What does a healthy lifestyle look like to you? It looks different from person to person, but you’d think it’d be the same for everybody.

Staying consistent and motivated with health & fitness is hard! It is hard for almost every aspect of life, especially when it comes to managing your time and keeping on top of your health and fitness. There are so many distractions around; social media, shopping days with friends, the pile of laundry that’s been waiting for days, the coffee date with friends, or the new Netflix series that you’ve been meaning to binge. I’m sure, like most of us, you wake up with all the best intentions, but before you know it, the day is over. We’ve all been there.

I can’t even believe I am writing my 12 month weight loss update. A whole 12 months of hard work and dedication. I can’t believe I have got to this point. I dreamt of the day that I got to write a 12 month update here on my blog. Losing weight always felt so impossible for me. I had so many things working against me, but here I am.

I can’t see my life being any other way.

I cannot quite believe that my 10 month update has come around so quickly. In one way time has gone so fast and in others it has gone so slow. I started this journey back in April 2021, without any idea how long I would be going for. Looking back at pictures and videos of myself back then is almost like looking at a stranger.

Something I noticed during my weight loss journey is how people treated me different after losing weight. As many of you know, I have been on my fitness journey now for nearly 9 months. I have had to continuously learn better eating habits without letting old habits creep back in. And throughout this journey I have learnt so much about myself and who I am.
