Goals 🎯

Throughout the year, we often hear about the importance of defining goals. But what does that actually involve? Is it merely jotting down your aspirations? While it's not that simple, it does mark the initial step. Having our goals visibly displayed aids us in tracking our direction and development.

In the spirit of moving swiftly, I have outlined my objectives! Look out world, I'm ready to bounce back! I've committed to attending an underwater aerobics class once a week, combined with home workouts. This unique class utilizes treadmills and bicycles underwater, showcasing the wonders of our advanced world. My hope is that the water's buoyancy will lessen the impact on my pain-filled body, which typically hovers around a 5-6 out of 10 on the pain scale. Currently, it's escalated to a 7 or 8 due to a flare-up from either arthritis or Fibromyalgia, a mystery that will be unraveled on 9/12 and follow me on TikTok @Karzy19

Progress is evident. By documenting my goal, I can assess my progress weekly. Additionally, I have a nutritionist appointment scheduled for Friday to gain insight into how my food choices affect inflammation. Meanwhile, I've started emphasizing more nutritious eating habits. Feel free to watch a video showcasing my daily food intake.

When embarking on a health journey, remember the primary step is to WRITE down your goals. Regular self-assessments each week are crucial for an honest evaluation of your advancement. During these check-ins, adjust your goals and actions accordingly. Remember, transforming your life is not a race but rather a serene stroll along various paths.

Progress

Losing 7+ pounds this month has been disheartening, but reflecting on this week, I can see that my efforts were focused and successful. Being mindful of my choices when it comes to eating and distinguishing between my needs and thoughts is a continuous process, but it has proven effective this week. I am only 2 lbs away from reaching my lowest weight on this journey. Just 3.3 more pounds to go, and I'll reach a new milestone...a new set of numbers and my smallest size in 7 years! I am committed to continuing because good health has overwhelmingly positive effects. Since recommitting to my health journey two weeks ago, I have noticed increased energy, focus, confidence, and a feeling of security. It's incredible how food affects both my mind and body. I have been diligently preparing healthy meals for my family. Transitioning to healthier cooking has had its challenges, but I know it's beneficial for my family of six. Not only is it cost-effective, but it’s delicious. One of...

New Years Resolution

I've been in survival mode, navigating through a whirlwind of changes. To protect my mental well-being, I've focused on maintaining my weight rather than losing it. It's essential to prioritize mental health sometimes, without using it as an excuse to gain weight. Learning from past mistakes, I'm proud to have successfully maintained my weight, keeping a 70-pound loss. I'm just 33.3 pounds away from reaching the 200s, aiming to hit my 100-pound weight loss by the end of 2024 - a challenge with the upcoming holiday season approaching. But a challenge I accept! Although the holidays will be different this year due to my husband's demanding job, I cherish the importance of family over traditions. My family, including my son and stepchildren, motivates me to continue my health journey. Despite recent physical pain, I am awaiting test results next Thursday, hoping for treatment options. This could shift my focus back to my weight loss journey. Regardless of the outco...

Liberation

I felt an incredible sense of liberation! With my hefty 300+lb frame tense, I cautiously stepped into the water. Uncertain of my ability, I decided to give it a shot! My toes curled up inside my aqua shoes as I approached the anti-gravity treadmill. With a deep breath, I placed one foot on it... swoosh! It unexpectedly began moving beneath my weight. Apparently, that's how it's meant to operate. I was caught off guard... I wasn't prepared for the physical liberation my sore body experienced! After 15 years, I was running again! My instructor praised my impeccable form! I couldn't help but feel immensely proud. While pushing myself in my aquatic class last night, I noticed an unexpected reaction. A beaming smile graced my face as I radiated with joy! Did it hurt? Yes, but it also felt incredibly rewarding. Sometimes, we must take a leap of faith towards our aspirations and dive into life's ever-turning treadmill!
