The craziest month is upon us ā¦ letās keep moving and motivated!
We used the BFR bands today and did some quick muscle burn exercises as we walked!

I can deliver a baby in a car but show me a needle and try to take blood and I may just hit the floor!!
Today I was ālocked inā, hydrated and had a rock star phlebotomist ā¦. My veins did not collapse and I didnāt pass out!!šš»
Canāt wait to see what my fasting insulin is, A1C, Vit D level etc.
Anyone else completely spiral when they have to get blood taken??
I may forget why I walked into a roomā¦ but I šÆ will NOT fall for the āI gave it to youā tactic from my middle school daughters.
Their confidence is impressiveā¦
The strategy? Flawed.
At this point I might have to start gaslighting them backā¦ just to keep things interesting
Anyone else dealing with this or is it just happening in my house?
Going sober 6 years ago was a piece of cake compared to this low-carb journey!
I have been shocked at how tough the past 6-7 weeks have been ā¦ maybe I should have phased into the low carb lifestyle instead of going cold turkey!
The first 5 weeks were brutal but now Iām coming out of it a feeling much better.
Weight has started to come off and feeling more energy ā¦ has anyone else had the same reaction?
Itās crazy but Iām glad I stuck with it ā¦ I still at times want to shove my face into a bag of chips but the cravings have gotten better!!šš»

š Happy 14th Birthday to our ālittleā Dylan Dorothy (who is now many inches taller than me and somehow grew while I blinked).
Fourteen years of grit, growth, plot twists, big feelingsā¦ā¦ and elite-level negotiation skills!
She has walked through things that could have hardened her ā instead, they shaped her. Resilient. Determined. Fierce. Funny. And lots of main character energy!
We are so unbelievably proud of the young woman she is becoming ā we canāt wait to see how she tackles high school and the year ahead!
We ā¤ļø you D$!!!
Sleep deprivation + heavy mental load is a dangerous combo for me!!
Especially when I hit max capacity by 7am and the f-bombs start well before the coffee does.
I almost didnāt post this ā
but pretending we donāt have these days doesnāt help anyone.
As midlife gals we still have limits.
And some mornings, the nervous system taps out early.
On days like this, itās hard to whip out one of my 500 gratitude journalsā¦. š
To all my gal pals ā when the mental load explodes before breakfast, what actually helps you reset?
