Tonight, I saw myself differently. ❤️

I expected to see weight loss. I didn't expect to see so much life.

The picture on the left was taken just weeks after my heart attack.

The picture on the right was taken tonight—just a simple selfie, sitting on my bed before going to sleep.

When I put them side by side, I saw the difference.

My eyes are brighter.

My skin is clearer.

My face looks healthier.

But more than anything...

I look alive.

And after almost losing my life, I don't think there is any greater transformation than that.

There was a time when simply being here wasn't guaranteed.

But here I am.

Still healing.

Still getting stronger.

Still showing up.

The woman on the left survived.

The woman on the right is learning how to truly live. ❤️🙏🏼✨

NON-SCALE VICTORY 🙌🏼

The scale fluctuates, but moments like this don’t lie.

I used to sit in the driver’s seat with barely any room to spare. Today, I looked down and realized just how much space there is between me and the steering wheel now. 😳✨

That space is built on consistency, showing up on hard days, and choosing myself.

The scale might fluctuate.

But THIS?

I can see it.
I can feel it.
And I’m celebrating it. ❤️

Progress isn’t always measured in pounds. Sometimes it’s measured in the space you’ve created to live your life.

“Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.”
— Romans 12:1 NIV

This was one of the first verses I learned when I started reading the Bible, and it stuck with me.

“Offer your bodies as a living sacrifice…”

I’ve come to realize that worship isn’t just singing songs on Sunday. It’s how I live my life every day.

Taking care of my body.
Getting stronger.
Making better choices.
Serving others.
Using the life God has given me.

All of that is worship.

God has given me this life, and I want to live it for Him.

My life is my worship. 🙏🏼❤️

Why do I go to church?

• Because I felt God calling me to.

• I go because I want to be obedient to that calling.

• I go because I belong to a teaching church, and I want to learn Scripture—not just hear it, but understand it, grow in it, and allow it to shape the way I live.

• I go for fellowship…Because iron sharpens iron.

• I want to surround myself with people who love Jesus, who encourage me, challenge me, pray with me, and help me grow closer to Him. 🙏🏼💙

I don’t go because I have it all together.

I go because I know I don’t.

I go because I need God.

I need His Word.

I need His people.

And I want my life to continually point me back to Jesus.

So… why do you go to church?

Y’all… I accidentally CRUSHED dinner tonight. 😂🔥

And I literally just threw a few Aldi ingredients together and hoped for the best!

🍗 Spinach & feta chicken sausage
🫑 Tri-color bell peppers
🧅 Purple onion
🍲 Bone broth
🥢 Soy sauce
🧄 Jarlic (because fresh garlic is great… but jarlic gets the job done 😂)
🌿 A few spices
🍚 Jasmine rice

I let everything cook together and served it over the rice.

And let me tell you… this was delicious. 😋

I love when I can open the fridge, grab a few things, throw them in a pan and somehow end up with something that tastes like I actually had a plan. 😂

Easy, lots of flavor, good protein and veggies, and definitely something I’ll make again.

Sometimes you just have to wing it! ❤️

Oh and the dinner plate was part of a set from Mikasa someone was giving away for free on Marketplace, so I had to make it look pretty! 🤩

Okay Aldi shoppers… what’s your favorite easy dinner to throw together? I’m always looking for new ideas! 👇🏼

God’s grace keeps me going. ❤️

Not because every day is easy or because I have everything figured out, but because I know Who is carrying me.

His grace has met me in my hardest moments, given me strength when I had none, and reminded me that I never have to walk through this life alone.

I don’t know what today will bring, but I know Who holds tomorrow.

One day. One step. One breath at a time.

Thank You, God, for grace that never lets go. 🙏🏼❤️

🎒 Back-to-school = back to routine! 📚

Whether you have kids heading back to school or you’re simply ready to get yourself back into a rhythm, this is the perfect time to reset your routine — especially when it comes to food. 💪🏼

One thing I’ve learned is that staying on track gets SO much easier when I plan ahead.

✔️ Meal prep
✔️ Keep easy, high-protein options on hand
✔️ Have snacks ready to grab and go
✔️ Don’t wait until you’re starving to figure out what you’re going to eat
✔️ Make the better choice the easy choice

You don’t need complicated recipes or hours in the kitchen. Sometimes it’s just about having a few simple, protein-packed options ready when life gets busy.

So I’m sharing some high-protein snack and meal ideas to give you a little inspiration! 👇🏼

Save this post for your next grocery trip and pick a few things to prep for the week. ❤️

Plan ahead. Prep ahead. Stay consistent.

Because getting back on track doesn’t have to mean starting over. It just means getting back into the routine. 💪🏼

125 pounds × 10 💪🏼🔥

I worked my way there:
100 × 10
110 × 10
120 × 10
125 × 10

Controlled reps. No swinging. No using momentum to move the weight. Just steady, intentional movement.

I’m not in a rush to go heavier. I’m focused on becoming the strongest, most capable version of myself - one rep, one workout, one day at a time.

Last year, I was working out with 2-pound dumbbells on my couch after my heart attack and cardiac arrest.

Today, I’m rowing 125 pounds for 10 controlled reps.

And yes… I’m proud of this one. 🥹💪🏼

God has brought me a long way. And I’m not done yet. 💙🙏🏼

Sometimes I just stop and think…

How incredibly blessed am I to be loved by the Creator of the heavens and earth? ❤️

Nothing I could ever do could make me more loved.
And nothing I could ever do could make Him love me less.

That thought changes everything. 🙏🏻

Looking back isn’t always easy, but sometimes you need to see how far you’ve come.

This journey was never just about losing weight - it was about gaining a second chance at life.

The physical change is obvious. But the real transformation happened on the inside.

I stopped waiting for the “perfect time.” I stopped trying to do it all in my own strength. And I learned to fully lean on God.

He didn’t move the mountain - He gave me the strength to climb it. 🙏🏼

Every workout. Every hard day. Every step forward. Sustained by grace.

I’m not who I used to be, and I’m still becoming who He created me to be.

I’m not done yet.

Still learning. Still growing. Still becoming.
And still walking with Him every single day. ❤️🙏🏼
