The Mini Miss K's 12th birthday was on Thursday! I was able to move my Thursday clients to Wednesday night (yay!), and we had Mom's spaghetti (Kyndal's fav) for her birthday family dinner. Here's me and the birthday girl ~ I just love her so much!! I've realized how much I love to celebrate the people who love to celebrate themselves! lol I always have and always will appreciate people who get excited about making a big deal of their birthday and embrace the belief that their life deserves to be richly celebrated!! I'm on that list. And Kyndal making us a detailed Google slideshow of her bday wishlist and spending the last couple months planning her party during family dinners puts her firmly in that category. lol #embracelife #youareworthcelebrating
She was looking so cute in her new leopard pants and pink shirt and birthday button. ❤
Mamaw with T&C!
Carter joined us for Kyndal's bday, so it was good to get caught up on his life and hear all of them catching up on the latest CHA-circle news.
MWC Sams did a slightly better job on this cake, but still not too impressed!
The Parrish boys! J's inability to hold the serious face makes me happy. =)
The Miss K and everyone else!
And finally, a happy through-the-years slideshow!!
I really love that song and feel nostalgic whenever I hear it, thanks to S.C. And I always call her "preshface" on the blog, so it feels appropriate! lol
Anyway, now that all the August events are over, all my best excuses for continually eating unhealthy foods are also gone. And as my own presentation reminded me, I'm. not. stuck. and I'm. not. a. helpless. victim. in any area - I have the power to make better choices that build new habits and create real change, and I'm taking that seriously. I don't love the trajectory I've been on lately with stress-eating and negative agreements (thinking patterns that are more aligned with the enemy's plan for my life than God's), and it's 100% up to me to fix that. I'm gonna throw it out here that my new goal is to actually reach the 155 goal weight Dr. Matt set for me last summer. Health is definitely not all about the scale numbers, but I was too quick to decide that number would be impossible for me. It isn't the impossible dream, and it would actually put me at a healthy BMI and probably a size 10, which would be awesome and not extreme or absurd. And I don't want to sell myself short by leaning into the old/familiar identity and limiting beliefs, so I'm leaning into new possibilities! Here's to being intentional about breaking terrible agreements, setting new goals, agreeing with God's plan for me, embracing a new way of seeing myself, and staying the freaking course. For the record, while we're on this topic, I'd like to be at 177 or below pre-pregnancy, then use wisdom and stay under 200 if God allows me to get pregnant... and then eventually (think 2027) push myself to reach 155 and try to maintain within 10 pounds of that + get 45 minutes of good exercise six days a week for the foreseeable future. Okay then, great talk! lol I am buckling down on healthy eating and training for my Route 66 Marathon Relay starting tomorrow! #getexcited #teamchettles
Hope you have a lovely Sunday ahead.
I love you and believe in you! And I believe in our ability to course correct,
and I'm confident God is with us and for us in whatever we may face today!
