Striving For A Healthy Lifestyle

Cuz I know some of y’all might be curious.....Here I am 12 days after baby I’m definitely making more conscious choices, cutting down on the bagels and ice cream following some Best Body Mommy Principles (and on a budget as I am taking some time off) My body is still healing, it still feels like I have been in a car accident (I delivered vaginally with tearing), and I just started small 20 mins walks with Simba yesterday... Step by step. The fresh air yesterday was AMAZING I was at 198lbs 12 days ago with a big baby girl in my tummy. I’m not getting on a scale yet, and my goal is to fit comfortably into my clothes and my winter gear by February I am going to be documenting my progress for 3 months, but with flexibility and kindness. I will be including some cheat days, and my workout progress I miss working out. I miss how good it feels to feel my heart pounding, to move, to lift again, to even walk for an hour outside I’m so excited to get back into slowly Stay tuned babes @bestbodymomma #12dayspostpartum #postpartumbody #postpartumfitness #postpartumjourney #postpartumbelly #forthtrimester #fitnessjourney #weightloss #bodyafterbaby #bodysfterbabies

THIS Mocktail... It’s a new life when you have stressful day and realize that now you can’t have wine, alcohol, Advil, more than one cup of coffee, you can’t use most essential oils or take hot baths or crush a mad workout My Dr. Said I could have the occasional glass of wine but...that’s a risk I won’t take So I needed a back up... This fresh mocktail has been my saviour and of course you can add a little liquor if your not pregnant, but for me, I’m going to keep it fresh and simple 1) crush 2 tbsp fresh ginger and let sit in 1/2 cup boiling water for 10 mins with 1 tbsp honey, maple syrup or stevia. Let it cool for 1 hour 2) chop 1 tbsp fresh mint, two wedges of lime and 2 wedges of lemon. Set aside 3) salt or sweeten the rim of your fav glass 4) Add to your cooled ginger tea concoction to the glass with 1 cup soda water, the lemon, the limes and the mint 5) add ice and enjoy #mocktail #pregnantlife #pregnancymocktail #healthypregnancyeating #healthypregnancy #freshdrinkideas #cleanbeverage #freshsummerdrinks

Pregnancy and Isolation Snacks has given me an extra 12 lbs, and you know what I feel sexier than ever I am still exercising (at a much lower intensity) and I am still consciously eating healthy foods - BUT - this is a beautiful time where the body needs to eat a little more (creating a human is a lot of work!!!) and you allow yourself some treats without fear of getting more ‘curvy’... It’s empowering It’s beautiful I used to FEAR pregnancy because of what it could do to my fitness business and body, however - thanks to so many incredible women out there who are fit, healthy and curvy....I feel super proud, beautiful and motivated It really is all in our perspective, it is all in how we view ourselves outside of social norms and society standards You are sexy You are beautiful Go rock it #selfconfidence #selflove #embraceyourbody #secondtrimester #3monthspregnant #pregnancyjourney #healthypregnancytips #healthypregnancyjourney #bossbabe #thickandfit #thickandfitismygoal #fitbody #workoutmotivation #bodypositivity #bodylovebabes #personaltrainer #onlinefitnesscoach

Is Calorie Counting Good For Losing Weight? Ohhhh touchy topic Babes, I hear youuuuu... First. Let me ask you a question If your credit card is maxed out, and your spending habits are out of control, and you can’t seem to save money, do you think that tracking everything you buy, everyday for 7-14 will give you ideas and insights into how you can save money? The answer is, yes! Ok, next question If your eating habits are out of control, and you can’t seem to get a grasp on eating healthy vs. eating to lose weight, do you think that having a look into your daily calories could give you insights and teach you about where you may be spending too many calories each day and help you lose weight? The answer is....yes So is it a toxic practice to track your calories? Here is another honest question I got If you eat enough calories to lose weight, but eat only processed foods and junk, can you still lose weight? The answer is yes, yes & yes BUT It is not as simple as that There are many different factors to consider and I can only type so much in Instagram 1. Ya Need a good food tracker and food scale 2. You need to know your BMR, your daily activity level, and take that into careful consideration 3. You need to create a calorie deficit - whether it’s through exercise or tweaking your nutrition 4. And if you want your calorie counting to be healthy and successful, you need to be eating 80% healthy whole foods with fruits and veggies It sounds simple but it is very complex. That’s why this most recent podcast is bout THAT. So grab a journal, and a cuppa coffee and let’s get to it. I have answered all of your questionsionsin my latest podcast episode. We go over all these different considerations, the pros and cons of counting calories, how it can help you, and how it may harm you if not done right and with self-love search Striving For A Healthy Lifestyle - on your favourite podcast platform https://podcasts.apple.com//striving-for-a-he/id1444669796 listen, like, share and subscribe And if you loved it, share this podcast on Instagram and don’t forget to tag me #countingcalories #weightloss #loseweightfast #caloriecounting #caloriesincalori

The OMG I’m sooo full, I can’t move experience I have been there, more than once NOW HOLD ON There could be some other factors as well... Did your daily meals include enough nutrients that the body needs? like fibre, portion, water, fruits and veggies Are you chewing your food properly? 30 chews is recommended, more chews for foods like nuts and seeds Is your meal including a healthy fat source and some protein? carb dominate meals tend to feed our bad bacteria and leave us feeling empty Fuel your body like a Master involves loving, mindful eating practices Got questions?

This was a conversation I had with a dear client of mine last week Not to sound like a bitch but If I followed ‘what I feel like’ and making choices only based on that, I would lie in bed and eat cheese all day, everyday... Yes, you SHOULD listen to your body. There are times when it needs to rest, eat chocolate and be ‘unproductive’ That is one of my biggest lessons I have learned from this isolation and time off work. I need more down time and to stop striving and watch some reality TV, read or play video games. For real. However, we need to go deeper. Yes. There will be times when you just don’t feel like it. A lot of the time Currently You may feel lazy You may feel down You may not want to get outside Sitting down is easy, but getting back up.....I can’t But more importantly, if you feel down in the moment, if you feel stuck, negative, depressed, bored, tired - this is when you need to force yourself into movement This is when you #justdoit And this 60%-80% of the time for most people Here is the kicker. The question how do you feel after? 99% Report that they feel better It becomes a practice similar to jumping into cold water. You don’t want to do it, but you know that after you feel so incredibly energized. Same as exercising Don’t wait I could be wrong but, I feel like we think that, in order to workout and live healthful lives, we need have already have ‘succeeded’ or already attained some sort of perfect fit body prior to even moving That is like saying I will be happy when....or, I will be healthy when... It starts now. Not ‘then’ It all starts when you feel off, or fat, or lazy, depressed, unmotivated It starts in that place, and acting to move from that place is an act of self love, tough self love You say common girl, get moving and you move. Then after you recognize this shift and appreciate it You do this over and over and over until......it becomes a habit #noexcuses #justmove #justdoit #helpmotivateme #needmotivation #ineedmotivation #workoutmotivation #workoutmotivationquotes #motivationquotes

@ 2pm I crave sweet 10am I crave salty How can I stop this... Well, here’s your answer Give your body what it wants. Give your body what it needs. This little bowl of sea salt nuts combined with bitter dark chocolate, dried fruit, healthy fats and proteins is made to sustain you and nourish your cravings The craving won’t leave you until it’s filled. The question is how can you fulfil it in a holistic way? I got this mix at Costco, which means it was a pretty good deal. Costco is my favourite place for nuts and nut butters at a reasonable price How do you nourish your cravings? #sweetcravings #saltycravings #healthysnack #healthytreat #afternoonsweetcraving

Last night I ate 4 slices of pizza. It just happened. I felt so full and uncomfortable for like 6 hours I wasn’t being mindful I knew it would make me feel sick... It just happens and it’s ok Being mindful is such a continuous practice of life. It’s a beautiful journey and not something that should be expected to be achieved right away or even permanently So be kind to yourself when you are learning to listen to your body Be kind and tune back in #mindfuleating

Question - Could we/you all benefit from a free monthly community Zoom call? We can share about our struggles and WINS with exercise, nutrition, body image etc???

There is no shame in listening to what your body wants and needs On the latest Striving For A Healthy Lifestyle podcast, I go into this a little bit deeper. The truth is, cravings drive us towards certain needs of the body and this is a very healthy part of who we are and how we navigate life We also have rationale, which is there to help guide us through our emotions with reason and clarity... Emotional eating is a friend, not an enemy - and definitely not something to be ashamed of What’s your body telling you? #emotionaleating #listeningtoyourbody

I call this the Period Cookie TMI? Too bad darlin. Shit gets real when your on your period and there is no shame in being a woman Last weeks cycle was brutal, and I decided to make some oat and almond butter based cookies with semi-sweet dark chocolate chips to get me through my cravings. It tastes awesome and worked great... This cookie is sweetened with honey and stevia, it contains 8 ingredients, no preservatives and is 1/8 the sweetness of other store bought cookies The protein and fats keep you balanced while the chocolate and the oats give you all the carb pleasure In my latest podcast, I chat about emotional eating, and part of the solution is to upgrade your craving to something the can give you nutrients as well as pleasure. Search -> striving for a healthy lifestyle <- in your favourite podcast platform. The episode will be there 1 cup oats 1/2 cup almond butter 1 egg 1 tsp baking powder 1 tsp sea salt 1 tsp vanilla extract 1/4 cup honey or stevia equivalent Mix well, then add 1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips Makes 4 big cookies Bake at 350 degrees for 16 mins #chocolatechipoatmealcookies #healthycookie #upgradethereward

100% shredded whole wheat, yogurt, nuts and sliced banana This kind of shredded wheat Is very comfortable and easy for me to digest. I do not have a gluten sensitivity, nor am I intolerant to gluten, however certain things like pasta, or too much concentrations of this food can be irritating and bloating Wheat, very much like soy, is a food that has been mass produced since the early 1900s, so quality is key... As much as we strive to eat unprocessed whole grains, we do need to take into consideration that sometimes these dense grains are difficult to digest and may cause problems in our digestive tract Always listen to your body, it will tell you how it feels and what it needs #listentoyourbody #shreddedwheat #100%shreddedwheat

I just turned 35 I don’t have any kids yet. I got divorced at 27. I live alone. I run my own businesses so I have no health plan, no pension and no unemployment insurance I dread doing my taxes... My dad is always asking me when I am going to go back to nursing and get a real job It sounds depressing doesn’t it? Let’s get a few things straight I am NOT one of those ‘entrepreneurs’ who quit their day job and now lives in a fucking high rise condo, driving a Mercedes, taking selfies all day I am the real deal. My health and my business has been a 10 year journey And I am proud of it My weight fluctuates just like my business. I was never good a sports and I was bullied for being fat for 7 years. My ups and downs are real and teach me so much about myself and the world All in all, I am so incredibly GRATEFUL My exercise, my nutrition, and my *BALANCE has given me ALL that I need in life. It has given me Confidence, Health, Youth, Energy, Endorphins, Flexibility, Stamina, Strength and Sass I am one hundred times healthier and confident than I was at 22 and I am so grateful for that I made exercise and balanced eating enjoyable. I made it a lifestyle specific to ME and while I see others give up, I keep going because it’s what I love - NOT what I am forced to do Don’t get fooled by social media or what others say or expect from you. Take a break from all that. You have the power today to make your life FEEL GOOD, feel healthy, feel strong and feel sexy now, today I believe it starts as a choice, a choice from self love After you make the choice to choose YOU, then I believe the next steps will reveal themselves one by one Months ago, I crafted a podcast called 5 steps to self love if your wanting to get started. DM me and I will send you the podcast link ASAP I am grateful for you balance = rest, cheat meals, faith, meditation, nature walks, saying no and choosing you #justturned35 #35thbirthday #35andfabulous #healthylifestyle

Oh God. I am now.....that girl The fucking juicer. I always recommend eating the whole fruit instead because of all it’s nutritional benefits, but this is a nice way to enjoy REAL fruit juice with live nutrients, to get a straight hit of vitamins and ....to try something new why not I tried out my new juicer (that I got for free btw, I also got my slow cooker for free - all through the free drop table in my building- what a great way to #reuse things that others don’t want... It was clean. In great condition. I thought why not? One apple One pear One orange A few celery stalks And .....it was so delicious Now that is a lot of fruit sugar to be consuming, so I highly recommend that you share / force your partner to have some / or share it with somebody, and make sure you’re adding vegetables to your juice. But not too much celery or else it gets really salty I’m not a fan of salty juice. Unless it’s a Cesar Have you used a juicer? #juicewrld #juicingrecipes #juicedetox #juicer #healthyideas #healthyfood #nutrition
