Health(y) Food

The term health food is so misleading. Often companies will advertise their products as "health food" when in reality it's just "low-calorie" or "low fat" and in order shave the calories they've packed it full of chemicals and things that are way less healthy than pesky calories. So what is healthy food, really? The easiest way to tell if something you're eating is truly healthy is to look at the ingredient list and see how many things you have actually heard of- or better yet, can pronounce. If the number of ingredients you recognize is less than those you do- it's probably not something you want to eat. There are lots of special diets that consist of healthy food- the raw diet, and paleo are just two examples, but it's really not necessary to limit yourself in that way if you don't want to. Educating yourself on things like GMOs, the dangers of soy, what sugar does to your body, and the difference between natural and organic are things that I think are really important. Also, don't be afraid to try and shop healthy. It's not as expensive as it used to be. Grocery stores like Aldi and Kroger are committing to stocking more organic food options at affordable prices. Sure Whole Foods has allure, but I know I can't afford to shop there all the time, and frankly some of their stuff is a rip-off. One of my favorite ways to get healthier food options at reasonable prices is Kroger's Simple Truth line- it's not perfect, but it's almost there, and way better than the alternative.

Right now eating healthy has become very difficult for me. I've been given extreme diet restrictions due to my Systemic Nickel Allergy Syndrome. Most of the easy go-to healthy options are ruled out for me. No salads, no leafy greens, no beans, no nuts of any kind, no oats or whole grains- yikes- it's a nightmare. I also can't eat any soy- which is a sneaky little bugger and hides is SO MUCH. So what am I eating these days? Well, I'm constantly looking for ways to be satisfied and still eat smart. I have found some things that I love and I thought I'd share them with you.


My new fave snacks are That's It bars. They are SO good, and they only contain 2 ingredients. At 100 calories a pop, they're something I feel great grabbing in between meals to curb a sweet tooth or craving. I get these at Kroger- they're pricey at $1.50 each, but it's something I'm willing to pay being that I'm so limited on options. If you have food allergies- these are seriously good. I only recommend the apple and banana if you REALLY like bananas because their flavor is strong. My favorite is the apple and cherry!

Another way I curb my sweet tooth is with vanilla yogurt. I know that Greek yogurt is like "the thing to do" these days, but I honestly can only handle it every now and then. For me I stick with the plain old regular yogurt. When it's on sale I'll buy organic, but most of the time I just go with Yoplait! The only weird ingredient in it is modified corn starch- which means a chemical was added to the corn starch to help it perform in a way necessary for the food- like gelling better for cold foods. Chemicals are never great, but I can live with this- and for those of you that are gluten-free, modified corn starch is definitely still GF. Yogurt is an awesome food to eat for your body, too. Its a great probiotic to help your digestive system and keep you regular! Add some fruit to it for breakfast or a healthy dessert alternative! I can't eat oats anymore, but one of my favorite things I used to eat for breakfast was vanilla yogurt with steel cut oats. Throw 2 handfuls of steel cut oats in the yogurt the night before and in the morning they're soft enough to chew, but still chewy enough to give good texture and help you feel full!

Fruit is one of the options where I have the most freedom right now. My only fruit limitations are pineapples and raspberries. Lucky for me the whole fam loves fruit, so we've been doing a lot of fruit salads! Grab 3 or 4 of your fave fruits, chop them up and let them sit for just a few minutes to really blend with each other. Yum! I know there is a temptation sometimes to sprinkle a little sugar on top- and I have the BEST solution to that- True Lime is crystallized lime juice and lime oil and it works as the perfect healthy sweetener on fruit salads. A yoga instructor I love introduced me to it, and I'm telling y'all, I am hooked! You'll never go back to regular fruit salads again!

When I want something salty I have 2 go-to options. The first is popcorn. DO NOT EAT MICROWAVED POPCORN. Y'all, for real it is super bad for you. You can trust me, or Google it, because I wont get into the details, it's just not good. When I'm indulging we'll cook our popcorn on the stove in a little bit of canola oil- its delicious. The most low-cal option is to air pop, and air popped popcorn is an awesome snack food if you're trying to cut calories and fat. The other thing I eat a lot of when I need a salty fix is chips and salsa! Now, chips and salsa from Monterrey's may be completely delicious, but those chips are super fried and greasy- so I hate to break it to you, but they're not healthy. Tortilla chips from the store are much better and there are about a thousand different options, so you can find the chip that you like best. The same goes for salsas- my husband makes amazing home made salsa- but we hardly ever have time for that any more. My current fave are the restaurant style salsas- so I feel like I'm eating what'd I'd get at a Mexican restaurant, even though I'm not. 

it's empty because I love it!

For a quick and easy (healthy) protein options I love hard boiled eggs and turkey bacon. Two hard boiled eggs, or 4 strips of turkey bacon are great choices for breakfast or even snacks throughout the day. They're also super easy to pack for lunch to take to work!

If you're trying to eat healthy one thing to do is cut the sodas. This is hard, and I'm not pretending that I don't love my diet cokes and red bull. I'll never pretend to be something I'm not. They're awful for you, though, and if you read my last post you know one of my New Year's resolutions is to drink more water. (I've already had 48oz today, by the way) A great way to ease out of the soda habit is sparkling water. I have always loved Perrier and San Pelligrino, but sometimes I need some flavor and in the past few years have come to love La Croix. They have recently added some new flavors and blends and when I head to the fridge craving a diet coke, I try and grab one of these instead. I really like the melon grapefruit and cucumber berry flavors!

What are healthy foods do you love? Are you in need of a menu makeover? As always, I'd love to hear your thoughts and questions in the comments! xo, Layne

I'm a huge fan of New Year's resolutions. I realize that they're very polarizing but for me, personally, I love them. I like setting goals, I think it's a great thing to do. I think it builds character. I also think the time span of the beginning of a year to the end is a great way to measure progress. Rome wasn't built in a day, but a year can definitely bring about significant change and improvement. It's true that often our resolutions are forgotten or forgone after a while, but that's not always the case, and I don't see why we wouldn't at least try to set goals and stick to them.

As I've reflected on what was arguably one of the toughest years of my life due to ongoing health issues I've come up with several goals that I'm resolving to meet during 2017, and I thought I'd share them with y'all!

Resolution #1: Drink more water

I am admittedly bad at drinking enough h2o. You would think as someone who is invested in health and nutrition I would be on top of this, but unfortunately I need to do much much better. I know the thousands of health benefits to staying adequately hydrated, so in this case do as I say and not as I do. My goal for this year is to really kick it up a notch with my water consumption and reap the benefits of this change.

Resolution #2: Reinstate Family Home Evenings

My church, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, suggests having a night each week in which you have spiritual growth time as a family. These evenings can be really structured with hymns, lessons, scriptures, etc or they can be relaxed time spent together as a family focusing on positive and righteous activities. When my oldest child was the age my youngest is now my husband and I were really consistent with our FHEs. However, when the baby was born we stopped... It got to be "too much" with an infant and then we rationalized that she was too young or a distraction... None of our excuses were great. Now that she's 2 I really want commit to a weekly FHE. My 5 year old has a strong testimony and very special relationship with the Lord and I know that our family nights when she was younger contributed to that. I want to give my baby the same experience. I know our family unit will be stronger because of it and the Spirit in our home will increase.

Resolution #3: Love myself more

I'm currently working on a project that deals with positive body image and self love. I look forward to sharing it with you down the road. This project was prompted by an experience I had a while back when I was able to look in the mirror at myself and really appreciate my body for the first time. This is huge for me because my entire life I've struggled with body dysmorphia and low self esteem. I'm not in the best shape of my life right now, quite the contrary... because of my health issues I've been on a very high dose of steroids on and off for months that has caused me to gain weight and be unable to lose it.  I have scars all over from my skin condition, permanent circles under my eyes from allergies and motherhood, and stretch marks from carrying two babies. But one morning I was able to look in the mirror and appreciate my body exactly as it is right now, flaws included. I wanted to hold onto that feeling and never let it go. That self love and positive thinking is fleeting, though, and I think it will be something that takes a while for me to really master and adopt as my permanent way of thinking. It's something I am really going to strive for this year. I see so much beauty in others I want to be able to say the same for myself. I also think that if I'm really able to love my body that it will be able to be it's best for me. Ultimately my body is a vessel in which I can serve the Lord. I do this by being a good wife and mother, serving my fellow man, fulfilling my church calling, sharing the Gospel, and following my passion of helping people improve their health.

Right now I'm in the car heading home from my in-laws bringing my "winter break" to an end. I'll arrive home and dive right back into normal life. Tonight I'll head to a personal training session with a client and to Kroger afterward for a grocery pick up. I'm excited for what this year has in store for me, I feel positive things in the air, and I hope the same for all of you, too! xoxo, Layne

In which I show you all my clothes...

I'm a huge fitness enthusiast which means I spend most of my time in athletic attire. You're more likely to see me at Costco in leggings and a tank with no make up and sweaty than you are in cute jeans and flats with my hair done. I wish I could rock both looks every day, but with small children the majority of my days involve me dressing for a work out and then as I'm getting the kids to and from school, down for naps, fed, etc finding time here and there as the day progresses to get my exercise done. Since it is what I wear most often I think it's pretty reasonable that I'm totally and completely obsessed with all types of athletic wear. My fitness regimen covers a wide range of activities so I have my favorite pieces depending on what I'll be doing. This includes everything from sports bras, tanks, pants, and shoes! I'm going to share some of my favorite pieces and brands with you, information about where you can get them, and why I love them! I've also asked some of my active friends to share their favorite items with you, too!

First, let me say that my go-to exercise outfit is long leggings (sometimes called tights) and a tank. I rarely wear capri-length leggings and you'll never see me in shorts. I would love the freedom and range of motion that shorts provide but I just don't feel comfortable in them right now, and that is something I'm working on. My pregnancies left me with stretch marks on my legs and I know that I shouldn't care at all, but I feel best when they're covered. Now because of my most recent skin issues I also have scars, so for the foreseeable future- it's pants for this girl!

There are a lot of options out there for athletic leggings. When I'm shopping I look for two main selling points: 1. moisture wicking, so that I'm not bogged down and nasty feeling when I sweat, and 2. thickness, so that when I am in motion or folded over the butt of the leggings are not see-through. There are so many great brands to choose from ranging from cheap and inexpensive, to high-end and high-tech...my faves fall somewhere in the lower-middle of this range! I, like all women everywhere, LOVE Target. Target has great reasonably priced options for active wear, and their C9 brand actually ranks really high on a lot of lists- most recently Good Housekeeping ranked the C9 Embrace Must Have tights as the #1 legging on the market beating out brands like Nike, Lululemon, and Under Armour! Target is great because you can often find sweet deals in the clearance racks and use the cartwheel app for an extra discount. Another little tip for teens and petite women- shop the kids section!!! If you're size 6 or smaller you should check out the kids section every now and then! You'll pay half the price and still get pretty decent product. The thickness of the leggings and fit may differ slightly, but this is still a great option if you're just looking for something inexpensive to wear for at home work outs.

C9 sports bra from Target- got on clearance for $8- no make up and Paw Patrol on in the background! My life.

XL kids leggings from Target! Great for aerobics or a run, but wouldn't wear for serious yoga or pilates practice.

                                                         

One of my favorite brands is 90 degrees, I love it for so many reasons! It's available on Amazon prime so I can get it shipped quick, its super affordable, and the quality is amazing! Most of the power flex yoga pants are around $19.99, but if you're not picky on color/print you can often find some reduced to $9.99-- which is insane for the quality! The leggings are thick and never see-through, but breath really well! Check them out here! I wear these for any and all work outs!

I wear a size small and am typically a 2/4 in street clothes. I love bright colors!!

Recently I bought my first tanks from 90 degrees and I've been really pleased with them, too. They're thin, but moisture wicking but do not have a built-in bra- so a sports bra is needed. Again, super affordable as this one that I purchased is a lovely $12.99.

Another option for quality active wear at a reasonable price is Fabletics. A warning, though, Fabletics is an auto-ship style agreement where you commit to buying each month unless you log into your account and skip a month. If you are busy, or forgetful like me- this can be dangerous and you can end up racking up charges pretty quickly. If you're responsible and can keep up with it- it's an awesome option. The products I've purchased have all be of an amazing quality, super comfortable, and have lasted a long time. 

Fabletics tank with built-in bra support

 For all my yogis out there if you're serious about your practice you may find that it's worth it to invest in a few staple pieces that are higher quality. My bestie Caitrin swears by the Lululemon power y tank, and won't do hot yoga without her Lululemon Luon leggings. One of the perks you get for the money is that Lululemon is designed to be worn and stay put. You wont find yourself in down dog having to adjust your tank top or pull up your leggings- if your practice a lot, this is huge! I do have one Lulu top that I love for this exact reason! Another highly regarded brand for yoga wear is Alo yoga, some of my favorite insta-yogis rock Alo all of the time. I've ordered an Alo tank, and I'm super excited to try it out soon!

Wunder Under luon leggings

my Lululemon top- double straps and built-in bra keep "the girls" locked in tight so there is no movement during flow and inversions

My girl London does weight training, spin classes, and conditioning. Her go-to pieces are the Nike dri-fit tank and capris. My husband is also a huge fan of the Nike dri-fit- he exclusively uses the dri-fit shirts for his work outs. If you sweat- you have GOT to get some sort of dri-fit type fabric to wick the moisture from your body- it will make your workouts SO much more comfortable!

Nike Power Epic Lux

The shoes that I wear for most of my training are the Asics Gel Noosa Tri 10- they're AWESOME! They're designed as a triathalon shoe so they can be used for running, cross training, basically most athletic activity! I pronate really severely when I run and I get great stability from these shoes without feeling like they're too thick or heavy! When I teach Zumba I wear a different shoe, a New Balance court shoe that has very little tread- this helps me move and pivot easier when I'm dancing!

my kicks

My old work out buddy Christina, who is the runner I wish I could be loves her Altra running shoes! She's had multiple knee surgeries and still manages to kick butt!

To complete my look I almost always use a headband to keep my hair out of my face, even if it's up in a pony tail. I have a large collection of headbands because I can never quite find the perfect one that wont slip, isn't too loose or too tight. Show me the perfect headband, and I'll be yours forever. It's my elusive holy grail! Now that you've seen my head to toe choices I'd love to know yours! Like I said, I'm always in the market ;) sound off in the comments with any questions or suggestions! Thanks to my friends for their input! xoxo Layne

New and exciting things???

If you read my 2016 post series then you are aware of the radical changes I've been having to make as a result of allergies that I have developed. I thought I'd share with y'all today some of the new products that I am having to use now that we know everything I am allergic to. All of it is new to me, and right now I'm not too excited about it. However, if implementing these changes produce lasting effects then that will be really dang exciting!

At our house there is very little that hasn't changed at this point regarding products we use. I have to use special soap for hands and dishes, body wash, shampoo/conditioner, nickel free razors, face wash, lotion, make up, detergent, dryer sheets, toothpaste, deodorant, hair spray--the whole nine yards. Even new pots and pans that wont leach nickel into my food. As far as my husband and the kids go they are able to use their normal soaps and shampoos, shaving stuff, and toothpaste, but things that would effect me they are stuck with. My hubby did have to give up Burts Bees because it included lanolin and I am allergic to that. I was flaring up around my mouth and it seems to have stopped since he switched to an approved lip product. He was super bummed, but totally willing to make the change, after all, he is pretty fond of kissing me!

All of our clothes are washed with Kirkland brand Free and Clear- I can't tell you how happy I am that a Costco product made it onto our "safe" list. We use 7th generation Free & Clear dish soap and all-purpose cleaner, and I'm cooking all food in our new enameled cast iron pots and pans. The pots and pans things was huge, because what's safe for me to use is not cheap, and we really weren't in the position to spend hundreds of dollars on new cookware. Lucky for me I had a birthday in October and I was able to be super boring and request Bed, Bath, and Beyond gift cards to purchase our first 2 pieces. Then recently a wonderful group of women I know blessed me with a donation and I was able to purchase a few more pieces that have made it much easier to cook for myself and my family. The silver lining is that the new cookware is nice and should last my lifetime, but it's heavy and I'm having to learn to use it. Long-term I know it is going to be a huge blessing regarding what is best for my health! It comes in fun colors, which is nice, too!

One of the biggest irks I have regarding new stuff I have to use is that I am SUPER limited in the toothpaste department. There are only 5 options for me to use and 3 of them are kid's toothpaste! Ugh! Right now I'm sharing with my girls and using Tom's of Maine in the mornings and then brushing with just baking soda at night time. There is another brand I'm going to try next that is reasonably affordable called Cleure, but it is out of stock everywhere right now. The last option is $30 for a tube, and I just don't think I can stomach spending that on toothpaste, y'all. A bummer about the kid's toothpaste is that it is flouride-free and I am cavity prone because of deep indentations and crevices in the crowns of my teeth. I am able to use mouth wash which should help with this, and also with the fact that the kid's strawberry flavoring just does not seem strong enough to help fight bad breath.

The new face products I'm using seem to be working well, so far, although eventually I think I'll need to add prescription acne prevention back into my routine as these products lean toward more natural and less chemicals. Since I work out and sweat a lot I have to really deep clean to prevent blemishes. This True Cider is from Dr. Cheryl Lee who also makes eczema treatment and products called True Lipids. It's on the pricey side, unfortunately. 

The last little bit I'll share with you is my hair. This was something that was a huge issue, because a lot of my allergic reactions were manifesting on my scalp. At their worst they were all over and I don't want to go into too many details because it's so gross, but needless to say the sores were so bad that I was losing hair in several spots. Even right now I am on a decent dose of prednisone to prevent a flare up over Christmas and I'm still experiencing extreme itching and dryness in those areas. I think long-term my scalp will be the most difficult to get under control. There is a True Cider shampoo and conditioner that is "safe" for me to use but it is very expensive and I wanted to try something different before I went that route. A friend from church introduced me to the "No Poo" movement. Yep, that's right, No-Poo, as in, no shampoo. It's really big in the crunchy communities and overall supposed to be great for your hair and scalp. Some people who go no-poo use mud or volcanic ash as a cleanser, but because nickel presents itself in the Earth's crust and therefore in soil, I thought that might not be the best option for me. No one told me I couldn't use mud, but it seemed like a safe assumption. I decided to go the baking soda and apple cider vinegar route. I know that these two things are safe for me to use and consume so they seemed like the best option for me. I did some research and as you begin the no-poo method there is supposed to be a bit of a transitioning period where you hair can look and feel like crap. Basically before the natural ingredients can begin to work wonders on your hair all of the chemicals and parabens have to be stripped from it which can take a few weeks. For me the shampoo and conditioner I had been using was already a very basic Free&Clear version that had very little chemicals and I didn't seem to have to endure this transition period. What I did have to navigate, however, was how much to use and how often. This has been a trial and error thing and is honestly still in the works. A basic mixture is 1 part baking soda to 4 parts water- this is your cleansing agent. Start on the roots and let sit for a minute then work down to the tips and rinse. The conditioner is the apple cider vinegar, again it is 1 part vinegar to 4 parts water, you can also add a few drops of essential oil to cut the vinegar smell. I'm really limited on essential oil use, because I have to try each one individually to see if it will cause me to flare up and I'm just not down with that right now. I know I'm ok with lavendar, so that is what I use. I don't think it helps much, but maybe a little. On Sunday my hubby told me I smelled like pickles. Oh well. You can make these mixtures at the beginning of the week and use them all week long, it's not necessary to use daily or even every-other day, you'll know if you need to when your hair starts feeling dirty. Other bloggers I read suggested spray bottles, but I haven't found them to be super convenient. The baking soda water is too thick and clogs the hose in the spray bottle, so I just end up dumping it onto the top of my head directly from the open spray bottle. The vinegar mixture sprays fine, however. I'm hoping that my scalp will continue to adjust to this option and that I can use it long-term, it seems like the healthiest thing for my hair and is certainly the most affordable option. 

Well, there you have it. Now you know exactly what I'm using every day to get ready. If any of you suffer from skin allergies or sensitivities I'd love to hear what works best for you! Also, if you have any questions about the products I'm using or other changes I've had to make, sound off in the comments! 

Small Acts of Kindness

This Christmas season I'm jumping on the holiday spirit bandwagon and trying to implement small acts of kindness into my daily or weekly routine. I've always thought these gestures were sweet but something felt amiss about needing a certain time of the year in order to do something nice for someone else. I can be a negative Nancy. It occurs to me now that regardless of needing a special time of the year or whether it's an anonymous or public act the end result is that something nice is done for someone else and that is pretty great, I guess.

I have a lot of friends who do this each year. One does it in remembrance of the victims of the Sandy Hook shooting. She leaves a card with the deceased individuals name and age with whatever treat she delivers. Another friend I have does her small acts of kindness in honor of an infant relative that lost his life. I also have a vivid memory of  being young and my Mom defiantly skipping down Main St in Columbia feeding other people's parking meters to be kind even though it's technically illegal.

My seminary class is going to be working together on a small-ish act of kindness in the next week and I was so impressed with their ideas. Everyone submitted 2 ideas and I picked 4 that I thought were doable then they voted on which one we would complete. Just to give you an idea some of the awesome things that they suggested but ultimately weren't chosen were: Christmas carolling, making and delivering dinner to a less fortunate church member, care packages to deployed soldiers, and free yard work. The youth I'm around never cease to amaze me. When they're given the opportunity to serve others they always step up to the plate.

I recently watched a video online about a woman who could never figure out what to get her husband for Christmas so one year she placed a blank white envelope in the tree branches that disclosed a significant act of charity she had done on his behalf. Her husband loved it and it became a tradition. Years later when her husband died she still felt like honoring his memory with a charitable offering and put her white envelope in the tree branches, then Christmas morning came and there were a total of 4 white envelopes on the tree because each of her three grown children had also, unbeknownst to one another, felt like honoring that tradition. My cold heart does warm at the thought of instilling goodness and charity in our children's hearts and minds by servings other when they can see, and eventually involving then in the process.

This year my church has pushed out a world-wide initiative to #LightTheWorld. Each day in December leading up to Christmas you can watch a short video that shows a way to serve others and #LightTheWorld this holiday season. I highly recommend checking them out- they're perfect to watch as families and are easy for children to understand!

Do you have any traditions like this? Sound off in the comments, I'd love to hear your stories and get some good ideas!

Finding Peace in the Storm

One of the awesome things that happened to me this year while I was struggling through my health issues, was that I started practicing yoga again. I previously practiced yoga pretty regularly when I lived in Columbia during college and up until Chad and I got married. Then life got in the way. In February I found a Groupon for a yoga studio in Augusta and BAM I was hooked again. I fell naturally back into my practice and it became very clear to me that it was exactly what I needed at the time. Something about being on your mat can make the rest of the world melt away.

About this time the studio where I practiced began a group program to go along with Baron Baptiste's 40 Days to a Personal Revolution. I had absolutely no idea what that would entail, but I thought it sounded like the perfect thing that I could do just for me. I desperately felt the need for something that was just my own and not having to do with my kids or family or doctors.

Y'all I highly recommend this program- whether you're a yoga novice or a pro, it was amazing. As a side note: I was pleasantly surprised as I read how often Jesus was mentioned in the book. Yoga is very spiritual, but I had not had someone make Christian ties to it before, and this struck me as I am very strong in my faith. Through this program and my yoga practice I also found the motivation to begin teaching Zumba again! Zumba is by-far the best exercise I have ever done for weight-loss and body shaping. Nothing I do burns calories faster when I need it! I have yoga for my personal time and growth. It's amazing for lengthening and toning my muscles and increasing flexibility. Then I have Zumba to really kick my ass! 

As someone who suffers from depression and anxiety I can tell you that exercise is priceless for me with regard to natural treatment of my symptoms. One of the issues I've faced with the low-nickel diet I have had to begin is that it leaves me with no energy and a lot of unhealthy food options. I've gained about 5 pounds in less than two months due to lack of exercise and not great food choices. This is something I'm determined to really figure out as I progress with these new changes in my life. I am excited to be teaching Zumba again after a hiatus during my allergy testing. I can already feel the difference in my body and mind! If you ever want to come practice with me, or dance with me I both attend and teach at Oh Yeah Yoga (formerly Dancing Dogs) in Augusta off of Fury's Ferry and I am ALWAYS looking for a work out buddy!
