I saw an ad the other day for injections to rid of cellulite. Injections... 😳 It's just something I'm not willing to do. After dealing with extreme autoimmune issues due to implants, now having food sensitivities and still managing inflammation, I'd just rather not (personally). Now, if I wanted to eat super clean 100% of the time and fight against genetics, maybe my cellulite would diminish in sight a bit. Maybe... but I also don't want to do that over something superficial and natural - I'm a Ta**us and chocolate is a way to my heart.
The fat you see/"cellulite" are subcutaneous fat cells. They are generally harmless and sometimes useful when fighting certain diseases. They are generally not a cause for health worries. Visceral fat on the other hand is. That is fat that surrounds your organs and can be problematic and actually cause disease.
So, I have some fat cells visible on my legs. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Meh... I want the cake and I'd rather eat it too. 😋

"Che Fico!" - "Cool!" 😎
Happy Fall Saturday!!! 🍂
Today I can laugh at myself. I can actually do silly things and flex in a selfie without caring what other people may think of me. So, yah, it's ridiculous, but you know what else...? I have worked really hard to stay healthy and get back to where I feel good again. I have made major life-style and physical changes to be where I am today. I'm not ashamed of that. In fact, I want to encourage people to do the same. I've been more consistent in more workouts lately and it shows. Yes, physically, but MENTALLY. I'M SUCH A HAPPIER PERSON!!! And I can still have fun (I ate pizza for dinner 2x this week, ate about 4+ cupcakes from my kids bday... I also workouted and ate really good the other 75% of the time.
Health is not just physical, but a state of mind. Where do you rate yourself on finding a balance between the two?
How can I help guide you to a better balanced You?

YEEESSS!!!

The other day, one of you asked me, “How do I get close family members to respect my boundaries, like an early bedtime for myself?”

I can soooo relate!

But in my mind, there’s a flaw with how this question is set up.

We talk about boundaries as if they’re something we can set up and then expect OTHER people to honor.

It’s like building an invisible wall and standing on top of it just long enough to shout, “Hey! This is my invisible wall! You can’t see it, and you’ll probably forget it’s here, but do NOT cross it!”

Then we scurry back down to our side of the wall, thinking we’ve finally done it—we’ve created safety for ourselves by putting up that wall.

So… how well has that worked out for ya? ;) https://ericalayne.co/set-boundaries-you-can-honor/

Probably not all that well! Because our people are human (and they can’t actually SEE invisible things)!

Today I’m diving into semi-controversial territory with my take on boundaries, but it’s worth it(!), because I want to put the power back in your hands!

Join me here {https://ericalayne.co/set-boundaries-you-can-honor/} to learn about how to create boundaries YOU can honor and uphold. ❤️

I can’t wait to hear what you think! xo! Erica

Creating healthy habits is easy. Sticking to healthy habits is hard.
There is a process to changing behavior. There is literally a scale of preparation and readiness. To have a thought is one thing, and it's great! Yet, how are you going to choose to implement it day after day? 🤔
My Tuesday thoughts of awareness. 💐 😉

Every once in awhile you find a feeling so deep, so raw, so explicit that it means so much more than self. My empathy runs wild and true, and my heart rejoices in today's holiday!
Thanks for the kick ass ride, celebrating vibe and lots of burning sweat, and Happy Juneteenth!
I stand strong with the goodness of humanity. It's out there!

This couldn't be more true. It has less to do with what happens and so much more to do with how you handle what happens on the inside. How does your body and brain respond to what happens? Each one of has a different fingerprint and so we have different lines that are wired throughout our body. What is traumatic to one is not always traumatic to another and so on.
Image a world full of empathy. Empathy is a quality we often override and/or ignore due to our own stories. We ignore our own need for empathy as well as that for others. "Go gently" means just that. Go gently on yourself as well as others. What happened needs no judgement, it comes down to "how are you feeling?".

Trauma is not what happens to you; trauma is what happens inside you as a result of what happens to you.
—Dr. Gabor Maté

Do something that makes you feel refreshed today. Whatever it is. We need more refreshing moments in our life, but we must slow down to actually acknowledge what is or isn't soft on our soul. What are the things that make you feel refreshed? How often do you actually take the time to REFRESH yourself, your mind, your body, your spirit?
It can be something as simple as shaving your legs (I'm serious), or taking a yoga class, or actually sitting down to read a book, taking a walk by yourself. Whatever IT is, just do it. Take note of how it makes you feel. Strive to feel more of it.

These two right here... love them so much!! 1 being my husband, Rob, the other being the Mommy of Micah's best friend and future wife (his words), Monique. Through pandemic we all had the same commitment and desire to buckle down and do nothing, . And because of that, we got to do it together. Our whole families blended, husband's hang, all the kids hang, the moms hang and most importantly, we have been able to give the freedom of no kid hours by watching each other's children on a whim. We have become very close friends and I thank you both, Rob and Monique for supporting my ideas, my crying, my attitudes and my AADHD, and for loving and taking of care of my kids whenever and however possible.
Cheers to all the shenanigans, all the dinners, and playdates we've had together throughout these covid days.
