Regular diet: I have tried SO many things over the years. I tell myself that I try for a balanced diet, that is not too extreme, but in reality, I struggle with emotional eating. When I am stressed, I turn to eating out and sugary treats. It’s been a long road to be able to admit that openly. I am working on my triggers, and trying to heal my relationship with food.

I have been most successful with a Keto/Low Carb way of eating. Last year I lost 30 pounds! I am looking forward to working through my issues, so that I can enjoy a sustainable, guilt-free diet.

Activity level: I think of myself as active, but currently, I’m lucky if I walk around the block once a month. Running up and down the stairs after my kids is pretty much all the work out I get these day. However, that will hopefully be changing once summer starts and we get outdoors more. My husband and I are also going to be starting a workout program together. In the past, we’ve done a terrain race 5k, and multiple Beachbody programs, such as P90x3, 21 Day Fix, Cize, etc.

Sleep and Stress Level: Oh sleep… I actually do pretty good with sleep. Usually 11-7 ish. We try to get our kids to bed early (like before 7:30), because the later the kids are up, the later the parents are up.

But stress… We don’t want to talk about that. Haha… okay, I guess we will. 😊 In the last 7 years, I went from being a full time hairdresser to a stay at home foster mom, who has adopted 3 boys and 2 girls (who are 35 days apart) and we are currently fostering my son’s baby sister. That makes 3 little girls under the age of 2. Yeah, my life is C-R-A-Z-Y, and just a *little* bit stressful. But then, whose isn’t?😉

Daily water consumption: I drink at least 30 oz a day. I’m trying to get to half my weight in ounces, but that is hit and miss.

I want to be the best me I can be. I want to enjoy life, and have time to spend with my husband and family. I have spent a lot of years being sick and exhausted. Gaining a lot of weight sucked! With my 30 pound weight loss though, I no longer have half of me to lose! Just almost. 😉 It has been amazing to walk up my stairs, carrying 40 pounds of children, and not feel out of breath. I love that I have more energy! And that as I focus on finding what works for me, I feel more confident in my own skin. 😊
