My New Ending on Instagram
👟Brisk Walk ❄️Cold Temps 🏘 Neighborhood Holiday Decor Going Up ... It was a lovely way to start my day and week! 😍In May we honor those who paid the ultimate sacrifice by dying for our country, but today we honor everyone who signed on the line and said they would do the same if necessary. ❤️🇺🇸 No service is too small to be deserving of my gratitude and so I thank you. . . . #navywife #veteransday #navy #usmc #airfoece #army #coastguard #militaryreserves #nationalguard #godblessamerica #unitedstatesmilitary//Head Held High// Before I decided to take a break from this account I’d written a new blog post about a huge non-scale victory I’ve had recently. ✍🏻 It is posted now and there’s a link to it in my profile. . . . #mynewending #mneblog #holdyourheadup #youareworthit #nonscalevictory #weightloss #weightgain #healthylifestyle #emotionalhealth #mentalhealth #healthblogger #healthblog #em2wl #motherrunner #anothermotherrunner #dontquit #nevergiveup #onestepatatime #keepingitrealI’ve been a bit overwhelmed by scrolling through all the health advice and what is working for everyone and have decided this is what I need right now. 💙 Change requires patience as a person adapts to the new. As a person who has moved every 3-4 years for pretty much all my life I’m familiar with the process. However, it doesn’t always make it easy. 📚 I’ve heard much about this book, and finally decided it was time for me to read it. _______________________________ So, you won’t see me on here for a while, but I have not given up; in fact, my scale is trending downward (for those that follow me for my health journey.) I am continuing the fight...just in a slightly different way right now. 💞 Happy Autumn!//My favorite caffeinated mix in a new mug. // Recently I was asked if there is anything I absolutely won’t give up food-wise in my eating plan. —> My answer: Half n Half in my coffee. 🍶 _______________________________ I gave up flavored, sugar laden creamers years ago, but I will always make Half n Half fit into my food budget. 😍☕️ It’s worth it every time! . . . #nationalcoffeeday #mynewending #mneeats #starbucks #frenchroast #casicielo #seattlesbest #coffeelover #morningcoffee #bestpartofwakingup #afternooncoffee #itscoffeeoclock #darkroast #espresso #dopio #affogato #thisgirlrunsoncoffeeandjesus #sustainablehealth #healthychoices #myfavorite #weightloss #weightgain #planformaintenance #makingitwork #mylifeWe still do. 💍 Celebrating 23 years of marriage today! _______________________________ On September 24, 1995 we were young and didn’t know much about “adulting”, much less marriage, but one thing we did know was to put Jesus as the head of our home. We both agree that decision and every little decision afterwards to serve Jesus and work on our marriage are how we have made it this far. ❤️ Here’s to continuing to make those decisions ‘til death do us part. . . #westilldo #iloveus #marriageisworthfightingfor #mynewending #throughthickandthin #mybff #myanchor #healthylifestyle #truelovewaits #madeforeachother #marriage365 #onedayatatime #ichooselove #jesusfirst #healthyrelationships
