Describe your weight loss journey.: Started back in 2009. My ultimate goal used to revolve around getting the number on my scale as low as humanly possible… at any cost. Had this idea that being as small/light as possible would be the key to ultimate health/happiness. I was so very wrong. Fast forward about 13 years my goals currently revolve around optimizing my mental/physical health every single day & enjoying the journey because I’m in it for the long haul. I’m currently only like 10lbs lighter today than I was at the beginning of my journey back in 2009. I’ve been all over the board in terms of weight… but the evolving body composition tells a whole other story

What’s a skill you developed as a result of working through your weight loss process?: Trusting myself. I’m my best advocate!!

What has that skill led to outside of weight loss?: Having more confidence in all things I choose to partake in professionally and personally.

What advice would you give to someone working through their weight loss journey?: Don’t try to do it all at once… that’s a fast track to failure. But also, don’t be scared to fail!! The most successful people had to learn how to fail, first. Fail forward! Learn. Adapt. Grow. And make time for things that make you happy. Life is way too short.

What's something most people don't know about you that has nothing to do with weight loss?: I love American Sign Language!! Almost made it my career

‘I give myself grace. There are so many fad diets out there and not all of them are good for everyone especially someone like me who is a cancer survivor. I'm still learning about how different kinds of foods affect my body, what to eliminate especially before I run. Second, I think in order to live a healthy lifestyle, you need to have a balance of eating healthy, splurging on special occasions as long as it's not most days, but most importantly realize that what I eat and drink will impact my performance. Third, in order for me to be my best self, cardio needs to be incorporated at least 3 days a week as well as a day of yoga. Since having breast cancer, my bones have become brittle. I have learned that I need to incorporate strength training into my days as well. Last, I also know not to be too hard on myself if I've eaten poorly some days. I just decide to do better the next time and remember what my goal is as what I put in my body and how often I do the exercises I do will either help me reach it or keep me back.”
