THINGS ARE MOVING FAST: KIDS, SCHOOL, WORK, SCHEDULES, SOCIAL OBLIGATIONS, MORE WORK. YOU’RE BUSY RUNNING AROUND TAKING CARE OF EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING. THEN YOU LOOK UP AND SEE AN ENTIRE MONTH HAS PASSED, BUT YOU’RE NOT REALLY SURE HOW IT HAPPENED?
THAT’S HOW I WAS FEELING WHEN I REACHED OUT TO ORGANIC PHARMER TO HELP ME PUT TOGETHER A 5 DAY MEAL PROGRAM. WHY? I WANTED TO SLOW IT ALL DOWN, BREATHE, AND RECONNECT WITH MYSELF AND HEALTHY HABITS. I FELT THAT TAKING A BREAK FROM ALL THE DECISION MAKING AROUND FOOD, MEAL PLANNING, AND COOKING FOR A FULL FIVE DAYS WAS A GREAT PLACE TO BEGIN.
I WASN’T LOOKING FOR A CLEANSE OR DETOX, ALTHOUGH EVERYTHING AT ORGANIC PHARMER IS FREE OF COMMON INFLAMMATORY FOODS, AND FOLLOWS THE PRINCIPLES OF FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE (BTW THIS IS SOMETHING I REALLY LIKE ABOUT THE BRAND). I WAS LOOKING FOR A FULLY CURATED, FIVE DAY, PREPARED MEAL PROGRAM FEATURING ORGANIC VEGGIES, FRUIT, WHOLE GRAINS, LEGUMES, HEALTHY FATS AND CLEAN PLANT PROTEIN THAT WOULD KEEP ME FEELING FULL, SATISFIED AND ENERGIZED, SO I COULD STEP BACK FROM THE HUSTLE, AND CREATE SPACE TO BE MORE MINDFUL AND PRESENT IN MY EVERYDAY LIFE.
YEP, EVEN HOLISTIC HEALTH COACHES NEED SUPPORT AND INSPIRATION FROM TIME TO TIME! IN FACT, ACKNOWLEDGING WHEN YOU NEED HELP, AND KNOWING HOW TO ASK FOR IT ARE KEY COMPONENTS OF A HEALTHY, HAPPY LIFESTYLE. HOPE YOU WILL FOLLOW ALONG THIS WEEK, AS I SHARE WITH YOU WHAT I’M EATING, HOW I’M FEELING, AND WHAT I THINK ABOUT THE ORGANIC PHARMER 5 DAY JUMP START MEAL PROGRAM.
ONTO 5 DAYS OF: PREPARED, WHOLE, PLANT-BASED MEALS, COLD PRESSED JUICES, SMOOTHIES AND HEALTHY SNACKS. STICK WITH ME THIS WEEK TO WATCH IT UNFOLD.
