So I shopped like a crazy person 🤪 for our Labor Day cookout ... getting everything from fruits and veggies... to seafood and red meat... and my kid picked on his food like a baby bird until he got to THIS! 🥩🍖 That’s aight... this momma was ecstatic to see her baby sooo happy!😁🥰😍 Hope you had a bangin Monday... and wishing you a gorgeous TODAY!!! 🙌🏼 ❤️ Carmen #foodie #foodgasm #foodpic #instafood #foodstagram #getinmybelly #son #favoritechild #firstchild #onlychild #firstborn #tomahawksteak #tomahawk #tomahawkribeye #steak #steaks #itscarmentime #laborday2020 #labordayweekend

So, I was diagnosed with #hypothyroidism...

So, I was diagnosed with #hypothyroidism... Insane fatigue, brain fog, pains, migraines / vertigo, hair falling out, lump in my throat, face puffing up like a blowfish 🐡 depression, and feeling cold in the middle of Vegas summer ⛄️🔥 Been tolerating this for YEARS, because you know... I’m a mom and there’s always more important matters to take care of. But it finally got to a point where I was in TEARS just to sluggishly take care of my daily responsibilities. 😭😭😭 So I finally got tested and all test results point to HYPOTHYROIDISM. It’s been about a month and I’m slowly but surely feeling better. The throat lump is gone... I’m still a bit slo-mo but not totally FATIGUED... and my hair doesn’t fall out in clumps anymore 💁🏻‍♀️ Diet changes too... no more cookies and cakes, overindulging in soy products (I Love Tofu) and cutting back on cauli 🙁🙅🏻‍♀️ ... which made me sad at first, but I’d rather adapt than feel like death again! So this was my breakfast *and* afternoon snack... coconut milk chia pudding 🥥 , vanilla yogurt 🍨, blueberries, and a drizzle of almond butter (which I can only have in moderation now...) ... I’m sooo glad I can still eat most of the delicious stuff that I love! Finally - Please... don’t put off self-care. I know mommas often put their needs last, but this was a harsh reminder that we need to be at our best in order to take care of those who are most important to us!!! 💕 ❤️ Carmen #foodie #foodgasm #foodpic #instafood #foodstagram #chiaseeds #sweettooth #beyonddelicious #feedfeed #foodporn #healthyfood #healthyeating #healthyliving #vegan #veganfood #vegansofig #whatveganseat #healthyfoodporn #plantbased #poweredbyplants #smoothie_planet #protein #eatingclean #healthyrecipe #chiapudding #itscarmentime #thyroidhealing #thyroidproblems #thyroidhealth
