Some days honestly feel like I’m just out here “fake it till you make it”-ing my way through life. 😅✨ But if there’s one journey I truly feel blessed to finally feel grounded and whole in, it’s this one. 1.Bettering my health 💪 2. Healing and working on the mental parts of me too. 🫶 These ph

Chicken thighs marinated in olive oil, taco seasoning, chili powder and a dash of cajun seasoning and a squeeze of a half a lime. I then wedge the other half in to the pan. This paired with cauliflower Spanish rice and topped with cilantro and some lime juice. Delicious! What did you have fo

The other day I ended up in the ER, and lately it feels like life has been a blur of doctor appointments for our whole family. With all the traveling back and forth, getting a hotel just made the most sense. While we were there, I took this photo. And honestly… my brain still struggles to cat

This morning and afternoon has been delightful. 💛 My family is my world. My peace, even in the middle of the chaos. Loud moments, endless laughter, random adventures, and all. I wouldn’t trade this crazy crew for anything. And of course… we can’t forget the little chipmunks that decided to gr

These photos are almost 9 months apart… and 65 pounds different gone and worked for. 💪✨ I made changes, stayed consistent, and used the tool that was right for me. And honestly… I haven’t seen myself like this in I don’t even know how long. 🥹 Am I done? Not quite I’ve got a little more I want

That hospital cup from my bariatric journey (01/07/26) really said “I’m part of the story now” 😂💛 Started as a little hospital cup… now it’s basically a full-on emotional support tumbler with history and attitude. 😄🥤

Some days, it’s the simple things that really hit getting outside for a walk, breathing in some fresh air, and spending my lunch with someone I love. It doesn’t get much better than that. And then… there’s a pug carrying around her water bottle like it’s her full-time job 😂 Random? Absolutely. B

Did Teeter make the whole walk on break?

So I finally stepped on the scale… and I’m officially down 8 pounds. This week? Not cute. Not easy. Definitely not the “thriving” era I had planned. But somehow… progress still showed up. Went from being stuck in a stall to eight pounds lighter like my body said, “hang on, I’ve been working b

MADE IT INTO THE 100 CLUB 🙌🎉 And let me tell you… this was NOT a “wake up one day and magically have it all together” situation. This was messy, emotional, hard, “hide from the scale” kind of work. 😅 But I stuck with it. I leaned on my tool my bariatric gastric bypass even on the days I didn’

Stepping out of my comfort zone posting this… because this stage? It’s not the ‘after’ yet. My 16s are getting too big, but my 14s still don’t quite fit right. And honestly, it’s a weird place to be. But you know what? I can feel the difference. In my body, in my energy, in my confidence.

Ever just want to toss the scale out the window because it clearly missed the memo? 🙃 First plateau has entered the chat, and apparently it brought snacks and decided to stay awhile. I would love to update to a new weight… but the scale and I are currently not on speaking terms. BUT reminding

The last few days have been a little tougher… low water intake left me feeling tired and with some head pressure 😅💛 A gentle reminder to keep those fluids going, no matter where you are on your journey. Your body will thank you! 💧 The good news? Today I’m feeling much better and back on track

Sunshine + wagging tails = pure happiness 🐶💛

Some weeks the scale moves more than others, but every step forward counts. This journey has been about learning patience, giving myself grace, and remembering that real change takes time. Momentum over perfection every single time.
