Margz, sushi and private planes......HAPPY FREAKING BDAY @coreycarlsonn 💙 (it was actually yesterday but got to late to post) We spent yesterday sippin’ margaritas, eating amazing sushi at @uchidallas and topped it off with a private flight over the Dallas skyline. That’s a rad birthday if you ask me. . . **side note** @uchidallas is THE sushi spot for gluten-free peeps. Their servers are incredibly knowledgable about what contains gluten & they have endless options. Also just order the brussels and thank me later. . . Remember to listen to the newest episode of @straightuppaleo that came out yesterday! If you’re curious about my journey through different diets and dealing with weight gain (that I haven’t really lost), give it a listen. Link in my profile to learn more about the retreat too!! . . . . . . . . . #sushi🍣 #sushiroll #glutenfreefoodie #glutenfreerecipes #glutenfreeliving #glutenfreegoodness #glutenfreegirl #paleolove #paleoapproved #healthydinner #healthyrestaurant #keto #weightgain #bodylove #selflove #loveyourbody #loveyourskin #podcasters #newepisode
Spent the morning doing a mini goal setting sesh w/ @coreycarlsonn followed by a nice long walk and this rando breakfast☀️ I’m currently cleaning out my fridge bc we’re headed to HAWAII on Monday. Yes....Hawaii 😍 It’s a self-development retreat I’ve been dreaming of going on since I was 13. I saved up all the money myself too, so I’m not gonna lie I’m really proud of myself. I have a feeling this trip is going to change my life (not to be dramatic or anything 😂). Very excited to share the aftermath. . @christinaricewellness & I are hosting our own retreat in August though! The first ever SUP retreat!! A full weekend of food, workshops and workouts in Austin, TX. We’d love to see you there so click the link in my bio for more details or feel free to reach out ☺️ . . . . . . . . #paleobreakfast #paleolife #paleogirl #paleofood #breakfastclub #glutenfreediet #glutenfreefood #nutritioncoach #podcaster #selflove #retreat #hawaii🌴 #vacationmode #healthywomen #selfdiscovery #lifechanging
@ascensioncoffee ........ I love you. Thanks for having options for my boujee, paleo-ish self. I got the paleo breakfast bowl + gluten free avocado toast and a hemp milk latte. I also tried taking some full body pics but ended up looking like a washed up fashion blogger. My outfit didn’t even match. I think I’ll just stick to food 👍🏻 (they make for some great bloopers though), . Have a good Sunday, friends ❤️ . . . . . . . . #paleo #paleobreakfast #granola #granolabar #paleobowl #coffeebar #avotoast #avocadolove #avocadotoast #healthybreakfastideas #healthybreakfast #healthygirls #healthcoachlife #glutenfreebreakfast #yogurtbowl #berries #carbsarelife #sundayvibes #lazysundays
How to have an awesome day: . 1. Play a bangin’ EDM song- like the ones in my IG sorry 💃🏼 . 2. Drink a giant beverage- I like matcha 🍵 . 3. Eat a big ass salad- like this chicken cashew caesar 🥗 . Works every time. . . Also a new episode of SUP might help 👍🏻 This week on @straightuppaleo we chat inflammation weight vs regular weight gain. I know this is a topic of interest to a lot of y’all so hope it helps! We also cover eating healthy while traveling abroad. Listen on ITunes, Stitcher or straightuppaleo.com!

OVERCOMING FOOD GUILT . You can say Austin did me dirty 😜 I ate and drank so many things I probably wouldn’t have a on a day to day basis. And while I physically don’t feel so good (working on that), mentally I’m as cool as a cucumber. I prefer to live my life with out post-vacation food guilt. Here’s a couple tips on how I do this: . 🍦I go into it with no food expectations. I definitely have some strict guidelines (like no gluten) but I remove the thought that my meals have to be perfectly balanced, that I can’t have sweets, that I can only have X amount of drinks, and so on. If I don’t have any expectations...I can’t feel guilt in the first place. . 🍦I enjoy every single second of it. I really focus on being present with the food. Take the time to taste it, savor it and enjoy it instead of rushing through the meal or just eating to eat. This helps me appreciate the food and how blessed I am to have the opportunity to eat it. . 🍦When the vacation is over, I go back to NORMAL eating. Stop thinking about how many calories you ate and how it’s time for a post-vaca juice cleanse. No need to fast for 3 days or dramatically cut food portions. Just listen to your body’s natural signals. If you’re not hungry don’t eat, and if you are then EAT! The quicker you jump back into routine the better you’ll feel! . This morning I woke up, went to the gym and ate as if the Austin never happened. I feel no guilt, no shame, just JOY for the amazing time I had and my body’s ability to reach balance again! Happy Monday friends 💗 . . . . . . . . . . #effyourbodystandards #effyourbeautystandard #effyourhealthstandards #bodypositive #bodypositivity #bodypower #celebratemycurves #celebratemysize #allbodiesaregoodbodies #bodyacceptance #choosehappiness #chooselove #loveyourselffirst #paleoish #eatthefood #healthygirls #healthyish #imnotperfect #progressnotperfection
Austin trip highlights: -This avo toast on GF sourdough from @picnikaustin 🥑 I live for that bread. -Meeting some amazing humans in the flesh at paleo Fx: @realfoodwithdana @nutritionwithkate @thecastawaykitchen @christinaricewellness @rgrnutrition @theautoimmunegirl @mindpumpadam @mindpumpjustin @mindpumpsal @mindpumpdoug @somnifix . -Drinking one too many cocktails at @rooseveltroomatx -GF Mexican food heaven at @atx_cocina -Endless walks around Lady Bird Lake & a trip to the farmers market. . . @coreycarlsonn & I wanted this to be a more chill trip and it totally was. No intense schedule, just going with the flow and planning as we go. I basically have a permanent food baby but hey it’s worth it 🙌🏼
👍🏻I GAINED 20lbs & IM COOL WITH IT #longcaption The #1 question I get: “how do I accept my body since I’ve gained weight? . On the right- I was at 12% body fat, 122lbs, and in the best shape of my life. I was also exhausted, constipated, counting macros, having emotional breakdowns every week, getting sick every month or so, following a restrictive keto diet, binging and purging, isolating myself from humans, and acting like a psychopath. Ask @coreycarlsonn if you don’t believe me. . On the left- 145 lbs, 28% body fat, 5lbs more muscle, eats a non-restrictive Paleoish diet, enjoys a tequila soda every now and then, works out for fun, smiles more, connects with people, lifts herself up, practices self care, acts out of health, is in a healing process and doesn’t give AF about the weight. (I was also on my period...fun times 😂) . . I’ve gone back and forth about sharing this photo because “I didn’t gain that much weight so people might not understand.” “I wasn’t super skinny before so it doesn’t look that extreme.” “The picture of me now isn’t the best and I wish it looked better.” But fuck it lol . . Bottom line is...I was extremely unhealthy and a borderline psychopath when I chased looks over health. You don’t have to gain weight to be healthy. Not at all. This is for the girls that have gained weight on their healing journey but can’t seem to love themselves. It’s for the girls that turned psycho after counting calories to look like I did on the right. Your relationship won’t get better when you lose 20lbs, you won’t make more money or follow your dreams when you have nice thighs. It happens when you don’t give af about that stuff and focus on improving your LIFE. . . If that sounds like you, I want you to know it’s possible to love yourself at your heaviest. Once I let go of looking perfect I gained 20lbs. I also got my life back, learned how to laugh again and how to BELIEVE in myself again. Let EXPERIENCE rule your life...not appearance 😘 . . . . . . . #dallas #dallastx #dallasblogger #dallasbloggers #dallasfood dwfinfluencer #dallasevents #DFWblogger #bishopartsdistrict #lovemyuptown #uptowndallas #loveplano
