They shall not grow old,
As we who are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them,
Nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun,
And in the morning,
We will r e m e m b e r them.
Thank you for your lives, sacrifices and courage. Thank you for our freedoms. And may we always remember we have them, because of you.

Lets talk about ☆PROTEIN☆ for a minute!
Our diets should consist of three macronutrients. That is, protein, fat, and carbs. (Micronutrients are your vitamins and minerals --hence *micro*)
They are all important and affect the body in different ways. But, for now lets focus on protein! It:
KEEPS YOU FULL...Protein, is the most filling macronutrient. (Keeps you full with less food.) One reason for this is a hormone called *ghrelin*... the hunger hormone. Protein actually reduces levels of this hormone, controlling appetite.
If you need to lose some belly fat, swap out some carbs for some protein. I use My Fitness Pal and it allows you to edit your macro goals.
MUSCLE MASS... your muscles are made of protein. Its really important you keep your protein HIGH if you want to grow or maintain muscle. Keeping protein up will prevent muscle loss during weightloss.
BOOSTING METABOLISM...eating a high protein diet increases metabolism and burns more calories. Also, with more emphasis on protein intake, we typically will consume less calories. BUT ....please consume ENOUGH calories.
Consuming too little is going to wreak havoc on your metabolism and only going to do more harm than good and hold oj to fat longer than it needs to.
Now, all that being said... I'm ready to abandon my kids Halloween bags 😆🤣

This year has been one with a lot of new adventures for me. From starting a Holistic Nutritionist program to homeschooling my kids and everything Covid in-between🤪.
And here I am again at the start of yet another new adventure. And I am so excited for it.
I have always had a passion for helping people and natural health, I've always had the ability to connect with people heart to heart and build connections that always stay with me.
God has been moving in my life in such inspiring ways, and i continue seeing evidence of His workings that astonish me.
I have found something that completely aligns with my beliefs, with me and with my family and I couldn't be more happy to leave you all in the dark and tell you real soon just what it is! 😆😘.

New Lulu's 😍👸🏼
Had to take a progress pic, cus I'm seeing progresssss.
Also, i think its improtant to document yourself. Measurements, photos, not just the scale. Probably barely ever the scale in my opinion. tbh, the scale hardly ever changes for me. 🤔 But those legs do. 😆🤦🏼‍♀️
And always have a goal. When you accomplish it, make a new one. Photos help to see the progress first hand. When you think you haven't come far do a little comparison😁

PUMPKIN SPICE LATTE🎃☕
I havent been great at posting lately. Homeschooling 3 kids is a lot of work. The planning, prepping, preparing, teaching, reading, organizing, fighting, encouraging, biting of the tongue, removing of children from siblings, setting time-out timers, cleaning up, and adventuring fills most of my days.
And with all that being said, it sure does sound EASIER to just BUY the damn pumpkin spice latte. But alas, i did not (this time). I ventured into making my own. And i did, successfully! So yummy! I seared a recipe up on pinterest using real pumpkin, cashew milk, vanilla, pumpkin spice, and coffee!
If you're feeling movitvated and festive, give it a try! (I also made "pumpkin milk" for my kids using pumpkin, vanilla, cane sugar and milk! They loved it!)

• 2 cartons of vegetable broth

• 1/2 yellow onion🧅

• 2 medium carrots julienne🥕

• 2.5 tbsp fish sauce (or tamari sauce if vegan)

• 2.5 tbsp red curry paste

* sub for chicken if you wish

• asian stir fry noodles (i used 4 nests, cooked al dente before adding to soup)

• green onion (for garnish)

• 1 lime

******

*Fry onions, carrots and peppers. Season with salt. Add in bok choy and mushrooms, cook for 2 minutes. Add broth, coconut milk, fish sauce, curry paste and tofu. I sprinkled some red pepper flakes in for an extra "zip". Simmer for an hour. Cook your noodles until al-dente and add those in.

* garnish with extra red pepper
Even my kids loved this soup!! Enjoy! 🤩

⭐VITAMIN D⭐
These vitamin D drops from are my favorite and so easy for my whole family to take!
What are the benefits of vitamin D? Get ready, there's LOTS.
• helps regulate calcium metabolism & normal calcification of the bones.🦴
• helps increase absorption of calcium from the gut
• helps put minerals like calcium and phosphorus into the teeth🦷
• especially important in the growth of children (bones & teeth) 👶
• helps prevent tooth decay and gum problems
• used to aid the healing of fractures, osteoporosis, and other bone problems
• menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes🥵 and depression have been helped by the use of calcium amd vitamin D together.
• Vitamin D additionally promotes mineralization of the collagen matrix in bone
• IMMUNE SUPPORT💪🏻:
- plays an important part in antimicrobial response
- higher vitamin D levels reduce upper respiratory tract infections
- beneficial on protective immunity..
I could keep going but needless to say, i believe vitamin D is beneficial for everyone! 🌞🌞🌞🌞

Brand new vein, what's poppin'? 🎧🎶😜
Jk.
Its not brand new, I just wanted to say that. 😂

Seeing what it does for me. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Have you ever tried greek yogurt on your pancakes? You need to! 👌

is one of my favourite protein supplement lines! Diesel is New Zealand whey -- grass fed, CLEAN protein. A nice 27g! If keto is your jam...They were on that keto game before it was cool with 0g of sugar and 0g of carbohydrates. Sweetened with stevia and NOT sucralose 🚫😬
I just had to get some of their limited edition Pumpkin Spice Latte from !
Smoothies are an excellent way to get a good nutritious meal in and an easy way to add those extra add-ins like greens, superfoods, fiber, chlorophyll, extra aminos, minerals, aloe juice/water, or immune boosting powders.
What kind of add-ins do you go for?
Does peanut butter count? 🥜😆

RASPBERRIES ⭐💜
Fresh raspberries are too tempting not to buy. 😋
Fairly high in vitamin C and especially abundant in the minerals calcium, magnesium, and iron! They also contain many antioxidant and anti-inflammatory phytonutrients.

JUICING⭐
Easy on the digestive system, unique nutritional benefits, cleanses & detoxifies, aids in weightloss. Certain fruit/vegetable juices are more beneficial to specific organs or helpful with certain illnesses.
Giving your insides a bit of a rest is not a bad idea, it's actually extremely healing.
Here's what i juiced for me and my husband this morning: beets, apples, carrots and a little celery.🍎🥕the beets were a bit heavy, and it tasted a lot like Earth 😂. But drank 'er down and got it in me. 😜 I'll try something new this evening!
Have you tried juicing? If so, what's your favourite combo?

P.s. pineapple is a MUST-TRY.🍍

I don't get bored with salads. There's just so many options of what you can throw together. Ive been snacking on salad toppers lately and threw them on this garden salad! I love the sweet pop of cranberries and the nitty crunch of cashews and pumpkin seeds!
Whats your favourite salad combo? I want to know!!

08/24/2020

How amazing is to send me this cute little package, complete with a salad bento box and tongs 😄 Stay tuned for some yummy salad photos coming soon! These salad toppers are 🤤👌

How do you quiet your mind? Where do you find peace?
I've needed a little more quiet time away from my phone lately. A little less thinking, reading, reacting.
We are starting homeschool tomorrow, that's what has been on my mind most lately. Its not a big deal, we are making it our own and going at a comfortable non-stressful pace. The kids are excited. I'm nervous-cited (nervous excited 🤪). But I'm confident and certain they are about to recieve far better than I could hope for otherwise.

Sometimes I just throw things in a bowl with lettuce and call it a salad. 😆 Sometimes I impress myself and it turns out pretty. 😜
