My PCOS Journey

Frustrated, anxious, exhausted, unbalanced, bloated... These were just a few of the things I was feeling after baby #2.

Some of the things I was feeling were not under my control, my daughter didn't start sleeping well until around month #10 and my PCOS symptoms were in full gear again. However I was determined to focus on what I could change, like making healthy choices and being consistent daily with fitness, nutrition, reading my Bible and staying focused on the positive.

With the aid of my accountability group I was able to restart my healthy routine I had obtained before Kloe came along. I would definitely not have gotten as far as I have today with out them!! Since baby #2, I have lost 25 lbs and A LOT of inches! My lower half has shrunk incredibly! I become strong enough to run a half marathon, something I thought I would never do. And I continue to help others make healthy changes daily too!

If you have been feeling like I was after baby #2, message me. I understand and we can discuss a plan of action to get you on your way. Don't suffer in silence and feel like you will never reach your goals. That is simply not true! If I can do it anyone can.

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. It can be a place to discuss the day’s events, enjoy each other’s company, and provide a time for family discussions. Asking open-ended questions such as “How was your day?” rath...

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.
