You may have noticed that some of the recipes we've posted recently are made with limited ingredients or are keto-friendly. I take pride in shopping for and cooking healthy food from scratch for our family. I have always been very active, most of my jobs have been physical which has taken a toll on my body. I have made the decision to wake up every day and improve myself rather than wither away in pain. I want to be healthy and agile enough to play with my granddaughters, teach them to ride horses, and ski, two of my favorite activities. Having enough energy, removing stiffness, pain, and stress is key to my life.
I had cooking jobs and I studied animal sciences and agriculture at University so I know a lot more than the average joe about nutrition. But, learning to eat better for a healthy lifestyle isn’t an easy thing these days, there is so much information and we have been influenced by the food industry giants into thinking what is good or bad for us. I had heard about a new way to think about health and eating while taking some courses on mindfulness called WildFit. I did a 90 Day WildFit challenge and am 30 pounds lighter. And a picture tells 1000 words.
The WildFit program has changed the way I see my relationship with food, and I understand what foods do to our bodies. I haven’t gained a pound back, and have lost even more inches. I’m more agile, stronger, and just feel better. I have a bounce to my step again! It’s a phenomenal feeling of accomplishment. A month has gone by since my live calls, with my group and coach Joanna ended and I am confidently still eating Wildfit, with a few treats here and there. I’ve learned to believe and have patience with myself. I’ve learned to figure out what emotion is driving me to sabotage my health and look to reward that feeling with a healthy activity instead of food. For some reason, I am enjoying being so much more mindful of every task that I do. I don’t just do what has to be done, I do things with joy again. And my IBS seems to have become a memory and even if it returns I now know what I can do for relief.
My second goal was to learn to eat and cook for me while cooking for others at the same time. I knew this was going to be a challenge because we have a multi-generational house and everyone has different preferences. With that being said I have found that I don’t mind buying, cooking nor watching other people eat stuff (like donuts) that I don’t feel is good for me nor do I want to eat it. My body thanks me for this new chance for better health. I thank all of the people of WildFit, for their knowledge and especially my coach Joanna for her support and friendship, this was a one of a kind experience.
