Here I am again, starting over. What else am I gonna do?
Here’s the thing, I started my health journey for one reason, to feel better.
Not feeling good about my life led to being on autopilot, depression, feeling overwhelmed and having zero energy.
I got my health certification to learn all I could. I learned the value of personal development work. I added in Beachbody products because I liked the convenience of their products & they gave me a community of support.
I met my goals. I am truly happy again. I do not dread my days. I have more energy than I have had in 20 years. I’ve even taken my successes and trainings and am helping other women get healthy. I love that!
But…I’m still 50 pounds overweight. I’m 5’4” and weigh 184 pounds. I carry my extra weight in my stomach. I have a family history of diabetes, cholesterol and cancer. All conditions that a heavier stomach can increase my chances of developing. I also suffer from plantars fasciitis in my foot. The more weight I have on it, the more painful it is.
The scale isn’t the most important factor of health, I do believe this! I have lost a lot of inches over the years. I’m so proud of how far I’ve came.
But at the end of the day I still have work to do.
The scale isn’t moving because I am not consistent. I know what to do, what to eat, I just don’t do it as much as I should. I have been doing just enough to feel good but not make the physical progress I need.
Yes I could be frustrated to start over, but I try not to think of it as starting over. I set goals and met them. Now is time for new goals.
Getting and staying healthy is a lifelong process. I don’t plan to ever stop evaluating and changing course when needed.
I’m sharing this as accountability for myself and a pledge to keep going. To keep trying.
To keep showing up.
To lead the way for other women on the same struggle.
Who is ready to set new goals and go after them with me?
