Back to EpisodesThe Scale Hasn't Moved in 8 Months and I've Never Felt Better — Why I Stopped Chasing a Number
Description
In this episode I share my journey of personal growth and self-improvement over the past eight months, focusing on my approach to movement and fitness. Rather than sticking to traditional New Year's resolutions, I emphasize the importance of setting achievable goals that align with my lifestyle. I also discuss my commitment to reaching 10,000 steps a day and how I've learned to listen to my body, balancing fun activities with more intense workouts. I reflect on my past experiences with fitness, including running a half marathon, and how those experiences shape my current mindset towards movement and health.
I also dive into my evolving relationship with food, particularly sugar (it's definitely an addiction). I share my desire to enjoy treats without obsessing over them, aiming for a healthier balance. Through mindfulness and reflection, I am working on being present during meals and understanding my body's needs. I encourage all y'all to reflect on your own goals and methods of self-improvement, emphasizing the importance of self-care and the impact it has on overall well-being. My message is one of empowerment, encouraging everyone to take small steps towards your goals and to embrace your unique journeys.
