Do you ever feel like you need to power up your day? week? month?
Well, today I do! It was a busy weekend.
Every morning I start by powering up my day by pumping my body full or 45+ plants. Why you ask? Because they are full of antioxidants and tons of micronutrients that my body needs to do it's amazing job.
I've found that since I started this morning ritual my energy level is better, I sleep 🛌 better and I'm not as sore and tired after hours of yard work 👨🌾 and DIY⚒️.

Overnight oats is a quick and easy way to prep breakfast. Often I make them in handy 250ml mason jars, making them easy to transport and the perfect serving size.
My usual recipe is fairly plain with oats, plant milk and a little flavouring topped with some berries or fruit.
Tonight I decided to try a slightly different spin on my usual. This recipe has grated apple and chia seeds and I made a big batch. Tomorrow morning I'll just scoop out my serving into a bowl and top with some berries, plant milk and what ever tickles my taste buds.

If you've ever considered trying plant-based eating this article includes some interesting discussion. I'd agree with her sentiments about overall health and well-being.
This has been my focus for the past 5 months and I'm enjoying the challenge of finding delicious recipes to cook. I'm using more spices than I ever did before. I've tried things like coconut rice to vegan shepherd's pie. There are very few things in my old eating habits that I miss.
I've been able to find a plant based omega that I love and a super simple way to up my micro and macro nutrients to supplement my regular meals.

We are all being challenged to find alternate ways to stay active. I'm missing my regular routine but decided this morning I needed to suck it up and try something different. So I decided to try an online workout from www.healthylivingrevolution.com
There were 3 versions of difficulty. I'm going to make it a routine to do one of these every day. If you want to join me let me know.

Now more than ever it's important to consider how we can strengthen our immune systems. I saw this shared from another group this morning and wanted to pass it on....
🍎🥕🍌🥦🍆
It’s simple, eat more Fruits and Vegetables to improve your Immune System.
The World Health Organization recommends for fruit and vegetable intake is at least 400 grams per day, or five servings of 80 grams.
One 80-gram serving is equivalent to a small piece about the size of a tennis ball. For fruits and vegetables that can be measured by the cup, a serving is roughly 1 cup.
~Are you eating 400g consistently?
~Are you eating a variety of 400g of fruits and veggies?
~Are you eating fruits & veggies that are chemical free?
Increasing fruit and vegetable consumption to reduce the risk of noncommunicable diseases Fruits and vegetables are important components of a healthy diet. Reduced fruit and vegetable consumption is linked to poor health and increased risk of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs). An estimated 3.9 million deaths worldwide were attributable to inadequate fruit and vegetable consumption in 2017.

If you think about something that is Good do you also think that it could be Better? Or do you settle for Good and stop seeking the Best?

It really does and it really is.
I'm listening to Gabriel Bernstein's book The Judgement Detox and she encourages us to see the light in others.
The world needs more of that!
This makes me happy. The kids are so good and are so present in the singing of the song. And the reaction of Andy once they're finished is very special.
Music has always been a part of my life. From playing the piano, singing in the church choir, dancing with my parents and grandparents as a kid, learning to dance as an adult, teaching dance and just filling the house with tunes as I go about my day.
Do you have a song/album that brings you back to a specific moment in your life? I do.
That's sort of what music is all about for me...Moments!

Again? Sheesh.
There's no e-coli on my tower garden greens. Super grateful for that. Not only can I ensure that I'm not consuming recalled greens but I have fresh, tender, delicious greens at my fingertips at any moment.
Oh, and no more green science experiments in my crisper!

Our Story
In 2017 I embarked on what I have labelled “My Healthy Living Adventure”. After several years of living a lifestyle of indulgence and lack of desire to stay on a healthy path, I realized that I was putting my health at risk. I was concerned that I was making myself susceptible to a chronic illness. Something I did not wish to experience. I’d watched a loved one struggle with his health for many years and living in pain, taking daily medications and always seeking the next thing that might be a ‘cure’ was not what I wanted for my future.
In May 2017 I make a lifestyle change. A change that includes more plants, higher quality nutrition and a focus on fuelling my body for health. I didn’t realize the impact that these changes would have and now it’s become a lifestyle.
Am I 100% perfect? Heck no. But I do strive for an 80/20 balance in diet and lifestyle. I enjoy wine, cocktails and treats just like everyone else, but I understand that for my health, that can not be a daily occurrence. I enjoy being active but I also enjoy sitting on the couch binge watching my favourite shows.
My goal with this page is to share my journey and hopefully inspire others to move towards a healthier lifestyle, one baby step at a time. Maybe it’s a recipe, maybe it’s a mantra, maybe it’s a workout. What ever it is, congratulations on taking that step! And welcome to the ‘journey’!
