๐๐ฒ๐น๐น๐ผ 2025 - I'm so happy you are here! ๐ฆ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ผ๐๐๐น๐!!
To be honest, 2024 was the toughest year of my life. But you know what? I made it through/we made it through, and now Iโm stepping into 2025 with hope, purpose, and a fresh start.
I couldn't sleep thinking about this New Year and what I want to do with it!
This year, Iโm making some big changes for myself and my family, focusing on our ๐ณ๐ฎ๐บ๐ถ๐น๐, our ๐ต๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น๐๐ต, and our ๐ณ๐ฎ๐ถ๐๐ต. Life may have thrown me off track, but Iโm determined to reclaim what Iโve lost. Hereโs what Iโm working on:

For years, Iโve battled memory issues and relentless brain fog. Itโs been scary enough to wonder if dementia might be in my futureโand Iโm not exaggerating. This year, Iโm prioritizing my brain health and doing everything I can to clear the fog and sharpen my focus.

Over the past five years, Iโve gained 40 pounds. Itโs time to shed that weightโnot just to look better but to feel better. Iโm ready to take control of my health again.

Weโre aiming to eat clean 80% ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ถ๐บ๐ฒ this year. That means:
๐๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ป๐ด: sourdough, kefir, kombucha, sprouts, and raw milk.
๐๐น๐ถ๐บ๐ถ๐ป๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด: seed oils, processed foods, artificial dyes, sugars, and non-sourdough breads.

One of my biggest goals for 2025 is to read through the Bible in chronological order. A friend shared an amazing free plan, and Iโm starting it this week! Want to join me? Letโs do it together.

To kick off the new year, Iโm doing a **three-day fast**. This is something Iโve done before (usually for five days), and this year, Iโm aiming to do a three-day fast monthlyโor at least every other month.
๐ช๐ต๐ ๐๐ฎ๐๐ - Check out some of the incredible benefits:
**Weight Loss**: Up to 7 pounds in just three days.
**Improved Insulin Sensitivity**: Great for regulating blood sugar.
**Reduced Inflammation**: Relief for conditions like arthritis and autoimmune diseases.
**Cellular Repair**: Boosts autophagy, where the body recycles damaged cells.
**Brain Function**: Enhanced focus and cognitive performance.
**Other Benefits**: Detoxification, better heart health, and increased metabolism.
**Important Tips for Fasting**:
- Stay hydrated! Drink plenty of water.
- Break your fast gently with small, easy-to-digest foods.
- Listen to your body and consult a healthcare professional if you have any medical conditions.
Iโm so excited for what this year holds and the transformations it will bring. If youโre on a similar journeyโor if youโd like to join me for Bible study or fastingโletโs connect! Letโs make 2025 a year of health, growth, and renewal.
๐๐ฎ๐๐ ๐ฏ๐๐ ๐ป๐ผ๐ ๐น๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐: Iโm stepping out of my comfort zone and starting to create Reels/Tic Toks to document our journeyโeverything from reclaiming our health to saving my brain from the abyss to our daily life and everything in between. Itโs going to be real, raw, and hopefully inspiring. I am calling it: #๐ ๐ฎ๐บ๐ฎ๐๐๐ผ๐ฒ๐๐ง๐ต๐ถ๐ป๐ด๐ #๐๐ป๐ด๐ถ๐ฒ๐๐ผ๐ฒ๐๐ง๐ต๐ถ๐ป๐ด๐
Will you follow me? I'll post the Iinks beIow!
