🎉 My birthday weekend was a good reminder of something I talk about with my clients all the time:
Healthy living doesn’t have to mean living perfectly.
I had GF donuts for breakfast. 🍩
I enjoyed champagne every day. 🥂
I got a pedicure with polish that isn’t part of my other usual low-tox lifestyle choices. 💅
And I spent A LOT of time laughing, celebrating, eating, drinking and enjoying my people.
Could I have made “healthier” choices every single time? Sure.
But would that have made my birthday weekend better?
Not necessarily.
Because health is about more than what we eat or put on our bodies. It’s also about connection, joy, celebration, laughter, relationships and creating memories.
One weekend—or one meal—doesn’t undo the healthy choices you make the rest of the time.
So enjoy the birthday donut. 🍩
Have the champagne. 🥂
Go to dinner with your friends. 🍽️
Eat the cake. 🍰
Get the pedicure. 💅🏼
And then… just get back to your normal.
No guilt. No punishment. No “I need to start over Monday.”
Just balance. ❤️
That’s what “all things in moderation” looks like for me.
