Weighed in this morning at 174, a NLW! Not only do I feel lighter, stronger, happier and healthier but my whole mentality to the creation of healthy habits in my life has not only been rewarding but fun! I’ve been approaching my weight-loss journey from the scope of self love and body appreciation. Whether I was bigger or smaller, I’ve maintained a good relationship with my body and food and seeing that compared to a year ago is insane. The no scale victories matter just as much as the weight loss and my strides in both is so awesome to see ✨

Wow, the last time I made a post was a year ago I believe but I’m back and officially ready to hit the ground running! These last couple weeks have been scary and unpredictable to say the least. The Coronavirus has affected each and everyone of our lives universally in someway, shape or form. Although it’s been crazy in so many ways, this virus has shown me what truly matters; it’s shown me just how much my current life needs to change for the better. I have taken my life for granted; from friends and family to my mental and physical health and that has to stop. I’ve even set aside aspirations and goals because I was so lost in constantly trying to push forward when all along my body and mind were screaming for me to slow down and enjoy life. So here I am, slowing down, listening to my body, listening to my spirit and flowing with it. Moving forward I can no longer take anyone for granted nor myself. I will use this time to take care of myself in all faucets of my life. To ground myself, to create and compete goals, to actively practice self care and self love, to put my mental and physical wellbeing first and to reconnect with loved ones. If the Coronavirus has taught me anything, it’s that past ways of living cannot remain the same; things have to change. The change that I want to see, begins with me. So here’s to reconnecting, listening, loving and living a healthier, happier new lifestyle✨
