When your sister is a sun goddess chair model from heaven and you are just… you. 🤣

I’m not the smallest I’ve ever been or the big

I’m not the smallest I’ve ever been or the biggest but I am the happiest.

I’ve learned that happiness is not dictated by body shape or size but is instead something we create for ourselves.

Tonight I toast to the in between. To where I’ve been, to where I’m going next, and to all the happiness I’ll create along the way. 💖

Brady almost died today.

I couldn’t lift my suitcase so I asked him to carry it down the stairs and load it. I reminded him several times as we both ran around loading things and getting the house ready to depart.

5 hours into our drive I asked, “you did load my suitcase, right?”

“Yeah, yeah, of course I did!” He reassured me and then paused… “At least I think that I did.” 🤔

“Oh my goodness Brady Williams, please tell me you did not forget my suitcase.”

A quick pit stop confirmed that my suitcase was not with us.

He wanted to turn around. I refused to add 10 hours to our drive and thought maybe I’d just fly back to get it. Then I remembered that there is a way to ship things without shipping people!🤣

So shout out to our neighbors Roxanne and Briane who ran my suitcase to UPS. And also to Rebecca at the UPS store who gave us a discount… Y’all saved a life today. 🤣🙏❤️

“I chased after an ideological image of myself f

“I chased after an ideological image of myself for years in a relentless pursuit of being thin. If there was a diet, I tried it. A pill, I took it. But I was focusing on all the wrong things. My mind would tell me “if you were thin, you’d be happy.” But my mind was wrong.⁣
⁣
Healthy isn’t a size.⁣
⁣
Happiness isn’t a weight.⁣
⁣
My problem wasn’t that I was obese. That was just a symptom. My problem was that I didn’t hold myself in high enough regard. I didn’t assign enough value to my health and well-being. I gave my time, effort, and sanity to everyone around me, never prioritizing my own needs. Then, after I was beaten down, with nothing left and exhausted to the depths of my soul, I’d medicate myself with food.⁣
⁣
I had to surrender my right to be led by my desires and acknowledge that my desires don’t always have my best interests in mind. ⁣

If you, like me, have been chasing this version of yourself that you’ve never really been able to obtain, maybe it’s time to stop chasing. ⁣
⁣
Maybe it’s time to acknowledge that you’re perfectly enough right now, exactly as you are. Maybe it’s time to acknowledge that your issues aren’t because of a symptom but part of a bigger problem and you need to align yourself with the solution.”⁣

First 5k of the year! I ran 3.1 without stopping and then hiked 3.1 back to the house. My desert times are always slower than my city times. I’m stoked to head to Texas next week to see how fast my 5k time is there! I fly in the flatland! Last month at the beach I was running an 11 minute mile!

This is the fastest 5k I’ve ever recorded. I’ve been running off and on since 2018. My mile time used to be a 15 minute mile so to see a 14 minute average at this altitude is a big deal for me.

Over the years I’ve kept running fun. I don’t push too hard. I do it because I love it, not because I want to lose weight.

Having this practice in my life has made such an incredible difference! I am calmer, I deal with less anxiety, I am happier, I am more centered and focused. It makes me sad to know that I forsook exercise for much of my life because I only valued it for weight loss. I’m so glad that we have finally become friends. 💛

I hope your weekend is restful and happy and fun. Life is too short. 💛💛

Updated my profile photo! I hadn’t changed it in

I finally became established with a new functional

I finally became established with a new functional medicine doctor today. I want to make sure everything is working the way that it should. She is doing a bunch of lab work for me:

- Full thyroid panel: TSH, Free T3, Free T4, reverse T3, TPO, and TGAB. Important to make sure my autoimmune disease is still in remission but also a very helpful panel to really understand whether or not the thyroid could be the root of symptoms like hair loss, muscle weakness, or weight gain/loss.

-Vitamin D: most of us are deficient.

-Fasting glucose and Fasting Insulin.

-Omegas: EPA+DPA+DHA When omega 3 levels and omega 6 aren’t aligned it can cause inflammation.

—Standard lipid panel: monitoring cholesterol and other metabolic markers is so important. High cholesterol can be a signal of hypothyroidism.

—Full iron panel, including % of saturation.

—Testosterone, DHT, SHBG, FSH, and LH hormone health markers.

—CRP, Homocysteine (inflammatory markers)

and a few others including a stool test.

Blood can give us so many clues as to what is going on within the body and it’s been years since I’ve had such an in depth work up. At this point in my health journey I’m excited to see what the numbers say and if there’s anything else that I can do to continue to increase wellness. ❤️

*NEW RECIPE!!* Spaghetti Squash Lasagna Casserole

*NEW RECIPE!!*

Spaghetti Squash Lasagna Casserole is an amazing Sunday dinner that requires very little effort. This is a great dinner to make with leftover spaghetti squash, it bakes up so nicely and isn’t watery, like vegetable based lasagnas can sometimes be.

I enjoy a little bit of sourdough on the side with balsamic glaze and everything but the bagel seasoning. I always add a bit of green to our dinner plates be that an individual vegetable or a gorgeous green salad. These green beans were cooked in the Instant Pot pressure cooker for 3 minutes on high pressure in a little bit of water with garlic powder, dried minced onion, sea salt, and black pepper. So easy and mega tasty!
