lunch: Mushroom Chilli, Pear, Clementine, Banana, Unsweetened Applesauce
           Supper: Salad & a piece of fruit
Wednesday:
           Lunch: Mushroom Chilli, Kiwi, Banana, Clementine, & Applesauce
           Supper: Salad & a piece of fruit
Thursday:
           Lunch: Mushroom Chilli, Kiwi, Banana, Clementine, & Applesauce
           Supper: Connect Group-So whatever assortment of salad/veggies is available
Friday:
           Lunch: Salad, Kiwi, Banana, Clementine, & Applesauce
           Supper: Veggie Pizza with Dairy Free Cheese, Homemade Sauce, & loads of veggies


I have pretty much been able to stop snacking between meals which is a huge challenge for me. I have been having my one ounce of nuts/seeds around 3:00pm but I’m okay with that!

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...
