How I Keep My Guy Healthy

June 13, 2020

Since I have been home these last couple of months, I’ve been able to reprioritize my life. I’ve been doing more beneficial things for myself, such as:

Self Care Practices
Creating soothing and comforting spaces in and around my home
Writing more
Eating and expanding my healthy food choices to keep David’s and my immune system strong.

David’s day usually starts at 1 am and he works 12-14 hours a day.

Before our paths crossed he would survive on coffee and sunflower seeds until dinner…

Not anymore!!

Not on my watch!

So now, every Sunday (usually) I dedicate a couple hours to washing, prepping and cutting up vegetables

making breakfast oats

cold brewing green tea with fresh ginger,

and making a plan for his well rounded lunch.

I usually try to incorporate 3-4 servings of vegetables, 1 or 2 fruits, a grain (oats), a protein and a healthy fat.

Chicken, turkey and avocado, chicken or tuna salad, nuts or peanut butter with his celery are my usual go-tos for the protein and healthy fats.

The green tea provides him with beneficial antioxidants.

All of that sums up to be vitamin and nutrient rich deliciousness with sustainability to get him through his day.

And he loves me for it, because he feels amazing!

Now before you go off to accuse me of being a 1950’s housewife, where a woman’s place is barefoot and in the kitchen…

I can almost hear the screams of the equal rights and girl power activists now…I do it because I want to. Not because it’s expected of me or I have to.

It feels good to take care of and keep my guy healthy in that way. He takes care of me in so many ways. We take care of each other. Healthy bodies, healthy minds and a healthy relationship. It doesn’t get much better than that!

In love and light and care for our loved ones!

I love, love, love your energy!!! And I am inspired to try this for my husband. I do the food prep thing for myself often but my husband and kids are not always on board with the healthy food/healthy snacks adventures. Any suggestions for motivation in that area?

  Thank you! Hmmm…motivation..I think with kids (depending on the age) if you can make it fun for them, helps. Raisins on peanut butter and celery are “ants on a log”. You could use toothpicks to make designs or characters out of fruit and veggie slices..etc. That probably won’t work for a teenager however. HAHA. If they are the type to enjoy food prepping with you or coming up with their own unique ideas or recipes might work. Just the fact that they are ready and available is the part that works for my guy. He probably wouldn’t eat so well if I didn’t do this for him.
