Health Coach Diaries: Fueling Family, Flow, and Food Prep May 12th

Daily Diary: May 12th – Fueling Family, Flow, and Food Prep ☀️🥩

Today started like many others in our household: prepping lunchboxes for my husband and daughter while the world was still quiet. Once they were packed up and ready to go, I stepped outside for my morning grounding and plant watering ritual—a calming start that lets me sync up with the sun.

Breakfast ☀️

While soaking in the sunrise, I enjoyed a gut-friendly and protein-packed meal:

• Sausage Links: 150g

• Asparagus: 90g

• L. Reuteri Yogurt: 120g

• Fermented Kimchi: 2 tbsp (30g)

• Macros: 28g Protein | 6g Carbs | 33g Fat

Mid-Morning: Meal Prep & Mom Duty 🍳📦

While the kiddos played, I dove into this week's meal prep—checking off one big task before lunch even hit. Afterward, it was lunchtime for the littles and for me.

Lunch 🍗🥗

Shared lunch conversation with my son while the other half of the house was at school/work:

Dinner 🥩🌿

Closed out the day with another nourishing bowl:

Every bite today was intentional—balancing energy for family life, coaching, and circadian rhythms. I’m continually reminded that health is built in the daily flow, not the occasional highlight.
