I'm a wifey, a dog mom and a certified holistic wellness coach, and I am happiest when I'm reading, at the beach, traveling or relaxing with my hubby and four legged child. I have always aimed to live a healthy life but after a routine test found a mass in my marathon running hubby last year it majorly put things into perspective for me. So I decided to start creating healthier meals that were bas
ed more around plants. This helped me feel like I was doing something proactive for his health but also for mine, instead of just sitting around hoping for better health in the future without actually doing anything different. It turns out that trying to figure out what to eat, how to put a meal together, much less how to put a whole week of meals together, was all highly stressful and overwhelming. I would end up resorting to my old "go to meals" that were no longer in alignment with my new healthy lifestyle. And when I did cook I felt like I was spending way too much time in the kitchen (and that's not my thing). I also felt like I was spending a lot of money and wasting a lot of food which I hated. And on top of that I felt hungry most of the time and honestly I was just tired, it kinda felt like a full time job. The fact that I wasn't exactly a goddess in the kitchen to begin with didn't help matters. I just wanted to put a coherent plant forward meal together that I actually wanted to eat, but it wasn't so easy. The quote "old habits die hard" really hit home here. I knew what I was trying to do, and I knew why I was trying to do it, but man, I just wished it was easier. But then gradually things changed for me between May 2021 and now. Over the next 9 months I went from feeling super clueless and overwhelmed to feeling confident and more amazing than ever on my journey to eating more plants for better health. I am now able to spend less time in the kitchen and have a plan of action so I am never left scrambling for a miracle meal at the last minute. I have go- to meals for when I'm feeling lazy, I learned how to easily throw together plant forward meals I enjoy, I know exactly how to stock my kitchen, and I have quickie staples I can mix and match. I also now know how to put a week of meals together without scrolling through the internet till the end of time. It feels soooo nice! During this time my energy levels have dramatically increased, I started getting out and moving my body consistently and looking forward to it. I lost weight I thought was there to stay forever, my anxiety level went to an all-time low, and I just feel super healthy. Talk about major motivation to keep doing what I'm doing! I would have never ever guessed that eating more plants could have this kind of noticeable effect on a person. What I had actually needed all along was to be healthy on the inside and allow it to work its magic and radiate out to affect everything else in my life, including how I looked and felt, and that's exactly what happened. And the best part was that as I started to FEEL the benefits of my new lifestyle, I just felt energized to see what else I could do so I never felt like I was missing out or depriving myself, instead I felt like I was waking myself back up to how I could feel in my own body. I feel like I have gained so many things that I didn't expect by focusing on getting healthier, eating healthier and taking care of myself instead of focusing on losing weight or only working out without changing my eating habits. The way I feel every day now is what motivates me to keep doing what I'm doing. And more importantly, it motivates me to want to help other females create a healthier more plant forward lifestyle for themselves so they could also get healthy and feel amazing without going through all the drama and frustrations like I did.
