Tia, you are one of the first people I watched when I started whole food plant based 2 years ago, and I have lost 61 lbs with 49 to go. I recently got diagnosed with bladder cancer, but no worries. I think the way I am eating will get me thru this. Right now, I am obsessed with english cucumbers and oasis hummus. Keep up the wonderful work. Your home looks beautiful. So happy for you and your family. You deserve this!
Thank so much for your support over the years. You for sure for this 👊🏻 I love your positive attitude! keep up the healthy eating and congrats on the weight loss.
Wishing you all the best in your knew home, looks amazing. You are so authentic and it's one of the things I love the most about you. I'm happy that you are so aware of your feelings that help you realise you were letting your pride get in the way. You are one of a kind 🙏God bless you 🙏
Thank you so much Tia. It's so nice to see you again. Yes, you are so right? I have been on the whole Plant based for 2 years. I've lost a total of 50 pounds. I was a size 17. I'm down to a size 8 and there are times that I do get tired of eating certain things. But I have to discipline myself and get back on track to be able to show my family. That if I can do it. They can do it because they tell me. Why don't you just eat this with us? And I say no. Because I have been able to show that when we set our minds to do something, we're able to conquer it and keep it that way. So I just wanna say thank you for being so open and honest Sometimes it takes a lot for someone to realize changing your lifestyle. It's for the best. I want to live to my 90s or even more. Because that runs in my family with my great-grandparents and grandparents. But thank you so much you're awesome. I love reading and following you on RU-vid. Thank you so much. Have a blessed day.
This was ver timely for me. I am just getting myself back after taking care of my mom for 2 years. She has Alzheimer’s & it took all I had to keep up! Now things are settled & I’m desperately trying to find myself again. Walking has always been the go to for some peace, but I’m having a hard time getting started. But today I will start! Thanks for the reminder that we are not alone.
I’m so sorry to hear about your mom. I bet it is a lot to help her. What an amazing daughter you are ❤. You’ll get back I know it. Sounds like you are already on your way. Just one foot in front of the other :)
So happy that you are back Tia!! Missed you! I've been on my weight loss journey, lost 23 pounds but have 50 left to go. I'm diabetic as well so this is super important to me ❤️. Glad you're back and the house is beautiful ❤
So glad your back! Missed you and your videos so much. Glad you took time to take care of yourself. I'm also grateful your renovation is complete. It's beautiful.
Yes and thank you. I’m going to mention on the next video, but I can tell you here. All the white walls are: Benjamin Moore Swiss Coffee at 75%. The bathroom is Benjamin Moore Midnight.
Welcome back Tia. I can see how that got overwhelming. I'm going thru some major stressful changes myself right now. Your new home looks fantastic..Especially the gorgeous kitchen. Loved your food share🌿🌱
You're eating "Bento Box" style!! Love it. I was born and raised in Japan (Dad is German/Mom is Japanese). So I love this way of eating. You get a fun variety and can still do the 50/50 style. Glad you're back. Congrats on surviving a remodel. And, what a beautiful job you did!
I can’t tell you how much this video meant for me today! I needed to hear your message today. I am going through a kitchen remodel as of this week. I have been struggling and your video helped me know it is OK! Thank you so much !
Congratulations to you all on your new kitchen. I’m on month 6 now and it’s so hard! It was supposed to be done by September 1, but looking like December 1st. Can’t wait to be able to cook healthy meals again and have running water at my new sink. I understand this is a 1st world problem, but life is also relative. I get how difficult it is to plan and execute healthy meals when you’re constantly cleaning and dealing with dust. It looks amazing! Enjoy and can’t wait for more content. 🎉❤
Hang in there. And yes it’s relative, I agree. I told myself so many time during this process, “hey this is how people lived a long time ago, you can do this Tia!” However, people a long time ago didn’t have the unhealthy convenient foods around like we do now. So, it’s different and hard. You got this 👊🏻
Welcome back! Love watching your videos! ❤You are so sweet, no need to apologize for taking care of yourself. Thank YOU for sharing your life with us. Love how real your videos are, and your house looks wonderful!
I feel ya with the Texas heat!! I’m in Bulverde. I did not walk once this summer!!! I walked 2-3 miles yesterday. I would do that everyday if the weather let me. Hell, I walk my dogs in the summer at the crack of dawn to beat the heat. And 20 minutes is max for all of us. lol I’m 60 now, got to find a way to get moving regularly, in the heat too. Sons at A&M,($$) but I’m saving for a treadmill.
Exactly!! Glad you are finding ways ti move, it can be challenging here in Texas, but I guess everyone had different challenges. Hope you get that treadmill soon 😉
Tia, it is absolutely beautiful. Good choice on the windows on either side of the fireplace! I would love a pantry/ laundry room like that. I hope you and your family enjoy the new space
Congrats….yes, u r a “Remodel Survivor”🎉🎉🎉🎉. Your home looks wonderful and life will return to peaceful and quiet. I (75yy) walk in my backyard also; it’s easy to get to, there is no dress code and my dh (76) knows where I am (he gets concerned and can easily check on me). As for your routines, now u can tweak them or just hit ‘reset’ if you want. As for your mental health, remodeling causes recipe boredom (especially with no sink). It’s over, enjoy your new home for the holidays. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
So good to see you! I was worried about you! It seemed like what you were trying to do could get overwhelming. I am so glad you are doing well. Please don’t apologize for taking care of yourself! Everyone needs a break from time to time. Thank you for sharing your life with us. It is so helpful to see the real you and how you are handling a challenging situation. Your home is beautiful! Thanks for sharing that as well. Best wishes to you and your family. 🤗❤️
Your remodel is Gorgeous! And your food gave me lots of ideas. I get tired of cooked vegetables and salads too sometimes, but I’ve never tried cut veggies and fruit before. I think it was Seinfeld who said, “why can’t a snack be a meal?” You’ve proved him right
Thank you so much, it’s glad to be back. My couched are from Havertys. We got them about 3 years ago. The chair is from Wayfair. I also got that years ago :)
Great to see you again! I hope you are and continue to feel well 🥰. The house looks sooo beautiful. Reno’s aren’t easy so I certainly understand where you’re coming from. Happy you’re back 🎉
I really loved this video. You actually inspired me probably a year ago when i found you to do plant based and I lost 50lbs.. however over the last few months I’ve gained 15mins back because I’ve slacked off of that, I’ve stopped walking, my almost two year old is into everything, sports for my big kids, homework for me.. everything feels so overwhelming and says that I try I don’t see the scale go down.. have you experienced weight gain since falling from your habits and if so how have you pushed past that or are you seeing progress now? Thank you!
Thank you for being here and sticking around! What you have and are experiencing is expected, so don't beat yourself up about it. Thank you for sharing :). Yes, in my previous video, I shared that I gained about 10 lbs in the past 6 months, eating out way more than I usually do and not eating as many veggies as I did/do. so I'm with you! We got this!
I've been binge watching your videos 😅 I can't imagine not having a kitchen for 6 months. 😮 It looks beautiful and so spacious. Congrats! 🎉 Good job in getting back on track. ❤
Thank you. My kids play, yes. When they started lessons I realized them needed a piano to practice so I went to FB market place and found that one for $400 🙌🏻 it was in great condition…such a steal. My husband would have never let us buy a brand new one 🤣 I love fb market place!
Welcome back!!🎉❤ so happy to see you here ! We all go through ups and downs… and you’re correct don’t be to hard on yourself … we love you! House is gorg!😍
Wow it's great to see you again and the remodel is stunning! We are planning a kitchen remodel in future as well . Did you use hardwood throughout? I am struggling with that vs luxury vinyl throughout my main level .
It looks like you’re upping your protein. Is that intentional or is it just what you ate that day? The house is to die for.really appreciate all you share.
I think that’s just what landed on my plate that day 😂 I’m not very intentional with macros, however I am aware. My plates typically are pretty balanced.
Question! An you eat this way if you dont have beans? I have tried for months and started off with small amounts but the painful wind in my tummy just doesnt go away. Years ago i was told by a dietitian that i react to insoluble and soluble fibre so i will just have to admit defeat on the beans and legume front. Love chick peas but react to those too
Sure there are lots of other things you can eat besides beans, lentils, peas, edamame, tofu, etc. I will say, it’s pretty normal to have gas for a while as your body adjusts to eating more fiber, most people react like this. But soon enough your body should adjust to the amount of fiber (that it should be getting), and all is well. Don’t get me wrong, if I go days with no beans and then eat them 😳😂 but that’s expected.
HI there - sorry for the delay. It is a hydroviv! www.hydroviv.com/?nbt=nb%3Aadwords%3Ax%3A16581826231%3A%3A&nb_adtype=&nb_kwd=&nb_ti=&nb_mi=&nb_pc=&nb_pi=&nb_ppi=&nb_placement=&nb_si={sourceid}&nb_li_ms=&nb_lp_ms=&nb_fii=&nb_ap=&nb_mt=&hsa_net=adwords&hsa_mt=&hsa_tgt=&hsa_grp=&hsa_acc=6208013034&hsa_kw=&hsa_ad=&hsa_src=x&hsa_cam=16581826231&hsa_ver=3&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiA35urBhDCARIsAOU7Qwm1nll7rXq-zJl9U2gLGzXLeh95ydYfflU5hWNZQlU2yL3WotHdaOYaAsapEALw_wcB
So good to see you again!! Congratulations on the completion of all the work. Looking forward to more videos 🥰 One small thing for your consideration- when you walk and video tape, the screen moves a lot and makes me motion sick, so I can only listen 🤷🏻♀️
I know, I'm sorry - it's because of the iPhone, it's all I have right now. it's this, or no video...so thank you for sticking around and listening. you rock!
