Because WHY would you serve me a salad in a METAL bowl with a METAL fork?! 😭🤣 The sound alone is enough to send me into a full-blown sensory nightmare!

I’m not officially diagnosed with ADHD or autism (AuDHD), but I’ve been noticing more and more sensory sensitivities and little quirks about myself lately that have me seriously wondering. 🤪

The sound of a metal fork scraping against a dinner plate is already bad enough… but a metal fork scraping against a METAL BOWL?! Absolutely NOT. Straight to jail. 🚩🤣

I swear I can feel that sound in my entire body. 😵‍💫

So now I need to know… is this a neurodivergent sensory sensitivity thing, or does everyone hate this sound as much as I do?! PLEASE tell me I’m not alone! 😂👇

Normally, I’m not one to share my sweets, but after a big dinner, I figured splitting a dessert with my hubby would be cute and romantic. 🥰
Well, that lasted about 2 seconds. 🤣

Because why was this man taking bites twice the size of mine?! EXCUSE ME, SIR?! We agreed to SHARE, not for you to eat 75% of it! 💀😂

So naturally, I had to take matters into my own hands and make sure we were getting equal portions. Marriage is all about compromise, right?! 😜

Please tell me we’re not the only married couple who turns sharing dessert on date night into a full-blown competition?! 🤣
Be honest… are you a dessert sharer, or is it EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF?! 🍰

Anyone else living with POTS, inappropriate sinus tachycardia (IST), or another chronic illness know the struggle?! 🙋🏼‍♀️

As someone navigating dysautonomia and multiple chronic illnesses, staying hydrated and keeping up with my electrolytes is super important! The only problem?! I’m terrible at drinking plain water. 😅

And don’t even get me started on flavored electrolyte powders. I’m just not a fan! 🙃

That’s why I’ve been loving Buoy electrolyte drops! 💧 Unlike traditional electrolyte drink mixes, these unflavored hydration drops can be added to practically ANY beverage without significantly changing the taste!

So naturally, every time I crack open an ice-cold Diet Coke, I add some electrolyte drops to it too. 🤣🥤

Because who says you can’t enjoy your favorite drinks AND get some extra electrolytes in at the same time?! 😉

And if you’re wondering about my diagnosis, one doctor told me I have inappropriate sinus tachycardia (IST), while another suspects POTS. So at this point, your guess is as good as mine! 🤪 Welcome to life with chronic illness!

But in the meantime, I’m all about finding little chronic illness hacks that make everyday life a bit easier! ❤️

My Honest Review of Personal Trainer Foods

A few weeks ago, I shared all about Personal Trainer Foods. And today I wanted to share with you all my honest review of Personal Trainer Foods since I just completed the program. I’ve gotta say, I am honestly FLOORED by the results.

I really didn’t think I would lose much weight. Considering the fact that I have a very hard time losing weight. I usually stay around the same size all the time no matter what I do.

So seeing the progress really encouraged me and I can’t wait to share all my results and thoughts with you below!

My Honest Review of Personal Trainer Foods

I was gifted a two week subscription of Personal Trainer Foods, but all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Food Review

So I’m sure you guys want to know if the food actually tasted good or not. And the answer is yes! I was honestly so skeptical about it.

Because just looking at the bag of frozen food, I wasn’t too impressed. The veggies looked a little plain and I thought they would be disgusting.

But, thankfully they give you a bottle of garlic butter sauce to spruce them up with. And that tasted amazing! I also added in some salt and pepper and that made them taste great as well.

Breakfast

I think my favorite meal from the Personal Trainer Foods program would be their breakfast options. They were honestly very filling and tasted great as well. I love how they had a lot of omelet options to choose from.

Breakfast Food
Breakfast Food
Personal Trainer Food Breakfast

Omelets are my favorite breakfast food and I was surprised that you could pretty much have them every morning if you wanted to on this program. Their maple sausage was also very tasty as well!

Lunch

I loved being able to have these meals for lunch too. They are very quick and easy to heat up and serve. I don’t have a lot of time when I am working during the week for lunch.

Lunch Foods
Lunch Foods

I am a full time dental hygienist and some days we don’t even take a lunch break. So I always need something quick and easy to heat up.

And these definitely do the trick. They also keep me full and satisfied as well which is always something I am looking for in a lunch too!

Dinner

Again, I loved having these for dinner because of the convenience of them. I didn’t have to worry about what I was going to make when I got off work.

I was able to just throw them into the microwave and have a nice and healthy meal!

Dinner
Dinner

However, I will say that sometimes I didn’t feel as though just the meat and veggies were enough for me for dinner.

If I just ate that alone, I was still kinda hungry after a few hours. So I ended up adding in some brown rice/quinoa mixes to my dinners along with the meat and veggies.

And that definitely helped keep me satisfied.

Snacks

I did also continue to eat snacks during the program as well. But I tried to make sure they were healthy and nothing overly indulgent.

I ate a lot of nuts, fruits, and veggies with hummus as snacks. I would also occasionally throw in a fruit smoothie from time to time as well.

I still pretty much ate all the snacks that I enjoyed before, but also still lost weight while on this program.

We were already eating a healthier diet before I started this program, so that helped since I didn’t have a lot of bad foods in the house to tempt me.

Was Personal Trainer Worth it for me?

I will say that I think this meal delivery service was 100% worth it for me. When I started this, I weighed 145.2 pounds

And after I finished the program I weighed 138 pounds. So I lost over 7 pounds in just two short weeks.

Review of Personal Trainer
Pin for later!

I’ve never been able to lose weight that quickly before so it definitely has something to say about the foods you put in your body!

I feel much better and I am going to continue eating right and exercise more this year to keep this up. I don’t want to go back to where I was.

So I am very thankful to Personal Trainer Foods and being able to partner up and try it out this year! I loved it!

    Thanks for your honest review of the program and I’m happy that you found you enjoyed it. I wonder how sustainable it would be in the long run – particularly as 7 lbs in 2 weeks is not considered to be a healthy weight loss.

    At first, I didn’t realize that “Personal Trainer Foods” was the name of the product/ company. I thought that you were just going to eat ‘like’ personal trainers do. After reading your post, I can definitely appreciate the appeal of a quick grab and go meal. It’s so nice to NOT have to decide what to cook and then plan ahead to make sure you have everything you need to make it. The breakfast items looked most appealing to me. I have texture issues, so I’m not sure putting my proteins and veggies would work for me with the lunch/ dinner options. It’s great that the overall program worked for you and that you’re feeling better. I wish you well on your health journey.

    I hadn’t heard of the Personal Trainer food delivery service before. It’s great you were able to see immediate results. I’m on the Weight Watchers app (free with my health insurance plan) and I do like the way it makes me think about the food I put into my body. This program you reviewed seems to be similar in that way. Congrats on your successful experience!

Listen, y’all. I have a HUGE sweet tooth, and when Listen, y’all. I have a HUGE sweet tooth, and when it comes to dessert, I do NOT play around! 😂 

Normally, I’m not one to share my sweets, but after a big dinner, I figured splitting a dessert with my hubby would be cute and romantic. 🥰
Well, that lasted about 2 seconds. 🤣

Because why was this man taking bites twice the size of mine?! EXCUSE ME, SIR?! We agreed to SHARE, not for you to eat 75% of it! 💀😂

So naturally, I had to take matters into my own hands and make sure we were getting equal portions. Marriage is all about compromise, right?! 😜

Please tell me we’re not the only married couple who turns sharing dessert on date night into a full-blown competition?! 🤣
Be honest… are you a dessert sharer, or is it EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF?! 🍰

🎄 PSA: Don’t skip this step when putting up your C 🎄 PSA: Don’t skip this step when putting up your Christmas tree! 👀

If you want your Christmas tree to look fuller, fluffier, and more expensive, this simple Christmas decorating hack makes ALL the difference! 🙌🏻

Seriously, just look at the difference between a fluffed Christmas tree and one that hasn’t been fluffed yet! 😍 Taking the time to spread out and shape each branch helps fill in those awkward gaps and makes even an artificial Christmas tree look so much fuller BEFORE you add a single ornament!

And trust me, as someone who puts up multiple Christmas trees every year, I know how tedious this step can be. 🤣 Especially when you’re dealing with flocked Christmas trees and end up with fake snow ALL over your house! 🙃

But I promise, those extra few minutes of fluffing are SO worth it for that beautiful, full Christmas tree look! 🎄

So tell me, are you team fluff every single branch or team throw some ornaments on and call it a day?! 🤣👇🏻

📌 Save this Christmas tree decorating tip for when you start putting up your holiday decor!

POV: You have dysautonomia and need to stay hydrat POV: You have dysautonomia and need to stay hydrated… but you absolutely HATE drinking water. 🤣💦

Anyone else living with POTS, inappropriate sinus tachycardia (IST), or another chronic illness know the struggle?! 🙋🏼‍♀️

As someone navigating dysautonomia and multiple chronic illnesses, staying hydrated and keeping up with my electrolytes is super important! The only problem?! I’m terrible at drinking plain water. 😅

And don’t even get me started on flavored electrolyte powders. I’m just not a fan! 🙃

That’s why I’ve been loving Buoy electrolyte drops! 💧 Unlike traditional electrolyte drink mixes, these unflavored hydration drops can be added to practically ANY beverage without significantly changing the taste!

So naturally, every time I crack open an ice-cold Diet Coke, I add some electrolyte drops to it too. 🤣🥤

Because who says you can’t enjoy your favorite drinks AND get some extra electrolytes in at the same time?! 😉

And if you’re wondering about my diagnosis, one doctor told me I have inappropriate sinus tachycardia (IST), while another suspects POTS. So at this point, your guess is as good as mine! 🤪 Welcome to life with chronic illness!

But in the meantime, I’m all about finding little chronic illness hacks that make everyday life a bit easier! ❤️

💬 COMMENT “SHOP” below and I’ll send you the link to try these electrolyte drops for yourself!

And tell me… are you a water lover or a fellow water hater like me?! 😂
