Unintentionally took a break the last 3-ish days. Started Thursday with a family emergency that continued into Friday and Saturday. That meant limited food tracking, poor food choices, and truly no time to workout. It has lead to pure exhaustion. My challenge now is to navigate these loops that the world throws at me.…

I think it truly depends on how your brain works. If you need a short term goal, do that. But if you don't necessarily achieve it, is it going to affect your progress? Do you look at doing body measurements? Sometimes its easier to see the change in body measurement numbers versus the scale? Personally, I would need a…

Day seven and eight: I might have missed a check-in yesterday—oops! Busy life, but that happens, I guess. The last couple of days have been incredibly hectic at work, and it feels amazing to finally get home. Even then, there's not much time to relax. The routine goes: get home, make dinner, eat together as a family (which…

@devenmsmith this makes complete sense. I appreciate this. I think the hardest part is that my husband is a push over. Not going to sugar coat it. He picks the kids up from daycare and my daughter knows that she can annoy the crap outta him to get her way before I come home. Which leads to snacks before dinner. So I don't…

Day 6: First day of the new challenge, and wow, it definitely kicked my butt! Spent yesterday afternoon meal prepping, and it paid off—having protein-packed meals ready to go has been a game changer. Loving how they satisfy both my taste buds and my goals! Proud to hit my Apple Watch goals today and stay on track with my…

Day 5: Went over my calorie goal for the day, but that’s okay—today was all about leftovers and reducing food waste, which led to an abundance. I’m not letting it get me down! I’m almost 10 pounds down from my heaviest and feeling proud of the progress so far. Tomorrow marks the start of a 6-week challenge with a group of…

Setting realistic goals and creating a plan that aligns with your lifestyle is so important. Consistency really is the game-changer for long-term success. It's not about how fast you go—it's about staying steady and making it sustainable.

Day 4: Restarting my health journey with MyFitnessPal has been both challenging and rewarding so far. Today marked our final Christmas celebration, and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a bit nervous about how I’d handle the food. The day was hectic—running around, cleaning the house, and prepping for the in-laws. It felt…

Day 3 of this journey, and I’m proud to say I’m still under my calorie goal! I’ve been hitting my step goals and even made time to relax before a pre-bed workout to close that ring. Honestly, I’m surprised by how much energy I still have—I don’t feel as tired as I expected, which is a win in itself. I’ve also reintroduced…

Oh no that sounds super painful. Make sure you rest, elevate, and ice.

Welcome back! I am back after a long break. Excited to be back on the grind.

Welcome back! I'm jumping back on the wagon too after a few years off. Looking forward to getting back to the grind.

The biggest reason for starting this journey is the self-hate I’ve been carrying for far too long. A few weeks ago, a family member asked me to stop at the grocery store to pick up a few things for them. When I brought the items over, they said, "Oh no, it’s for you—so you can start making this detox drink to lose weight."…
