Walk With Me

We are in our kids’ sports era! I spent the evening running around practicing soccer and basketball with my kids and the coolest thing is I can run around with my kids and not be exhausted from it! When I was 240+ pounds, just walking around doing my daily life was hard. My feet hurt from the moment I woke up in the morning. My knees ached going up stairs. I couldn’t imagine a life where I was exe...

Let’s take a walk and chat about how investing in yourself is so worth the time and effort. I threw myself into motherhood and gave it my all. For YEARS. I don’t regret it, and much of it was necessary because I had a high needs baby and practiced attachment parenting, which I’m so thankful for. But the mistake I think some of us make is pouring so much into kids that we don’t think we don’t have...

I’ve been maintaining my weight for six months! And after taking compounded tirzepatide for almost two years, I am ready to start weaning off of it. My brain without meds is messed up around food. I didn’t realize it before starting the meds, but once I did, it was clear that my eating had become disordered. My brain impulsively made me eat anything and everything without being able to slow down e...

We all have the same 24 hours in a day, right? So why are some of us spinning our wheels day in and day out and living for the weekend because there’s barely time to survive during the week? Especially with kids in the mix and all that comes with being a present and loving parent, it can feel like there is literally no time in a day to spend on your own self care. Add on things like medical issues...

Back with another episode today to share more about how to grow muscle! I lost 100lbs using a glp-1 medication in about 10 months. I drastically altered my diet and started moving my body. When I reached a healthy weight for my height, I was so surprised that my body didn’t look the way I thought it would. Here I am in May 2024 after losing 100lbs and about 140-145lbs. I have come SO FAR. It almos...

Happy New Year! I’m so glad to be back here with Episode 16 of my walking podcast. It’s a cold, chilly afternoon here in Texas with a lot of wind which makes this episode a little windy, but we’re all moving and grooving so I hope you don’t mind! The holidays were filled with family, fun, and relaxation which was just what we needed. I laughed looking at this picture because I used to try to hide...

On today’s 2.75-mile walk, I dive in to the hard work that has happened behind the scenes to lose 125lbs which *spoiler alert* are a lot of the same things people do when they lose weight naturally. Weight loss medications aren’t magic. You don’t just lose weight instantly when you take them. But they are an amazing tool that helps rewire the brain so that people who have disordered habits with fo...

Join me on this 2.4-mile walk while we talk about how to stay focused on your goals even with things are out of your control. It’s the day after the election and we also just hit the one year anniversary of my husband’s stroke. I have a lot of thoughts about how we keep moving forward when challenges come our way. It’s been a busy couple of weeks for us, and I’m proud that I’ve been able to contin...

Join me on a 2.6-mile walk on a beautiful fall morning to talk all about how I fully enjoyed a Disney World vacation without worrying about my weight or backtracking on my health journey. We thoroughly enjoyed spending a week at Disney! I ate ice cream every day and enjoyed seasonal treats and have zero regrets. Some links to things I mentioned on today’s episode (some may be affiliate links where...

On today’s 2.6-mile walk, we chat all about food! I share our family’s philosophy on food, foods I ate that caused me to gain weight, foods I ate every day on my weight loss journey, low carb swaps I make, and so much more! Some links to things I mentioned on today’s episode (some may be affiliate links where I earn a small commission, but these are all things I use and love!): * Today’s outfit -...

Today’s 4.2-mile walk is loud because I tried a new route- I won’t do that again! We chat about the transition from intense motherhood with babies and littles to parenting big kids with time and energy for finding your own joy outside of motherhood. Some links to things I mentioned on today’s episode (some may be affiliate links where I earn a small commission, but these are all things I use and l...

Today we’re doing a 2.6 mile walk and talking all about what it’s going to take to maintain my 120lb weight loss. It’s been a big week of news for weight loss medications with the FDA taking Mounjaro and Zepbound off of the shortage list, which means compounding pharmacies are no longer legally allowed to produce the compounded version of the medication that I have used for the past 14 months. I h...

On today’s 3.3 mile walk, I’m sharing my experience using a GLP-1 on my weight loss journey. I started compounded tirzepatide in August 2023 and have since lost 120lbs. I’ll share why I decided to take a medication for weight loss when I am generally very conservative about using any medication, how I decided which one to take, where I got it, what dosages I used, side effects, and more! Some link...

Consistency is where the magic happens! One great week won’t make you healthy. One bad day isn’t the beginning of the end. It’s all of the small, daily decisions we make over a long period of time that build the life we want. Consistency trumps motivation and willpower. It’s seriously my best piece of advice for anyone on a journey to a better self. Some links to things I mentioned on today’s epis...

Join me on a 4-mile weekend walk as I talk about how I went from a person who never spent any time taking care of myself let alone exercise to someone who enjoys a life full of self-care and exercises 90+ minutes a day…and (the shocking part)…enjoys it!!! Here’s the only snap I got of when I played Pickleball with real people for the first time! Next week, I’ll try to be brave enough to get a self...

Join me for a 2-mile morning walk while we catch up after vacation! I chat about getting new workout clothes for fall and signing up for a new Pilates program. Links (some links may be affiliate links where I earn a small commission, but these are all things I own and love!): * Workout romper I wore today- it’s so cute! I’m wearing a medium- recommend sizing up if you have a longer torso like me....

Walk with me and hear the sounds of the city, hear me almost get hit by bikes in the bike lane, and hear me talk to a real live pigeon lady. So many adventures to be had in New York City! We’ll chat about having a positive outlook on life, intuitive eating, how glp-1 medications calm down the brain, and more as I walk almost 4 miles before hitting the town for sightseeing with my family. I ended t...

Join me on a short walk in Niagara Falls while I have many emotional outbursts over the beauty of the falls, the sunrise, black squirrels, pine trees, and Canada geese. The weather was amazing on this gorgeous day, and I ended up doing about 1.5 miles walking and 2.5 miles running before we set out as a family to explore the falls. We’ll chat about how Niagara Falls reminds me of Las Vegas, all of...

On today’s short cooldown walk, we talk about being an expert on yourself and using trial and error, intuition, and real-time data to guide decisions that help you build a life you love. I fit in today’s walk before we hopped on a plane to New York for the week. We’re off on some super fun adventures! We have to pack for some nature and hiking adventures and also for exploring New York City. We’re...

On today’s 1.7-mile walk, I’m sharing about the basics of walking. I know, I know, walking IS basic. But when I started walking there were so many things that had to happen for me to be able to take a walk. So I’m breaking it down. We’ll talk about everything from when to walk, what to wear, what shoes, options for making it more challenging, and more. You can check out a bunch of my walking favor...

On this 2.7-mile morning walk, I'm sharing how I got started with exercise when I weighed 240+ pounds. Summer 2023 was when I finally got sick and tired of being sick and tired. We took a trip to Louisville, KY and the seatbelt on the airplane BARELY fit. I knew that I’d have to get a seatbelt extender if I gained any more weight. I’ve always carried my weight in my bottom half and my booty just k...
