I had an email from someone today that said; “your holiday sounds like it was hard work” and they were referring to the food prep (that I shared in yesterday’s post).
And they were right, it was a little hard work. Trying to eat well in today’s world is hard work. That’s just how it is.
Cooking meals from scratch every single night, even when you’re tired and don’t want to, is hard work.
Having the money to spend on organic, high quality food week after week, is hard work.
Standing at the juicer chopping and pushing through vegetables to make cold pressed juice, is hard work.
Finding creative ways to get healthy foods and supplements into children, is hard work.
Remembering to distil my water regularly so we have enough for the following day, is hard work.
It’s all hard.
But do you know what else is hard?
Feeling like sh*t from a week of eating junk food.
Having a bloated belly and smelly wind from eating food that your body doesn’t like or recognise.
Gaining new spots or scratching at inflamed skin.
Lacking the energy to get through the day or show up fully for your kids.
My point is, there is no easy way. There’s no short cuts. There’s no magic pill.
Everyday we have a choice and it’s either a choice that makes us stronger and healthier, or a choice that makes us weaker and sicker. And we all get to make it.
Sure, I could’ve just eaten junk food for a week. It wouldn’t kill me. I might not have even noticed it all that much.
But when you’re used to eating nourishing, quality foods… believe me, low quality junk food does NOT taste good.
So yes, it was a little effort, but I’m okay with that. It’s not about fearing foods and having a damaging mindset, it’s about wanting to feed my body good food because I love it and appreciate it.
And so I’ll always make myself and my family my top priority 🫶🏻
