Yep. You read that right. I forgot I’ve been on my journey for so long, that I too had a starting point. Often people assume I’m just “the fitness person.” Although I’m happy to be the fitness person, I was not always all about fitness. I too have struggled with my health, confidence, and body image.

We are all beautiful, at all shapes, and sizes, and the most valuable lesson I have learned it to protect my health, and confidence cannot be bought. The most rewarding part of my entire journey has been the confidence I’ve gained.

I had a long post typed out, but just erased it and figured that would be better suited for a video or blog post. So, what I’ll leave you with is to remember to never compare you’re beginning to someone else’s end or middle. It’s so easy to get wrapped up in a comparison game, and we must stop.

Everyone who is now an expert was once a beginner, and everyone started somewhere. Remember, “a journey of a thousand miles behind with a single step.”
One of my goals I set out to hit in 2020 was to read more. Even though I got in a decent amount of books in 2019 (close to 50), I felt as if I could have read way more.
⠀
If you have been watching my stories you know I have some ambitious reading goals for this year, so today, I say down with a book in hand and just read. Keeping those promises to myself and making a little more time for me in the New Year.
