Happy New Year!
I’m so glad to be back here with Episode 16 of my walking podcast. It’s a cold, chilly afternoon here in Texas with a lot of wind which makes this episode a little windy, but we’re all moving and grooving so I hope you don’t mind!
The holidays were filled with family, fun, and relaxation which was just what we needed. I laughed looking at this picture because I used to try to hide in any photo and it was impossible, my weight was always front and center. But now, my kids are so big, and I’m short so they hide me anyway!
My mom got to visit for Christmas. She is down 250+ pounds and I just love that we get to experience this new life together! You can find her on Youtube to hear more of her amazing story!
As we embark on this new year, I am energized to share more about my journey to health. I have been maintaining my weight with the help of weight loss meds, but have been slowly weaning off.
Life post glp-1s is kind of new frontier so I’m just making it up as I go! But I want to share for others who are also on this journey so decided to start a new Instagram account.
Find me at @small.things.daily where I’ll be sharing the nitty gritty of what I did to lose 125 pounds and the daily habits I’m focused on now for maintenance. If you want me to answer a specific question, send me a message and I’ll do my best!
In today’s episode, I dive into how small habits are the backbone of my success- and hopefully yours!
When staring at a mountain before a climb, it seems insurmountable. But each step is not impossible. Each individual step might even seem easy. Put all of those easy steps together and you will have climbed the mountain.
I started small with the most inconsequential habits.
Step one: Get out of bed as soon as I wake up instead of wasting an hour on my phone.
Step two: Weigh myself daily. This helps me get information about how my daily choices are affecting my body.
Step three: Put on workout clothes.
Step four: Drink a full glass of water with my supplements.
Once I’ve done these things, I have set myself up for success for the day. I have poured more love and care into myself with these small things than I gave myself for years.
Don’t underestimate the small things!
