My sweet boy just got back from @philmontscoutranc

My sweet boy just got back from @philmontscoutranch last night. I’m so proud of him for taking on a tough challenge & seeing it through. He struggled with altitude sickness along the way too. #scout #boyscoutsofamerica #tripofalifetime

As I work to get as healthy as possible, it seems

As I work to get as healthy as possible, it seems like my feed is filled with more & more food. I’ve learned that food is the best way to get the nutrients we need every day. If that doesn’t happen then you move to supplements, etc.

This Israeli Salad is going on my repeat list. It is so fresh, so healthy, & tastes amazing! I got the recipe from @downshiftology & I highly recommend!!

It only looks like we live in the country... 😂 Between the rain, spraying with liquid seaweed, & pouring my Thieves Fruit & Veggie Wash water on my garden, it has exploded! We have several little tomatoes, tons of big tomato buds, lots of peppers, & melon plants run amok. It’s beautiful!!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m so happy we got this garden in this season & can’t wait to get a second one started in the fall. It is such a great feeling to know where my food is coming from!

Motherhood didn’t quite work out for me in the traditional way but I sure do love this kid & was blessed to be chosen to be his mom. Happy Mother’s Day everyone!!

We are working on big changes in our lives in team

We are working on big changes in our lives in team Chilcoat. We have been biting around the edges of a healthy, crunchy life for a long time but we realized we weren’t doing enough.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As of about a week ago, we are extra-special, double committed to everything that will detoxify, enhance, & generally lead us to the best life possible. We’re not getting any younger & our teenaged son needs the best example we can give him.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We have officially given up sugar (it hasn’t been as hard as I thought so far). We are using intermittent fasting to help get healthier & thinner, we are being extra-careful about everything that’s going in our bodies & making sure the bad stuff comes out. We are getting in more movement too.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Are you attempting any big changes in your life?

My goal right now is to get refined sugar out of our lives. I know my family, though, & they love their sweets. So I gotta be creative & make some healthier options. First up? Applesauce. And I’m making it in my Instant Pot so it’s super easy. I also have complete control over ALL the ingredients. I’m using a recipe from @tastesbetterfromscratch

What are your fav sugar free healthy treats? I need all the ideas!! 😋
