One the best things my therapist told me,
“If you’re angry or regretful you’re living in the past, if you’re worrying you’re living in the future, if you’re content you’ll know you’re living in the present. And that’s when life all starts to make sense.”
And THAT my friends is what I hold onto…Every. Single. Day, now.
Walked in the moonlight this morning. 🌙 There’s something about early mornings that charge the soul & allow you to discover & reveal yourself.
I find I wake up now by 3 AM every morning no matter what day it is. I stopped, forcing myself to go back to sleep. 🙄
🚗🤭👉side note, I have made a bed in the back of my red Ford Ecosport. Her name is Ruby btw. She’s my bestie & I’m so grateful to have her as my sidekick during this season of life. She’s keeps me safe & gives me freedom. Bed kinda like this one 🙂 👇
I have made naps my new favorite thing during the day at lunch. I have also stopped forcing myself to stay up when I’m tired. My nap whenever it feels right. I sleep so peaceful in my car. Good thing I’m fun sized. 😂 (5’1 & 105 on a good day 😆 I can still hear my dad telling me I need to put some more lead in my ass Haha) Random thought & confession 🤷♀️
Where are all my nappers at?! 👋
I open up my fridge. 🥩🍖
We eating good up in this bish. Beef chuck roast & pork country ribs today from Sam’s Club. I’ll cut these up and air fry them. (Surprise surprise 😂)
Some thoughts about my current food & body. I really love my softer, yet still “athletic” physique. The former more “serious CrossFit athlete” Katie glimmers thru.
(you can scroll through my Instagram to see previous versions of myself. My personal healing & weight loss story is in the link in my Instagram bio) link: https://lilbitoffit.com/my-first-1-year-on-the-carnivore-diet-my-story-journey-transitioning-to-a-meat-based-carnivore-diet/
It’s much easier to maintain muscle & shape once you’ve done the due diligence to build it. That means you have to eat & train with intention Y’all. Not stepping on that soapbox, but somebody needed to hear it. In fact, probably a lot of you who are under eating.
I no longer judge or compare her to the former athlete, or any other former version of myself. I am really proud of every single version I have been. I want my energy to be good now, my digestion to be effortless, & to feel robust & healthy. I call it vibrational, living & eating.
That’s all I care about now. I don’t care about setting body goals anymore, but I am truly grateful for everything I’ve learned throughout all of my seasons…as someone struggling with bulimia, being underweight, being overweight, being a former competitive CrossFit athlete, runner, & everything in between.
Here lately I crave variety in my diet. Higher fat, carnivore than what I was used to. Less ground meat, more steaks, ribs & pork. I’ve been able to consume pork now without any issues in moderation. It’s amazing how the body transforms.
The air fryer is still BAE. His name is Abe by the way. He travels with me. I cook just about everything in him. He’s an instant Vortex 6 quart.
I laugh cuz I feel I’m at a “weird inbetweener” age at 41. I’m an old soul but have such a young spirit.
Stuck between young enough to do it often, old enough to do it right & old enough to know better, young enough not to care.
💁🏼♀️MOOD.
Anyone else?😆
Many times I’ve had to remind myself & ask what I’m living for & who I’m living for, & if none of those answers are ME, well then, I’m living the wrong life.
I’m weird as hell according to society standards. I own it with acceptance, love, & PRIDE, now.
I name all my plants, animals, favorite appliances, & things I use because I feel everything in life is alive, has energy, & deserves to be respected & loved.
Denim & Diamonds… image below taken of me by the talented Dave McKenna of Brownsburg, Indiana.
I love all things sparkly, lacey, & pearly. Recently bought these super EXTRA little girls pants size 14 from target yesterday. Totally don’t need them but they fucking make me feel so happy when I put them on. I literally sit in my living room with these pants on & feel like Jasmine in Aladdin. Another semi embarrassing confession, but again, idgaf.💖
I see & treat the janitor the same as I see a physician or someone highly affluent & “successful.” I see souls & energy first, not race, color, sex, sexual preference, or status.
Q from a follower: How do you make decisions & know what’s right for you?
A: you’ll have to feel your way but as far as for me, I’m a human design, manifesting generator profile 2/4 (google or YouTube it if you don’t know yours) I’m driven by my gut feelings/intuition. Warm/light/happy feelings=a YES, heavy/icky/forced/or cold feelings=a NO.
Feel into your feelings & body. There are your answers. I find now as far as food I’m less of a volume eater & more of a nourishment + energy management + experience eater. I no longer have bulimia or binge eat.
Some days I crave different foods or colors or textures. Some days i crave savory food, different textures, crispy food, creamy food, nourishing food, savory foods, cold food, hot food, denser foods, lighter food, sweet food, etc. Some days I want more carbs, most days I don’t & simply want meat.
Daily energetics. Some days I feel certain colors. Like brights or neons Or neutrals or specific colors and I dress & accessorize in those colors because they make me feel amazing, vibrant & share the emotions I’m feeling.
They make me more abundant, help attract more love, higher vibe people and places, feel happier, lighter, more joyful . Eating the foods I’m desiring also does this just like colors. A reason I don’t force things anymore like diets or workouts or jobs or wardrobes or people or my style.
(A reason I hate uniforms & HARD RULES for anything because this is society trying to control us & our creative, vibrational expression.)
If I can offer you anything today with this diary entry, one of the hardest lessons I’ve learned is that it’s MY JOB to create a joyful reality.
RECAP of last nights big life announcement if you missed it…
“Old keys don’t open new doors. BIG Life update!!!
Monthly vibe check for October: clearing out the cobwebs
I slowly started paying attention to the glimmers. ✨ The things that lit me up & made me feel sparkly & light & happy & joyful.
Taking note of the areas that felt stagnant & heavy.
I think it’s important to address how & why cobwebs & dust accumulate. It’s because we are avoiding or not seeing a process/place/people/etc we need to clear out.
Today (9/29/23) is also a full moon, which is a period of clearing & releasing.
Allow the change of seasons to clear out the gunk/corners/hard to reach areas. Open your windows, seasonally clean. Literally & figuratively.
I had to do this, too.
My BIG announcement as my time here in Quincy comes to an end…
I struggled with the comfort in extending my contract, or staying in Fishers, IN, or choosing the excitement/fear of another unknown adventure. (These still make me scared sh*tless.)
As you learn to lean in & trust, the Universe always shows you your path. Doesn’t mean it ain’t frustrating…trust me…I’ve been heavy & grumbly.
🥳But today, I officially accepted my next chapter & adventure, I’ll be moving to Omaha, Nebraska very soon for my next assignment with @aureusmedical at a family medicine practice starting November 6th. I’ll be there for 20 weeks into March!
Cannot be more PUMPED & grateful.
LFG🫶 Watch out Cornhuskers, this Boilermaker is comin in HOT!
💛🖤🤍🚂 🤍🖤💛”
Affirmation for you if it hits you in the feels at this moment in life. I know it does for me.
Cord Cutting for New Beginnings
“I release any & all negative past, present, & future energetic cords that are attached to me. I release any and all cords that no longer serve me. I call my energy back to me. I go forth new, recharged, healthy, happy, abundant, & full of love.”
Let everyday be YOURS, OWN IT, & NEVER APOLOGIZE for who you are.
