Elevated Grain Free Avocado “Toast”

Uncategorised

5 May

I love me some avocado and toast. But honestly, you need to roll me out of the restaurant after that bread-load. I’m not a bread person. You’ll never hear me say “I would love to eat a baguette right now”. I guess that’s a good thing??? In any case, I wanted to come up with a replacement because I love…

Grain Free Seed Crackers

Uncategorised

5 May

A friend of mine is exploring a keto eating lifestyle. I bought him a bag of grain free crackers and the first thing out of his mouth was “I’ve been looking for a cracker to eat with my cheese!”. I totally get it. You still want to enjoy that brie cheese without the refined carbs that most crackers contain. Away…

This KETO NUT BUTTER COCO-WHIP is aaaaamazing!!! I’ve been enjoying this for breakfast this past week. Yes…breakfast! šŸ„‘I have absolutely no fear of fats and I likely consume 10-20% of my diet with things like olives, avocados, olive oil, hemp hearts, grass-fed meats/salmon, and in this case, coconut cream. Recently, I was sent a package with sunflower seed protein powder…

Sea Salt PMS Chocolate

When I was originally diagnosed w/ low cortisol (aka. burnout, adrenal fatigue), I went to my naturopath b/c I was experiencing irregularities with my cycle. What I’ve since learned is that cortisol, our stress hormone, steals from other hormones to help compensate. This loosely explains why my cycle had changed because my body was utilizing my progesterone to compensate for…

You know when you find yourself in a tough and perhaps difficult situation and you notice yourself holding your breath? It’s very restrictive to say the least. I’ve found myself in more than one occasion with a difficult person (I’m sure that you’ve been there too!). There I am holding my breath to perhaps avoid jumping over the office desk…

Let’s not over complicate this sh*t shall we?!?! Let’s not over complicate this sh*t shall we?!?!

Save this for the days when your protein goal is looking a little… ambitious. šŸ‘€

I was listening to a podcast recently talking abou I was listening to a podcast recently talking about why women in the 40’s and beyond need to stop thinking they need to be smaller. But rather thinking about something strength to carry them through the next phase of life.

Then, almost immediately, I overheard a woman talking about how frustrated she was because the scale wasn’t moving—if anything, it was going up.

And honestly? I get it.

I still catch myself getting wrapped up in the number sometimes.

But what I’ve learned is that when I follow a solid plan, fuel my body properly and consistently strength train, I get stronger. I sleep better. My energy is higher. And, truthfully, I really like the shape of my stronger body.

Maybe the goal isn’t to keep chasing a smaller version of ourselves.

Maybe it’s to build a body that can carry us through the next 40 years feeling strong, energized and confident.

And yes, we can still want to look our best. We just don’t have to make smaller the definition of better.

Who’s coming to this side with me?

• ¼ cup cottage cheese
• ā…“ cup egg whites
• ā…“ cup flour
• 1½ tbsp coconut flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp garlic powder

5 things I wish I knew when I started strength tra 5 things I wish I knew when I started strength training at 40:

1ļøāƒ£ Follow a plan. This is key to see results.
2ļøāƒ£ Progressive overload > randomly lifting heavy.
3ļøāƒ£ Eat after your workout — protein + carbs.
4ļøāƒ£ Recovery is part of the workout. I take 2-3 ā€œactiveā€ rest days. 
5ļøāƒ£ Consistency. If you’re just starting out, start with 2 days & master that!

Your 40s are a pretty great time to start building the strongest version of you.
