It’s just something about all black 😍

I lasted what seems .5 seconds in the heels 😅 Am I the only one who isn’t a big heels girlie?

I heard a quote the other day that changed my entire being…👀⁣
⁣
“𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙙𝙤𝙣’𝙩 𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙙 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙛; 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙗𝙪𝙞𝙡𝙙 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙛.” ⁣
⁣
Honestly, although I’ve been finding 𝘢𝘯𝘥 building, I look back over the past few years and realized I’ve been doing a lot of building. ⁣
⁣
A lot of healing. Changing. Unlearning. Relearning. Letting go. Building UP. Affirming myself. 🌻⁣
⁣
“𝘍𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨” makes you feel like you’re not living up to this invisible potential, standard, or expectation. ⁣

𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗼𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱. ✨⁣

Y’all know my motto: Take it one day at a time. Don’t give up on yourself. You’ve got this. 🩷

If you’re over 35 and feel like your metabolism gave up on you… this is for you 👇🏽

10/21/2025

Here are the top 3 things to help you lose body fat ✅

1. You 👏🏽 must 👏🏽 eat 👏🏽 in 👏🏽 a 👏🏽 calorie 👏🏽 deficit 👏🏽 If you have more than 15lbs to lose, there is no way around this‼️ And if you are eating healthy but still not losing weight? This means you’re not in a calorie deficit. Google “calorie deficit calculator” to find yours.

2. Strength train at least 3 days per week. Stop waiting until you lose weight first before you incorporate weights. You’re just making the process longer. Lifting weights won’t make you bulky. It will actually increase your metabolism, help you burn more calories overall, and maintain muscle mass. 🏋🏽‍♀️

3. Eat enough protein and prioritize your macros! 🍖 If you’re extremely hungry within your calorie deficit all the time (slight hunger is normal) you’re most likely not eating enough protein (or you’re eating too few calories, but I’ll save this for another post). Protein doesn’t only help you build/retain muscle, but it keeps you fuller between meals. Extreme hunger will prevent you from staying on track long term.

When I first tried to lose weight after having my last child… I kept trying to do what 𝘶𝘴𝘦𝘥 to work. 😮‍💨⁣
⁣
But I quickly learned that I wasn’t that same version of me anymore.⁣
⁣
I was tired, stretched thin, and trying to pour from an empty cup. 🫩⁣
⁣
It took me a long time to realize the power of gracing myself for the season I was in. ⁣
⁣
Once I started listening to my body, simplifying my routine, and focusing on consistency over perfection… that’s when everything started to change. 🌱⁣
⁣
If you’ve been trying to “get back” to your old routine and it’s just not clicking - this is your reminder to check in and see what will help you & what’s actually draining you in this current season. ⁣
⁣

My weight loss progress accelerated when I prioritized more movement 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 my scheduled workouts. 🔥 ⁣
⁣
Yes, a 30 minute workout is great! ✅ ⁣
⁣
But, it’s what you do 𝘢𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳 that makes the biggest difference. ⁣
⁣
As someone who works from home, I knew 𝘪𝘮𝘮𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘺 that a walking pad & rising desk was a non-negotiable for me. 💯⁣
⁣
Of course I don’t walk all day, but these two things help me get over 10k steps throughout the week. ⁣

⁣
Walking and typing isn’t as hard as it may seem. I’ve (thankfully) gotten really good at it. 👏🏽⁣
⁣
I started off at a very slow pace, practiced, and steadily increased the speed. 🐢 ⁣
⁣
Drop “𝗣𝗔𝗗” in the comments and I’ll send you the walking pad I’m using! It’s very affordable, btw! 🙌🏽⁣

Let’s prioritize ourselves together! 🩷⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

You don’t have to give up dessert to lose weight‼️ ⁣
⁣
You just have to do it differently. ⁣
⁣
Since I track my calories, I make sure I save 100-200 calories for my favorite sweets every now and then 🤤 ⁣
⁣
These are some of my favorite Sam’s Club desserts that help me stay on track! I’m sure you can find these items at other stores, too! 🙌🏽⁣

No one just “arrives.”

So, if you feel bad for struggling to reach your goal…don’t.

I used to struggle with:
➖Emotional eating
➖Eating a lot of calories in the middle of the night
➖Drinking too much alcohol, too often.
➖Yo-yo dieting
➖Restrictive eating that made me unhappy

If you want to lose weight and keep it off…

Slow down & carefully address the things that caused weight gain or a decrease in the quality of life in the first place‼️

Here are a few things I had to address, learn, and unlearn to finally enjoy my journey & stop yo-yo dieting:

✅ Talk therapy helped me face and heal underlying emotions that made me turn to food to cope.
✅ I dove into nutrition and learned how to eat in a way that increased my energy and made me feel whole, instead of feeling hunger all day
✅ I prayed A LOT, asking God to change my relationship with drinking- I’m a firm believer of sticking to the recommended amount of alcohol for women.
✅ I renewed my mindset with exercise and weight loss, and taught myself to show up differently when doubt, fear, and imperfection arose. This helped me finally lose weight and keep it off 🙌🏽
✅ With the help of God, I healed my relationship with all food! There’s no such thing as “bad” food. Rather, I see food as “information.” There are some foods that gives your body the nutrients to restore, heal, and provide energy. Anddd, there are other foods that doesn’t give your body those things. My rule is to eat more foods that GIVE‼️

Don’t lose hope. Keep going. Give yourself grace. Sometimes you just need a different approach (and a bit of time) to get to where you’re going! 🩷

I used to smile on the outside but didn’t feel 100% comfortable in my own skin. I wanted change but doubted if I could really do it. ✨⁣
⁣
The truth is, it wasn’t just about losing weight…it was about learning to keep promises to myself, even on the days I wanted to quit. ⁣
⁣
It’s been messy, it’s been hard, but worth every single step‼️ ⁣
⁣
This photo reminds me that the version of me who felt stuck didn’t stay stuck. If she could push through, so can you. 💕

One of my biggest 𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 struggles in my weight loss journey is, allowing the time it’ll take to reach my goals to discourage me 😫⁣
⁣
I still take action and continue to show up, but boyyy is it annoying and challenging 😑⁣
⁣
A lot of times, it feels like nothinggg is happening on a day-to-day basis. ⁣
⁣
Like, why do I have to put in all this work just to lose 5lbs⁉️ 🥲⁣
⁣
I’ll be honest…sometimes my thoughts are extremely close to making me quit, eat a surplus of chips and dip, and not exercise. ⁣
⁣
But, as I always share…whether or not we feel like taking action, 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗲 𝗱𝗼 (𝗼𝗿 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗱𝗼) 𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗮 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗲. ⁣
⁣
This is why it’s important to have a strong and meaningful 𝙒𝙃𝙔! ⁣
⁣
My 𝘞𝘏𝘠 is always strong enough to get me off my behind to workout, meal prep, and stick to my plan! 📅 ⁣
⁣
𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗿𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗱 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝘄…it’s normal, sis! I have many of those days. ⁣
⁣
You just have to literally SPEAK BACK to those doubts, re-affirm yourself, ask God for strength, and take it 𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 one day at a time! 🩷⁣
⁣
Let me know in the comments how you plan to overcome self-doubt next week! ✨⁣
