I needed this.

Being a woman in today’s society is so incredibly difficult. The constant fear of not being “pretty” enough, “skinny” enough or just being judged period — it’s exhausting.

I’m trying my best to get those useless words out of my everyday vocabulary because I have new priorities. I ONLY want to focus on being 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙩𝙝𝙮, 𝙝𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙮 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙎𝙏𝙍𝙊𝙉𝙂.

For those who have struggled with body image, know that you’re not alone. I’ve struggled for my entire life and it takes time to heal. Be proud of what you’ve got and stop wasting precious time wishing you were unflawed. Our bodies are amazing and something that we should be grateful for. 💛

It’s almost spring time and that means FRESH food is back in style

I don’t know about you, but fresh veggies always taste better when the suns out. ☀️

So today I decided to make a lentil salad from 🤩 I added a few additional ingredients in mine based on what I had in the house but man, it was SO GOOOOD. Definitely will be making this again.

SALAD TIME 🥗

How beautiful is this salad? 😍 I mean I legit just ate the entire thing for breakfast and I’m not even ashamed.

I’ve been on a huge salad kick lately because I fuel my body with veggies (I struggle with eating them) and it keeps me full through most of the day.

PRO TIP: I usually drizzle very little dressing on the top of my salads. If I ever wanna add more, I usually dip my fork into the dressing to ensure that I’m not over indulging and wasting points. 😉

⭐️ HAPPY NEW YEAR! ⭐️

Every year I create my new years resolutions and I normally just keep them in my head, but I came across .fitfluencer post the other day regarding a “Vision Board”. Well, I absolutely LOVED the idea and decided to give it a shot.

Let’s be real, 2020 was a rough year and I did not meet a single goal of mine from the previous year. So instead of creating these crazy goals that I probably wouldn’t achieve in 2021, I thought that I needed to cut myself some slack for surviving this past year and create goals that are realistic and achieveable. In other words, I reallllly don’t wanna set myself up for failure.

2021 Goals
READ MORE 📖
I’ve never been much of a reader, I struggle with finding a genre that I thoroughly enjoy. Looking for suggestions and any other ways to help me read more.

GET FIT 🏃🏼‍♀️
Ryan and I are getting our delivered in early February and I’m so dang excited!!!! We decided to go with the Tread+ and I’m more determined than ever to get my ass in shape.

SMALL BUSINESS 🕯
Some of you may know, but I’ve been in the process of launching my small candle business called — Due to the pandemic, I had to postpone my official launch so I’m going to focus a ton of time into creating this dream of mine for the new year.

INSTA CONTENT 📸
It’s easy for me to get overwhelmed on social media. I can go 5 days in a row with posting great content, but then I’ll take 2 weeks off because it’s exhausting. There is so much behind the scenes work that goes into posting, but you all deserve more from me and I’m excited to share some new ideas!

HEALTHY EATING 🥗
Quarantine, quarantine, quarantine — need I say more? My biggest goal is to get back on track. I want to lose 60+ lbs this year…. I know this is a huge number, but I’ve done it before so I know that I’m capable of this.

💛 4SP STARBUCKS DRINK 💛

Less Sugar. Still photogenic. 📸|| rg:

As we are approaching the new year, I wanted to remind you to love yourself a little extra right now.

I came across recently and absolutely love her posts 💓 It’s just want I need in times like this - motivation, inspiration, empowerment and self love.

LOW POINT SNACK (2sp)

Shrimp cocktails are one of my favorite, healthy, low point snacks. I always have them in my house because you can literally have 39 fresh shrimp for only (1sp) 🤯

I like to pair mine with some fresh squeezed lemon and a tiny bit of cocktail sauce for an additional (2sp)

Also, for any of you Costco lovers - I get their large shrimp cocktail package and it’s SO good & fresh!

Pull Apart Pie 🥧

Can’t decide if you want Apple, Blueberry or Cherry Pie???? Why not have them all in one!!! 😉

Take (2) pre-made Pillsbury pie crust and use a champagne flute (or something similar in size) to make the circles.

Add some egg wash onto each piece and then place your pre-made pie filling within each circle — I used Duncan Hines but any brand works!

Pinch the sides and place onto your dish. I sprayed my pan prior with some baking spray.

Bake at 400° for 25-35 minutes. ENJOY 🥰

WAFFLE BAR 🧇

Thanks to my awesome sister, Nicole, for whipping up the most delicious waffles for our first ever gingerbread house making! ❤️

Chubby hands & my little helper for today. 💚

Thanks to Protein Milk Shake for sending me a packet of one of their best selling protein powders — CUPCAKE BATTER 😍

⭐️ 2 tbsp coconut oil or butter
⭐️ 2 cups Sugar Free Marshmallows

Meatloaf Monday ft. Skinnytaste 🤩

Tonight I made Gina’s Bacon Topped Petite Turkey Meatloaf with BBQ Sauce — it was SO dang good.

NSV: I removed the top bun and didn’t eat the entire side of potatoes!!!!!! 🤩

So first off, this is an egg sandwich on steroids. Scratch that, a very delicious egg sandwich on steroids LOL. 🤤

But when the waitress put it down, I realized that I could enjoy the entire meal without killing my daily/weekly points. So I decided to remove the top bun and only have a few potatoes. Normally I’d eat EVERYTHING on the plate (full or not), so today I’m proud of myself. ☺️

What’s a for you????
