Find Your Wild

My whole life I felt like I was missing out on something. Like I was living a life I was not meant for. It kept me from showing my true potential from the world and from being happy.

I choose to never stop learning. To continually grow and learn to love myself flaws and all. I will take each day as a blessing and use it to my full advantage. 

Spending time with my family and going on adventures daily 💙

That is my wild.

10 Reasons To Drink Lemon Water

1. Boosts Your Immune System

Lemons are high in vitamin C, which is great for fighting colds.  They’re high in potassium, which stimulates brain and nerve function. Potassium also helps control blood pressure.

2. Balances PH

Drink lemon water everyday and you’ll reduce your body’s overall acidity. Lemon is one of the most alkaline foods around. Yes, lemon has citric acid but it does not create acidity in the body once metabolized.

3. Helps With Weight Loss

Lemons are high in pectin fiber, which helps fight hunger cravings. It also has been shown that people who maintain a more alkaline diet (see #2) lose weight faster.

4. Lemon Water Aids Digestion

Lemon juice helps flush out unwanted materials. It encourages the liver to produce bile which is an acid that required for digestion. Efficient digestion reduces heartburn and constipation.

5. Is A Diuretic

Lemons increase the rate of urination in the body, which helps purify it. Toxins are, therefore, released at a faster rate which helps keep your urinary tract healthy.

6. Clears Skin

The vitamin C component helps decrease wrinkles and blemishes. Lemon water purges toxins from the blood which helps keep skin clear as well. It can actually be applied directly to scars to help reduce their appearance.

7. Freshens Breath

Not only this, but it can help relieve tooth pain and gingivitis. The citric acid can erode tooth enamel, so you should monitor this. I admit, I’m slightly worried about it.

8. Relieves Respiratory Problems

Warm lemon water helps get rid of chest infections and halt those pesky coughs. It’s thought to be helpful to people with asthma and allergies too.

9. Keeps You Zen

Vitamin C is one of the first things depleted when you subject your mind and body to stress. As mentioned previously, lemons are chock full of vitamin C.

10. Helps Kick The Coffee Habit

After I have a glass of hot lemon water, I actually don’t crave coffee in the morning. This is weird, I can’t explain it, but I’ll take it.

Foodie revolution

Let's talk about FOOD & balance!  I am a total foodie .. diets never worked for me because food and good food MUST BE present  in my life. ----》 so starving myself or eating bland foods is totally out of the question. 

I have finally found something that fits my foodie lifestyle!  I get to bake and cook fancy meals my heart out!  Eat delicious snacks and never get bored of my meal plan. 😎 ya I know radical right ? 

It's all about balance. And portion control. It's crazy once you get those basics down how easy proper nutrition can be. So screw the diet ... screw not eating the occasional treat. And screw not being able to accomplish my goal of sticking to clean eating! I've found something that WORKS! Thank God.󾮡

Still have a couple spots left in my next challenge group that focuses on BALANCE when it comes to nutrition.  Ready to say screw the diet? Join the foodie revolution  󾁒󾁛󾁑

3RD TRIMESTER FOODS

I am 33 weeks pregnant today! What kind of foods are best in the last stretch of pregnancy? 

What you eat during the last 3 months of pregnancy supports the continued development of your unborn baby, so it's essential that you choose nutrient dense foods that supply the vitamins and minerals your little one needs to grow .

⏩Salmon 👉Your baby's brain develops at a rapid pace during the third trimester, and eating foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids supports that growth. Salmon is a top food source of docosahexaenoic acid, or DHA, a specific fatty acid that promotes the formation and development of your unborn baby's nervous system. Season a piece of fresh salmon with your favorite herbs and spices. Grill or broil the fish for a nutritious meal or shred the cooked fish and scatter it over a tossed green salad. Walnuts, flaxseed and trout are healthy sources of DHA as well

⏩Eggs 👉Eggs contain choline, a nutrient that promotes proper functioning of cells, making it essential during the rapid growth your baby goes through during the third trimester. An article published in 2000 in the "Journal of the American College of Nutrition" notes that choline is often depleted during pregnancy but is critical for memory development that lasts throughout your baby's life. Adequate intake of choline might reduce your baby's risk of renal, pancreatic and growth disorders as well, reports a 2005 study published in the "American Journal of Clinical Nutrition." Have a hard-boiled egg for a snack or eat scrambled eggs as part of a healthy breakfast to help your baby get the choline she needs.

⏩Protein foods 👉Your unborn baby requires adequate protein to support the growth and development of her tissues and muscles during the third trimester. Many foods that contain protein also supply iron and zinc. Iron can help prevent premature delivery and low birth weight, and zinc aids in the production of insulin and enzymes. Lean beef and pork, white meat poultry, fish and beans are nutritious sources of protein, iron and zinc. Have a piece of grilled beef or pork for dinner or add shredded turkey or chicken to soup or chili. Add beans to stew, pasta or tossed green salads to boost your intake of protein, iron and zinc.

⏩Additional Foods 👉Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables during the third trimester of your pregnancy. They contain fiber, which can prevent constipation, a common complaint during this point in pregnancy. Fruits and vegetables supply vitamin C for your baby's immune system, vitamin A to support bone and tooth development and folate for proper DNA formation. Drink milk and eat low-fat cheese for a healthy dose of calcium, which promotes the formation of your baby's bones and teeth. Dairy foods supply B vitamins as well, which are essential for your baby's skin, nerves, digestive system and eyes.

Turkey Cabbage rolls

I said I would post my recipe for the turkey cabbage rolls... and I always keep my word so here it is! 

This was my first time making cabbage rolls. I'm all about trying out new recipes before baby comes so I can make huge batches on Sundays and freeze them. This one has been approved to the list and best part.. it's healthy! 

Ingredients 
-1 medium green cabbage
-1 pound ground turkey
-half cup brown rice 
-2 cups spinach 
-half cup chopped mushrooms
-2 small cloves garlic 
-1 yellow onion
-extra virgin olive oil
-fresh basil
-fresh oregano
-maranara sauce
-fresh cut tomatoes
-sea salt and pepper to taste 

In a medium skillet add 1 TBS of olive oil. Add garlic and mushrooms. Once soft add in spinach and cook down for about 4 mins, put in a bowl and let cool. Brown onions in thr skillet until soft, put those aside to cool as well.  Chop up spinach and mushrooms.ans add to onions. In a large pot add water and salt and boil.  Once boiling put in head of cabbage (remember to cut the stock off so it peels easy) every 5 mins a layer of leaf should easily come off... repeat until you have necessary amount for cabbage rolls. 

Mix the spinach, garlic and onion mix in with ground turkey. Chop up fresh basil and oregano and add into mixture. 

Dry the cabbage leaves and cut a triangle into the bottom to get any left over stem. Scoop a spoonful of the turkey mixture into the leaf and roll tucking in sides.  Lay into a lightly greased pan. 

Once you have all the rolls complete spoon over tomatoes and maranara sauce onto the rolls. 

Cover with tinfoil and bake at 375 for 1 hour. 

Let cool and enjoy :)
