A nutritionist’s voyage through life

Till Next Year Santa

January 8th, 2009 Filed under: Holidays by admin

I am a young mother of two active little boys. Oh, I forgot, Justin is my son and the other one is my husband, Mark. My husband’s favorite time of the year is the holidays simply because he has loved snow and he was very excited to see if our son would enjoy it as much as he does. Justin took to it like a fish to water.

Spending the last two months preparing for the holidays, I was glad that my work as a nutritionist gives me some time to handle all the things that need to be bought and made. Mark loves home cooked meals since his mother also cooked their Christmas Eve feast. Our Justin would have to eat food for his age so I am making him a special meal for that time.

After the blur that was the Christmas morning gift opening and the family reunions during New Year’s Eve, we finally got around to putting the tree down. Mark did this with an almost melancholic mood, one which now our Justin mirrors. I promised them both that Santa would surely come back next year. Justin beamed and Mark hugged me. So you see the holidays would always be a big thing in out home.

But what they don’t say is how hard it can be to the women who have to put everything together. I was tired for so many nights wrapping gifts, keeping on a budget and making the food.

So you would have to forgive me if I dread next year’s holidays.

What I Want For Christmas

December 18th, 2008 Filed under: Holidays by admin

Christmas is the holiday that my husband and my son always look forward to. It is the time where we can visit family since my husband and I are so busy with our respective works. We seldom get the time to see our families. Much as we are excited seeing our families again, Christmas is an exciting time to get presents for your family as well as to receive one from them too.  Last year, I got a new iMac from Mark. It was so lovely and it really helps me get my research easier as a nutritionist. But this season, what I want for Christmas is a new 3G iPhone. I would be lovely to get this new phone. It was difficult for me to get one when it was launch last July 17, 2008. Considering the hitches that might occur for the first batch of 3G iPhone because it did happen in the first iphone it is wiser to wait a little before getting one. So now I would prefer this next batch of 3G iphone since I believe it is already free for the troubleshooting. And it would be a good time to have this new item now this Christmas. Fashion really gets me and sometime, it will not here to indulge yourself a little especially if there is an occasion to have one or that let you get one. So for this holiday, it is something that I am dying to have.

Christmas Stress

December 8th, 2008 Filed under: Holidays by admin

Being a mother of a bouncing baby boy in his toddler years, a wife to a busy businessman while doing clinic hours trying to convince women that they can enjoy their holiday feasts without having to break their diet is very stressful. The problem with the yuletide season is that we often think that this is the time we can go on a break on our regular eating habits. If you are on a diet throughout the year and you stop doing that during the holiday then it is like taking one step forward then taking two back.

In my case, I love to cook so it was hard for me to tell my husband and my son to stop eating when they are already full. So what I opted to do is to keep the food on our table as healthy and as balanced as I possibly can.

So this Christmas I plan to make my table as colorful as possible. It is after all the best way to get all the antioxidants if you get all the five colors into the food that you eat. Red, orange, yellow, green and blue are abundant in my salad, which my relatives love. Putting all organic on my table can be more costly than necessary. But at least my family and friends won’t feel guilty when they try the dessert cakes that I would make.

So why not try doing the same thing. It might take more time that before but once you hear the praises all the Christmas stress you have accumulated would fade with your family’s smile.
