25 years later, we remember. 🇺🇸🫶🏼

This morning I went to Nathan Benderson Park here in Sarasota for the 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb & Day of Remembrance.

I did NOT go there planning to participate. 😂 I was just there to watch and document the event. Then I felt like I needed to at least do a few climbs.

A few somehow turned into 17 climbs, the equivalent of the 110 stories of one of the Twin Towers.🏙️

And believe me, I took my sweet time. 😂 I stopped. I rested. I ate. I drank. At 7 I thought I was done. Then I told myself, let’s just make it to 10. And once I got to 10… well, there were only 7 left.🤷🏼‍♀️

Somehow, I finished. 🥳

⏱️ 3h 18m
🚶‍♀️ 4.03 miles
⛰️ 1,182 ft elevation gain
🏢 17 climbs / 110 stories

Every time I wanted to stop, I reminded myself why we were climbing and thought about the victims and the first responders who answered the call that day.💔

What I thought would be an event I came to document became an experience I will never forget.✨

In memory of the 2,977 lives lost on September 11, 2001.🙏🏼🕊️

Twenty-five years later, we still remember. Never forget. 🇺🇸

Is getting help really “cheating”?🤨

I’ve seen that word used so many times when people talk about GLP-1s, and I used to understand why people might see it that way.

But going through this journey myself has completely changed my perspective.🤷🏼‍♀️

Medication isn’t doing every part of this for me. I still work on my nutrition, movement, strength, hydration and the habits I want to maintain long-term. 💪🏻But I’m also incredibly grateful to have another tool supporting me.

I’m losing stubborn fat, I’ve noticed less puffiness, and most importantly, I feel so much better in my own skin. 🤍

For Round 2, I partnered with SHED 💙. If you want to learn more about the program I’m personally using, you can find the details on my profile or in the first comment and use Vanessa100 for $100 off your first month.

What do you think: is accepting medical support “cheating,” or is it simply using the tools available to you?

Apparently I “took the easy way out.” 🤷🏼‍♀️

But my version of the “easy way” still involves weighing my food, learning portions, tracking my macros, making sure I get enough protein, building balanced meals, walking, working out when it’s hard and slowly building habits I actually want to keep.🤜🏻🤛🏼

And there’s another little win people don’t see: I used to be TERRIFIED of needles. Now being able to do this myself feels like progress all on its own. 🥹

It didn’t do the work for me. It gave me a tool to help me do the work.🥰

I’m partnering with Shed ♥️ for this part of my journey. If you’ve been curious whether it could be an option for you too, there’s a quick quiz you can take to see if you may be eligible, and my community can get $100 off the first month. You can find the Shed info through my profile and the link 🔗 in the 1st comment.

10 years living in the US 🇺🇸and Walmart is STILL teaching us things 😂

We just discovered that when you’re looking for something in the aisle, you can use the Walmart app to make the price tag FLASH so you can spot it faster 🤯

The amount of time we’ve spent staring at shelves looking for one tiny product… 😭

Did you already know this?! 👇

My first real Primark experience… happened in Orlando. 🇫🇷➡️🇺🇸😂

Funny enough, even though I’m French, I had never actually shopped at Primark in France! 🤷🏼‍♀️ It opened there after we moved to the US, but for years I kept hearing friends and family talk about it. And when we finally went back to France, let’s just say… Primark wasn’t exactly the priority. 🫣

So imagine my excitement when we were spending two days in Orlando for a soccer game and realized that the new Primark at Vineland Premium Outlets was having its GRAND OPENING the very same day. 🛍️

Patrick may have regretted coming with me somewhere around minute 3 😂… but I had so much fun discovering the store and finding some seriously good deals.

And somehow I walked out with 18 items for about $135 around $7.50 per item!

I understand the Primark hype now. 😂

Have you been to Primark before? Tell me what you always shop for there because I already feel like I need another trip.

Round 2 feels different. ✨Not because I did everything wrong the first time but because I learned SO much along the way....

Round 2 feels different. ✨

Not because I did everything wrong the first time but because I learned SO much along the way.

This time, I’m looking beyond the number on the scale. I’m focusing more on my overall health, building habits I can actually maintain, living my life along the way, and giving myself a little more grace 🫶🏼 when progress isn’t perfectly linear.

And one of the biggest changes? Having the right support around me. 🤗That’s one of the reasons I chose SHED for Round 2.

✨ If you’re curious about the program I’m personally using, you can find all the details on my profile + save $100 on your first month (Link in comment).

Now I want to hear from YOU:

If you could talk to Day 1 you, what’s ONE thing you wish you knew before starting your journey? 👇🏼

What I eat in a day while focusing on fueling my body not just eating less. 🥗💪

On my current health journey, I’m aiming for around 140g of protein + 30g of fiber a day, while making hydration, movement and balanced nutrition a priority.

With a smaller appetite, I’ve learned that I have to be more intentional about making what I do eat count especially now that I’m strength training again🏋🏼‍♂️ and want to support my muscle.

I’m currently using the GL🫛 program through SHED, and I love that the Pivot app comes FREE with the program 📱so I can keep track of my protein, fiber, water, activity, sleep and progress in one place.

💙 I also currently have $100 OFF your first month with SHED. You can find the details through my profile or comment INFO and I’ll point you in the right direction.

Now tell me: what’s hardest for YOU to hit consistently: protein, fiber or water? 👇🏼

Last week, the scale almost convinced me I wasn’t making progress.🥹

Then I opened my lab results.

💚 A1C: 7.1 → 5.4
💚 LDL: 105 → 90

As someone living with type 2 diabetes, seeing those numbers improve meant more to me than watching the scale move.🎉

It reminded me that progress isn’t always visible.

That’s why I keep focusing on the habits I can control every day: staying active, prioritizing protein and fiber, drinking enough water, and building routines I can actually stick with.

One thing I’ve appreciated about my journey with Shed 🤍is having tools like the free Pivot app to help me stay consistent.

If you’re curious about the Shed program I’m using, I have an exclusive offer that saves $75 off per month for your first three months. Comment INFO ⤵️ or visit my profile for more details.
