My Favs

The picture above is 3 of my new favorite items.

• Woeber's Supreme Wasabi mustard- the perfect kick to a meal without a bunch of additivies in the ingredients
• Roasted Walnut Oil- great to use to make Paleo mayo, drizzle on a salad or Kale chips
• SFH Omega 3 fish oil- I have tried the tangerine and chocolate flavor. The chocolate is by far my favorite. I love this supplement! It lasts an entire month and only 2tsp are needed for the recommended amount of EPA/DHA

Road Map

Have you heard of Whole9? If not, check out their website. It is full of all kinds of information regarding nutrition. I came across Whole9's Guide to Nutritional Off-Roading yesterday; I prefer to call it a Road Map to being your best self. The flow chart is exactly how I coach my clients. I am a big advocate on balance and making lifestyle changes that one can incorporate forever.

VIEW THE ROAD MAP

Currently, I am working with a client and her statement to me was the following, "I want you to ask me, 'Is this something that makes me my best self?'" For example, you are on a dinner date with your significant other, and the meal you have is not 100% on point nutritionally, but the dinner signifies a new beginning in your relationship, time together, breaking through painful barriers... If that is the case, then enjoy yourself. Similar to the 80/20 rule.

I write this blog not as a means to justify poor food choices, but as a big picture to understand why you do what you do. Are you being your best self?

Brussels for Breakfast

Who says you can't have brussel sprouts for breakfast? Not this girl. I threw a piece of bacon in the skillet, let it cook for a sec, then threw on 3 eggs. In another pan I sauteed brussel sprouts, bacon, and garlic. Topped the eggs with the veggie mix and BAM--- yummy breakfast.
