R1 Day 3

Today way intense. I have zero energy for texts or messages or emails. I have about 109 of each after being off the grid teaching for 12 hours lol I will get back to everyone at some point. I am super proud of myself to not only take on this new teaching challenge but to have had such an insane week and start an intense healthy lifestyle plan!! Even though it meant getting up earlier to prep, I did it. Down 4.1lbs so far since Tuesday. That’s awesome! Entered the next phase and it’s more strict and I’m not usually a fan of that tbh but this is so amazing bc I can feel my body responding to it! Anytime I’ve tried fasting or lower calories or foods removed, I can never stick to it tbh. Jenny craig worked for me bc I ate cupcakes every day haha but was that actually healthy?!? I feel wonderful. Not hungry, and not obsessing over food. Truly enjoying whole Foods but also not having to calorie count. I’ve been drinking the most water of my life wo having to pee bc I’m actually hydrating my body and cells. Dinner tonight was so delish. Not my pic but that’s what I had. Turkey meatloaf and cauliflower mash. Kinda was more cauli rice but whatever lol Will post recipe. So grateful for Restoration Wellness/ Dr. Matthew Boheen and being able to actually pursue a wellness in a healthy way.

Product Review

Keith and I made a pact awhile ago to try new things. Every week we attempt to try one new thing we have previously never had, or been scared to try or whatever. And it's been awesome, we've been enjoying so many things that we've been missing out on, and Mairi of course loves anything LOL so she benefits from it as well. A few weeks ago while grocery shopping, I spotted this jar of Tikka Masala. I was like, hmm, that looks good and healthy and nice to have for the times I don't want to cook or whatever. I grabbed it, bought and promptly threw it in the back of my cupboard. Keith busted it out tonight, and made a FABULOUS chicken and quinoa dish (we are obsessed with quinoa, did you know it's like BREASTMILK? and you all know how i feel about that :P It's a complete protein with an essential amino acid balance close to breastmilk!) and wow. Now I want to make it, and so shortly I'll be trying out a recipe for it, but in the meantime, if you come across this...

Here we go again...

Trying something new. Hijacked my recipe blog to post my thoughts about round 5829 of weight loss. I feel like I wanted a new space, and I love LJ, and might cross-post or whatever, but I want to blog daily about my journey just in this.  This is different this time, and yet it's the same old same old, at the same time. What? But it is. And it isn't. And I am frustrated, and annoyed, but finally to the point of moving forward, which is always good.  Here's the thing. I gained a little over 50lbs with my pregnancy with Lachlan.  Before that, I had gained about 20lbs, trying to figure out what I wanted to weigh, where I liked what I looked like, and basically just get my head not so effed up when it comes to food addiction.  So really, ultimately, by the end of my pregnancy with Lachlan, in March 2012, I was up about 70lbs from my absolutely lowest ever of 145lbs.  I had so many feelings surrounding all of this, and right after I had Lac...

Another Job!!!

I decided recently that while I adore teaching and training hooping, the passion for me lies in HOOPING, not in being a FITNESS instructor, kwim? So I have been reevaluating what that means for me/our business etc. I decided I wanted to focus more on the nutrition component for the morbidly obese/those just changing their lifestyles to prioritize healthy eating for the long term. I have many things already in place, as this has been on my heart since I changed my lifestyle-I am in my junior year of completing my degree in Exercise Science with a specialty in nutrition. I am SafeServ certified. I am a certified Nutrition and Wellness Consultant. So on and so forth. Once I decided this (literally last week, I finally just accepted this was on my heart, even though it feels scary, this "unknown"-I know how to be a fitness instructor after almost 4 years!!). It also feels scary because it means I will only teach hoop classes and not contribute towards our business with any of ...
