So I’ve been struggling with eczema flair ups for the last three years. Mostly on my hands and feet, but it’s been progressing to my arms, lower legs and hips. I’ve tried topical treatments, antihistamines, steroids, you name it. . For a while I thought it was dairy, so I eliminated that...but I didn’t see a huge change. Then I thought, maybe it’s eggs. I still didn’t see a huge change, but it seemed a little better. . Last week I posted this delicious breakfast egg cup recipe and I ate it all last week. THIS WAS MY SKIN ON SATURDAY! 😬😳 It was angry to say the least. . I’ve been thinking about doing a mail in food sensitivity test for a while and this flair up was the last straw. I took the @everlywell test on Saturday, and got my results tonight. The results beak it down to high-moderate-mild-normal reactiveness. . The culprit? Egg whites!! 😭 Excuse me while I morn the loss of my favorite breakfast food.

5am club!! Well, technically 5:15 after I snooze. 🤪 But up and at it. This is my third week back into a morning workout routine and it’s getting easier and my body is expecting it. I’m feeling stronger...hopefully my clothes will start to feel looser this week! . One thing that helps me be successful is accountability. Knowing that I’ve told someone else I’ll be getting up early with them and committing to a ‘good morning’ text makes such a difference in my mindset. For whatever reason, I can break a promise to myself, but not a friend. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 🤣 Get yourself an accountability partner who believes in you, pushes you, encourages you and wants to grow with you. #crazyhairdontcare #mommasgotgoals #strongaf #creatingspaceforme #accountability #accountabilitypartner #5amclub #foodisfuel #feedyourbodyandyourmind #sweatsesh #workitout
All my favorites. It’s been too long since I’ve had a weekend to prep like this and I’ve missed it. Prepping my food for the week sets me up for success and helps get my head in the game. . I’ll eat the same thing during the day and alternate different proteins for dinner...homemade grilled chicken nuggets and beef stew. . Ready for the week. Are you? #foodisfuel #eattherainbow #myfavoritefoods #foodprepsunday #keepitsimple #quinoaeggcups #settingmyselfupforsuccess
It’s hard to feel successful when things are hard. I often associate success with perfection instead of progress. But it’s the progress that keeps us moving forward towards the perfection. Even if it’s a struggle. . I often want things to be easy and perfect. I want to feel successful and like I’ve achieved something. But the truth is, easy and perfect rarely equal success. The success is achieved by overcoming the challenges along the way. . I’m changing my perspective to embrace the struggle and realize that it’s part of my path to success. Personally, professionally, emotionally and physically. Embrace the struggle....that’s where I will see my progress. #creatingspaceforme #mommasgotgoals #strongaf #progressoverperfect #thestruggleisreal #embracethestruggle #personalgrowth #changeisgood #roadtosuccess #bemybestforthem

Another quick day trip. I snapped this pic expecting it to be a blur...but to my surprise, the skyline is perfect. #nyc #workworkworkworkwork #daytripper #homeforbedtime
