Friends, I'm feeling a bit vulnerable sharing this, but also incredibly proud... I've officially lost 50 pounds! 🎉

This journey began back in October 2022 when I decided to make some changes. In June 2023, I started Ozempic as part of my plan, but I'm happy to share that I've been off it for two weeks now and feeling confident about maintaining my progress.

One of my not-so-secret weapons? Dancing my way to closing those Apple Watch rings at least 5 days a week! 💃

My stomach definitely growls more now than it did on Ozempic, but that's actually been a positive reminder - I've learned so much about my relationship with food and what my body truly needs versus wants.

Grateful for this journey and all I've learned along the way. Here's to health, happiness, and finding what works for YOU! ❤️ My Before and After pics...

This site was originally set up to document my journey to naturally lose 100 lbs. in 2 years.

It's probably obvious I haven't posted lately... As is the case for most people, I fell off the wagon and gained all my weight back and more. I've had enough of the yo-yo dieting and as of this year (the year I turn 50), I'm making some changes and am no longer dieting, but changing my habits. I began the 'Be Healthy every day' weekly planner and have changed my habits one day at a time. More updates to come!
