Happy last day! Don’t forget to submit your final weigh ins!! I know there were so many of your who rocked this challenge and for those of you who struggled or missed it by a hair “it doesn’t matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop”. This is only the beginning!

This is your weekly reminder to remind yourself that it’s okay not to be perfect. Not with diet. Not with mom’ing. Not with anything.
There will be days where everything goes perfectly right and you soar and there will be days where you don’t leave your bed.
That means you’re perfectly human. Just keep showing up, keep talking, keep breathing, keep reaching out, you can totally do this.
4 days left, almost there!

Simple plant based lunch. Smoothie with coconut water, strawberries, blueberries, spinach, and fresh mint leaves. Salad with spring mix, sugar snap peas, carrots, cherry tomatoes, feta, sunflower seeds, sea salt, black pepper, extra virgin olive oil, and apple cider vinegar. .

If I know I’m going to eat something heavy, like pasta or tortillas for dinner, I try to keep lunch light and I have a snack between lunch and dinner. This isn’t a hard and fast rule, it’s just part of my intuitive eating, a way to make sure I’m well balanced. .

To keep our grocery bill down, most days, we only consume meat during one meal. We do a lot of meatless salads, rice, quinoa, and legume based soups. Plant food is some of the cheapest stuff in the grocery store! Meat, dairy, and processed food will make your bill climb up quickly. If your family is on a budget, like mine, think twice before ascribing to any diet or program that has you eliminating plant food. .

Some people thrive on a more carnivore style diet, some thrive when plant based, neither way is right or wrong. That’s why trying new things and paying attention to your body is so valuable! We are all so different, it only makes sense that the foods that make us feel our best would be different too!
