Celebrating the sustainable active lifestyle that’s based around your preferences.
Own Your Own stuff! You can’t correct bad habits if you’re not willing to admit you have them. Once you do this, make a plan and start to Fail Forward...failing isn’t a bad thing, it’s the key to learning and creating success.
Inches matter more than the scale, but how you feel compared to how you felt is even more important and a great baseline to gauge what needs to continue.
I tried pretty much every popular diet between 1996 (I was a teenager) & 2012. I got sick of following rigid programs and started building my own active lifestyle by taking the components I liked from what I had tried, along with other things centered around my preferences.
I spent the better part of 15 years dieting. Weight loss was almost always on my mind. If I wasn’t analyzing every detail of my last meal, I was thinking about my next one. If the scale went up, I thought I should have eaten less and worked out more. If the scale went down, I usually questioned why it wasn’t lower. The entire time thinking that hitting a certain goal weight would make me happy. It never did. I don’t want you going through life this way.

For all the good things going on, I’m probably only in a positive mindset 70-80% of the time. You NEED to know, that nobody is always positive.
