Stocking on staples I’ll need to support my new Stocking on staples I’ll need to support my new glp-1 journey! 🛒🍗 Here’s everything on my grocery list: 

1️⃣ Multivitamin + Omega 3 - this is crucial for making sure I stay healthy and feel my best during treatment. 

2️⃣ Protein - GLP-1 meds can reduce appetite, which often means less protein intake. I’ve learned that protein food sources or powders help preserve lean muscle mass, support immune function, and keep energy up. 

3️⃣ Fiber - helps with digestion, bowel regularity, and blood sugar balance. I’m starting slow with chia seeds (adding this to my protein smoothies!). 

4️⃣ Electrolytes - Since GLP-1 slows digestion and reduces appetite often, it increases risk of dehydration. I grabbed Body Armor FlashIV packets for when my appetite is low and I feel lightheaded or depleted. 

5️⃣ GLP-1 Friendly Foods: eggs, plain Greek yogurt, grilled chicken, peanut butter, frozen berries, apples, granola, and protein bars. 

I’m not trying to change my diet completely, but I am focused on making small, simple, and healthier choices that I can easily maintain. Ultimately, I’m aiming for 20–30g protein per meal while using GLP-1 meds, but if my appetite is low, it becomes protein first, then carbs.

You guys know there’s never a dull moment around You guys know there’s never a dull moment around here and I’m always bringing you along the ride for the fun stuff 🤪 This one’s personal. 

Between marriage, motherhood, and life with a very full house, I’ve learned how easy it is to take care of everyone else and quietly forget yourself. Lately, I’ve been making small, intentional choices to change that, and starting a GLP-1 medication is one of them. 

I gave my husband five kids, it’s time to give ME my body back! Like with everything else, I’ll be sharing this journey honestly, gently, and in my own way. I’m excited, a little nervous, and grateful to be in a place where choosing myself feels possible again.

Here’s to choosing ourselves with a little more grace 🤍

Here’s the truth you need to hear: withdrawal is Here’s the truth you need to hear: withdrawal is a choice. The most regulated, self-respecting thing you can learn to do when that happens is: 

• stop auditioning for understanding 
• stop overexplaining 
• stop chasing reconciliation
• stop managing other people’s emotions
• stop reopening wounds just to prove you’re “loving” 

Jesus modeled for us that once you’ve shown up honestly, clearly, and with care, the rest isn’t yours to fix.

“For we are each responsible for our own conduct.” — Galatians‬ ‭6‬:‭5‬ ‭

Unfortunately, most of the time, what usually happens next is people may act like nothing happened, or reach out casually without addressing it, or frame the distance as YOU pulling away.

But let the truth stand on its own. Let your nervous system settle. Go live your life. Because there’s a quiet strength in not chasing, not correcting, not proving. 

Here’s three scriptures that’s encouraged me:

1️⃣ “A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion.” — Proverbs 18:2

2️⃣ “If possible, to the best of your ability, live at peace with all people. Don’t try to get revenge for yourselves, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath.” — Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭18-19‬ ‭

3️⃣ “Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.” — Proverbs‬ ‭4‬:‭23‬ ‭

Bottom line, let people choose you…or not. Happy Monday Yall ❤️

This is your reminder that God is still in control This is your reminder that God is still in control.

Even with everything going on right now in politics. In the news. In the economy. In our neighborhoods. In LIFE.

Here are some scriptures getting me through: 

1️⃣ “Be still, and know that I am God!”
‭‭— Psalms‬ ‭46‬:‭10‬ ‭‬‬

2️⃣ “Weeping may endure for a night, But joy comes in the morning.” — Psalms‬ ‭30‬:‭5‬ ‭

3️⃣ “Give your burdens to the Lord, and he will take care of you…” — Psalms‬ ‭55‬:‭22‬ ‭

4️⃣ “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.” — Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭6‬ ‭

5️⃣ “So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.” — Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭34‬ ‭‬‬

6️⃣ “Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding.” — Proverbs‬ ‭3‬:‭5‬ ‭NLT‬‬

7️⃣ “What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us?” — Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭31‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Feel free to take what you need. Happy Wednesday yall ❤️
