Holiday Guest Post at CalmHealthySexy – Juggling Real Food and Real Life

Have I got a treat for you this week.  Gaye from CalmHealthySexy and I have teamed up to help you get through the holidays.  I have a guest post over on her blog offering tips on how to keep your food real during the holidays.  This can be a really tough time of year to stick to your real food lifestyle………even for folks who have been eating real food for a while.  I’ve included some practical tips to help.  Make sure you hop over to her blog and leave a nice comment so Gaye knows you were there.

 

Real Food through the holidays

Then, come back later this week and Gaye will be guest posting here.  She is sharing great tips on how to manage the chaos that is the holidays so that we can all have a CalmHealthySexy holiday season.  I tease her all the time that I just want to be at least one of those.  If you haven’t read Gaye’s blog yet, you really should. I get so much from her blog. She really is the secret to my success.  She keeps me energized and motivated to live “the life I (you) really want.”

I can’t wait to hear from you. Leave me a comment here and I invite you to join the fun on our various social media. Just join us by using the various buttons at the top of the page. Lots more recipes, tips and fun to be had by all! If you are new to the blog……..I invite you to check out our Weekly Challenges. This is a great systematic way to to eat more of a Real Food diet and eliminate processed food. This is the approach my family took to overhauling our diet. Remember……small changes can create dramatic changes to your overall health. Good luck!

OK…………..get going!  It’s time to jump over to CalmHealthySexy.

    Great suggestions Christina. I think I really do forget about real food on the holidays. I always justify that it is just for the occasion. But it can' t be everyday. Glad I read this today.

    We must eat real food as much as we can. As the post about eating real food for your hair, I'm sure that not eating real foods have an effect on our internal organs that we just don't even realize. Thanks for sharing and linking up with Countdown in Style!

🎉 Juggling Real Food and Real Life is officiall 🎉 Juggling Real Food and Real Life is officially a teenager! 🎉

13 years ago, I hit publish on my very first blog post. Back then, my kids were still young, and I was deep in the “mom life” of packing lunches, rushing to practices, and trying to figure out how to keep real food on the table without losing my mind. 🍎🥦

Fast forward to today, and here I am—a grandmother! 👵💖 Life looks a little different now, but the heart of this community hasn’t changed. It’s still about juggling the busyness of life, making space for the people we love, and finding joy in real food (and real moments).

I never imagined that this little corner of the internet would become such a special part of my life for over a decade. Thank you for being here—whether you’ve been with me since the beginning or just found me recently. You are the reason this space is still going strong. 💕

Here’s to 13 years of memories, lessons, recipes, and laughter… and to many more ahead! 🥂

Drop me a comment and tell me how long you’ve been hanging out here—I’d love to know!
Just a little reminder for your day… you really Just a little reminder for your day… you really are amazing! 💚 Keep juggling life, real food, and all the little moments that make you, YOU.
✨Long rehearsals = lots of energy!✨ Young danc ✨Long rehearsals = lots of energy!✨
Young dancers need more than sparkly costumes and strong muscles—they need the right fuel to stay focused and energized all class long. 💃🥗

Balanced meals with carbs + protein + healthy fats are the secret to avoiding mid-class crashes and powering through those long practices. And don’t forget water—hydration is just as important as the food they eat! 💧

👉 In Part 1 of my new series on Fueling Young Dancers with Real Food, I’m sharing simple tips and snack ideas to help dancers shine at the studio.

What’s your dancer’s favorite pre-class snack? 🍎🥜
