Pregnancy!!

Since becoming pregnant a few months ago, it seems my world has been turned up side down. My expectations of myself have had to change, as my energy levels have been all over the place, and the nausea is horrible. I can't seem to get a grip on food at the moment. I will get a craving, eat it and then be very let down to find that I really didn't want what I thought I did. Sigh... For someone who was in a good place with food before the pregnancy, this has been difficult to deal with. Nothing seems to make me feel better. BLAH!!

My last pregnancy was 10 years ago. Although I struggled with energy levels during that pregnancy, it was not quite this bad and I really never was sick in my stomach at all. So this experience is a whole new ball of wax for me.

As a fitness Coach this has made my life a little bit more difficult. As I want to remain a good example of health, fitness and nutrition for the people I work with. I am just starting to get a handle on all the changes that my body is currently going through, so I can be more consistent and realistic with my own expectations of myself.

Since I know my energy levels tend to dip, my fitness schedule is now changing to every other day. I am still going to do the occasional Turbo Fire routine (when I feel up to it), but have opted to be more consistent with my Brazil Butt Lift program for the next few months. BBL will help keep my weak areas sculpted and toned, while helping me to burn fat, without causing me to use all my energy stores and become a slug for several days afterward. LOL!!

With nutrition I have had to change my supplement routine. I love Shakeology, but it is not hitting the mark like it used to. So I only drink it a few times a week and supplement with a pre-natal when I don't drink it. Man I can't wait for these weird food issues to go away!! Lord I hope they don't last the entire pregnancy!

Besides the few problems I am running into, I am loving being pregnant again. Watching the changes that are happening to my body is always really neat! I am so glad that this time around I am in a much healthier place. My last pregnancy I was already packing on the fat, and this time around things are going much better in that area! Yay!!

Building Your Family’s Healthy Eating Habits by Cooking and Eating Together

Including your children in the meal preparation process increases their awareness and appetite for healthy eating. When we as parents communicate interest and enthusiasm for making healthy meals, we are more likely to instill the same attitudes in our kids. The next time you are unsure about the importance of family meals, consider how shopping, cooking, and eating together will reinforce your family’s healthy habits by: Empowering your kids: Teaching your kids how to cook is something that will help them to make their own healthy choices as they grow up.  Cooking will allow your kids to develop their food preferences and understanding of nutrition to apply into their own healthy lifestyles. Improving Communication. Shared meals create an additional avenue of communication for families.

Guilt FREE Desert

Okay, so I'll admit that I have a bit of a sweet tooth. What I like about the 21 Day Fix program is that I can still live like a normal person and have a little desert with out having to stress. So the other night I came up with this yummy recipe: ~1-2 nectarines (depends on the size of the fruit and if your feeding family too) = 1 PURPLE container ~2-3 Shakes of Cinnamon ~Handful of almonds or pecans = 1 BLUE container ~1 YELLOW container full of Organic Oat and Honey Cereal (I actually didn't need to use the entire container) 1.Slice apricots and place on foil. 2. Sprinkle with Cinnamon and wrap up the foil gently. 3. Place in 350° oven for 15-20 min. 4. Roast nuts in a pan for a few min on low-med low heat. 5. Place baked apricots on a plate and top with a little cereal and nuts. You can drizzle a little juice let from the foil over the whole thing to kick up some sweetness, but it s not necessary.
