✨️✨️✨️ Coach Joanna here ✨️✨️✨️ Welcome back to My Weight Loss Journey! ⚖️ This week was a solid one—I felt like I was making more of the choices that set me up for success! ✅ Focused on getting my protein and packets in ✅ Committed to drinking more water 💦 ✅ Barely pulled off my meal prep (but hey, it got done!)—Shawarma chicken 🐔 and my fave roasted red pepper & cauliflower soup But let’s be real—there’s always room for improvement: ⛔ Food journaling—I know it keeps me accountable, but I slacked. ⛔ Timing my meals—eating early in the day is still a struggle. ⛔ Supplements 💊—organizing them is not my favorite task. 🙈 The win? Despite the challenges, I still had a loss this week! And even bigger—I’m officially down 20+ lbs‼️ A huge shoutout to my client who hit a major milestone this week. Her advice? "Even after a bad day or bad week, you have to show up. Just keep going and don't give up." And she’s right—this isn’t a sprint, it’s a marathon. Every single day, we check in: What’s going well? What needs work? And then we take action. This week’s game plan: 🟢 Stay consistent with my supplements 💊 🟢 Keep the water intake high 💦 🟢 Improve my meal timing ⏰ 🟢 Stay on top of meal prep I’m locking in my focus 🎯 and ready to tackle another week! Let’s do this. Stay tuned for next week's results 🎆 ‼️‼️⬇️⬇️Check out my latest video ⬇️⬇️‼️‼️

✨️✨️✨️Coach Joanna here ✨️✨️✨️ Welcome back to My Weight loss journey ⚖️ This week sped by and I was able to bounce over the speed bumps. My head was in the game and I wasn't letting anything derail me. Were there challenges? ⛔️ Yes Did I let that deter me? ⛔️ No I hear people say, oh well life is super hectic right now so I can't get on protocol... While this is valid excuse, the truth is, there will never be a good time. There will always be functions, events, holidays etc. and you can't hide from life. Even if you avoid social interactions while losing weight, you will still have these struggles come maintenance. The challenge is choosing what you want most; results or excuses. Do you want to eat junk, feel like 💩, feel disappointed with yourself and not achieve your goals? Or do you want to stick to protocol, feel amazing and proud while achieving your goals? Today, I am choosing the later. This week, my focus will be in 🟢 Getting all of my food in 🟢 Meal prep 🟢 Organize supplements I've got my head in the game, and I'm excited to do the things! Stay tuned for next week's results 🎆 ‼️‼️⬇️⬇️Check out my latest video ⬇️⬇️‼️‼️

✨️✨️✨️Coach Joanna here ✨️✨️✨️ Welcome back to My Weight loss journey ⚖️ The past couple weeks have been tough. I've been struggling with motivation and focus. I've been listening to the voices in my head. The voices that say ⛔️ This is too hard ⛔️ I will never actually reach my goals ⛔️ I've come far enough The truth is, not every week is easy. You're head isn't going to be in the game every single day of every single week. You are going to have to hold yourself accountable to yourself. You are going to have to force yourselves to choose the hard. Honestly, being overweight is hard and being skinny/healthy is hard. It all comes down to you and the hard choice is yours. In these moments where your doubt yourself and what you are capable of, it's common to go into hiding. You cancel your weigh in. You say your sick... And you convince yourself that you don't need the support. 🙈 🛑WRONG This is when you need the support more than ever. This is when you need to show up. This is when you go to your coach and say "I'm struggling!" And this is when your coach lifts you up, tells you those voices in your head are nothing but liars! That you can accomplish your goals! YOU CAN DO THIS! So I'm getting my head back in the game. I'm not throwing in the towel and I'm not giving up. Stay tuned for next week's results 🎆 ‼️‼️⬇️⬇️Check out my latest video ⬇️⬇️‼️‼️

✨️✨️✨️Coach Joanna here ✨️✨️✨️ Welcome back to My Weight loss journey ⚖️ Some weeks are good weeks, some weeks are bad weeks, and some weeks will just be weeks. This week was just a week. It wasn't good or bad. I was craving warmth and comfort...I stuck to the protocol, but over did it in some areas: ⛔️ too much cream (only allowed 1oz of cream a day, and I know I had more than that between coffee and soup) ⛔️ too many packets ⛔️ not enough water And another week came and went and I totally forgot about my food journal. This is a huge aide in my success, cause if I bite it, I write it, and that keeps me on track. This week, I really was just going through the motions and not being mindful. Even on a so-so week, you need to count your successes.... because stability is really half the battle. On a bad normal week, I would have gained weight. But this week, I stayed stable. So I will take that as a win. Plus last week was a bananza, so keeping that weight off rather than bouncing back up is huge! Despite the challenges I faced, I still can see where I was successful. It's so easy to focus on everything that went wrong and forget about the things that went right! ✅️ I stayed away from alcohol despite being tempted ✅️ I took all my supplements ✅️ I got all my food in ✅️ I did not CHEAT I'm hopeful for this next week to be a good one! I know what I need to do, and I just need to do it! This week I will focus on : ▪️limiting my intake-- no extras ▪️reaching for savory foods ▪️ food journaling ▪️ water 💧 Stay tuned for next week's results 🎆 ‼️‼️⬇️⬇️Check out my latest video ⬇️⬇️‼️‼️

✨️✨️✨️Coach Joanna here ✨️✨️✨️ Welcome back to My Weight loss journey ⚖️ Proof when you put your mind to it, your body will follow! This week was a great week. I did not let anything stand in my way! Was there temptation? YES Was there challenges? YES Was there times when I wanted to just throw in the towel and feel normal? YES But I knew I had to be on point this week. I knew after last week, I had to make this week count. AND I DID ✔️ Things that went well: ✅️ I stayed away from sweet treats 🍩. Yes a few crept in, but at this point it is a treat--not an every day ✅️ I took 100% of my supplements 💊 ✅️ I said no to alcohol when it was available and offered 🍸 ✅️ I managed to food journal every day 🌟Check out my food journal in the comments below 🔽🔽🔽 This week really came down to what I refer to ask a "WOOSH" factor. Last week, I had a really good week, and I didn't see the results I was expecting. Then this week comes along and BAM💥, I am blown away! This is because I didn't give up. I didn't let one bad week make me throw in the towel. I stayed strong, I stuck to the protocol and eventually "WOOSH"... the weight came off! I feel like I'm riding high on this momentum. I'm excited to see what the next week will bring! I feel focused and determined to make this next week count! ⚫️This week I will focus on : ❇️ keeping variety in my vegetables. It's so easy to always stick to my regulates-- Broccoli 🥦, cauliflower and cucumbers 🥒 ❇️ getting all my protein in🍖🥩--I get busy and I forget to eat, then I'm playing catch up at the end of the night ❇️ continuing to reach for savory over sweet treats ❇️ food journaling (keeps me accountable) Stay tuned for next week's results 🎆 ‼️‼️⬇️⬇️Check out my latest video ⬇️⬇️‼️‼️

✨️✨️✨️Coach Joanna here ✨️✨️✨️ Welcome back to My Weight loss journey ⚖️ I thought this week was going to be a great week, but my results fell short and I was really disappointed. When I saw the scale, I was frustrated. I'd done all the things. Things that went well: ✅️ I drank lots of water 💧 ✅️ I got in all my packets of protein ✅️ I managed to go 5 days without something sweet 🍪 ( my goal was to avoid sweets 4 or more days ✔️) ✅️ I made a solid effort to get 4cups of vegetables 🍅 in every day ✅️I even got my supplements organized However, I did miss 1 really important thing, and that was: ⛔️ food journaling- no excuses, just got busy and before I knew it the week was over and my food journal was left incomplete. Right now, I'm trying my best to give myself the gift of grace. I've had 4 amazing weeks, and getting my cycle is beyond my control. I'm not going to let a blip discourage me. Instead, I'm putting my SERIOUS hat 👒 on, and I'm going to make myself proud this next week. 💪This week I will focus on : ❇️ still trying to findsome new recipes for said vegetables 🥒 (if you've got something fun to share, please do) ❇️I'm also going to continue to avoid having a sweet treat every night (going to try and go 5 days again) ❇️ more meal prepping 🥩🍖 (feels like this is a reaccuring goal, however someone keeps eating my prepared meals -- it's me 😬 I keep eating them lol ❇️ organize my supplements 💊 ❇️ food Journaling (helps to keep my head in the game) Stay tuned for next week's results 🎆 ‼️‼️⬇️⬇️Check out my latest video ⬇️⬇️‼️‼️

✨️✨️✨️Coach Joanna here ✨️✨️✨️ Welcome back to My Weight loss journey ⚖️ This week was not at all what I had planned! My good intentions ran short. I did not follow through with any of my goals and was just hanging on for dear life. Things that went well: ✅️ I didn't cheat! I wasn't "bad" and I didn't eat anything off protocol 🥗 ✅️ I drank lots of water 💧 ✅️ I still found time to complete my food journal -🌟Check out my food journal in the comments below 🔽🔽🔽 ✅️ I managed to go 4 days without something sweet 🍪 ( crushing my goal of limiting sweets 3 days minimum 🏆) ✅️ I had some different vegetables... 🙈 (okay I ate some grape tomatoes 🍅 🤣) Things that could use more focus: ⛔️ vegetables 🫑 because I wasn't prepared, getting vegetables in was difficult. I always say, "the hardest vegetables to eat are the ones you have to prepare" ⛔️ supplements 💊 (I didn't make time to organize my supplements, as mentioned last week, if they aren't organized, you forget to take them) This week may not have gone as planned, but I'm happy to see it was still successful. I'm proud that I stuck to the protocol even when things were tough and cheating would have been the "easier" answer. 💪This week I will focus on : ❇️getting my vegetables in ❇️finding some new recipes for said vegetables 🥒 ❇️I'm also going to continue to avoid having a sweet treat every night (can I get through more than 4 days without a sweet treat?) ❇️ meal prepping 🥩🍖 ❇️ organize my supplements 💊 This next week will hopefully be a smoother ride. Stay tuned for next week's results 🎆 (I'm going to go organize my supplements 💊) ‼️‼️⬇️⬇️Check out my latest video ⬇️⬇️‼️‼️

✨️✨️✨️Coach Joanna here ✨️✨️✨️ Welcome back to My Weight loss journey ⚖️ This week was what I would call a good week! I didn't feel overly hungry and there wasn't temptation around every corner. A few places I ran short was: ❌️ vegetables (there were a few days where I didn't get enough) ❌️ supplements (I use a pill caddy 💊 and I forgot to fill it up and as a result I missed a few days of my supplements ❌️sweet treats- 5/7 days I had a sweet treat (I'm wanting to make sweet treats a special snack, not a daily expectation) Despite those challenges, I still feel like it was a good week. All because you admit there are areas that could use more focus doesn't mean you did anything wrong, it just means you can strive to do better. 🌟Everyday may not be perfect, but every day brings the opportunity to do better! This week my goals were to limit sweet treat intake, focus on my water 💧 intake and meal prep. While I had success in 2/3 of these goals, I'm going to carry forward the goal to limit my sweet treats. ✅️One thing I am keeping up with is my food Journaling 📃 🌟Check out my food journal in the comments below 🔽🔽🔽 This week, my goals will be to: 〰️MEAL PREP VEGETABLES 🥒- variety is the source of life. While my soups are a great convenient way to get my veg in, I don't want to get sick of them and then be in trouble. This week I am going to find a new method to batch cook some vegetables! 〰️SUPPLEMENTS 💊 - I will organize the next two weeks of supplements... because let's be honest, if they aren't organized and ready to grab, I forget to take them 〰️ SWEET TREATS 🍪 - I'm going to continue to try and limit my sweet treats. I'm going to make it to 3 Days without a sweet treat... MINIMUM! I'm feeling excited and motivated to see what the next week holds. Stay tuned for next week's results 🎆 ‼️‼️⬇️⬇️Check out my latest video ⬇️⬇️‼

✨️✨️✨️Coach Joanna here ✨️✨️✨️ Welcome back to My Weight loss journey ⚖️ This week was a hard week. I did all the things. ✅️ I meal prepped ✅️ I drank my water ✅️ I ate my veggies But temptation was all over the place. The truth is sometimes you can't avoid it. As I mentioned, will power fatigue is a thing, and is real! The other thing is, will power is a muscle, and it must be exercised regularly. So while I was definitely exercising my will power, by the end of the weekend I found myself very overwhelmed and hungry. The one thing that really got me through was reminding myself that at the end of the week, I would be proud or disappointed. It would all come down to my decisions. And it would be my choice. So I spent the night drinking more water, and eating another product, and proved to myself that I could make myself proud! We need to acknowledge these little wins! This is a non-scale victory! I beat temptation and came through with a loss, but most importantly, proved that I can overcome these kinds of challenges! This week my goals were to focus on Meal Prepping 📃 and my water 💧 intake: ✅️ I made some delicious soups and the Shwarma Chicken over the weekend and have been reaping those rewards through the week! It makes life so much easier when I get home and am ready to eat "NOW!" ✅️ WATER WATER EVERYWHERE💦! I have really been focusing on my water intake. I make sure to drink 2 big glasses of water when I wake up, and 1 cup of water before I eat anything. I find this helpful because even if I get busy and forget to drink my water between meals, I've still gotten more than half of my intake in by the end of the day. It's so much easier to drink 1-2 cups of water before bed then 8 lol😉 ✅️ I am still holding myself accountable to food Journaling every day 📃! This is an essential piece of the puzzle for success. 🌟Check out my food journal in the comments below

✨️✨️✨️Coach Joanna here ✨️✨️✨️ Welcome back to My Weight loss journey ⚖️ I was a little anxious getting on the scale today. I did something I've never done and I went into my weigh in blind. Needless to say, my worries for nothing, and I was very happy with the results. Getting on the scale everyday may seem like a helpful motivational tool, but the truth is it can really mess with your head. There are so many things that can cause daily weight fluctuations; water, salt, bolidy movements 💩 and red 🍖. This is why I tell clients that while you can get on the scale daily, really keep the focus on your weekly weigh ins. This is also a big reason why we as coaches try to get you to come in at similar times each week, and why I swear you need to have specific weigh in under garmets 👙. This week went really well, it felt good to be back in routine and I noticed a difference right away. This week my goals were to focus on food Journaling 📃 and my water 💧 intake: ✅️I managed to keep up with my food journal everyday, which broght to my attention the fact that I missed a few snacks this week and sometimes I was eating more at for dinner because I'd forgotten to eat during the day 😅 🌟Check out my food journal in the comments below 🔽🔽🔽 ✅️As far as getting my water intake in, I found this easy (if you don't count all the troops to the bathroom 💦). I rally embraced carrying my water bottle with the wherever I went. I also made a point of drinking 2 cups of water as soon as I woke up, and drank a minimum of 1 cup of water before eating. I find this is helpful to make yourself feel full. In addition to being on program 100%, I'm feeling great thanks to Contour Light 🟥 and Sculptique. If you haven't tried these services yet, I highly recommend changing that! 💫Contour light is amazing for helping flush stubborn fat cells, this assists with weight and inch loss. It is also great

✨️✨️✨️Coach Joanna here ✨️✨️✨️ Welcome back to My Weight loss journey ⚖️ January 1st, and I am here with the "New Year, New You" mentality. I faced the music, got on the scale and made a plan. I know I've been MIA the past few months, but this brings up an important reminder. I want to reach out to anyone who has fallen off protocol for any reason and remind you that "failure isn't falling down, failure is refusing to get back up!" And that is what I'm doing. I am getting back up! And the truth is you can too! The team here at Positive Transitions is here for you. We want you to be successful, we want to help you achieve your goals. Whether it's been a few months or a few years, we are here for you without judgement💜 With the New Year, I am bringing forward new goals. I don't just want to lose my weight. I want to keep it off. The big step there is reaching phase off and achieving maintenance! That is what is different about our program. We offer a 3 Phase program that doesn't only help you lose the weight, but keep it off too. I'm excited to be getting back on protocol and holding myself accountable to my goals. I'm excited about feeling more in control and feeling proud of myself. The big thing I am going to focus on this week is Food Journaling 📃. This is a great way to hold yourself accountable to the program. If you bite it, write it! And that's exactly what I'm going to do. 🌟Keep your eyes peeled 👀 next week for my food journal in the comments 🌟 Another big focus is going to be drinking my water. The only way the body can excrete fat is by peeing it out, so I need to focus get my flush on 💧 I'm excited to see what I can accomplish in a week, so stay tuned for next week's results 🎆 ‼️‼️⬇️⬇️Check out my latest video ⬇️⬇️‼️‼️

✨️ Coach Joanna here ✨️ Welcome back to My Weight loss journey ⚖️ I had all intentions for a bang, but this week turned into a fizzle. Despite eating the sheet and sticking to protocol, the scale didn't fully show my efforts. Normally when I weigh in, I am fasted. I weigh in first thing is the morning before eating or drinking ANYTHING. Needless to say, 2 cups of coffee into my morning the scale left me feeling disappointed. This is the importance of consistency with your weigh ins. If you are weighing in at different times, it can make it difficult to see results. You still see the results in the long run, but week to week can be frustrating. My suggestion is to create a routine you follow on weigh in days. Right down to the undergarments you wear. Yes, I have weigh in panties and bra 👙 lol. This allows for consistency between weigh ins and measurements because then you don't have different lumps and bumps each week. Despite the weight not being what I hoped for, my disappointment was replaced with happiness when I saw my inches were down significantly. This is another important reminder that weight and inches aren't always reflective in the same way. Your weight could be down, but inches barely move and you wonder "where did it come off of?" Or vise versa. This is the importance of looking at the full picture during your weigh ins, not just the number on the scale. This week I was really trying to focus on my meal timing and it's still something I need to work on. The saying is "21 days to build a habit", but this simply is not true. There are alot of variables in habit forming: how big the habit is, how long you've done the habit you are trying to break or your level of commitment to the habit. Creating new habits involve regular diligence and focus. This is important when we talk about creating a new lifestyle, and not returning to our poor eating habits. 🌟 check out my food journal in the comments 🌟 Over
