February 2023

Started my weight loss journey a year ago. Started at 204lbs and I was always tired and had little to no energy to do anything. I was depressed and I started eating my depression away. Then my doctor said I was pre pre diabetic and if I didn’t take care of myself I was going to end up diabetic. That was a huge eye opener for me! I cut sugar from everything stopped drinking soda, coffee would only have a milk or almond milk with no sugar. I eat smaller portions with more protein and eat lots of greens. I went to the gym and started my workout routine. Many may see the pictures and say that don’t see a difference but I do and I’m so thankful I changed. I wake up with so much energy now. Now I haven’t been to the gym for 2 weeks already because I got 2 jobs now but I’m going to the gym this week. I have to squeeze the gym in my agenda because the gym to me is like my therapy now.❤️ 2024 is to a health me and for my kids. If I can do it so can you!❤️ #healthylifestyle2024

... Read moreThe journey to a healthier lifestyle often begins with a wake-up call, as I experienced a year ago when warned about pre-diabetes. It’s essential to understand your health metrics to prevent serious conditions. Reducing sugar intake is one of the most significant changes, leading to better energy levels and overall wellness. Many people think that minor adjustments won’t make a big difference, but consistency and commitment will yield remarkable results. Incorporating more protein and leafy greens into your diet not only helps in weight loss but also provides essential nutrients. Exercise plays a crucial role as well; whether in a gym or through simple daily activities, staying active can elevate your mood and mental health. Planning gym sessions around a busy schedule is vital but rewarding. Creating a support system, such as joining community groups or engaging with like-minded individuals on platforms like Lemon8, can motivate you further. Remember, every step counts. Setting realistic goals for 2024 can help you stay focused on your health journey. You don't have to do it alone; sharing stories and tips can inspire others and keep you accountable. The path to better health is always worth it, and with dedication, anyone can transform their life for the better.

february themes through the years
I think I like showing my progress throughout my journey even tho my first year makes me cringe a little. I just wanna show that you don’t have to be good at art or a great drawer to start bullet journaling because it’s such a vast concept and I think it’s really good to explore what you can do

what an evolution! i'm still in shock. i don't know whether to laugh or cry we were involved in a road rage incident in which a man came into our lane (the left straight lane) from the left turn lane, jumped in front of us and then jammed on the brakes. 45 to 0 in like, 2 seconds.
