In this episode today, we're taking a little trip down memory lane to 2010, the year I decided enough was enough, and it was time to shed those extra pounds that had been weighing me down—literally and figuratively. Back then, my goal was simple: lose weight. But as I dove into the world of weight loss strategies, tweaking them to fit into my busy life with young kids and a full-time job, I stumbled upon something much bigger—a way to live a healthy lifestyle that actually fit into my hectic schedule. This journey wasn't laid out for me in a neat, structured program. Nope, it was a lot of trial and error, late-night Google sessions, and sheer determination. But the payoff? Losing 40 pounds was just the start. I gained control over my life, no longer feeling like I was just surviving each day. I found a confidence I never knew I had, which even pushed me to start my own blog and turn it into a thriving business. And let's not forget about happiness—I felt more energized, focused, and genuinely happy in my own skin. Of course, life loves to throw curveballs. Fast forward five years into my journey, and I was navigating through some tough times—a divorce, the loss of loved ones, the chaos of Covid, and hello, perimenopause. Despite these challenges, I didn't fall completely off the wagon, thanks to the healthy habits and routines I had established. Even when I wasn't tracking every meal, I kept up with meal prep and exercise, finding solace in my routines and using them as my "me time." What really struck me, looking back, is how these habits stuck with me, almost like a safety net, ready to catch me even when I didn't realize I was falling. It's a journey that I know many of you can relate to. We're all trying to take care of ourselves amidst the chaos of life, balancing family, work, and a million other responsibilities. It's tough, but it's also why I wanted to share my story with you. I want you to see yourself in my story and to know, that if I can do it, and do it again, so can you!
