Mindset Makeovers

Down 2 lbs this week. Back to 100 lbs down. 115 da Down 2 lbs this week. Back to 100 lbs down. 115 days of exercise.

And I made a decision.

After six plus years, I'm leaving WW. It's the program that helped me build a foundation, and I wouldn't be where I am today without the lessons I learned. But it's time for a new season. By nature I'm resistant to change, so this decision didn't come easy — but it is overdue.

After all, pivots are a necessary part of the journey.

Happy Sunday! ☀️

100 lbs down — again. The first time I hit that m 100 lbs down — again.

The first time I hit that milestone was January 22, 2021. A lot has happened since then, and I've fought hard to get back here.

When I was here before, my advice was "no matter where you are in your journey, persist. Just stay the course."

I'd add to that now — if like me, you got lost somewhere along the way, make your way back. The comeback is worth it.

Weekly Update 💜 The scale told me 1.2 lbs down th Weekly Update 💜

The scale told me 1.2 lbs down this week, but the body scan told me the story behind it.

Down 4% body fat. Visceral fat down from 16 to 13. And my muscle mass remained stable.

Over the past 16 weeks my daily step count has increased by roughly 6k steps per day. I completed a 90-day fitness program and started a new 30-day strength program with @hasfit_official

And I added a goal for early 2027 — an unassisted pull-up. Started my arm hangs yesterday. We'll see! 😄

Happy Saturday! 🎉

The gym is a dangerous place. I don't go there any The gym is a dangerous place. I don't go there anymore. 😂

When I was in my early 20s I left the gym, stepped off the curb, and fell. It was the scene that ended my gym career for life.

So I work out at home now. Zero regrets.

Some days my life looks like weight loss right out Some days my life looks like weight loss right out of the textbook. But most days, it's a little unhinged.

The thing is, all of it fits the life I want — and isn't that the point?

This part of my journey has challenged me to let go of some really outdated diet culture rules. Like the one that tells you the salad section is the only part of the menu that concerns you.

Some days it's spaghetti squash. Other days it's ice cream. And now when I order the salad it's because I want it.

After all, the goal was never perfection — it's about building a life I enjoy waking up to.

Don't get so hung up on where you want to be that Don't get so hung up on where you want to be that you forget to make the most of where you are.

The journey is the best part. It stretches you in ways you don't expect, and sometimes it hurts. But that's where the growth lives.

Six years in, I'm still learning, still stretching, and still growing.

And I wouldn't skip this part for anything.

We're moving in early Spring 2027. So the purge ha We're moving in early Spring 2027. So the purge has begun. 📦

I tend to struggle with letting go — so this is no small task. I once saw a quote: "Let go or be dragged." And, more than once, I've been dragged.

My closet was kind of fun like shopping in my own little thrift shop. 

Then came the sentimental stuff, bins and bins of pictures, kids projects, and baby stuff, that one required tissues and time.

My husband's take is more practical -- "It's just stuff. Moments and memories that live forever in your head." Spoken like someone who doesn't have menopause brain. 😂

How many construction paper handprints does one person really need anyway? Apparently the answer is fewer than I thought!

And then there are the books. I have books all over this house. My husband has suggested I measure the linear footage so we can give the builder an idea of what we need for built-ins.

Now I need to purge AND do math?? 😂

More on the move later. 👀

I finished the 90-day @hasfit_official Menopausal I finished the 90-day @hasfit_official Menopausal Power Program today and I'm proud of that.

I'm down .8 this week — but more than that — I feel strong, healthy, and capable.

Looking forward to starting the next program on Monday!

Happy Saturday! 🎉
