Personalized Napkin Ring Place Cards

Right before the holidays, my mom asked me to help her with a little project she had in mind for Christmas Eve dinner. She found these wooden napkin rings on Amazon and thought it would be a cool idea to personalized napkin ring place cards for our family members. What a cool idea, right?

✨WEIGHT LOSS TIP #1✨ TRACK EVERYTHING!! My #1

✨WEIGHT LOSS TIP #1✨ TRACK EVERYTHING!!

My #1 tip for anyone who is looking to transform their body in anyway, is to TRACK EVERYTHING! Weight loss all comes down to simple math - more calories need to go out than come in in order to lose weight. Period. When I began using an app to track my meals and activity, I FINALLY started to see results.

The Healthi app allows you to track your meals and activity to stay on top of your calorie and macronutrient goals. You can fully customize your experience by setting your own calories and macros, OR you can use their calorie calculator to set those amounts for you.

Healthi also offers plans based on Weight Watchers programs if you do better with a points system than calorie counting, although I recommend using calories as your unit of measure. You have to find what works best for you!

Tracking honestly will give you the best results - don’t forget about the tablespoon of olive oil you used to sauté your ground turkey, etc. Everything counts in good ways and bad. Making sure you have a healthy balance of proteins, carbs and healthy fats is so important in your overall health journey.

I LOVE FABLETICS!! I have to say, with the ridiculous amount of leggings, sports bras and workout tops that I have tried, I keep coming back to Fabletics. 🙌🏻

Their leggings are nice and high, they don’t roll down, they’re long enough for taller girls like me, and they fabrics are great!

I love the look of this recent set I ordered - the Challenge set in Wild Camo. I am so obsessed with this pattern!! But sadly, this specific set I will be returning. I think I’ve learned me lesson overall with patterned leggings, and maybe it’s a preference thing. Patterned leggings are printed on a lighter colored legging, so when that print stretches the lighter color underneath tends to show through. Makes sense!

As much as I really loved this set, I knew that the small change in coloring in the “thicker” areas would drive me crazy. Fabletics has a great return policy, and I’m already scoping out their new arrivals to see what I’ll be ordering next!

Have you tried Fabletics yet? I HIGHLY recommend it! 🙌🏻 What do you think of this design? Cute? Or too funky?

REMINDER: We are only human. ⬇️

It’s so easy to beat ourselves up for not doing enough. This time of year so many of us set goals and aspirations for what we’ll do differently this trip around the sun. These goals are great to have, but it’s so important to give ourselves a little grace.

Last week was tough. My daughter is home under her third quarantine due to COVID exposure, and although she has tested negative, twice, she seems to be having some sort of inflammatory reaction to something.

She has had these red hive like splotches come and go all over her body day after day, and the doctor said it wasn’t anything serious, just most likely a reaction to fighting off an illness. Regardless, it’s stressful.

I also got my COVID booster this weekend and all of these things have left me feeling pretty drained. I’m exhausted. I started to beat myself up about going too many days without getting a workout in, but then I remembered to give myself a little grace. There’s always tomorrow, there’s always next week - to get back on track and continue this weight loss and health journey.

All of your hard work and progress will not be undone in a day. Give yourself a little grace 💕

These “before & after” shots are bittersweet.

These “before & after” shots are bittersweet. Looking at these two photos makes me so proud of how far I’ve come, but also reminds me of the catalyst that drove me to start focusing on my health.

These photos taken around the time of my daughter’s first birthday were a huge wake up call. I wanted so badly to have these picture perfect moments and perfect pictures to remember them by.

As wonderful as the moments were, I couldn’t help but feel embarrassed looking at photos from these events. I thought I was in a decent place with my weight since I had sort of bounced back during breastfeeding.

Once I stopped breastfeeding the weight slowly started to pile back on. I was so used to eating like I had been when I was feeding us both, and didn’t see what was happening.

As hard as it was, i needed this swift kick in the butt to get me motivated to do something about it. It hasn’t been easy, I’m not going to sugarcoat it. BUT there are things that I figured out along the l way that really helped me stay on track and see results.

People ask me how I stayed motivated. It’s not about motivation, it’s about consistency and discipline. That’s what keeps you going on days when you AREN’T motivated to workout or eat well. It’s a promise you make to yourself that you can’t break. ❤️
