Checking in with my progress · Thrive Again With Kelli

Checking in with my progress

Just checking back in with a little update. We're now in the second week after half term, and things definitely feel a little calmer.

This week has been far from perfect, but it has felt much more intentional.

On Monday and Tuesday, I had one of the most satisfying breakfasts I've had in a long time. Wholemeal toast with a thin layer of cream cheese, smashed avocado, poached eggs, a sprinkle of Himalayan salt, black pepper, lemon juice and a few chilli flakes. It kept me full for hours and felt like a real act of self-care rather than just grabbing something quickly.

This morning was a bit more rushed, so I adapted instead of giving up. I had natural Greek yoghurt mixed with vanilla protein powder, sliced banana, a drizzle of honey and some almond flakes. It wasn't the breakfast I'd originally planned, but it still felt nourishing and balanced.

I've also been enjoying warm water with a pinch of Celtic salt, fresh lemon and a little honey. I find warm water much easier on my digestion than cold water, especially first thing in the morning.

Supplement-wise, I'm currently taking:

• Magnesium for energy and reducing aches and pains

• Vitamin D with biotin after recently discovering I was severely vitamin D deficient and completing my loading dose

• Folic acid with B12 and vitamin C, as my folate levels often sit on the lower side

• Today I'm also starting red clover and white sage to see if it helps with the night sweats I've been experiencing

One thing I'm really learning on this journey is that consistency doesn't have to mean perfection. Sometimes it's the ideal breakfast. Sometimes it's the adapted version. Both are still a win.

Also, if anyone notices the Christmas trees on my glass in the photo... all of our non-Christmas glasses seem to have been smashed over the last year, so we're currently drinking from Christmas glasses all year round! 🎄😂

I'd love to hear how everyone else is getting on. What's one small thing that's been supporting your health or energy this week?
