Need a swap for cheese… try nutritional yeast.
Is delicious on popcorn too.
Omelettes are the best:)
Especially when you have backyard chickens ;)

It’s time to ramp up the focus on those macros to BEET your goals this week!!!

Fresh from the garden!!

Did you know beets help you lower BP too;)

Lowering your stress can also help you lose pounds.

Prepping to stay on track. Measuring to keep those macros on point.

Prioritizing my sleep- water- and nutrition has been my focus.

Numbers moving down in the scale makes me feel even better.

Thank you Joel and Megan for this push!!!

Celebrating lots of little wins during week 1 and wanted to share. I'm focusing on the small improvements along the journey, and eventually I'll reach my destination. I'd love to hear your wins for the week!

Here's mine in no particular order....
- I identified that the days where I have pancakes for breakfast, fruit doesn't cut it as a snack since I'm hungry again before lunch. Instead, on those days I've added a higher protein mid-morning snack to get me to lunch time.
- I've been dinner and done all week.
- I've continued my usual workout routine of doing something every day (one rest / active recovery day).
- I hit my goal of 10k steps every day except one, with my daily average being 12k.
- My colleague brought in homemade cakes on Tuesday, but not only didn't I have any, I wasn't tempted either.
- Wednesday I had room for it so made a conscious decision to have one of the rocky road. (Mini win: I picked a small piece.) However, as the day went on I recognised the impact on my body with respect to lower energy levels and increased cravings.
- Thursday there were 2 birthdays so lots of cake and cookies but I didn't want any of it, since the Wednesday experience had taken away the desire for processed sugar.
- Normally WFH on a Friday I'd pick at things all day, but not this week...planned meals only.

Goal to add for the coming week:
- Be better at getting to bed on time for enough sleep.

I love eating!!!!

I love meal prepping and my husband will say I make extra some days that we don’t eat just to add to the “prepped” category, and he may not be wrong. Lol.

Worrying about not having something to eat when you get hungry has been my nemesis…. In the past I would sit down with an entire box of cereal, cookie, nuts or dried fruit and consume the mega amount of calories only to not satisfy the purpose.

Not anymore. I plan out at least a day ahead if not more and make multiple servings even though I only cook for myself, my husband and my aging daddy that I’m full time caregiver for.

I use food for fuel and to heal.
I love all the colors too ;)

I grow out of a 96 foot greenhouse also so that helps too. The season keeps me hopping and spring has sprung.

Cheers to a brand new day with an attitude to achieve your goals.

Who’s ready to do the work to stick to the plan….

GRATITUDE FOR THE JOURNEY!

Prepping saves time when I’m busy later and don’t wanna?

I find myself not using excuses if the chopping part is done first thing in the day even if steamed carrots won’t be eaten for 8 hours😉

Also marinading some tempeh for dinner to go with these tomatos and cucs. Pic to come.

With a busy homestead to run the first thing I have to cut is extra exercise but nutrition counts huge so drinking my morning coffee while chopping is my new best friend!

This is the best I’ve done in a long time with protein. Am I the only one that struggles?
