We’re off to celebrate 5 years of marriage this weekend + our first baby on the way. Yep! That’s right, baby Sparks is coming March 2019! 😊👶🏻 Stay tuned for posts about how I navigated my rough first trimester with the self-compassionate framework of intuitive eating. Pregnancy has made me even more grateful for having found tools for body acceptance + a healthy relationship with food/movement. We’ll being doing a Tour De Ozarks, making a loop across Missouri and down into Arkansas. 🏕🌳Looking forward to exploring plus taking a little break from work! #vacay #babymoon #theozarks
Helllloooooo, Instagram fam! 👋 Yes, I'm still here! 😬😅 I've been busy on-boarding several new clients in my private practice, working part-time at a rural hospital, and juggling some health-related things in the mix. So, needless to say, social media posting and content development has taken a back seat these days. I'm not going to lie, I've been 110% okay with it.💁 Sometimes disconnecting and embracing reality is just what your soul needs, ya feel? I'm happy to say I've entered a season of life where I can come up for some air and carve out time again for my online presence. One of my favorite parts of social media is for the connecting, learning, and growing with you all -- it's what keeps me coming back! 💞 . To kick things off, I've got a new blog post up (#sponsored #linkinbio) featuring five 5⃣ of my favorite tips for making meal planning less stressful. Because when you already have enough going on in life, why add meal planning stress into the mix? In this post, I also address how meal planning + intuitive eating go together, as well as how convenient, ready-made options like @luvofoods can be a lifesaver for days you still want to feel and perform your best, but don't have the time to spend hours in the kitchen meal prepping.🙌 Pictured is one of my new faves from Luvo: their steam in pouch, Orange Mango Chicken. Yum! 😋 . Now share with me, what's new with you? What are you looking forward to this fall season?
Grateful for the fact that it's 62°F this morning 🍃🍁, the Chief's are playing today 🏈, and I had all the ingredients on hand to whip up just what I was craving: a comforting bowl of cinnamon maple oats + tea with honey and lemon 🍵🍋 (to soothe my sneezey, stuffy nosed self). 😪 Happy Sunday, friends. ❤ What are you grateful for today?
Shout out to Jamie at @yourhappyhealthyrd for another awesome graphic. 🙌This one was so good, I had to reshare! #nuancematters #healthyeating . . "Healthy eating is not a simple black and white, one-size-fits-all, rigid, rule-based meal plan. Healthy eating means normal eating, flexibility, thinking about whole body health, enjoyment, satisfaction, regard for nutrition, disregard for nutrition, listening to our bodies, and self-care. It ain’t what people tell ya folks!"
Veggies on your pizza, yay or nay? 👍👎 . At my house, we are creatures of habit and have some meals that are on constant rotation, one of which is pizza. 🍕 I love the versatility of pizza. It's also nice that "the gang is all there" (carb + protein + fat) and is chilling so deliciously together. You can even squeeze in some fiber if you are feeling like giving your gut health some extra love 💁💩 ❤ (i.e. by using a whole grain crust, have salad on the side, or top pizza with veggies). . Today for lunch I tried this new frozen pizza from @sweetearthfoods, recommended by my sweet sis-in-law. 10/10 would eat again! 😋🙌 The unique veggie combination they had going on was a lovely dance of texture and flavor. Full disclosure: I added some extra shredded parmesean cheese on top because it didn't look cheesy enough for my liking. 🧀 It did the trick! 👌
Feeling real schmancy this morning with my smoked salmon + cream cheese + @alvaradostreetbakery bagel. 💁 . . I remember the days "regular" bagels were a forbidden food to purchase and I would buy "bagel thins" instead (which were basically bagel crackers once toasted; very unsatisfying). No disrespect to y'all out there who truly like thin bagels. They were just not my jam. 😝 I only bought them because I used to be entrenched in body dissatisfaction, fatphobia, and arbitrary rules around food, especially carbs. . . Carbs are an important fuel source to our bodies and make up a ton of nutrient dense foods (i.e. fruits, veggies, beans, grains, milk, yogurt). Not to mention, they are oh so satisfying! As long as diet culture and the #keto craze keeps on, I'll keep fighting back with the evidence based truth that carbs do not have to be wiped out from your diet for health, or for micromanaging your weight.
