Thank you and for a night I’ll always remember! And a special thank you to for these memories in photos 🩷🧀
and for the most perfect space to gather in 🩷

02/27/2025

My gratitude is endless. For the community we’ve built here, and for the people who have showed up for me in ways I couldn’t imagine.
Last night was simply amazing. A fabulous cheese party hosted by , Miranda and Amanda I am sincerely grateful and thankful for you both. Flying in from different parts of the country to put on a party for me feels surreal when I say it out loud. Honestly, so freaking cool.
And to , which has been my safe space and where Stacey and Joanne have always made dreams come true. Stacey has been a mentor for me throughout FF and my friendship with both of them is something I’ll cherish forever.
I didn’t touch my phone once tonight, I was so present with all of you and so excited to be surrounded by you all.. so when Amanda told me that would be there to photograph and document the evening.. I could have cried. I have so much trust and faith in her and her incredible skill that I know these photos are going to be amazing.
My brain is like.. wait.. there was a professional photographer at a party that a brand threw for YOU? At your favorite place? With the community you’ve built and the coolest people? And loaded with CHEESE? Is this a dream? Is this IRL?
Seriously, I love you all. And my heart could burst from joy and gratitude.

What I ate on vacation while still practicing a “pre-diabetic” lifestyle (even though I’m not pre-diabetic anymore):

•Seafood Cobb Salad at the resort.. all ingredients were a go 👏🏻 : rock shrimp, lump crab meat, avocados, tomatoes, egg, pickled onions, blue cheese ❤️, crispy bacon, creamy mustard vinaigrette
➡️☀️I ate this on repeat because it was that good!
•Tomato, Cucumber, & Feta Salad with Grilled Chicken at Gran Forno
•Seafood Cobb again 😊
•Meatballs and Ricotta at Gran Forno (minimal breadcrumbs) no sugar sauce
•Resort Breakfast Buffet.. No Sugar Oatmeal with cinnamon, pecans, coconut (unsweetened) and berries, eggs with salsa, Manchego cheese, bacon, tomato and onion (hitting all the protein and healthy fat goals 💪🏻) / other buffet breakfast was similar but an omelette with mushrooms, peppers, onions, salsa and spinach
•Avocado and Cucumber Salad at Phatboy Sushi with sauce on the side and I removed the topping, I only used a small amount of sauce - sauce on side is always key so you can control the amount
•Sashimi from Phatboy Sushi, I do tuna and yellowfin - I don’t like raw salmon .. this was the freshest sashimi and melted like butter .. I mix wasabi and a splash of soy sauce with it 👏🏻
•not pictured: edamame and crispy bok choy from Phatboy Sushi // a nut, string cheese, and berry snack plate from my SIL house // a berry, whole milk, and lime smoothie at the resort (sounds weird but it was really good)
+ I don’t drink alcohol anymore and only stick to water, electrolytes, sparkling water and decaf coffee - when having decaf I ask for heavy cream - no low fat milks.
+ never be afraid to ask for an ingredient list and if there is sugar in something.. I’ve never been turned down or told it wasn’t available- asking is a tool that will help you decide on what’s best for you to enjoy. Have no shame! Your health comes first and you’ve worked hard for this 💪🏻
+ still love my LMNT electrolytes, easy to travel with and perfect on the go packets ❤️ 🚨yes I am aware there are other electrolytes too and no I don’t need your recommendations (kindly) 🚨

Some of this weeks dinners:

I’m still eating as if I am still pre-diabetic and trying to reverse it. **Why?**
Because I haven’t felt this good in years. I reversed my pre-diabetes in 3 months eating this way. No medication. Just letting food be my healer.
I focus on proteins, healthy fats, fiber, and fermented foods where I can. Zero processed carbs like breads and rice. The only “processed” food would chicken sausage but I make sure it is clean, minimal ingredients only. My carbs come from the main fruits I eat and from veggies. The only things I touch in the pantry are nuts, seeds, clean peanut butter, and my occasional clean granola.

Dinner 1: Chicken Sausage, Grilled Chicken, and Veggies sautéed in olive oil and butter (grass fed); seasoned with parsley, salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, and garlic.
➡️ I had mine as is with a side of salad // husbands and kids had it with rice

Dinner 2: Tacos- grilled flank steak & chicken, salsa, cojita cheese, sour cream, avocado, shredded cheddar cheese (we shred all cheese at home now), ginger garlic zucchini and roasted Parmesan broccolini
➡️ taco shells for them, and lettuce cups for me

Not pictured: I usually include a fruit serving with my meals (2 a day). It’s either apples and clean peanut butter, pears, or berries (peaches and plum when in season).

Today was another fridge clean out to make room for groceries. I ended up having left over fennel, cabbage, carrots, endives, and parsley. I chopped everything up, and threw it in a bowl. Then added some fresh garlic chopped (about 4 cloves), some salt (say 2 tablespoons), some white vinegar and red wine vinegar (a few dashes each), about a teaspoon of pepper, and then two spoonfuls of chopped Italian Calabrian peppers. I let that sit for about 10 mins after mixing it all together. Then I got a mason jar and added the entire bowl to a large mason jar (all the way to the rim). And then I added more white vinegar, another dash of red wine vinegar, and then topped it with two tablespoons of maple syrup. Put the lid on the mason jar tightly and gave it a good shake…
I have no idea how it will turn out but I stuck it in the fridge and we’ll let her marinate and revisit her next week.. something has to pickle right?
