Before having said lady I used to exercise 5 -6 days a week until about mid pregnancy. I particularly love spinning and running which was usually the bulk of my workouts, I also enjoy light yoga workouts. Since having "little miss" (the nickname my husband and I use) my workouts have consisted of some free weights and yoga at home as well as long walks, on days we can get out, in forever rainy Vancouver.<br />As for food, my real passion is baking and cooking! I love to come up with new and interesting healthy recipes. Although I haven't found a lot of time for baking up until this point, I feel like I've finally got a handle on my new mom routine and I think I can begin to reclaim some time for myself.<br /><br />As mentioned before we live in the very pedestrian friendly city of Vancouver. Because of the fantastic transit my husband and I decided we did not need a car... which has been great since miss came along. It being November and constantly rainy here I do not get out for groceries as often as I would like, I feel quite bad toting a wee one out in the rain. So for today's lunch I had to scrape together something with whatever we had left over from last weeks grocery order.<br />Thankfully we had just enough food for one of my favorite lunches!<br />Tortilla pizza mmmm<br />Brown rice wraps make a lovely thin crust like pizza with just enough crunch. Today's tortilla pizza featured chicken, shitake mushrooms and peppers with a little bit of marble cheese.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GqQa0XsGOY8/TPAh3Sp1m8I/AAAAAAAAAAM/-fjrKXLLwOA/s1600/IMG_3374.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GqQa0XsGOY8/TPAh3Sp1m8I/AAAAAAAAAAM/-fjrKXLLwOA/s320/IMG_3374.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This should give me enough energy to deal with a cranky teething miss I hope =)</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8234211445896565102-7403967785721270519?l=healthyhousewife.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Fit Mamahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12067315581735886733noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8234211445896565102.post-4531531659098139042010-11-26T10:15:00.000-08:002010-11-26T10:15:04.055-08:00Isn't beginning always the hardest... where to start.<br />I am starting Healthy Housewife to chronicle this new chapter in my life for family and friends who can't be here to share this experience with me.<br />I have always been a healthy eater/foodie and avid exerciser but am now with a new baby and a very busy husband working on his PhD it has become increasingly harder to find the time I need to get back to my fit and healthy self.<br />...more to post later, little peanut is asleep need to organize some lunch!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8234211445896565102-453153165909813904?l=healthyhousewife.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Fit Mamahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12067315581735886733noreply@blogger.com0
