Was feeling super sad tonight, and just focused on all of my failures. I was going to write them out and then try and focus on the opposite, when something just snapped me out of it. I was like what am I doing? There's SO much to be thankful for! Whybam I so focused on the failures? And even if you don't feel like you've been extremely successful (even though our success isn't our identity) focus on the little things! For me right now, I've finally been able to lose 6 lbs in two weeks after gaining 25 lbs two years ago from a diet for my stomach. (No I'm not starving myself, lol I cut out a lot of sensitivies) I'm about 1-3 inches away from completing the side splits, I'm learning construction from my dad, and being able to help him and gain amazing memories I'll have for the rest of my life. It was sunny today!!! I could keep going, this last 2 months has made me grow so much and realize how much I actually like who I was created to be!
If you're in a funk, think about everything you DO have! And....let me know what you're thankful for so we can be stoked together!

Hiking and being outdoors has been such a huge lifesaver for me in this time! What's been your outlet?

Turkey wrap!!
Been trying to be more creative with my food. Usually that ends up in frustration(bloating and stomach upset). But as I've been feeling slightly better I'm starting carefully branch out! I used a collard leaf, which I trimmed off some of the stem and blanched so it was easier to use(put in almost boiling water for 30 or so seconds then rinsed in cold water). Homemade pesto (basil, salt, lemon juice, avocado oil, red onion (garlic still bothers me but you can be super creative!) Onions, bell pepper, avocado, cucumber and turkey (a lot more than shown on the video 🙊. Enjoy! Super easy and an great way to avoid processed wraps!
What have you been eating lately?

Update! (Loong post)
For those of you who don't know, I have dealt with digestive issues for most of my life. Bloating, feeling sick and being uncomfortable (and embarrassed of my tummy) was just a way of life. I often found myself afraid to eat because of how I'd feel, and not knowing exactly what would make me sick. I wasn't ever hungry either, but my blood sugar issues would tell me I had to eat. Which I would, and then a lot of times I'd become so distended I'd look like I was 4-5 months pregnant. After trying sooo many diets, and trying to fix the balance of my bacteria in my gut, I kept running up short, something would fail and I'd either gain a bunch of weight because I had inadvertently starved myself from the diet or my symptoms would worsen. I began to think (even had doctors tell me) this was just how life is supposed to be for me, which would often spiral me into despair. Why me? Why can other people eat whatever they want and be fine??
Well, I want to tell you, if you feel the same way keep going! You're going to figure it out! You're going to make it! Don't give up! Keep fighting!
I am not 100% better...yet. But I am soooo close I can taste it! My stomach is still slightly bloated but it doesnt distend like it used to, and I don't feel sick eating most foods anymore! Even some foods I couldn't eat before, although I'm still super careful! I'm so excited for the future, for finally getting better, and can't believe this day is finally almost upon me! As I've been healing, on top of losing the bloat, I've lost some of the weight I gained due to starving myself from a diet (on accident) and I'm finally beginning to feel proud of the skin I'm in! I've shed many a tear dreaming for this moment!! If anyone has ever felt like it won't happen for you, please don't give up! This has been over 15 years in the making and I want to tell you its possible! You can get there too! ❤

Recipe in my stories!!! Quick and easy breakfast! Not mentioned in my stories is that I cooked on high, and added a little lemon juice to brighten up the flavor when I added the bone broth! Soo delish! Play with different veggies and herbs to come up with new combinations!

This summer has been fun! I've decided not to be afraid about eating fruit. Not that i was super scared...but let me explain.
Ever since my doctor thought I had an imbalance of yeast back when I was 19, I always felt guilty eating fruit because I knew it could be feeding the yeast and making things worse. Fast forward 11 years and I decided to say meh... haha I always tend to be back on my diet in summer and never got to eat the in season fruits. And this year I said forget it. They all have good nutrition and I'm going to enjoy them! Bring on the nectarines!!! Now this doesnt mean I'm making myself sick, or just eating fruit and spiking my blood sugar. But my opinion is, if it's a whole food, I'm not going to worry so much, just listen to my body and eat until I'm satisfied. So in short, this season has been fun! 🙃 what's your fave summer fruit?

I think we make food too complex sometimes. I used to only ever meal plan with recipes. But this was so easy. Sauteed some zucchini, kale, and tomato in avocado oil, added salt, and basil. When the veggies were beginning to brown, I added a tiny bit of bone broth to cook the veggies the rest of the way, and some fresh lemon juice. Then I just threw in some ground beef I cooked up yesterday and voila. Super simple. But healthy and delicious. What's a quick and healthy thing you go to?

What lense(s) are you seeing the world through?
I've been thinking about this a lot lately. Are we choosing to have an attitude of gratitude? Or are we taking the backseat and saying we're the victim of our circumstances? What we believe is true, ends up finding it's way to be true. What lenses are you using?

When I need to think, I head to the great outdoors. I've always been like this. When I was a kid you could find me in a tree, in my fort (which was a big hollow bush) or playing in the tall grass of our backyard. Being outside always refreshes me, they also say...it helps you live longer 🤔 what about you?

Look at this tiny mushroom I found on a hike! Soo cute! 🍄
It got me thinking about foraging. Did you know?? That today, we only have a small variety of fruits and vegetables, even meat! Where as our ancestors had upwards of several hundred different types of fruits, veggies and animals that they ate. It's so important that we work on getting a larger variety of foods because each one has it's own makeup of vitamins and minerals! This week, try buying and cooking a veggie you usually don't! It's super fun! What are you gonna try??
