Speaker 1: Hello you guys, Welcome back to another episode of the
0:16
Speaker 1: Hawkgirl Energy Podcast. I'm your host, Kaylee, and this is
0:19
Speaker 1: your weekly reminder that it's a new day, a new week,
0:22
Speaker 1: a new mindset, and another day. If you become the
0:24
Speaker 1: hawt Girl energy you want to attract. I just want
0:26
Speaker 1: to start off this episode by saying, I feel like
0:28
Speaker 1: the weather has been so crazy. I don't know if
0:31
Speaker 1: anyone else is currently dealing with spring one day and
0:36
Speaker 1: then you know, summer another day, and then winter the next.
0:40
Speaker 1: Like it has been like really nice days where it
0:42
Speaker 1: feels like fifteen degrees out, which is nice for us
0:46
Speaker 1: here in Ontario, and we'll be outside, you know, no coats, whatever,
0:49
Speaker 1: and then the next day it will be like pouring rain,
0:52
Speaker 1: really cold, and it's like, okay, well whatever rains whatever.
0:55
Speaker 1: And then the following day it will be like snow,
0:58
Speaker 1: Like it will wake up to a bunch of snow
0:59
Speaker 1: with it, Like what is going on? Like is it spring?
1:02
Speaker 1: Is it winter? Like just a weird time of the year,
1:05
Speaker 1: but obviously it's still winter and spring doesn't officially start
1:08
Speaker 1: untill later this week. But it's just funny to me
1:11
Speaker 1: how the weather has been such an interesting day, Like
1:15
Speaker 1: I feel like you wake up and you never know
1:16
Speaker 1: what it's going to be. Like, I'm like, do I
1:18
Speaker 1: wear a coat? Do I not? It's just that time
1:20
Speaker 1: of the year where it's weird weather and yeah, you
1:23
Speaker 1: know what, at least the sun is shining today, and
1:26
Speaker 1: I can take that as a positive going into the day.
1:28
Speaker 1: I wanted to record an episode about my relationship with
1:30
Speaker 1: food because I feel like my eating habits have really
1:34
Speaker 1: evolved since I was in my early twenties to now,
1:39
Speaker 1: and I feel like I definitely have a very different
1:41
Speaker 1: relationship with food than I did when I was younger.
1:44
Speaker 1: And I feel like this might relate to a lot
1:46
Speaker 1: of girls who are currently going through either a healing
1:50
Speaker 1: journey or maybe someone that can relate to going through
1:53
Speaker 1: maybe a difficult time with a relationship with food and then,
1:56
Speaker 1: you know, finally coming to a realization of a happy
2:00
Speaker 1: spot with food. And I think food is such an
2:04
Speaker 1: interesting topic because I think a lot of people, you know,
2:07
Speaker 1: sometimes don't realize the relationship that they have with food
2:10
Speaker 1: and how it's impacting themselves on a day to day basis.
2:13
Speaker 1: And I'm not a nutritionist, you know, sometimes I think
2:17
Speaker 1: I'm like, should I you know, get some schooling done
2:20
Speaker 1: and become one, because I am so fascinated by how
2:25
Speaker 1: food is such an important part to our bodies and
2:27
Speaker 1: how like literally certain foods that we eat can really
2:30
Speaker 1: play a huge impact in our mood and how we feel.
2:32
Speaker 1: I don't know, I just feel like I've always been
2:34
Speaker 1: very interested in learning about the way that food is
2:37
Speaker 1: and like the magic behind it and all that. And
2:39
Speaker 1: then I also thought I would share some recipes that
2:42
Speaker 1: I've been loving because I've definitely been trying out a
2:45
Speaker 1: lot of new recipes trying to incorporate new food groups
2:48
Speaker 1: into my day to day life, and figured it would
2:51
Speaker 1: be a good opportunity to just to kind of share
2:53
Speaker 1: things that I'm loving currently. I love hearing recipes and
2:56
Speaker 1: hearing what people are eating and what they're you know,
2:58
Speaker 1: trying out. I also love watching YouTube around that. So yeah,
3:02
Speaker 1: just like love the whole idea of like hearing what
3:04
Speaker 1: people are eating and what they do for meals. It
3:06
Speaker 1: just kind of gives you some inspiration. It gives me
3:08
Speaker 1: some inspiration to try out new things. So yeah, I
3:11
Speaker 1: thought it would do the episode around that. Before we
3:13
Speaker 1: get into that, I thought we could do a little
3:15
Speaker 1: bit of a weekly recap. This past weekend, it was
3:17
Speaker 1: my sister's twenty sixth birthday, which is so crazy because
3:22
Speaker 1: I feel like when you're the older sister and you
3:24
Speaker 1: see your younger sister just like grow up and see
3:27
Speaker 1: your enter like a new chapter every single year, it's
3:30
Speaker 1: just truly, I don't know, such a shocking experience. I
3:32
Speaker 1: still see her as like my young little sister and
3:35
Speaker 1: not the woman that she is now, and like she
3:38
Speaker 1: has a career now, and like she just has her
3:40
Speaker 1: shit together, and I'm so proud of her. But I
3:43
Speaker 1: just feel like every year, like when we celebrate a
3:45
Speaker 1: new age for her, it's always just such a crazy
3:49
Speaker 1: thing to see. I don't know if anyone knows this,
3:50
Speaker 1: but me and my sister are actually four years apart,
3:52
Speaker 1: and I feel like I've gotten a few questions asking,
3:55
Speaker 1: like our relationship and like has it always been the
3:57
Speaker 1: way that it is, of like us being so close,
3:59
Speaker 1: and and did you guys ever have like difficult times?
4:02
Speaker 1: We have definitely had not the most perfect relationship in
4:05
Speaker 1: the world, I think, obviously, like as you grow up,
4:07
Speaker 1: it was always difficult, like when I was four and
4:10
Speaker 1: she was a baby, obviously, like that was never an issue,
4:12
Speaker 1: like very easy to like kind of you know, adapt
4:15
Speaker 1: with a toddler, but I think it was really like
4:18
Speaker 1: hard for both of us. When she was in elementary
4:21
Speaker 1: school and I was going to high school, I never
4:23
Speaker 1: had a very good relationship with her. I think I
4:25
Speaker 1: was very embarrassed of having a younger sister. I know
4:30
Speaker 1: that sounds crazy right now, but like back in the day,
4:32
Speaker 1: I just feel like I would be scared that she
4:34
Speaker 1: would embarrass me, and like I wanted to look cool
4:36
Speaker 1: in front of my friends, and you know, because she
4:38
Speaker 1: was so much younger, I just like never really got
4:41
Speaker 1: along with her, and like we had our differences, and
4:43
Speaker 1: I think it's always really tough when you guys are
4:45
Speaker 1: in two different phases in your life, and we fully
4:47
Speaker 1: were in two different phases, and I think that's when
4:49
Speaker 1: it was kind of hard to be in a close
4:51
Speaker 1: relationship with her. Of course, during that time, we were
4:54
Speaker 1: still sisters and like got along, but I wouldn't say
4:56
Speaker 1: like we were friends. We were sisters. We're family, Like
4:59
Speaker 1: we're obviously I love each other no matter what, But
5:01
Speaker 1: we didn't have a very close relationship. I wouldn't say
5:04
Speaker 1: we got close really until my sister went to university,
5:07
Speaker 1: and then I was graduating college or fully had a
5:10
Speaker 1: corporate job. That's when we started to get really close.
5:13
Speaker 1: And that kind of like flourished our friendship and we
5:16
Speaker 1: became even closer and closer, and I would say, like
5:20
Speaker 1: the last three years, we've been the closest we've ever been,
5:23
Speaker 1: and it's truly been the best thing ever. Like having
5:27
Speaker 1: a sister that's your best friend is like literally the
5:30
Speaker 1: best thing ever. Like if you have two girls right
5:32
Speaker 1: now or two young boys, and like you're wondering if
5:35
Speaker 1: your kids will ever be best friends in life, whether
5:38
Speaker 1: there's a large age gap or not. I personally think
5:42
Speaker 1: that regardless, eventually they will be friends. Even if it
5:46
Speaker 1: is tough for a little bit, they will find their
5:48
Speaker 1: way to each other. And I remember my mom telling
5:50
Speaker 1: me like years ago when me and my sister were
5:53
Speaker 1: fighting and I'm like, oh, I wish I never had
5:54
Speaker 1: a sister, blah blah blah. My Mom's like, one day,
5:57
Speaker 1: you are going to thank me for having a sister,
5:59
Speaker 1: Like I just remember her telling me that word for word,
6:01
Speaker 1: like you are going to thank me one day for
6:03
Speaker 1: having her, And here I am to this day literally
6:07
Speaker 1: thanking God and my mother for blessing me with a
6:10
Speaker 1: sister who is literally my twin the same personality, Like
6:13
Speaker 1: I couldn't have ass for about our sister. So anyways,
6:16
Speaker 1: I just kind of wanted to share that because I
6:17
Speaker 1: feel like a relationship with the sister is also something
6:20
Speaker 1: that I've never really talked about, but I think it's
6:22
Speaker 1: such a blessing to have a sibling, and I am
6:25
Speaker 1: very grateful that we have such a close relationship. And yeah,
6:28
Speaker 1: so we celebrated her this weekend. We went to the spa,
6:31
Speaker 1: we had a girl's dinner together, and then I think
6:33
Speaker 1: she's doing another thing with her friends this weekend that
6:35
Speaker 1: she also invited me to. So yeah, we're just celebrating her,
6:39
Speaker 1: which is super nice. We're like twenty five days apart,
6:42
Speaker 1: so my birthdays in two weeks from now, so I've
6:46
Speaker 1: been in the full on party planning mode these past
6:50
Speaker 1: two weeks. I feel like I've been trying to show
6:52
Speaker 1: up on social media, but also like behind the scenes,
6:54
Speaker 1: I'm like signing contracts, trying to figure out, you know,
6:57
Speaker 1: things that I need to hire for this birthday party.
7:01
Speaker 1: But I went all out, I really did. I was like,
7:03
Speaker 1: fuck it, I'm just gonna like, go full out. I
7:06
Speaker 1: posted something on Instagram saying like should I go full
7:08
Speaker 1: out or should I just be like, you know, do
7:10
Speaker 1: something chill, And everyone was like, just go full out.
7:13
Speaker 1: I'm like, you know what, You're right. It's my thirtieth
7:15
Speaker 1: this might be my last big party that I do.
7:17
Speaker 1: I went full out. I really did, and I'm so
7:20
Speaker 1: excited to share with you guys the theme and just
7:23
Speaker 1: like everything, It's going to be so fun. I did
7:25
Speaker 1: actually end up hiring a content creator, which is kind
7:28
Speaker 1: of crazy, but I'm like, you know what, I want
7:30
Speaker 1: to get as much content out as possible, and sometimes
7:33
Speaker 1: I feel like I need the help because obviously I
7:35
Speaker 1: want to be like living in the moment, but also
7:37
Speaker 1: like getting the stuff on tape. So one of my girlfriends,
7:40
Speaker 1: who literally does this for a living, she does content
7:42
Speaker 1: creation for businesses, she was like, I can I can
7:45
Speaker 1: help you out. I'll help you film stuff throughout the night,
7:47
Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh my god, you're amazing. So it's
7:49
Speaker 1: going to be great just to have someone help me
7:51
Speaker 1: behind the scenes to record some stuff and also keep
7:53
Speaker 1: you guys in the loop throughout the party, make it
7:56
Speaker 1: feel like you guys are there with me. And we're
7:58
Speaker 1: having a fun time together. So I'm very excited about that.
8:01
Speaker 1: I cannot believe I turn thirty in literally like twenty days,
8:05
Speaker 1: maybe less than twenty days now actually, and then it's
8:08
Speaker 1: my husband's thirtieth next week. So me and my husband
8:10
Speaker 1: were both aries. We're eleven days apart. I don't know
8:13
Speaker 1: if you guys knew that, but we're both yeah and aries,
8:16
Speaker 1: and we're very similar, which I kind of love. We're
8:18
Speaker 1: both like very fire personality and I don't know, we
8:22
Speaker 1: just like I love that we're both aries. I think
8:24
Speaker 1: it's really fun and it makes a relationship really enjoyable.
8:28
Speaker 1: But I'm surprising him with a trip and I'm so excited.
8:33
Speaker 1: We're going away next weekend. He has no idea that
8:35
Speaker 1: I booked a trip for him, and I think he's
8:37
Speaker 1: going to be very excited to have a little trip
8:41
Speaker 1: to look forward to. So not only have I been
8:43
Speaker 1: planning my birthday, but I've also been planning my husband's birthday.
8:47
Speaker 1: And if you have a husband or a boyfriend, you
8:49
Speaker 1: know that they don't really like their birthday celebrated. Zachly
8:51
Speaker 1: was like, I don't want anything, like, don't please, don't
8:54
Speaker 1: surprise me. With anything, and I'm like, okay, well, obviously
8:57
Speaker 1: I'm going to surprise you with something because I'm a
8:59
Speaker 1: birthday and I want to celebrate my husband and he
9:01
Speaker 1: deserves to be celebrated, especially on his thirtieth birthday. So
9:05
Speaker 1: of course I was like, no, I'm not listening to you,
9:08
Speaker 1: and I'm going to do something for you. And I
9:10
Speaker 1: still kept it like what he would want, and I
9:14
Speaker 1: think that's all that matters. Like he doesn't want the
9:16
Speaker 1: big party, he doesn't want that type of shit like
9:18
Speaker 1: I want that he doesn't, so I'm, you know, making
9:21
Speaker 1: sure that I do something more like private and intimate
9:23
Speaker 1: for him where it's more so just him and I
9:25
Speaker 1: versus like a big party. So I think he's gonna
9:28
Speaker 1: love the trip and I think it will be a
9:29
Speaker 1: great way to start his thirties. So that's kind of
9:32
Speaker 1: been a little A life update is really just kind
9:34
Speaker 1: of birthday party planning, really trying to coordinate all the
9:38
Speaker 1: things that I need to coordinate before these next few
9:41
Speaker 1: weeks and they're gonna get real hectic. But make sure
9:44
Speaker 1: to be following me on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. Of
9:46
Speaker 1: course I'm going to be logging the entire experience through
9:49
Speaker 1: my camera. But let's get into today's episode. Okay, So
9:53
Speaker 1: let's talk about my relationship with food and kind of
9:56
Speaker 1: where it started versus where it is now. So the beginning,
10:01
Speaker 1: I want to say, back in twenty eighteen, maybe twenty seventeen,
10:08
Speaker 1: around there, I was very like overweight. I would say
10:13
Speaker 1: I was like pretty heavy. I was eating out literally
10:16
Speaker 1: every single weekend. I was buying chips, I was buying
10:20
Speaker 1: gummy bears every single weekend. Me and my husband when
10:23
Speaker 1: we were dating, we were like going through the phase
10:26
Speaker 1: of just like you're in a new relationship, you're going
10:28
Speaker 1: out for dinners constantly. You know, we spend our weekends together.
10:31
Speaker 1: We'd go you know, binge, eat and watch a movie together.
10:35
Speaker 1: We'd go to the movie theaters and again eating candy, chips, popcorn, whatever.
10:38
Speaker 1: Nothing wrong with that obviously, but like all about balance,
10:41
Speaker 1: you shouldn't be doing that like literally every single week
10:43
Speaker 1: and every single weekend, in my opinion, And so it
10:46
Speaker 1: was getting a little extreme. I wasn't working out, I
10:49
Speaker 1: wasn't having any type of healthy lifestyle whatsoever. And so
10:53
Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen, that's when I started to realize that
10:57
Speaker 1: I had to make a change and trying to figure
10:58
Speaker 1: out like new eating habits. It's a workout schedule for
11:01
Speaker 1: myself all that. And back in the day, Instagram was around,
11:04
Speaker 1: but the influencers that I followed were mainly on YouTube
11:07
Speaker 1: because obviously Instagram reels wasn't a thing, TikTok wasn't a thing.
11:11
Speaker 1: So I was following a lot of fitness influencers on YouTube,
11:15
Speaker 1: and those were the girls that really kind of helped
11:18
Speaker 1: me through my health and wellness journey of like figuring out,
11:22
Speaker 1: you know, healthy recipes, you know, my eating habits, what
11:26
Speaker 1: I should be avoiding, what I should be eating, you know,
11:29
Speaker 1: workout routines, whatever the case may be. Now, I will
11:32
Speaker 1: say that I don't want to say that these influencers
11:35
Speaker 1: that I watched forced me to eat the way that
11:37
Speaker 1: I ate, but I believed that the way these influencers
11:42
Speaker 1: were eating was the way that I had to also eat.
11:45
Speaker 1: Non dairy products were becoming a real big thing, so
11:48
Speaker 1: almond milk, oat milk, soy milk, all that. I feel like.
11:51
Speaker 1: That's like when things really started to like kick off,
11:54
Speaker 1: and I, for some reason thought that I had to
11:57
Speaker 1: jump on the non dairy train, even though I had
12:00
Speaker 1: had no issues with drinking dairy at all. I felt
12:03
Speaker 1: like I needed to become a almond milk gurly or
12:06
Speaker 1: whatever the case. I'd be. Like it was a trend
12:08
Speaker 1: at that point where I felt like everybody was just
12:10
Speaker 1: jumping on it for no reason at all, thinking that
12:12
Speaker 1: dairy was bad for us. And so I feel like
12:14
Speaker 1: that's kind of like where my toxic relationship kind of
12:17
Speaker 1: became a thing of like following these influencers of like
12:21
Speaker 1: how they were eating. And again, you have to understand that,
12:24
Speaker 1: like I'm not saying what they promoted was toxic. It
12:27
Speaker 1: was more so like I was doing these things to
12:29
Speaker 1: myself thinking that it was the right thing, and when
12:31
Speaker 1: it really wasn't. Like I really should have been like
12:33
Speaker 1: listening to my own body, not following someone else's eating habits.
12:36
Speaker 1: And that's where I feel like everything went wrong. You know,
12:39
Speaker 1: the girls were weightlifting, so I started weightlifting. The girls
12:43
Speaker 1: were tracking their macros, so I decided to download you know,
12:46
Speaker 1: an app and use that to track my calories. I
12:49
Speaker 1: was eating protein bars for lunch instead of actually eating
12:52
Speaker 1: a lunch. Like it was so bad, guys. I literally
12:55
Speaker 1: was just like following these girls completely and not doing
12:58
Speaker 1: anything that my body actually needed. And that's when I
13:01
Speaker 1: started to get extremely underweight, to the point where like
13:05
Speaker 1: my mom I remember, was like really concerned. She was like,
13:08
Speaker 1: you need to be eating more food. I was avoiding
13:11
Speaker 1: every possible carb that you could imagine. Like I would
13:14
Speaker 1: never eat pasta, I would never eat potatoes strictly, just
13:17
Speaker 1: like lettuce, zoodles, you know, anything that didn't involve a carb.
13:22
Speaker 1: I would essentially eat besides carbs, Like I truly wanted
13:24
Speaker 1: to remove carbs out of my diet completely. I had
13:27
Speaker 1: this massive fear of anything that was high in fat,
13:30
Speaker 1: so like any type of nut butter, you know, avocados.
13:34
Speaker 1: Avocados I avoided for like almost a year or two.
13:37
Speaker 1: I think I literally saw it as such a bad food.
13:41
Speaker 1: I don't know why. I just thought it was like
13:44
Speaker 1: something that I was scared of, Like anything that was
13:46
Speaker 1: really high in calorie or high in fat. I literally
13:48
Speaker 1: completely avoided from my diet completely. And I think it
13:51
Speaker 1: was because of like using that app that I could
13:55
Speaker 1: see the calories and I could see the fat. It
13:57
Speaker 1: kind of almost like scared me away from those foods
14:00
Speaker 1: and made me have a really unhealthy relationship with food.
14:04
Speaker 1: But I want to just say something about those apps. Okay,
14:07
Speaker 1: I actually do not see those apps in that way
14:09
Speaker 1: at all anymore. I think the time of my life
14:11
Speaker 1: that I was using that app, it was a toxic
14:14
Speaker 1: time for me specifically. But if I were to use
14:16
Speaker 1: the app now, I actually think it would be very
14:18
Speaker 1: useful if you're doing it right, It's actually a very
14:21
Speaker 1: healthy tool to use, especially if you're looking to either
14:24
Speaker 1: gain weight or lose weight, whatever the case may be,
14:26
Speaker 1: like tracking your macros and actually understanding the protein you
14:31
Speaker 1: need for the day today or the calories that you need,
14:34
Speaker 1: like if you're using it for a specific reason of
14:36
Speaker 1: like measuring things out so so healthy and so so needed,
14:41
Speaker 1: if you're like wanting to go that direction. So the
14:43
Speaker 1: apps now I actually love and I don't think there's
14:45
Speaker 1: anything wrong with it. I think just at the time,
14:48
Speaker 1: I didn't really truly understand how to use it and
14:52
Speaker 1: what foods were actually good for you. So I was
14:54
Speaker 1: using it strictly just like oh, low calories, low fat,
14:57
Speaker 1: like eating protein, no carbs, Like I was in a
15:00
Speaker 1: completely different mindset back then versus what I'm in now.
15:04
Speaker 1: So I think back then it was toxic for me,
15:06
Speaker 1: but I think right now it would never be toxic.
15:08
Speaker 1: It would actually be a benefit for me. I just
15:10
Speaker 1: wanted to say that because if anyone does use the apps,
15:12
Speaker 1: I think they're great. I don't think there's anything wrong
15:14
Speaker 1: with it. I just think with my personal situation that
15:17
Speaker 1: happened years ago, I don't think it was healthy for
15:20
Speaker 1: me at that time in my life where I didn't
15:23
Speaker 1: really understand anything when it came to the health and
15:25
Speaker 1: wellness journey, right, Like I really didn't know what I
15:27
Speaker 1: was doing, and so I just remember being really skinny,
15:31
Speaker 1: and I remember having no energy at all. I was
15:34
Speaker 1: very tired. I was using caffeine as my source of
15:39
Speaker 1: energy because I didn't have enough energy because I wasn't
15:41
Speaker 1: eating enough food or actually properly fueling my body. And
15:45
Speaker 1: I remember doing like really heavy lifting, like five to
15:49
Speaker 1: six times a week, and again not eating enough food
15:52
Speaker 1: to actually see the results that I wanted to see
15:54
Speaker 1: for my body. Like, yeah, it was skinny, but I
15:56
Speaker 1: didn't have any muscle on me because I wasn't eating carbs.
16:00
Speaker 1: I wasn't eating you know, high protein meals. So it
16:04
Speaker 1: just was like a very interesting time in my life
16:07
Speaker 1: where I personally think it wasn't healthy at all, Like
16:09
Speaker 1: I was actually doing the complete opposite. It was not
16:12
Speaker 1: something that was considered a health and wellness journey in
16:14
Speaker 1: my opinion at all. It was just like a very
16:16
Speaker 1: unhealthy relationship with food and not really understanding what was
16:20
Speaker 1: best for myself. I just wanted the goal of following
16:24
Speaker 1: these fitness influencers, thinking that I was doing the right
16:26
Speaker 1: thing when I actually wasn't. And I know I've talked
16:29
Speaker 1: about this story in the past. When it came to
16:32
Speaker 1: the realization of my journey, which was when did I
16:36
Speaker 1: realize that I was under eating or what I was
16:38
Speaker 1: doing was wrong. And it was in the moment where
16:41
Speaker 1: my husband said something and my parents said something about
16:43
Speaker 1: how I should be eating more and that I shouldn't
16:45
Speaker 1: have to restrict myself and that you know, I was
16:48
Speaker 1: getting too skinny. And it was the first trip to
16:50
Speaker 1: Europe with my husband when we were twenty one. So
16:54
Speaker 1: I can't remember what year that was, but I think
16:56
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, probably two years of like eating
17:00
Speaker 1: really strict and like thinking I had to follow this
17:02
Speaker 1: like really intense diet. So I think it was probably
17:05
Speaker 1: two years, which is kind of wild. We went to
17:08
Speaker 1: Europe and I remember telling my husband to make sure
17:12
Speaker 1: that I don't restrict myself from eating because Europe is
17:14
Speaker 1: known for the food, right, Like you want to go
17:17
Speaker 1: on a trip and you don't want to have to
17:18
Speaker 1: restrict yourself the entire time, Like you want to be
17:20
Speaker 1: able to enjoy the foods that you want. You want
17:23
Speaker 1: to be able to just enjoy the trip in general
17:25
Speaker 1: and not have to stress about like, oh my god,
17:27
Speaker 1: did I eat too much? Or you know, should I
17:30
Speaker 1: have had that gelato last night? Whatever the case me
17:32
Speaker 1: be like I remember telling my husband, please make sure
17:34
Speaker 1: that I eat everything that I want and that I
17:35
Speaker 1: don't restrict myself, and like he would literally like almost
17:38
Speaker 1: force me. I'd be like, oh, I don't know if
17:40
Speaker 1: I want the gelato, and he'd be like, no, we're
17:41
Speaker 1: getting the gelato. If you want it, we're getting it.
17:43
Speaker 1: Like he was like super supportive in that sense where
17:46
Speaker 1: he was kind of pushing me out of that comfort
17:48
Speaker 1: zone of like thinking that I shouldn't be doing it
17:51
Speaker 1: when it's o and he was kind of telling me,
17:53
Speaker 1: like it's okay to eat and treat yourself once in
17:56
Speaker 1: a while, like don't be upset with yourself if you
17:59
Speaker 1: know you're eating jill or eating a lot of pasta whatever. Right,
18:02
Speaker 1: So we were gone for four weeks. We were eating
18:04
Speaker 1: out every single night, we weren't working out. I was
18:06
Speaker 1: walking every day, but that was basically it like there
18:09
Speaker 1: was nothing that I really did kind of like maintain
18:11
Speaker 1: my fitness journey through that. But I think that's really
18:13
Speaker 1: where the healing journey started, was really being able to
18:17
Speaker 1: indulge what I wanted, not having to feel forced to
18:20
Speaker 1: like work out every single day. It kind of like
18:22
Speaker 1: made me step back and realize that I can still
18:25
Speaker 1: like maintain a healthy relationship with the workout routine and
18:29
Speaker 1: foods that I want to enjoy and still feel okay
18:32
Speaker 1: and good about myself. So I always like think of
18:35
Speaker 1: that trip and just how healing it was for me,
18:37
Speaker 1: because when I got back from that trip, I started
18:40
Speaker 1: working out less. I started working out like four to
18:41
Speaker 1: five times a week versus five to six. I was
18:44
Speaker 1: eating a lot more food. I was able to regain
18:47
Speaker 1: the confidence of eating pasta again and eating avocados again,
18:51
Speaker 1: and like treating myself to a sweet treat when I
18:54
Speaker 1: wanted to. Like, it was just kind of like a
18:56
Speaker 1: year of getting back into foods that I really enjoyed
18:59
Speaker 1: and really starting to understand the balance and how healthy
19:02
Speaker 1: it was to you know, indulge that past to when
19:05
Speaker 1: I wanted to or have that ice cream when I
19:08
Speaker 1: wanted to write. So that's kind of like where I
19:10
Speaker 1: kind of realized that I was actually being extremely unhealthy
19:14
Speaker 1: of you know, avoiding those foods, and I started to
19:17
Speaker 1: feel less tired, I started to regain more energy. I
19:21
Speaker 1: wasn't using you know, energy drinks or coffee as my
19:24
Speaker 1: source of energy anymore. It was really just like eating
19:27
Speaker 1: enough food throughout the day and you know, realizing that, oh,
19:30
Speaker 1: I actually feel better eating the right foods and like
19:34
Speaker 1: feeling good about it. Right, So when I think about
19:36
Speaker 1: my relationship today with food and how much it's changed,
19:40
Speaker 1: is just like understanding the meaning behind how important carbs
19:45
Speaker 1: are and how important protein is, and how important vegetables are.
19:49
Speaker 1: And now I like, I want all those things on
19:53
Speaker 1: my plate, if anything, I want literally everything and more.
19:56
Speaker 1: I want healthy fats, I want carbs, I want proteins,
19:59
Speaker 1: I want it all. I want want to fill my
20:01
Speaker 1: body so much where I feel so full that I
20:04
Speaker 1: can't eat anymore. I think also going into the mindset
20:08
Speaker 1: of kind of like prepping myself for conception has also
20:11
Speaker 1: been a huge thing for me. You know, I don't
20:14
Speaker 1: want to say I was under eating last year, like
20:15
Speaker 1: I was definitely eating enough food. I just think sometimes
20:18
Speaker 1: like lunch specifically for me was a big one. I
20:21
Speaker 1: feel like whenever I was, you know, here at the house,
20:25
Speaker 1: noon would come around and I would just like, oh,
20:27
Speaker 1: I'll just have a snack plate, or oh, I'll just
20:29
Speaker 1: you know, make a yogurt bowl, like I would just
20:31
Speaker 1: like eat a small lunch, which again nothing wrong with that,
20:34
Speaker 1: but I felt like in the afternoons I would get
20:36
Speaker 1: tired and I'd get snacky because I wasn't eating a
20:39
Speaker 1: big enough lunch. And so I think it was the
20:42
Speaker 1: end of last year I started to get back into
20:44
Speaker 1: meal prepping, or last summer, one of the two. I
20:46
Speaker 1: was talking about it with you guys in the podcast
20:48
Speaker 1: about how I wanted to get back into meal prepping
20:50
Speaker 1: because back in the day, I used to be really
20:53
Speaker 1: into it, but I would not like eating the same
20:55
Speaker 1: thing every single day. So what I do now is
20:57
Speaker 1: I don't do a whole meal for the entire I
21:00
Speaker 1: just cook the protein and then I try different meals
21:03
Speaker 1: out throughout my lunches. So one day I'll do like
21:06
Speaker 1: a taco bowl with like salsa, avocado, lettuce, and rice,
21:10
Speaker 1: and then the next day I'll do like burger bowls,
21:12
Speaker 1: so I'll do something with the ground beef again, but
21:14
Speaker 1: just like doing something a little different that doesn't taste
21:17
Speaker 1: the same as what I had the day before. So
21:19
Speaker 1: that's kind of how I like to do it now,
21:21
Speaker 1: is I just meal prep the protein and I'll try
21:22
Speaker 1: out different lunches throughout the week. That way, am not
21:24
Speaker 1: eating the same thing. But the point is that now
21:27
Speaker 1: I'm actually eating lunches that fill me up, and I'm
21:31
Speaker 1: not constantly snacking throughout the week because I didn't eat
21:35
Speaker 1: a big enough lunch. So it's all about just kind
21:37
Speaker 1: of like a learning curve. I think over time you'll
21:39
Speaker 1: kind of just like realize what works for you, what
21:41
Speaker 1: doesn't work for you. I think you'll always figure out
21:45
Speaker 1: what is best for yourself, and you just really need
21:47
Speaker 1: to kind of like see the signs, like if you're tired,
21:50
Speaker 1: if you have no energy, like maybe you aren't eating
21:52
Speaker 1: enough food. So then you need to realize, Okay, what
21:54
Speaker 1: foods should I be including to eat more of? Should
21:57
Speaker 1: I be doing a meal prep schedule where I'm you know,
21:59
Speaker 1: meal prepping line. That way, I have a big enough lunch,
22:01
Speaker 1: and I have a big breakfast and big dinner that
22:03
Speaker 1: I have as well. That way my body is fueled
22:05
Speaker 1: throughout the day. But anyways, the point that I was
22:07
Speaker 1: trying to make is that prepping for conception, I think
22:09
Speaker 1: is also just changed my perspective on food and my
22:12
Speaker 1: body and everything, because it's amazing what you can learn
22:17
Speaker 1: about food. I was reading the book Real Food for Fertility,
22:22
Speaker 1: and it was just kind of like explaining the benefits
22:24
Speaker 1: to everything that we would eat on like a daily basis,
22:27
Speaker 1: like common foods like eggs, broccoli, proteins like beef, chicken,
22:32
Speaker 1: all that, and just like understanding the knowledge behind those
22:36
Speaker 1: proteins and the benefits to eating those things for our
22:39
Speaker 1: bodies just made me see food in such a different way.
22:44
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think it's really something that you
22:46
Speaker 1: should look into if you're a person that wants to
22:48
Speaker 1: get into their prepping for pregnancy journey or whatever the
22:52
Speaker 1: case may be. This book has made me learn so
22:55
Speaker 1: much about food in the best way possible. I think
22:57
Speaker 1: it's been a really healing experience for me. I still
23:01
Speaker 1: technically haven't finished the book. I think I have like
23:03
Speaker 1: eighty pages left. It was a five hundred and fifty
23:06
Speaker 1: page book. Okay, It's been a very long book to read,
23:09
Speaker 1: and I only read it, I want to say, like
23:11
Speaker 1: maybe twice a week, and I'll like read it for
23:14
Speaker 1: like twenty to thirty minutes a day, So I'm not
23:17
Speaker 1: like reading enough of it where I'm like locked in
23:19
Speaker 1: and like finishing it in a month. Like I've been
23:22
Speaker 1: reading it for the past three months and I'm almost
23:26
Speaker 1: done it. But I've learned a lot. It's been very
23:28
Speaker 1: educational and yeah, just something that I've really enjoyed learning
23:33
Speaker 1: about and just learning the benefits around certain foods. And
23:36
Speaker 1: I think it just has made me appreciate eating so
23:39
Speaker 1: much more in the best way possible. And I've just
23:41
Speaker 1: been feeling like my healthiest self lately. And I think
23:43
Speaker 1: it's just because I feel like I finally have a
23:45
Speaker 1: really healthy relationship with food and just like understanding the
23:50
Speaker 1: benefits behind everything, like certain fruits that I eat in
23:52
Speaker 1: the morning, you know. Now I've been including like chia seeds,
23:56
Speaker 1: flack seeds, hemp seeds or hemp hearts, whatever they call it.
23:58
Speaker 1: Like I'm starting to include like more of those things
24:01
Speaker 1: into my yogurt bowls and all that because I'm realizing
24:03
Speaker 1: the importance around eating those things. You know, I am
24:07
Speaker 1: not a big salmon person or a big fish person,
24:10
Speaker 1: but you know, I've always wanted to increase my omega threes,
24:14
Speaker 1: So I'm trying to find ways to incorporate fish into
24:18
Speaker 1: my dinners throughout the week. So Zach and I have
24:21
Speaker 1: been trying to have salmon once a week. Again, I
24:23
Speaker 1: don't love salmon, but I'm finding different ways to cook
24:26
Speaker 1: it to make me enjoy it. So it's all about
24:30
Speaker 1: just like kind of like learning ways to incorporate things
24:33
Speaker 1: into your day to day lifestyle. But that's kind of
24:36
Speaker 1: what my journey has been, Like, I know everyone's journey
24:38
Speaker 1: is different, but I just kind of wanted to share
24:40
Speaker 1: my kind of like my path of like how I
24:43
Speaker 1: kind of found myself again and how I did start
24:46
Speaker 1: off in a rough situation where I didn't really understand
24:49
Speaker 1: what healthy eating meant and now I feel like I'm
24:51
Speaker 1: in a really good stage where I'm able to finally
24:54
Speaker 1: eat the foods that I used to be afraid of
24:57
Speaker 1: and like finally found a relationship where I want eat
25:00
Speaker 1: those foods, and I understand the benefits of eating those
25:02
Speaker 1: foods now and I think it's so important to follow
25:05
Speaker 1: influencers like that nowadays as well. I feel like there's
25:08
Speaker 1: so many amazing people out there that promote such a
25:11
Speaker 1: healthy balance, you know, eating pattern. Like I know some
25:15
Speaker 1: people have a love hate relationship for what I eat
25:17
Speaker 1: in a day's I personally love it because I love
25:19
Speaker 1: gaining meal inspo and inspiration from people. But if you're
25:23
Speaker 1: doing it in the right way, Like if you're promoting
25:25
Speaker 1: what I eat in a day, but you had like
25:27
Speaker 1: two meals and one snack, like, please don't post that.
25:30
Speaker 1: That's embarrassing. Like I would like to see proper meals,
25:33
Speaker 1: proper snacks, like something that someone would actually eat and
25:36
Speaker 1: feel fueled throughout the day. So that's my journey on that.
25:40
Speaker 1: But let's talk about some recipes that I've been loving.
25:43
Speaker 1: I have a few dinner recipes here, some lunch recipes,
25:46
Speaker 1: some breakfast recipes, along with some desserts that I've recently tried.
25:50
Speaker 1: So let's start off with dinner. One dinner that I've
25:53
Speaker 1: recently included into our dinner rotation is oven salmon with
25:58
Speaker 1: rice and cucumbers and we talk off with a spicy
26:01
Speaker 1: Mao sauce. I think this is a recipe that was
26:03
Speaker 1: famous on TikTok a few years ago. I have been
26:06
Speaker 1: trying to incorporate salmon into my day to day routine,
26:09
Speaker 1: as I said, and just trying to get my Omega
26:11
Speaker 1: threes up. So this has kind of been a dinner
26:14
Speaker 1: that I have liked that includes salmon. I can't really
26:17
Speaker 1: eat salmon on its own unless there's like some type
26:20
Speaker 1: of sauce that is kind of like masking the taste,
26:23
Speaker 1: if that makes sense. If you have any good salmon recipes,
26:26
Speaker 1: please send them to me because I would love or
26:28
Speaker 1: comment down below here on the podcast. I would love
26:31
Speaker 1: to see any recipes. Also, if you recommend anything like
26:34
Speaker 1: it doesn't have to be salmon specific, any healthy recipe
26:36
Speaker 1: that you love that I may have not tried, please
26:39
Speaker 1: send it my way or comments on below. I would
26:41
Speaker 1: love to hear it, and maybe I'll try and film
26:44
Speaker 1: some recipes that you guys have sent in. That would
26:46
Speaker 1: be such a fun series to start on TikTok or Instagram.
26:50
Speaker 1: But that's a recipe that's new to us that we've
26:52
Speaker 1: been trying to incorporate into our dinner rotation. Another one
26:55
Speaker 1: we love is taco stuff peppers, where we stuff either
26:59
Speaker 1: ground beef or ground turkey and we use a taco seasoning.
27:03
Speaker 1: We add like cornhili pinots. You could also add onion,
27:07
Speaker 1: sprinkle a little bit of cheese on top, and we
27:09
Speaker 1: put it into a bell pepper. Literally one of our
27:12
Speaker 1: favorite dinners. It's so good, it's so filling. You can
27:14
Speaker 1: also add rice. If you want to add more carbs,
27:16
Speaker 1: you can also add beans. It's such a fun way
27:19
Speaker 1: to change up a typical taco, but doing it in
27:22
Speaker 1: a stuff pepper is yeah, so so fun and it's
27:25
Speaker 1: so good. So that's probably one of our favorite dinners.
27:28
Speaker 1: We also love just like plain dinners when it's just
27:31
Speaker 1: like steak, rice, avocado and that is it strictly just
27:35
Speaker 1: like a simple bowl. We also like to add like
27:38
Speaker 1: oven roasted broccoli. Putting broccoli in the oven has changed
27:43
Speaker 1: my life. I cannot explain how good this is. Guys,
27:46
Speaker 1: add a bit of avocado oil on top with salt
27:48
Speaker 1: and pepper. Very simple, but very good. I've done, like
27:52
Speaker 1: you know, boiled broccoli on the stove top for years. Okay,
27:56
Speaker 1: I strictly would just eat broccoli because it's good for you,
27:58
Speaker 1: it's healthy. You know. Putting it on the stovetop is
28:01
Speaker 1: just easy, but putting it in the oven just tastes
28:04
Speaker 1: ten times better. And I actually really enjoy broccoli when
28:07
Speaker 1: it's in the oven, especially Brussels sprouts as well. When
28:09
Speaker 1: it's cooked in the oven, trust me, if you've never
28:12
Speaker 1: done it before, it kind of tastes just like a
28:13
Speaker 1: little bit crispier and it's really really good. So we
28:16
Speaker 1: love having oven broccoli with steak, rice and avocado. We
28:21
Speaker 1: also love to make burger bowls. That's another one that
28:23
Speaker 1: we make pretty often, which is again just ground beef, lettuce,
28:27
Speaker 1: cherry tomato. We'll make baby potatoes, spicy Mao sauce and
28:32
Speaker 1: that's it. It's pretty simple. A lot of these recipes too,
28:35
Speaker 1: I've posted a lot on my TikTok and Instagram, so
28:37
Speaker 1: if you ever want to see a visual or the
28:39
Speaker 1: full on recipe details, those are all on my social
28:42
Speaker 1: media platforms, which I've linked in the podcast description down below.
28:45
Speaker 1: We also make taco soup or white chicken chili. We
28:49
Speaker 1: also love beef chili and then marry me chicken as well.
28:53
Speaker 1: Those are also really popular recipes that we found throughout
28:56
Speaker 1: Pinterest and TikTok that you could probably search or again
28:59
Speaker 1: you can find on my Instagram or TikTok page for
29:02
Speaker 1: lunch ideas. I love doing Chaco bowls again, just doing
29:06
Speaker 1: like ground beef salsa, avocado rice with corn sprinkle a
29:12
Speaker 1: little bit of cheese on top. I've been loving this
29:14
Speaker 1: pabrika sauce that I found from farm Boy. It's so good.
29:17
Speaker 1: It's like a taheen sauce that you can put on top.
29:21
Speaker 1: It's one of my favorite lunches that I've been having
29:23
Speaker 1: on rotation. It's just really really filling and just like
29:26
Speaker 1: a really easy lunch to make. I also love to
29:29
Speaker 1: make either turkey meatballs or chicken Greek bowls. I love
29:33
Speaker 1: just getting some taziki, making a bit of like a
29:35
Speaker 1: Greek salad with like cucumber, red onion, and cherry tomatoes
29:40
Speaker 1: again doing like baby potatoes in the side with some
29:43
Speaker 1: taziki sauce and then the chicken or turkey meatballs. That's
29:46
Speaker 1: when recipe have been making on rotation. Also can make
29:48
Speaker 1: a chicken stir fries sometimes with it's just like chicken peppers,
29:52
Speaker 1: onions and rice. Super simple you could put a little
29:54
Speaker 1: bit of seasoning on top. I love using like paprika
29:57
Speaker 1: or chili powder, cayenne pepper. I like to try and
30:00
Speaker 1: make my seasonings at home as much as I can
30:02
Speaker 1: without buying like a prepackaged thing. If I do buy
30:05
Speaker 1: a prepackaged like taco seasoning or some type of seasoning,
30:08
Speaker 1: I usually get it by the brands Siete, just because
30:10
Speaker 1: it's like really clean ingredients and I really love the
30:13
Speaker 1: ingredients that they use in their products. I also love
30:17
Speaker 1: the Siete chips. That's something I snack on all the time. Again,
30:21
Speaker 1: just really clean ingredients and just such a good snack.
30:23
Speaker 1: It's like my favorite healthy chip. Or I think they
30:26
Speaker 1: have like other things too besides chips, like desserts and
30:29
Speaker 1: all that. Just a really good brand in general. I
30:31
Speaker 1: also love to make the hot honey avocado bowls, which
30:35
Speaker 1: is like avocados, sweet potato, grum, beef, cottage cheese or ricotta.
30:40
Speaker 1: I'm not a big cottage cheese person. I don't like
30:42
Speaker 1: the texture. I prefer ricotta's texture, so I usually do
30:45
Speaker 1: ricotta instead and then I put red chlea flakes and
30:48
Speaker 1: honey on top. That's something I make all the time,
30:51
Speaker 1: and you probably would see that in my videos, but yeah,
30:53
Speaker 1: it's like one of my favorite bowls that I eat
30:56
Speaker 1: all the time. And then usually in the summer, I
30:58
Speaker 1: love to make protein pasta salad. I'll buy like protein pasta.
31:02
Speaker 1: There's a lot of like protein pasta brands out there
31:04
Speaker 1: that you could buy, and I'll just make like like
31:07
Speaker 1: a Greek inspired pasta salad usually. And yeah, those are
31:11
Speaker 1: kind of like my favorite lunches that I would prep
31:14
Speaker 1: throughout the week. For breakfast, I've been kind of simple.
31:16
Speaker 1: I feel like I'll do like eggs with sour dough bread,
31:19
Speaker 1: and then I'll usually do some type of Greek yogurt
31:21
Speaker 1: bowl with Kiwi blueberries, raspberries, honey, cinnamon, and then I'll
31:28
Speaker 1: top it off with like chia seeds, black seeds and
31:30
Speaker 1: all those different kind of seeds on top. I've also
31:33
Speaker 1: been having my protein oats again. This is something that
31:36
Speaker 1: I like recently brought back into my routine. I used
31:38
Speaker 1: to make these all the time, literally one of my
31:41
Speaker 1: favorite breakfasts and so filling. But that's just like protein
31:45
Speaker 1: powder oats, milk. Put them on the stove, and then
31:47
Speaker 1: I'll add like any tip of topping you want. I
31:49
Speaker 1: love adding like blueberries, bananas, chia seeds, almond butter. I
31:53
Speaker 1: love almond butter on protein oats. I use a vanilla
31:56
Speaker 1: protein powder and it almost tastes like cake batter. It's
32:00
Speaker 1: literally it's crack. I'm obsessed. I don't have it every
32:03
Speaker 1: single day. I usually like do a rotation of the eggs,
32:05
Speaker 1: sour dough, and like Greek yogurt, and then I'll do
32:08
Speaker 1: protein oats the other day. So that's kind of like
32:10
Speaker 1: my breakfast rotation. I don't really have too much breakfast,
32:13
Speaker 1: just because I'm a very routine person. I kind of
32:15
Speaker 1: just like to eat the same thing the odd time.
32:18
Speaker 1: I would crave like a berry nut smoothie where it's
32:21
Speaker 1: just kind of like bananas, strawberries, almond butter, protein powder,
32:25
Speaker 1: almond milk, or oat regular milk. I've been drinking dairy.
32:28
Speaker 1: I don't drink almond milk or oat milk anymore. I
32:31
Speaker 1: used to, obviously, as I said, but I converted to
32:33
Speaker 1: dairy last summer and it was literally the best decision ever.
32:38
Speaker 1: But I don't know just in terms of like how
32:40
Speaker 1: I feel like, I feel like it was kind of
32:42
Speaker 1: bloated with oat milk. Like, again, there's nothing wrong with
32:45
Speaker 1: you know, the non dairy products out there. There's some
32:48
Speaker 1: that obviously are not the greatest, but yeah, no, I
32:52
Speaker 1: was buying a good oat milk back in the day
32:54
Speaker 1: and then I just was like kind of noticing inflammation
32:57
Speaker 1: for no reason. So that's kind of why I switched
32:59
Speaker 1: to dairy. And it's been great since I switched, and
33:02
Speaker 1: I love the taste of dairy now. And then for dessert,
33:04
Speaker 1: I've been making a lot of banana chocolate desserts. You've
33:06
Speaker 1: probably seen that I've been making ban and oat cookies.
33:10
Speaker 1: I've been making banana chocolate sea salt bark. This is
33:13
Speaker 1: something that I recently tried that I'm obsessed with. It's
33:15
Speaker 1: so good, guys, you need to try it out. Super simple.
33:17
Speaker 1: I actually just posted it on my TikTok this week,
33:21
Speaker 1: so definitely check that out. I love the banana bread
33:26
Speaker 1: cookie dough balls, and yeah, that's kind of it. I've
33:30
Speaker 1: just kind of been like going on rotation for like
33:32
Speaker 1: making those healthy desserts, eating kind of like those same breakfasts,
33:36
Speaker 1: shared my lunch ideas that I keep going back to
33:38
Speaker 1: some of my favorite dinner recipes. But I would say
33:41
Speaker 1: those are like typical recipes that I have on a
33:43
Speaker 1: pretty like frequent basis that I usually always go back to,
33:46
Speaker 1: like just something that I always try and buy at
33:49
Speaker 1: the grocery store, all the ingredients for. It's just easy,
33:51
Speaker 1: it's healthy, it's good, and I just love to eat
33:55
Speaker 1: those recipes. Well, that is our episode for today. I
33:58
Speaker 1: hope you guys enjoyed this episode. It's Zach's birthday next week,
34:01
Speaker 1: and I think we're leaving on our trip the day after,
34:04
Speaker 1: so it just might be a little stressful trying to
34:05
Speaker 1: get a podcast episode up. But the following week, I
34:09
Speaker 1: am going to be posting an episode in regards to
34:12
Speaker 1: just like my twenties in general. It's like what I've
34:14
Speaker 1: learned throughout my twenties before entering my thirties. I think
34:18
Speaker 1: that's going to be a huge episode to really really
34:21
Speaker 1: talk about, and I think that's something that you guys
34:24
Speaker 1: should all listen to, just things that I've learned throughout
34:26
Speaker 1: the past ten years of being in my twenties, things
34:29
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to going into my thirties, entering a
34:32
Speaker 1: brand new decade. I think it'd be a really fun
34:34
Speaker 1: episode just to kind of really lean into just kind
34:37
Speaker 1: of like other mistakes I've made or lessons I've learned
34:40
Speaker 1: throughout the past ten years of being in my twenties,
34:43
Speaker 1: so I thought that'd be a really nice episode to
34:46
Speaker 1: do before entering my new decade of turning thirty. Anyways,
34:51
Speaker 1: I hope you guys enjoyed this episode. Thank you guys
34:53
