Read the following whenever you are wrestling with self-doubt:

✨ I rely on my inner power to work with me in creating the life I deeply desire.

✨ My inner voice and universal intelligence will provide the guidance I need to succeed.

✨ There is nothing I cannot do unless I restrict my power through a limiting thought.

✨ Knowing I am unbound and unlimited.

✨ I accept myself as a happy, healthy, strong, successful, and prosperous person right here and now.

We have so much to be thankful for this year.

It's strange having thanksgiving dinner and not worrying about calories or weight gain. A year ago I went to the gym on thanksgiving.

Don't get me wrong. I'm excited to get back into a healthy lifestyle, but while growing a tiny human it has been hard. no energy to go to the gym. No real desire to count calories. I havent gained any weight and my baby is measuring right on schedule so I don't want to change anything.

This year, my boyfriend and I are taking over the cooking part of Thanksgiving. We are making green bean casserole, stuffing, turkey and gravy, pecan pie, and baked beans. My mom is doing deviled eggs and squash casserole. My sister in law is making mashed potatoes and bringing pumpkin pie.

Nobody prepared me for how nerve wracking it is trying to plan a Thanksgiving meal. We are nervous lol.

It's been a minute.

So I'm 20 weeks pregnant with my first child.

Being plus size and pregnant is terrifying, but the baby is healthy and growing right on target, in the 40th percentile, whatever that means.

I had finally started losing weight again before getting pregnant so that has been put on hold. Maintenance is the goal now because my doctor doesn't want me gaining more than 10 pounds since I'm overweight to begin with.

Things are good.

How are things out there? Is anyone still around?

Idk

I think I'm kinda cute

We finished our paintings and I'm kinda happy with it. This is the first time either of us have painted anything.

We didn't do half bad.

Weve been painting.

Ignore the mess. We've been trying to finish a lot of projects.

Sincere compliment: You have an amazing smile!

This honestly made me smile so much ♥️

Some life updates I guess.

I'm trying to have a baby. My boyfriend and I have talked in depth and we are both ready so we are actively trying to have a baby.

I went to the doctor last week and my labs said I had high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and I was prediabetic.

Im also obese which I knew.

I go back in two weeks to see if I am doing any better. I'm taking my blood pressure every single morning. I'm more conscious about what I'm putting into my body and I'm trying really hard to listen to my hunger cues better.

I invested in lower cholesterol options. I have been using liquid egg whites with my singular whole egg. I'm using plant based butter when I'm cooking for just myself, or when using it to flavor things like green beans for dinner. I got some plant based mayo which tastes like miracle whip.

Food is tasting different, but not bad.

Change is easy when I'm not working but I return to the classroom after next week. Finding solutions around my work schedule is going to take some adjusting.

My blood pressure has come down to a healthy level, consistently. I've also begun to lose weight after being stuck for awhile.

I'm trying to become a mother. I don't want to be a parent that is too unhealthy to take care of their kids. That's my biggest 'why.'

TLDR; I'm restarting my health journey and coming back to tumblr.
