Life Is Not Easy

News Flash – Life is not easy.

I don’t care who you are, how much money you have, or where you live. I’m feeling a little bit strongly about this today. I was browsing The Gram this morning and came across

Just the Right Time

As I said previously, yoga is great for building my core, flexibility, and strengthening my muscles. Maybe more importantly it has come at just the right time to quiet my mind and gain focus.

The end of the staircase! . . . Day 21 🎉 . . . Twenty One days of January and New Year goals are off to a great start! By now, whatever you are working on is becoming a habit. . . . I've been moving everyday, . . . Working through my classes, . . . Eating nutritious food, . . . Staying connected to my people, . . . Writing my book proposal and blog (link in the bio 😉) . . . Why stop now? . . . #keepmovingforward #climb #day21 #transformation #imagine #trust #trusttheprocess #21daysofjanuary #goals #goals❤️ #motivation #healthyhabits #healthymama #healthy #workforit #stairs #friendshipgarden #idaho #greatstart #opentogrowth #grow #growthmindset #growth #growing

Into the crockpot! I've said it before, but it's worth repeating. Isn't it great to cook once and eat twice? 😀 I love saving time later in the week with leftovers. People sometimes worry about where they will get their protein on a plant-based diet. But the real question is where does fiber come from on the standard American diet? Whole food plant-based nutrition provides more fiber (animal meat has none), less fat, no cholesterol, plenty of protein, more beta-carotene, more folate, more vitamin C, more vitamin E, more iron, more magnesium, and more calcium than animal based foods. Cook it once, fuel your body twice. . . . #stuffedbellpeppers #eatyourveggies #eattherainbow #crockpot #crockpotcooking #cookingmama #cookonceeattwice #wholefoodnutrition #rice #peppers #meatlessmonday #meatlessmeals

- Oscar Wilde . . . Day 20 . . . Not everyone is going to get you. Be yourself anyways 😊

Super fancy :D !!! . . Today's delight is original Cheerios layered with Oat Yeah yogurt alternative and some orange 😋 . . . Usually I just throw it all in a bowl, but I thought it might be more attractive this way 😂 . . . Transitioning to whole food plant-based nutrition doesn't mean giving up breakfast cereals. Substitutes for milk and yogurt are available. . . . Look for unsweetened plant milks and cereals that are minimally sweetened... bran flakes, original cheerios, shredded wheat (without frosting). . . . I love granola too, but it's best kept to minimum depending on the nuts and sugar involved. Usually I add a couple tablespoons to my bran flakes to jazz them up. . . . We don't need dairy for our calcium. Plant-based milks provide calcium too. . . . One cup of 2% milk has 295 mg of calcium. Whereas 1 cup of almond milk has 450mg. . . . (Not to mention there has been a whispered association of bone fractures with milk consumption.) . . . #wfpbnutrition #wfpb #wfpbcertified #transform ##transition #plantmilk #cheerios #unsweetened #whatsforbreakfast #cereal #parfait #orange #nutritiousonadime #dontwaitanotherday

Whole food plant-based nutrition consists of whole, minimally processed plant foods. . . . (Also no meat products - chicken, beef, fish, eggs, dairy.) . . . The research is out there. Whole food plant-based eating has been shown to benefit heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and more. . . . It takes about a month or so to adjust your palate. Be prepared to be patient with yourself and give yourself a little grace as you are transitioning 💕 . . . I used these Oat Yeah cups as a bridge over from the cheese and yogurt. Convenient to grab on the go - also good with a couple spoonfuls of yogurt sprinkled in. . . . #oatyeah #oatmilk #gotmilk #wfpbnutrition #wfpb #transform #plantbased #dontwait

Have you shown up? . . . Showing up for yourself doesn't mean being perfect. . . . Nobody is. . . Day 17 . . . Showing up means you grab your goal and imagine it in your mind. . . . Showing up for you builds your confidence, builds your endurance, builds your resilience. . . . So that you can . . . Keep up with kids. Keep up with work. Keep up with life. . . . Are you struggling to get back to moving more? Back to eating good nutrition? . . . Don't beat yourself up. You're doing great! . . . Do what you can with what you've got where you are at. . . . One day at a time 😊 . . . Do it for you! . . . #eatwell #contribute #contributetrustimagine #imagine #dothedoable #dogood #showup #showupforyourself #socialimpact #ittakesavillage #nutritionstudies #imperfectresolutions #goals❤️ #goodeating #wfpb #wfpbnutrition #thestruggleisreal #doitforyou #21daysofjanuary #keepgoing #keepmovingforward

In Ohio, this is the time of year chili is popular. . . . Recently I have been making bean chili or venison chili because both have less fat than beef or chicken. . . . Yesterday I used chorizo plant-based meat crumbles to give that unami my people expect chili to have. Along with #peppers , onion, #tomatoes , #corn , kidney beans, chili powder, #cumin , & whole grain spaghetti noodles it turned out delicious! . . . Three out of four ate it 😋 . . . Would also work great on a bed of greens for added texture and crunch. . . . #meatless #meatlessmeals #chili #vegetarianchili #vegetarian #eatplantstrong #eatyourveggies #CoachCat #plantbasednutrition #plantbased
