In the weight loss space, I hear a lot of people say they want to “bounce back” or “get back” to a previous version of themselves that was smaller. But it’s not just the smaller body you’d get back… it’s also a life with less. A version of you that has lived less, experienced less, learned less, grown through less.

Lately, I’ve found myself wishing I could go back too. Back to a version of me before heartbreak. Before certain disappointments. A version of me with more naive hope and untested faith. But that version of me was also less trusting of herself. Less wise. Less resilient. Less proud of how she moves through difficulty.

If we want to erase the hard seasons, we also erase the person who survived them. And what a joy we would be robbing ourselves of.

If you choose to learn through it all, there is no past version of you that is more capable than the one you are now. No matter how different your body, your life, or your circumstances look.

It’s not just our experiences that expand, it’s our capacity to move through them with more grace, faith, and strength.

If the options are going back, staying the same, or moving forward… I’d rather grow. 🌱

A year ago I did this challenge. And this year I beat my last time by 3 seconds.

Three seconds sounds small, but I’ve had four surgeries since then. If anything, this should have taken me longer than last time.

There have been a lot of days since my surgeries where I’ve felt behind. Like I lost momentum. Like I’m not as strong or capable as I used to me.

But this has shown me that strength and endurance aren’t simply physical, they’re mental. It’s mindset.

We think progress has to look dramatic to count. But sometimes it looks like showing up when you’re not sure if you’re as capable as you used to be. Trying even when you feel weaker. And discovering you were never as “behind” as you thought.

Your mind will take you further than your body ever could alone.
We are all so much more capable than we think we are! 🥰

Here’s the real scoop on the food at 👇🏻

Breakfast? Made to order. 🙌🏼
There’s a menu, weekly specials, and you can mix and match to build exactly what you want. I’m usually an eggs-in-some-form girl with a carb on the side (because balance 💁🏻‍♀️).

Lunch kicks off with the soup of the day (such a simple addition that brings me joy 🥰) and then you choose between:
🥗 The salad of the day
🍲 Or a main entree — often a grain bowl loaded with veggies and protein.
I rarely ever choose the salad but I hear they’re amazing. 🙈

Dinner starts with a fresh house salad and then you’ve got two options again — typically different proteins like chicken, fish, or pork — paired with a grain or carb (potatoes!!) and veggies.

And these are not boring “meat and veggies” plates. The sauces, flavors and little touches make everything feel chef-crafted (because they are) and satisfying! 😋

Dessert happens two nights a week and you get to choose between two options. It definitely makes dessert feel intentional and special!

You can also customize based on your dietary needs and preferences. Your protein portions are actually based on your BMR from your InBody scan so you know you’re being served what’s best for your body!

There’s also a snack area with nuts, raisins, veggies, yogurt, fruit, cheese (and sometimes dark chocolate chips)… and a make-your-own latte station at any time. Yes, at any time. 🤗☕

Honestly, I love being somewhere I don’t have to think about what I’m eating. It’s nourishing, delicious, and already handled for me. My brain gets to rest, my body gets what it needs and I just get to focus on my health!

It’s such a gift. 💜

I’ve already been wearing the ButterLab Leggings and V-neck Tank in black regularly since last summer and now I get to add some more color to the mix! 🎉 And I’m loving their new update to their PowerTight Leggings too!

I am SO excited to wear some of these colorful pieces! 😍 I’ve shared about some of my IUGA items before and I wanted to do a try on haul with some new pieces and I’m LOVING them! They’re smooth, soft and comfy for all day wear but also feel supportive and give me enough compression as well!

These are already so affordable but I was able to get a code for you also! You can use code “hope25” at the link in the comments to try them for yourself!

I used to be afraid of becoming a “new version” of myself. I wanted to grow. I wanted to evolve. I even wanted to change… but I didn’t want to lose me.

Because I loved me, even at my biggest size. I loved my heart and my soul. I loved the way I saw the world and empathized. I loved the way I processed and reflected. I wanted to change for the better without losing the parts of me I already loved.

My identity has changed. It’s inevitable with the kind of transformation I’ve gone through. But I don’t think I have a completely new identity, I think it’s shifted.

The parts of me I loved most were never tied to my weight or my size. They were woven into who I am. What changed was my confidence. My energy. My steadiness. My clarity in who I am. My deeper trust in this evolved version of me more than my trust in myself before.

I didn’t become someone else.
I became more myself.

The version of me that didn’t yet have the chance to bloom. I became more settled inside myself. More grounded. More alive. More sure.

The parts of me I already loved didn’t go anywhere. They just made room for new parts I love now too. 🥰

One full day of movement, meals, learning, recovery, and trying new (ish) things that I’m not the best at. 😉

I love because it’s a reminder that wellness is so much more than we think it is. It’s not just food or fitness. It’s showing up, listening to your body and letting your health support your life instead of control it.

Being here feels like home to me. 🥰 This place was such a valuable part of my life while I was actively losing weight. To me, it’s a place where I can focus 100% on my health — physical, mental, emotional, spiritual — to get closer to the healthiest version of me I know I can be!

It’s an absolutely privilege to get to spend time here and I never take it for granted. 🙌🏻 This was a cardio day for me but next time I’ll show you some strength training! ☺️

True healing touches every part of your life. When you get healthier or more healed in one area, it naturally strengthens the others. And the opposite is true too. When one area is neglected, it quietly affects everything else.

When I started my health journey, I didn’t think I needed “healing.” I knew I needed change—physically, mentally, emotionally—but I didn’t see myself as unhealed. What I’ve learned since is that healed and healthy aren’t separate things. They’re intertwined. And they’re not destinations you arrive at and stay forever. Healing is ongoing. Health is ongoing. You don’t finish. It continues to deepen.

Life will always be hard at times. Overwhelming. Stressful. Uncomfortable. Heavy. There will always be more work to do when it comes to who you are and how you live. But that isn’t meant to discourage you, it’s meant to inspire you!

With a growth mindset, you get to live with the confidence that you haven’t yet met the healthiest, most healed version of yourself. It’s not about telling yourself you’re “not enough.” It’s about reminding yourself there’s more in you and giving yourself grace as you uncover it. 💜

I didn’t lose weight because I finally found motivation or discipline. I lost weight when I stopped trying to lose weight and started trying to gain health. When the goal shifted from getting smaller to living bigger, I no longer had to endure the pressure of certain results in a specific timeline, I just had to be consistent.

What actually changed everything was learning to start small, stay boring, and stop letting every unhealthy thought determine my actions. I didn’t wait to feel ready or confident… I chose repeatable actions even when my mind was doubting. That’s where real change came from and it’s why it lasted. 💜

I’ve been hesitant to use this sound because even though I am a better version of myself now, it’s not because I’m visually different, which is what this sound implies.

When I say I’m better now, I don’t mean smaller.

I mean I’m stronger.
Braver.
Freer.
Healthier.
More confident.
More resilient.
More me than ever.

I’m better because I learned how to keep promises to myself.
Because I traded my familiar, unhealthy life for an unfamiliar, healthier one.
Because I don’t run from discomfort and change anymore.

I’m better because I trust myself now.
Because I can sit with hard things without numbing or spiraling.
Because my life feels aligned instead of avoided.
Because I’m happier because my life is bigger!

My body changed as a byproduct.
But the real change happened underneath.

Better isn’t about taking up less space.
It’s about living more fully inside the space you’re already in! 🥰

Looking back, every difficult thing I’ve chosen has one thing in common: I only ever regret not choosing it sooner.

I’ve learned that ready isn’t a feeling you wait around for. If I had waited to feel ready, I’d still be standing still. Ready is a decision. It’s the moment you stop letting fear, comfort or “someday” dictate your actions. It’s choosing movement over perfect timing. Choosing progress even when it feels uncomfortable or inconvenient.

I spent so much energy justifying (mostly to myself) why I couldn’t change… when that same energy could have been moving me toward the life I actually wanted. Either way, energy gets spent. The question is what you have to show for it once it’s gone.

So if you’re waiting to feel ready… this is your sign
Decide. Commit. Invest in yourself.
Your future self will never wish you had waited longer.

And for those of you who’ve already made that decision… check what I wrote in the comments! 🥰

Vacation eating looks a little different than everyday eating and that’s okay. Even if you have health or weight-loss goals, you’re still allowed to enjoy your vacation! In the grand scheme of things, a few days won’t undo months of progress.

This day, after coffee and half a danish for breakfast, the only thing I was intentional about was adding protein. Not just because I “should,” but because my body genuinely craves it now. I still wanted foods I enjoy though, like some classic chicken tenders and french fries. I had some of the meal for an early lunch, then later I ate the rest at the beach with my electrolytes!

For dinner, I ordered spinach dip with crab, thinking the crab would come as its own portion on the side but it ended up just being mixed into the dip. Since it wasn’t as much protein as I expected, a friend shared some of her chicken with me so I could balance it out. I only had a few tortilla chips, but I did eat the full pita with the dip.

And I had about a quarter of the fudge at the end. Remember, just because I show it doesn’t mean I eat all of it. 😉

All of my outfits from my Florida vacation. Loose skin included. 😉
