My yearly progress

2024/12/16 Edited to

... Read moreReflecting on a year's journey can be both rewarding and empowering. In this piece, I explore how my life has changed since 1/6/23 through the lens of my gastric sleeve surgery journey. Managing weight loss isn't just about numbers; it encompasses emotional wellness, community support, and daily routines. The hashtag #baristalife signifies more than just a job; it represents a lifestyle that blends work with passion, allowing for personal growth. It’s integral to understanding this journey as I balance work and health, fueling my achievements with coffee as I build connections with customers. The challenges I faced post-surgery are real; yet, with the support from the #1yearpostop community, I found the motivation to push through obstacles. Engaging with others who've walked a similar path created a sense of belonging and provided insights that made all the difference. Losing 145 pounds is a significant milestone, but the journey consists of everyday choices that pave the path to success. My commitment to a healthier lifestyle means celebrating small victories, staying active, and continuously learning about nutrition. This journey isn't merely physical; it’s about nurturing a holistic approach to life. The hashtags of our experiences, like #gastricsleevejourney, aren't just labels—they symbolize shared struggles, victories, and encouragement among individuals who strive for progress. Join me as I delve deeper into what it means to transform not just the body, but also the spirit.

Yearly Reading Goal: ACHIEVED ✅
I have had to change my goal a few times this year, starting out at 25 (seeing as I only read 26 books last year), moving it to 36, then 60, and lastly to 80!! This was an incredible achievement for me! I will be moving it up to 100 for the next goal!! 😁😁😁
