KOMBUCHA UPDATE! 💥 Here they are! The first batch of finished product! And….

They taste amazing! Perfectly fizzed and flavored. 😋 Thanks sister!

I flavored my first batch with blueberries 🫐, strawberries 🍓, and lemon juice 🍋 .

I’m on my way….to saving a ton of money! 👏🏻

Now, let’s hope I don’t end up dead. 😂 Because, I guess then the money savings wasn’t worth it. 🤷🏻‍♀️

(Need a laugh? I tried fermenting vegetables a few years back. Once they were ready to go, I was too afraid to eat them and ended up throwing them out. 😂🤦🏻‍♀️)

🥪 IT’S BACON SEASON ~ I mean tomato season! 🍅 😋 I mean BLT season! 🥪

Ok, so you’re probably thinking…bacon?!

Yeah, well, when it’s tomato season, we splurge and have the bacon too! 🥓

Here is how Joy makes a “healthier” BLT! 🥪

Joy’s BLTA (that is not a typo!)

- BACON! 🥓 But, uncured with no added sugar!
- fresh tomatoes! 🍅
- spring greens 🥬
- home-grown broccoli sprouts! 🌱 🥦
- avocado! 🥑 (the “A” in BLTA!)
- avocado mayo (just a smidge!) (I use Primal Kitchen)

And the bread? Well, I’m gluten free so it’s hard to find good, local, high quality bread. So, I order mine. Where?

I googled for a long time before I found a company that was gluten free, organic, and had high fiber bread….

Let me tell you, it isn’t easy to find, but I dang well want the fiber if I’m going to eat it….

If you are looking for similar options, here is a link to their website.

I have the bagel shown below. 😋

Be picky about your bread. Grocery store typical brands are usually terrible for you and your gut….

Even if you buy from a local baker, ask for the ingredients used and ask about fiber content.

So, go enjoy bacon season! It’s only around for about a month…. 😋👏🏻💥😄

GRANDMA’S MENU! What do I feed my little when she comes? Well, here is an example from yesterday.

Breakfast:
- eggs mixed with homemade sausage, and a mixture of ground seeds (flax, chia, h**p) 🥚
- strawberries & blueberries 🫐 🍓
- homemade frozen Greek yogurt bites (I think she ate a dozen of them!)

* Why do I add a seed mixture to eggs? Well, because you can’t tell they are there, so why wouldn’t you add them for extra fiber and plant protein? 😉

Lunch:

- sirloin steak 🥩
- fresh sweet corn 🌽
- fresh cucumbers 🥒
- avocado 🥑

* She always devours the avocado first. But I was surprised she didn’t eat all of her steak. Usually she does….

Most of these foods were just leftovers that I had in my fridge.

She eats what we eat. And she seems to love all of it! 😊

RECOVERY AFTER WORKOUTS… When it’s hot and humid outside, you hit the gym…

Where it’s hot and humid! 😅

You can’t escape it right now, so what is the best way to recover?

- drink water with electrolytes!
- sip fluids steadily (not too fast)
- post-workout, eat some fruit along with that protein. (My fav is banana with sugar-free peanut butter!) 🍌 🥜

Be smart and listen to your body.

TO-GO OR NOT TO-GO! What do you do with restaurant leftovers?

Many people like to eat half of their ordered meal and then bring the rest of it home with them for the next day.

Is that you?

Although you might be saving calories that day, you’re just setting yourself up to have another unhealthy restaurant meal AGAIN…. 😳😬

What do I do?

I never take my leftovers home.

Why?

Because when I eat out - that is not what I’d consider a healthy meal, and I choose not to eat it for 2 days in a row.

My restaurant meals are usually foods that I don’t make or eat at home, and that’s ok! 🍕 It’s fine to have unhealthy meals once in a while….But, I wouldn’t choose to have it 2 days in a row.

I enjoy the treat in the restaurant, and then go home to healthier options the next day.

Splurge if you’d like when you eat out with friends or family (once or twice a week - don’t go overboard!), but the next day….get back on track!

Make smart decisions. 😉

Best option is to avoid leftovers and overeating by sharing a large meal with someone. 👊🏻

HOW WILL YOU AGE? Have you put any thought into what your future self will look like 10, 20, even 30 years down the road?

If you continue down your same health & wellness path, do you like what you see? 😳

If not, it isn’t too late to make changes.

Is it hard? Yep. 😅

Is it worth it? Yep. 👏🏻

Getting old is hard no matter what, so you might as well put in some extra work and make the journey worth it. ❤️‍🩹

Aging is a gift - make it one you’ll love! 💕

Let’s get old together. 👭👫👬

80’S VS TODAY: In the 1980s, fitness for women was all about endless cardio, chasing the lowest number on the scale, and trying to “burn off” every calorie.

Today…

We’re finally recognizing the value of building muscle.

💪 We lift weights.
💪 We prioritize strength.
💪 We protect our bones.
💪 We support our metabolism.
💪 We age with power instead of fearing it.

Cardio still has an important place—for heart health, endurance, and overall fitness—but it shouldn’t be the center of every workout anymore.

One of the biggest shifts in fitness has been realizing that muscle isn’t something women should avoid—it’s one of the best investments we can make for our future.

Strong is no longer the backup plan.
It’s the goal.

✨ If you could give your 1985 self one piece of fitness advice, what would it be?

KOMBUCHA! Well, we’ll see how it goes….

My sister got me started and shared her scoby. 😬

Health benefits of kombucha?! So many!

- gut health probiotic
- antioxidants
- antimicrobial benefits
- detoxifying

Now, let’s hope I do it right! 😉
