Attitude is everything!

If you ate more than you intended over the festive period, keep a positive attitude.

One day’s indiscretion does not ruin your prior efforts.

Your attitude is central to your ability to control your eating both during and after a celebration.

The quality that separates success from failure is not perfection but THE ABILITY TO GET RIGHT BACK ON TRACK as soon as possible.

You've got this! We believe in you 💪

If we only made changes once a year, we’d never get very far.
Real health transformation happens in the small, consistent decisions you make all year long.

You don’t need a new month, a Monday, or a New Year to start again.
You just need one moment of intention — right now.

Every day is a fresh opportunity to realign, reset, and recommit to the choices that help you feel your best.
Progress comes from persistence, not perfection.

So instead of waiting for the “right time,” choose one small action today that supports your energy, your mindset, your hormones, or your goals.
Your next chapter starts with the choices you make daily — not annually.

You’ve got this. 💛

The holidays get busy — full schedules, full hearts… and sometimes too-full plates.
But here’s the good news: staying active this season doesn’t have to be complicated.

Movement is your secret weapon for:
✔️ Boosting energy
✔️ Managing stress
✔️ Stabilizing blood sugar
✔️ Supporting your mood
✔️ Keeping healthy routines alive

You don’t need an hour. You don’t need perfect conditions.
You just need 10–20 minutes of intentional movement:
• A brisk walk after dinner
• A quick strength circuit
• Stretching between events
• Dancing while you bake
• A snowy hike with family

Every bit counts — truly.
Your body will thank you for staying connected through movement, even in the busiest season of the year.

Give yourself the gift of feeling strong and grounded this holiday.
Keep moving. Keep showing up for YOU. 💪✨

It’s that time of year when well-meaning friends, coworkers, and relatives seem determined to feed us — cookies, treats, “just one bite,” and anything covered in sprinkles.

But here’s the truth:
Most people aren’t trying to sabotage you… they just associate food with love, celebration, and tradition. 💛

Still, your health goals matter, and you’re allowed to protect them.

If someone keeps offering treats you don’t want, try this simple boundary:
➡️ “No thank you.”
And if they persist:
➡️ Repeat, kindly and confidently: “No thank you.”

You don’t owe anyone an explanation.
You don’t need to justify your choices.
You’re allowed to enjoy the holidays your way — without guilt, pressure, or unwanted sugar.

Celebrate with presence, connection, and joy — not obligation. ✨

Garlic, bacon and shallots are all you need to add intense flavor to the Brussels sprouts in this side dish recipe that would work wonderfully with your Christmas meal!

Ingredients

6 slices of bacon, chopped

½ C sliced shallots

1 ½ pounds Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved

6 garlic cloves, thinly sliced

¾ C chicken broth

Salt and pepper to taste

Method:

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add bacon, and sauté for 5 minutes or until bacon begins to brown. Remove pan from heat. Remove the bacon from the pan with a slotted spoon, reserving 1 tbsp of drippings in the pan.

Return the pan to a medium-high heat, and stir in the bacon, shallots and Brussels sprouts; sauté 4 minutes. Add garlic, and sauté for 4 minutes or until garlic begins to brown, stirring frequently. Add the chicken broth, and bring to a boil.

Cook for 2 minutes or until the broth mostly evaporates and the sprouts are crisp-tender; stirring occasionally.

Remove from heat; stir in salt and pepper.

Makes 6 servings; count each serving as 1 restricted vegetable and 1 fat.

This time of year, sweets are everywhere — office tables, parties, gift baskets, you name it.

Instead of mindlessly grabbing every cookie in sight, try ranking your holiday treats from “nice to have” all the way up to “absolute favourites.”

🎄 If you’re going to have a sugary treat, make sure it’s one you genuinely love.
No more wasting calories (or blood sugar spikes!) on foods that are just “meh.”

✨ Ask yourself:

Is this a 10/10 treat for me?

Will I truly enjoy this?

Is it worth it?

Am I aware of and ok with the consequence of this choice?

When you save indulgences for your top picks, you enjoy them more — and you stay aligned with your health goals without feeling deprived.

So this holiday season, skip the forgettable snacks… and savour the treats that light you up. ❤️

If the scale and measurements aren't moving for a while, don’t panic! That’s your cue to pause and track everything you’re consuming. ✍️

But don’t stop at food alone. Write down:

Water intake 💧

Sleep quality 😴

Exercise routines 🏋️

Menstrual cycle (for pre-menopausal women) 🌸

These factors all influence progress more than we realize.

Next, revisit your plan. 📑 Are you sticking to portion sizes as sharply as you think? Sometimes “permission thoughts” sneak in: “I’ll get back on track tomorrow” or “This extra bread won’t matter.” Over time, small slips—like extra carbs or sugar—add up and stall results.

✨ Awareness is power. ✨ By tracking honestly and checking in with yourself, you’ll spot patterns, uncover hidden habits, and get back to steady progress.

Let’s change the way we talk about food!

So many of us grew up hearing phrases like:

❌ “I was bad today.”
❌ “This is a cheat meal.”
❌ “I shouldn’t eat that.”

But language matters — and the way we talk about food shapes how we feel about ourselves.

Food is not moral.
There are no “good” or “bad” foods.
And you are not “good” or “bad” based on what you eat.

Instead, try shifting the language:

✔️ “This food nourishes my body.”
✔️ “This food brings enjoyment.”
✔️ “I’m choosing what works best for me today.”
✔️ “This is a moment of balance, not guilt.”

When we remove shame and judgment, we create space for:

✨ mindful choices
✨ flexibility
✨ self-compassion
✨ long-term consistency

Healthy living isn’t about perfection — it’s about a supportive mindset and sustainable habits. 💛

Are you eating too often?

Sometimes we reach for food not because our stomach is truly hungry, but because of habit, boredom, or even suggestion. The next time you wander toward the kitchen, pause and tune in: What is my body really telling me?

Your stomach sends clear signals when it needs fuel:

Stomach growling: The classic rumbling sound caused by contractions in an empty stomach.

Hunger pangs: Mild discomfort or gnawing sensation in the stomach when food is needed.

Empty or hollow feeling: A physical sensation of emptiness in the stomach.

But when we eat out of routine or emotion, we interrupt the body’s natural rhythm. During fasting, your system shifts into fat‑burning mode. Each time you eat, you switch back into food‑burning mode.

So before grabbing that snack, ask yourself: Is this physical hunger—or just mental hunger? Learning to tell the difference can be a game‑changer for your energy, focus, and long‑term health. 🌱🔥
