This was a tough week, but I managed to keep my eating under control through all the emotions; I’m really glad I kept my food diary close by so I couldn’t cheat & pretend it didn’t happen. We went to the funeral of my brother’s best friend,...
Are you an emotional eater like I am? It’s something I’ve struggled with for a while and it’s practically ingrained in to our society. We eat when we are happy, we eat when we are sad, we eat when we are angry, we eat when we are bored, we eat when...
This week 23 was overall pretty good. 4 of the 7 days I got my uncooked veggies in, but I need to do a little better to eat my salad daily. However, what happens when I forget to write in my food diary for just a couple days? Old habits die hard. If you are struggling...
WOW! I have truly gotten out of the the habit of writing in my food diary. And unfortunately it’s taken its toll. So here is the good, bad, and the ugly: My Eat to Live Food Diary Week 22….although not really 22….but it just seemed easier to just...

This week I tried a few new recipes including Sweet & Creamy Chickpea Salad made with Pineapple (YUM!) and Instant Pot Cilantro Lime Rice, made with brown basmati rice. We also had repeats of some family favorites – Lentil Loaf, Cashew Kale, & Homestyle...
As you will see in this week’s daily food journal entries, I was tested, but able to stay strong and plan ahead. Social functions are where I struggle mightily! My husband and I had not one, but two banquets to attend in one week and guess what they were BOTH...
I’ve finally gotten back into my routine of prepping food and healthy eating. It’s amazing how just 4 days on a trip can throw you off balance and how hard it’s to get back going! But I’m finally back in the saddle and it sure has made a...
I almost didn’t write this post. I could have quietly just skipped over this week and pretended it didn’t happen. But it did. The truth is I’m still early in my journey. I’m less than 5 months in. I was starting to get comfortable and confident...
