Week Four: Meal Plans

Unfortunately week three wasn't the greatest. There was a death in the family and as an emotional eater that had the ability to completely throw me off. For the most part I stayed within the guidelines. A couple times in week three I could be found having some salted nuts/seeds or crackers but that's the worst it got!

Everything is prepared to have a rocking week four!

Breakfasts: 
 M-F: Smoothies (1/2C Blueberries, 1/2 Banana, 1C Almond Milk, 1C Spinach, 1TBSP Ground Flax  Seeds & Chia Seeds)
 Saturday: Fruit Smoothie (1C Frozen Fruit, 1 Banana, 1C Almond Milk, 1TBSP Ground Flax  Seeds & Chia Seeds)
 Sunday: TBD (We'll be at my in-laws for the night Saturday celebrating Thanksgiving!)

Lunches: 
 Monday: Leftover Chick Pea Salad
 Tuesday-Friday: Crock Pot Mushroom Chilli (Page 176 Eat to Live Cookbook) with 2  servings of fruit 
 Saturday & Sunday: 1oz Raw Almonds & 2 Servings of Fruit

Suppers:
 Monday-Thursday: Large Tossed Salad or Veggie Stir Fry (Same ingredients as salad make in broth) Two servings of fruit for dessert. 
 Friday: Vegetable Pizza with Dairy Free Cheese & Sugar Free Sauce
 Saturday: Thanksgiving Dinner!
 Sunday: Thanksgiving Dinner!

I'll post a Thanksgiving Dessert suggestion or two throughout the week!

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 something

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! Since it was a snowy morning we decided to clean out our cupboards, stock our fridge & pantry with Eat to Live essentials, and buckle down! 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! Week One Tuesday: Breakfast-Smoothie Lunch- Nutritarian Tofu Scrambled Eggs with Pear & Pineapple Slices Supper-1/2C Rice with 1C Black Beans, Pepper, Onion, Mushroom, Broccoli, Snap Peas & Carrots Wednesday: Breakfast-Smoothie  Lunch-Nutrit
