I hit 10k+ steps today! And I’m so proud of myself. I skipped my morning walk because it got cold here. I’ve been aiming for 1 mile walks, daily. Sunday I rested, so only got about 4K steps. All week I averaged about 7k steps. So I went to the gym after work and my goal was 45 minutes on the treadmill. Once I got past the 45 minutes I was almost two miles in, so I kept going! I ended up walking 2.42 miles. Felt good. I’m a little tired now but I know once I get some sleep I’ll feel better by morning. So calling it a night. 😴

Hello! I’m Brandy and I live in Southern Illinois. I’m looking forward to gaining some clarity on a healthier lifestyle and weight loss. Over 3 years I had to have 2 back to back emergency surgeries on my back. After those surgeries I gained about 60lbs.

I know we’re all here for different reasons, but I’m working on building my discipline (along with some other good stuff). I started a note file in my phone called “Learning Discipline to Be Committed to the Process” I’ll play these videos on hard days as part of my self-talk to keep me moving and progressing on those process goals. Sharing the link in case it helps someone else too. https://youtu.be/xR6KinqYxNAsi=6DCdKL2JLesErt

The Root Cause Reset section… wow 🤯, these stats are eye-opening. It really shifts how you think about food—not just as something that tastes good, but as support for our body systems. Both matter, but honestly, I've definitely leaned more toward one than the other 😅. I love learning how connected everything in our bodies really are and how it all affects each other, for better or worse. Very informative!
