#jedentageinbisschenstärker
Als Mama von zwei Kleinkindern weiß ich, daß im Alltag oft die Zeit (und teilweise auch die Idee) fehlt, sich um das eigene mentale Wohlbefinden zu kümmern. Wir sind uns oft darüber im Klaren, daß wir was ändern wollen, zeitgleich wissen wir, daß radikale Lebensveränderungen nicht drin sind. Müssen sie aber auch gar nicht! Denn jeder noch so kleine Schritt in die richtige Richtung ist ein Grund zur Freude! Und um diese kleinen Schritte soll es im Mai bei @meinstarkeskind gehen.
Ich habe mir 31 Mini-Challenges überlegt, die mich ein Stückchen aus meiner Komfortzone holen. Manche kosten mehr Überwindung, manche weniger. Es sind kleine Dinge, die den Alltagstrott durchbrechen und die Selbstwahrnehmung schulen sollen.
Wenn Du auch Lust hast, Dich ein bisschen selbst herauszufordern, mach mit! Ich freue mich! Deine Fotos, Gedanken oder Erfahrungen kannst Du auf Instagram posten. Versehe sie mit #smallsteps und dem Tages-Hashtag, dann sehe ich Dich auch. Oder Du tagst mich einfach @meinstarkeskind.
I’ve failed before I can even see a loss. Ate $10 with of a McDonald’s for breakfast today. Drank hardly any water. Had all the carbs for lunch and over two bottles of wine tonight.
I have no idea where to start. I wish I could say I believe in this journey and that the process could work but I’m so skeptical right now. I don’t believe in myself. I am so ashamed of where I’ve let myself get I don’t know that I can ever see myself getting out of it.
Having no one, and I mean no one, who understands what it’s like to be morbidly obese and at such a low in your life that suicide has been a thought is a very hard thing to go through. Especially alone.
I went on vacation recently with my sister. We did a lot of hiking and every time I was out of breath and had to stop she would just turn around and stare at me. She would pretend like she needed the break but she didn’t. If she was with an average size person she would have never been slowed down. She would have been able to see and do so much more.
I need to find my way out of this deep, dark, alone place I’m in. Even if you don’t believe, please pray for me. I need all the help I can get.

Day 22/100
#the100dayproject#pourpainting#100daysofpourpainting#the100dayproject_ukeedays
Today I took the time to mix up a bunch of paint. I also grabbed a case of jars. I was going to get some plastic cups with lids to save from disposing daily but then figured I would spend 3$ more and get glass. Now I can reduce my plastic use.
I saw a small strainer for the sink drains in the store today so I tried the strainer pour today.
I think I like it. It definately has a different look to it. Also I had no white in the pour cup just on the canvas and it really came through.
Success today. Oh who an I kidding, success every day cause I love my life. Flaws and all!

Sometimes the smallest step in the right direction ends up being the biggest step of your life.
Tiptoe if you must, but MY DARLING......TAKE THE STEP! 👣
It’s easy to take for granted the little things that come some simply to most of us. We are working on it every night and f#%% some nights are harder then others BUT we aren’t giving up 👊🏼💙 #jack#myfighter#smallsteps
I have a girls trip coming up in June and I was just thinking about how awesome it would be to stop messing around with my nutrition and workouts and go on this trip feeling like my healthiest and best self... 💋
You know that pair of jeans you have hanging in the back of the closet? The pair that is a little too tight and doesn’t quite fit any more? Or maybe you bought them on clearance even though they were a size too small (like I did) but had mad determination to get into them. 🔥 It might not even be a pair of jeans, maybe it’s a skirt, or a pair of shorts, or even a swim suit?? 🤷♀️ Doesn’t matter. Pull them out of the closet/dresser because it’s time to get into them!!! 😍 Seriously. Im pulling mine out and hanging them up because I want to be in mine before June 20th. Do you want to do this journey with me?? 🙋♀️ Post a picture of the item you want to get into it back into to hold yourself accountable. 😘😘 Lets do this!!! #onesize#onesizefitsall#skinnyjeans#shrinking#sizedown#healthjourney#jeansdenim#getfitstayfit#closetgoals#smallsteps#bigchanges#booknerds#bookworms#runnergirls#projectme#growthmindset#tattooedwomen
Everyday I’m trying to be better. Some days are harder than others, but I’m not perfect. I’m going to give myself grace and a good pep talk before bed and hope for tomorrow to be even better.

When you look in the mirror and mentally feel different and better about yourself! First fucking step! #selflove#mentalthenphysical#smallsteps 💪🏽💁🏽♀️my thighs thick tho 👀😬
Meet my cousin Melissa!! When I first made the decision to better myself, I was constantly seeking motivation to workout and eat better.
If I didn’t “feel” like it, I didn’t do it.
I’ve learned that I’m never going to just wake up and all of a sudden “feel” like it. CONFESSION: I’m hardly motivated but I know what I want to accomplish and I refuse to let anything- including myself- get in the way.
There’s no secret. Stop looking to boost your motivation and just DO IT. Success comes from doing what you have to do whether you’re motivated or not.
👋
Don’t ever give up. Don’t let frustration knock you down. Don’t let fear stand in your way. Don’t let time get in your head. Who cares how long it takes or how many times you try? Your only competition is YOURSELF. And when you finally succeed/reach your goal, the struggle will be all worth it.
💚
Weight loss is 100% MINDSET.
80% nutrition, 20% active lifestyle.

Since we were on the subject of sugar and another natural sweetener is syrup I thought I'd share the syrup I switched to a while back... this organic syrup has one draw back and that is price! It's expensive! I held off on the switch for a bit but didn't feel right about it. My kids go through syrup like crazy! Sooo I tell myself it's money well spent! You cant put a price on health especially your children's health. I'll do anything for my kids! ❤🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️
There was a coupin for it this week too!

• built to last • who knew washing dishes could look this good? I found this brush at a local green living shop. It's made entirely of plant materials and metal, and designed so you can replace the head when it's worn out and pop on a new one. The handle can have a very long life, and the used heads can be composted, allowing them to return to the earth and start their lifecycle over again! 🌿So much better than plastic sponges are dish brushes that pile up in landfills when they're too worn out to be used. Plus when you wash your dishes with plastic items, small bits of plastic get washed down the drain too 😧 switching to natural household items is better for the earth and saves you money because they're not designed for a short lifespan than encourages more consumerism (which is the case with so many cheaply made items nowadays) but instead are built to last. So next time a common household item needs to be replaced, do yourself a favor and opt for the green alternative. There are so many resources out there that there's no reason not to! 🌻🦋♻️🌎🌻🦋♻️🌎♻️🦋🌎

Day 22 - Small Steps @theblurtfoundation #blurtselfcareathon so a few of the Mum squad decided to sign up to a tough mudder in October on day 22! I’ve organised us a shared calendar so we can try and train together when we are available! I’m going in hard and taking some big steps but it took lots of little ones to get where I am now! #mentalhealth#awareness#doingittogether#fitfam#milfsquad#smallsteps#giantleaps
