Who is settled into working from home right now? ⁠
⁠
I know I am still trying to get the hang of a true schedule. ⁠
⁠
It feels like I am on a true staycation but have to still work at the same time. ⁠
⁠
Not being able to go outside for too long to be potentially exposed to too many people. ⁠
⁠
Not being able to jump in the car and go to the mall, movies or let alone your doctor appointments in person. ⁠
⁠
Times have changed. ⁠
⁠
People are changing. ⁠
⁠
Businesses are adapting. ⁠
⁠
When I think about everyone, the individuals that come to mind first, to be honest, are my patients who are trying to conceive. ⁠
⁠
Couples who were just about to go into IVF retrieval, or who were waiting for their next cycle to transfer an embryo in the hopes to be pregnant next month, or waiting for their first IUI ever. ⁠
⁠
But everything has come to a FULL STOP. ⁠
⁠
I feel for you. ⁠
⁠
I am thinking of you. ⁠
⁠
I am sending you positive thoughts every single day. ⁠
⁠
This is a time to reflect. To connect in ways you may have never connected before. Give yourself time to feel all the emotions. Be sad, angry, annoyed, frustrated, or worried. ⁠
⁠
But also - use this time to connect with your partner. ⁠
⁠
We have been watching TV, laughing, telling stories, reminiscing of old times, dancing, cooking, reading beside each other in bed and sitting in each other’s presence. ⁠
⁠
There is no other person I would rather spend time in isolation with. We don’t always get to spend this much time together, so we are using this opportunity to connect with each other. ⁠
⁠
Because right now all we need is connection. ⁠

Have you been thrown off your typical diet recently? I know I have a little bit and have been more mindful of this in shifting back to my regular eating habits. During times of stress we can opt to eat more carbohydrates than we typically would so here are ⁣⁠
⁣⁠
𝟯 𝘁𝗶𝗽𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘆 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝘆 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗿 𝗣𝗖𝗢𝗦 𝗱𝗶𝗲𝘁 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝘄:⁣⁠
⁣⁠
1️⃣Meal plan - continue meal planning as if nothing has changed. Ensure your meals are mostly veggies, contain a source of protein, good healthy fats, and a few carbohydrates. This will ensure your blood sugar remains balanced throughout the day. ⁣⁠
⁣⁠
2️⃣Schedule eating times - just like you would at work, schedule time in your day to eat. This will ensure you are not snacking throughout the day and are eating what you have set out. Have 3 big meals, this will keep you full and prevent you from snacking in between meals. ⁣⁠
⁣⁠
3️⃣Consider grocery pick up, right now President Choice grocery stores, are offering free grocery pick up. It is simple and easy and minimizes your chance of contact with others. ⁣⁠
⁣⁠
I hope you are managing to stay on track with your healthy eating habits during this time... and if not, it's also okay! Give yourself space during this time and know things will pass and you will get back on track. ⁠
⁣⁠
If you are struggling at all, feel free to DM me or drop a comment below :) ⁣⁠

I haven't baked in a long, long time so I thought now is the best time to start baking with all this time I have! ⁠
. ⁠
These muffins are so delicious a friend shared it with me and I couldn't resist. I had to make them the next day! ⁠
. ⁠
They are almond flour muffins with nuts and went all out and I added dairy-free chocolate chips even though blueberries would have been the better choice ;) ⁠
. ⁠
Check out the recipe on my blog or the website Life made Sweeter! ⁠
. ⁠
Enjoy! ⁠

I hope everyone is staying healthy and coping well. ⁠
. ⁠
I have been doing lots of relaxing, cooking, eating, reading, watching TV, cleaning out my closet and exercising! ⁠
. ⁠
During the last week, I have also felt a variety of different emotions, such as feeling overwhelmed, anxious, worried, calm, relaxed, stressed, confused, etc. ⁠
. ⁠
It has felt like a whirlwind of emotions...Wishing life would go back to normal but also seeing how this event might help us slow down as a society. ⁠
.⁠
One positive is that I have been able to accomplish a few things I have been meaning to get this article completed called, "How to know if your body is stressed even though you don’t feel ‘stressed’ ⁠
. ⁠
Check it out on my blog! Link is in my bio. ⁠
