Healthy Deconstructed

Celebrate: After a year of working on resolving an unintentional significant weight loss, my mother is slightly above her "normal" weight. She may not love it but she is lucky to have a dietitian preparing her meals.

I tried a new restaurant this week. Caramelized onions and mushrooms 🍄 really elevate a burger. #burger #cafesonder #eatinginsantafe #rosatherd #fortheloveoffood #awlsloss https://www.instagram.com/healthydeconstructed.rosatherd/p/BuIW5ullQAq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=jof6mol2s6al

My big porcelain cup is being bisque fired. Today I was able to salvage the farmhouse crock by evening out the walls. I practiced throwing off the hump and I’m feeling exhausted from a productive day in the studio. I earned a hot soak in the tub. #pottery #creating #throwclay #porcelain #newmug https://www.instagram.com/healthydeconstructed.rosatherd/p/BuIV18ZFyQe/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1plc8wui1sjcc

This is my first try making farmhouse style pottery. This one might not make the cut but I’m so happy with this first try. I decided to test out a serrated triangle on the exterior. #pottery #farmhousepottery #pecosporcelain #creating https://www.instagram.com/healthydeconstructed.rosatherd/p/Bt__PVKFIjI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=f4vak20brnry

Throwing some Rainey lake off the hump. It’s my third attempt to throw off the hump. I’m enjoying trying new techniques with clay. #throwclay #ceramics #wheelpottery #pottery https://www.instagram.com/healthydeconstructed.rosatherd/p/Bt41zorldPH/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=123dc2xcskhc9

It’s Public Health Day at the NM Legislature. #publichealth #getinvolved rosa there’s #health #politics #healthierNM #nutrition https://www.instagram.com/healthydeconstructed.rosatherd/p/Bt3saQRl9rp/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ebj95ptrpbze

We don’t celebrate a conventional Valentines Day in our household. For me it is representative of the day a practical joke helped my parents start to date as young high schoolers in Puerto Rico. But it is a great day to remind ourselves to treat ourselves (and those around us) with love. Self- care through a healthful diet and physical activity is one example of how we engage in self- care. Many of my clients have great ideas of all the many ways in which they could improve in self- care. Where I come in is in helping them prioritize and problem solve in order to make progress. Progress- not perfection. https://www.instagram.com/healthydeconstructed.rosatherd/p/Bt3BA5pFSyf/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1x3ikh6e8bj2y

Chilly days are an opportunity to pull out some cold weather fashion. This NM inspired wrap was a gift from a special friend. I’m also loving my shorter bangs! #rosatherd #winterfashion #NMskarves #lifeinNM #lifeinSantaFe #landofenchantment https://www.instagram.com/healthydeconstructed.rosatherd/p/Bt0x_jcln2p/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=era36yjxx7vj

Fresh from the oven - sun dried tomato 🍅 kalamata olive bread 🥖. I long for the fresh deliciousness of a garden veggie and herb based tapenade. Until then I’m enjoying the fresh baked goodness of homemade bread. I love that mY brother has started making homemade bread for his family. #homemadebread #rosatherd #hearth&home #freshfromtheoven #williamssonoma https://www.instagram.com/healthydeconstructed.rosatherd/p/Btwu3BkFeB4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1sy1g17h31kp0

I have another box ready for the donation center. This marks a step closer to setting up the “storage room” as an art studio/brewing room. And before anyone asks- no, I have not tackled my closet. Clothing is on my list of rewards for returning to tri readiness. #mariekondo #rosatherd #declutter #lettinggo #takingoutthetrash #keepwhatyoulove https://www.instagram.com/healthydeconstructed.rosatherd/p/BtwuS65Fxom/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1hb3xmx5ek96b

I look forward to simply nutritious lazy breakfasts on the weekend. Poached eggs are so delicious. I do miss having chickens 🐓 for fresh eggs. As we enjoy breakfast, I wait for the stovetop expression maker to create a little heaven. #rosatherd #poachedeggs #saturdays #breakfasts https://www.instagram.com/p/Btqr42fFkOY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=doy6xzb8xh85

I can’t believe that 8 years have passed since I visited the Smithsonian in order to see the kitchen of Julia Child. I’ve been to the Smithsonian many times and there is always more to learn and discover.

Another series of pottery courses. I’ve already learned a few insider secrets. #pottery #sfcc #rosatherd #creativespaces https://www.instagram.com/p/Bthj5fEFfk2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1qj6iqb4co5rk

Whole wheat oat nut breads 🌾 - one for home and one to give away. I use molasses as the sweetener for a deeper flavor that goes great with the whole wheat flour. This bread makes a great breakfast. I love it toasted and topped with crunchy peanut butter and fresh sliced banana. #breakfast #wholegrains #rosatherd #homebaking #wwbread #oatnutbread #sundayfoodprep https://www.instagram.com/p/BtcYOs9F9Aj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1mmrct3e3xgb1
