POSITIVE BODY IMAGE is hard. We all have heard we

POSITIVE BODY IMAGE is hard. We all have heard we *should* love our bodies, but how many more times have we heard/seen/internalized messages to the contrary?

As a personal trainer, I saw it all over the gym. People there (especially but not exclusively women) to “fix” “lose” or change. Don’t get me wrong, I am all about self-improvement, I think growth is critical to happiness. I also love being strong. But, was it really out of self love to lose “10 more pounds” or a societal expectation pressuring us? Mine usually wasn’t.

As I’ve stepped away from working at the gym, I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about why we want our bodies to look a certain way and how healthy various expectations are. I don’t work out 9+ hours a week anymore. I don’t change the way I eat as a punishment. I don’t have a magic how-did-I-even-pick-it weight number I will spend the rest of my life chasing. I don’t weigh myself twice a day or even once a month. I also weigh a little more now. AND I’M STILL HAPPY.

I LOVED these three questions that @sarahgrentfro shared while ago. They really struck me how differently our image of our bodies would be if we used THESE as our measuring stick instead of Vogue or even the person next to us at the gym.

Have there been times in my life when the answer to these questions was no and I did need to eat more veggies, less junk, and move more? Of course. But *most* of the time, I am healthy and beautiful and I need to STOP with the self-criticizing.

I challenge you the next time you are poking at yourself in the mirror to consider these questions. Anyone else struck by these?

Family Cookie Bake-off going down today! 🍪 Stil

Family Cookie Bake-off going down today! 🍪 Still spending a lot of time at home lately as pandemic numbers are going back up in our area. That means we’ve had to get creative after 16 weeks mostly at home 🤪.
.
We teamed up in groups of two (Dad was on his own) and everyone researched their own recipe. We had so much fun (more in stories!) and I think a new cookie recipe or two might be coming at you later this week!
.
Trying to make the best of this weird summer. Our school district votes on Tuesday to decide what school will look like (we start in 5 1/2 weeks).
.
What are things like in your area? Are things still closed or virus numbers going up? Is your school opening like normal or with modifications?

PALEO PATRIOTIC WAFFLES – July 4th will look dif

PALEO PATRIOTIC WAFFLES – July 4th will look different this year. But, this is one tradition my boys love and we will be doing this year. I make a double batch of my Paleo Waffles (linked), we top them with coconut whipped cream, and then decorate with berries to make a flag.

No big gatherings, trip, or fireworks show for us this year. We will quietly celebrate in our backyard with the grill and some of our favorite foods, plus some fireworks we bought from our local stand.

It’s a little thing, but traditions ground us and, IMO, make life a little more magical.

What July 4th traditions will you still be doing this year?

EASY ALL-FRUIT FROZEN SLUSHIES – Paleo, Whole30*

EASY ALL-FRUIT FROZEN SLUSHIES – Paleo, Whole30*, gluten-free, dairy-free. Summer Slushies from 7-11, Taco Bell, and Sonic used to be on our summer bucket list every year. There is just something so refreshing about these icy drinks on a hot summer day! But, they are sadly loaded with refined sugar or high fructose corn syrup and artificial colors...yikes!

So, I was determined this summer to figure out an alternative. I was shocked by how easy it was! This almost doesn't even feel like a recipe, but aren't those the best kind?! And seriously, every parent needs to know about this one.

I included several variations, based on what you have on hand. I hope you have fun playing around with the possibilities of this one and let me know what combos were your faves!

Bookmark to make this healthy slushie soon!

*NOTE IF YOU ARE ON A WHOLE30: Yes, these are Whole30 compliant. However, it’s not ideal to drink large amounts of fruit juice or fruit based smoothies on Whole30, as it’s all the sweetness of the fruit without all the fiber or volume. It could make a fun drink for a party or fun family night but I wouldn’t recommend it on the daily and use some personal responsibility as to if this has a healthy place in your Whole30.
