My Life Before Nourish
I have to admit the lifestyle I carried before I started prepping for the Nourish program wasn’t something to be proud of. I was truly ignorant of so many nutritional facts; in general, I knew I wasn’t the best eater, but it wasn’t until I read through Danielle’s online resources and blog posts that I realized I was a terrible eater. In fact, as I’m telling my husband Mark about what I learned, I realized our dog was the best eater in the house! (We have her on organic kibble.) That’s terrible. I mean, our dog deserves the best, but so do my husband, toddler, and I! We definitely don’t eat the greens we should, and nutrition labels basically go unnoticed when I grocery shop. That’s bad. We needed to change. I am the executive chef at home, so I felt it was my responsibility to take control of what goes into my family’s bodies, and ensure they’re getting the proper nutrition they need to live fuller and healthier lives. So, a week ago today, we started our journey for a more nourishing life.Prepping for Nourish
If you’re curious as to how Danielle’s Nourish program works, here’s a glimpse: she immediately subscribes you to her daily inspirational/resourceful emails, invites you to her private Facebook group, and gives you access to an amazing portal of information including cookbooks, nutrition guides, journals, and tons more. One of the first things Danielle encourages everyone to do is to “detox their kitchen.” This happens by purging everything that’s not nourishing. I hesitated for a bit, and just threw away a couple sugary treats I had sitting on the kitchen counter for a while. Later in the week, after doing my family’s meal planning, I took to shopping at local health food stores. In all honesty, there was a good part of the shopping list I had to ask store clerks for help in finding! Tahini, tamari, kimchi, flax seed oil. I went earlier in the day when there wasn’t a rush, and was able to take my time perusing the aisles, reading the labels, and learning more about what I needed to look for. After we got all we needed (my one-year old was with me), I stocked the fridge. I can guarantee that our fridge had never been greener in our lives!
