Meal Prep Pick-Up?
Eric Belliveau • February 14, 2019

As a lot of you may know some of the coaches, myself included, have been doing a meal swap for lunches throughout the week. There are 5 of us that participate so each of us makes 5 or so meals over the weekend and on Monday we all swap so that each of us has 5 different meals to eat Monday to Friday. For roughly the last 10 weeks we have done this and it has been awesome. Not only do you get 5 different delicious home-cooked meals to eat each week but you stay consistent knowing that you have other people relying on you for food for the week.

Meal prepping is a really great habit to get into regardless, but when you are able to do it with other people it makes the experience much more fun and less of a “weekly chore”. I highly recommend/challenge anyone to try to do that same thing with a group of your friends or co-workers. Give it a shot.

Now, that brings me to the real question of what I wanted to use my blog this week as a platform for. IF something like this doesn’t sound appealing to you OR if your schedule is really just too busy that you can’t find the time to do it. Would an alternative meal “service” be of interest to you? If you had access to meals that could be ordered ahead of time for either lunch and/or dinners and picked up at a convenient location….say CPC, would THAT be something you would be interested in?

To be honest this has been something that we have been thinking of for a while but haven’t had any real viable options to work with. And no I am not spending my Sunday’s cooking up 100 meals to pass out to all of you, you guys are great but sorry, that’s not going to happen. However we may have a solution.

Please stay tuned over the next couple of weeks, we’ll have some more information to come in reference to this. In the meantime if you have questions, comment or want to let me know that this is a great idea or a stupid one, I’m all ears, let me know.

Happy Prepping!

The Meat Hangover

By Eric Belliveau • October 7, 2020
When it comes to taking meat out of your diet, some people have the idea that they will only see positive changes immediately following this choice. While those positive changes are definitely part of the deal, so is an adjustment period for your body.

We're Trying

By Eric Belliveau • September 23, 2020
We were all thrown on this crazy ride together. Emotions were running high but so were patience, empathy, inclusion, and respect. Most of us could rally behind the #WeAreInThisTogether manta. We wanted to do right by each other - donate to charities, lend a hand, check-in on one another. Do our part. As the days turn to weeks and the weeks into months these dispositions decayed rapidly. I know that this Quarantine order has been going on for a long time. I know that a great number of us do not agree on the why. I know an even greater number of us are “over it”. I am painfully aware of the difference of opinions surrounding the pandemic. It is impossible to NOT be aware of this. This leads us all to frustration, anger, resentment, and the feeling that you are not being heard. Very real and very human emotions! It is okay to feel this way. I am not only writing this from the perspective of a fellow struggling human. I do find myself struggling with everything I mentioned above. Not just daily but multiple times a day. My ability to focus has been challenged by my worry. My ability to create time for myself and focus on self-care has been derailed for fear of other things becoming more pressing. I work on this every day. I am not only writing this from the perspective of one of the business owners who were never given a playbook for this. For weeks on end I thought WTF happened to the business and how would our model need to change and remain viable, how each business owner had to either weather a period in which we were completely shut down or allowed to operate under capacity restrictions, etc. The unknown of what the timeline would bring and whether we would be able to continue our dreams or make an extremely difficult decision of not continuing. This still haunts every one of us daily. I AM very much writing this as a service provider! I am writing this as an impassioned human who genuinely loves what I do for a living. I feel incredibly lucky to be able to have built a career surrounding something I get excited about every day. I am making a stand for all of us that make their living in the service industry. To the receptionist, hostess, waiter, cook, dry cleaner, teacher, technician, barista, utility worker, automobile service technician… It is truly impossible to be inclusive of everyone here.  No one human mentioned above asked for this ‘situation’ we are in. We are sure as hell trying to provide a level of normalcy, service, care, and happiness to the lives in which we choose to serve. With added restrictions, added expense decreased capacity and the fear of being fined or shut down for doing it incorrectly, everyday.
