1 // Rarely, almost never, like I can’t remember the last time, do I go a day without eating a piece of dark chocolate. I have a bag of dark chocolate chips in my freezer at all times. Currently, I have 60 ounces (!) of 60 percent dark chocolate chips chillin’ with organic vodka, kale pesto, and other freezer staples – there was a 2 for 1 sale at World Market!
2 // Bowel movements are a normal topic of conversation. It’s all about healthy digestion, friends.
3 // While I work with my clients on food freedom and creating a loving and trusting relationship with their body, I still encounter personal moments of negative self-talk to overcome and learn from. #iamhuman
4 // Eating a 12 oz. mason jar of peanut butter chia seed granola for an afternoon snack doesn’t phase me. I follow it with a cup of hot detox tea and get on with my day.
5 // I eat cereal for dinner more than I’d like to admit. Power O’s are my jam. #allthecarbs
6 // I have a “Moscow Mule season.” Head on over to Fannetastic Food (read: Simple Tweaks for a Healthier Life) to find my recipe for a healthier Mule.
7 // No screen time 30 minutes before bed? It is ideal in theory, but one I must practice more… but, Instagram.
8 // I have tortilla or rice chips in my cupboard at all times. Sometimes a few forkfuls of raw sauerkraut just don’t satisfy a salt craving.
9 // I have never tried “superfood famous” gogi berries.
10 // Annie’s (rice pasta) macaroni and cheese with peas and diced avocado is my ultimate comfort food.
We need to make some gogi berry smoothies or lattes! And amen to that Instagram struggle :)
Gogi berry lattes!?
I love Annie’s Mac & Cheese! I give you props for adding avocado and peas – at least it’s a little healthier :)
Instagram is the death of me as I’m trying to go to sleep! I could probably get 30 extra minutes of sleep a night minimum without it!
Haha cool post! Definitely a nice way to show that we are all humans and not even “healthy living” professionals can say they are perfect at all times. Thanks for sharing :)
haaaa I love Annie’s! I never add in stuff though… such a purist heh. Also, cereal – but I go for the super sugary!! No screen time before bed neeevvver happens for me. It’s like, two minutes before bed I turn off the phone… and then when I wake up again at 3:00am, I’m on it for a little bit, and then back to sleep.
I super struggle with the negative self talk. Before this training program started, I decided to just let myself eat whatever I wanted, guilt free, because when the training plan starts, I’ll eat correctly. So I ate eeevvverrryyything. Like, 4.5 donuts during a work training thing. Now I’m in the training, and I am being very good with my nutrition, but it is very difficult haha.
I like it when health and fitness professionals aren’t perfect – it makes them relatable :) Let’s see… foodie confessions… I ate pancakes four mornings in a row last weekend hahaha oops!
Yum! Do you have a favorite GF recipe?
Yes! I modify Minimalist Baker’s recipe: http://minimalistbaker.com/gluten-free-pancake-mix/ Maybe I’ll write a post about it soon because I’m that obsessed haha :)
love this. i have multiple “confession” moments every day. i, too, rarely go a day without a piece of chocolate and a glass of red wine is the cherry on top of my evenings. thanks for the granola love. i had to stop making it for a while. it was disappearing very quickly! :)
seriously, the recipe only lasts a few days in this household… of one! ;)
Love these! I’m with you on the screen time before bed thing. It’s an odd comfort to scroll through social media in bed. My confessions: I eat in front of the TV often (or while using technology) and I eat nut butter straight out of the jar every single day.
Confession: I eat nut butter multiple times a day!
As a fellow health professional, I can relate to so many of these! I so need to stop catching up on Instagram in bed. As far as confessions go – I am totally obsessed with apples and peanut butter. I eat it every single day! Also – I almost always have a stash of homemade cookies in the freezer. :-)
Mmm, frozen cookies are my favorite!
I am so with ya on the tortilla chips! :) What a FUN post! <3
I can totally relate to this post! And I love Moscow Mules too. Let’s get together for happy hour sometime. :)
Yes, let’s! :)
The Instagram struggle before bed is real, but I am trying to do better myself! Thanks for providing some realness! haha! I love number #2 above (no pun intended) it is very important and I don’t care who you are, everyone feels better on a regular schedule!
Let’s see, my confession is…. I ate an entire bag of Starburst Jellybeans over Easter Weekend. I figured it was better to get rid of them quickly! I look forward to it every year!
