I've been on this health journey for almost 10+ years. It took me 5 years to lose 50 pounds and I've managed to keep it off BUT it takes work. I love to eat but being healthy and happy is what matters most. Exercise & nutrition are definitely the key! I'll be sharing health tips, recipes, nutritional information, fitness programs, travel ideas that work for me and could help you on YOUR journey to being healthy and happy too! I'm not an expert, just a girl who likes to share!

Up too early so I opted for 30 minutes workout and 20 minutes of the lower body with my favorite super trainer ! These 5k early morning walks all summer have a hip giving me some attitude. 😝

🌱 Gut Health! 🌱
Did you know stress and anxiety play a huge role in your gut health? Apparently, I’ve been more stressed & anxious than I realized these past few years. πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ
4-5 months ago, I increased my protein intake to gain muscle mass (I had goals!), but my body didn’t respond as expected. Instead, I developed intense joint pain and more fluff than muscle gains. After extensive testing with a naturopath, I discovered my body developed intolerances to many foods I was consuming. πŸ™ƒ Milk products, egg whites, casein, pea protein, peanuts, cashews, potatoes, corn, oats, yeast, chocolate…the list goes on! πŸ€ͺ
Now, I’m on an intense anti-inflammatory diet, cutting out these foods with hopes of:
1) Healing my gut issues
2) Losing the fluff as quickly as it crept up to be able to see the muscle definition
3) Finding relief from the joint pain
It’s been challenging, especially when I’m away, but I’m committed to making serious changes over the next few weeks! πŸ™ŒπŸ»

ALL THIS! πŸ‘‡πŸ»
Life transitions are a blend of beauty and challenge, a unique space where growth and struggle coexist. It’s a journey of moving forward, sometimes stumbling, and even taking steps back. These phases are not linear; they’re a dance of progress and setbacks, each moment teaching you more about yourself.⁠
⁠.
During these times, you might discover new facets of your personality while reconnecting with parts of yourself you thought were long gone. This mix of the new and familiar can be both enlightening and confusing. Embrace this duality, as it is part of the process that shapes your journey and growth.⁠
⁠.
Feeling exhausted yet driven is a testament to your resilience. It’s okay to feel worn out by the demands of change while still finding the strength to continue. Celebrate your perseverance and recognize that every step, no matter how small, is a significant part of your transformation. Keep moving forward, trusting that each experience is guiding you toward a more complete version of yourself.

I've seen this posted a million times, but I think it’s worth sharing again ❀️

A picture is worth a thousand words ...

The picture on the left is Carrie Underwood when she was auditioning on American idol. (Her quote was "Its stupid, what chance do I have?") The picture on the right was Carrie at the CMA’s awards 12 yrs later.

How many conversations have you had, with your friends, your family, your self in the mirror that are filled with self-doubt....How many times does the conversation end there because of it? 😳

What if SHE had listened to her self-doubt and not stepped on that stage?! Where would she be now?

Many of the most inspiring people in the world were not born into greatness. They created their lives with hard work, focus, drive and dedication to a vision. But it all starts with a decision ... the decision to give it a shot! 🎯

My wish for you all is that you listen to your heart instead of your self-doubt. Be brave, and try something new ... Choose to believe in yourself, even when other people don't β€πŸ™

Make sure you're surrounding yourself with people that you don't need to try to convince to support you no matter what you're doing, or how crazy your dreams sound.

Believe in yourself. Keep going, keep going, keep going πŸ”₯πŸ’ƒπŸ”₯πŸ’ƒπŸ’ͺπŸ•Ί

Choose your hard!

Working out is hard. The weights are heavy, any type of cardio sucks and kale is a vile w**d.

Also…feeling and actually being unhealthy is hard. Not liking what you see in the mirror sucks. Having no energy to live your life to its fullest is no way to enjoy life.

Choose your hard.πŸ‘ŠπŸΌπŸ’™πŸ€˜πŸΌ
