About last night… 😋

The Culinary Institute of America offers a 4 course meal prepared by students aspiring to become chefs! And as a result, we got to experience some amazing dishes (at a fraction of the cost since they are in training!).

Here are a few pics of what was served at our table. I loved being reminded that food is nutrious, delicious and absolutely a work of art! 🤩

I cannot over emphasize the importance of drinking water!! I used the bathroom 4 TIMES on the plane! 😆 When clients if they need to drink more water I say yes - and this is why!!

Water is a critical component of your body, making up between 55 -60%. Our bodies can't store water, so we need to replenish it daily! Every function in our body takes place in water!

1. Its calorie free, but helps us feel full and satisfied 🙂
2. It keeps you from overeating! 🍽
3. It facilitates in the removal of toxins! ☢
4. It prevents dehydration as our bodies eliminate excess salt and water from our diet of too many processed foods. 🥵
4. It minimizes or eliminates fatigue 😴 lack of energy, headaches 🤯 and unclear thinking 🤪
5. It speeds up metabolism❤
6. It helps your liver convert fat to energy! 💯

If you don't drink enough water, your body is forced to recycle dirty water and that's just gross!!!

Just experienced the safety briefing on the plane and as they say every time, “you must put your own oxygen mask on before helping others”. That’s true in life, not just on an airplane. 

Take care of yourself, prioritize yourself, make sure you are focusing on what YOU need. Today and always. It’s not just OK but necessary that we take care of ourselves first.Otherwise it’s impossible to help others.

I look at this in the same way in my mental health and physical health. If I am bogged down mentally, it’s nearly impossible for me to help others clear their mindset and focus on what they want most. And if I’m not paying attention to my physical health and wellness, how in the world can I guide someone else to do that for themselves?

Let’s all put our own oxygen masks on first today and do what we need to do for ourselves so that we can show up as our best selves for those around us.

Celebrating my friend Debi tonight who thought she would never be able to get rid of the “belly fat” as she calls it. Ladies, you know what we’re talking about. That belly pudge that seems to come out of nowhere once we hit our mid 40s. Thanks so much, perimenopause! 🙄

Not only is she down 37 pounds but she has been maintaining her healthy weight and lifestyle for YEARS! If you’re sick of stubborn belly fat like Debi, let’s fix that!

We will be heading to Napa this week. 🍷 I am both extremely excited and if I’m being completely honest, a little bewildered. You see, I don’t really drink as much alcohol as I used to. And I definitely don’t drink wine in the volume or frequency that I once did. Therefore my tolerance is kind of in the toilet. That’s good and bad, right?! 😜

But this is what I’ve realized as the Caroline today vs the Caroline from 4 years ago. I am going to Napa with other couples to enjoy their COMPANY, the beautiful SCENERY, amazing FOOD, and really tasty wine. My focus on the alcohol piece is completely different now than it used to be. 😉

I’ll be the first to admit that I used to drink wine to numb out some of my feelings. Frustration, anger, exhaustion, and the notion that “I deserved that glass (or 4) of wine because my day was hard”. 😢

Y’all, I was hiding behind that wine glass because I wasn’t really ready to face the hard. The hard of dealing with my emotions that were warranted, but still difficult. The hard of not liking what I saw in the mirror. The hard of being so uncomfortable in my own skin that I felt like I needed some alcohol to gain confidence. (It was fake confidence just so you know.) 🙄

So I am very much looking forward to the new Caroline who no longer use alcohol to cope, but instead will enjoy a wonderful trip with wonderful people - without having to hide a darn thing. 🥰

I think they love him. 😻😻

Did you know?! This right here is 1.5 ounces (or maybe a quarter of an average sized avocado) and has about 6 grams of fat. While avocados are a super food and contain healthy fat, most of us don’t need the almost 30 grams of fat in an avocado at one time! Healthy fats are required for absorption of fat soluble vitamins, including A, D, E and K. Healthy fats also help to keep you full and do a phenomenal job of adding great flavor to food. But - Portion sizes matter.
