If it doesn't challenge you it doesn't change you.
If it doesn’t challenge you it doesn’t change you. This quote. I love. Throughout our story things challenge us. Through those challenges comes change. Change can be darn hard. You wonder how the change will affect you. Those around you. Will it impact you? Others? Will you embrace it? Or be fearful of it? Will you allow yourself the opportunity for growth knowing the change will be difficult? That is the cool thing about life’s challenges. We will all face them. How we respond. How I respond. Is up to us. I made the hardest change in my life a couple weeks ago. I canceled my WW membership. One of the hardest things I have ever done. Why? Because that program, with God’s guidance and strength, helped me get my life back. 4 years of hard work and consistency.
Why did I decide to stop WW? As difficult of a decision it was. Our WW studio closed their doors. I know that WW has an online only option but for me I need the accountability and one on one structure. One thing I have realized throughout my journey what has helped me be so successful is the support system. With our studio being closed I felt it was for the best to make a change. Although it was hard. I realized that I can do this no matter what. This is not WW’s fault. It’s mine. I need structure. I need a challenge. I need support. Also, during this difficult season I needed a change. So I decided to meet with my precious friend Melissa. She is an registered dietitian and a good friend. That day August 11th. I was able to have check in and start my new journey back to a healthy weight and life. Not solely focused on the scale number but looking at all the numbers. Muscle. Water. Fat. Etc., Not a weight that is unobtainable but healthy. For me. No one else. Me. I have to do this. I needed this. For me. I am so thankful to have Melissa and MyVitality to check in for support and accountability. This is a lifestyle not a diet. I will reach my goals. I’m determined. I’m ready.
This where my journey changes. Changes for the better. Better living. Better challenges. Better food choices. Better workouts. Better days and moments ahead. It’s not what you do that defines you, it’s how you embrace it. Taking that challenge. That moment and living. Living fully. With much grace. Still learning. Still growing. Embracing the what ifs. And the have nots. Truly finding yourself and digging deep. Loving the process. This journey. This story. Of yours. Of mine. Is our own. Don’t allow what others are doing to be your deciding factor. Do YOU! We are all unique. No one is alike. We have to do what’s best for us. Finding that balance. That structure. Drive. Consistency. Strength. Determination. Growth. One day at a time.
Are you ready? I am. Let’s do this together. No matter where you are in your journey. No matter how you are living it. We can do this together. With different dreams and goals. It’s one beautiful thing. This thing called life. These challenges. Change YOU. Change ME. I’m here for that challenge. To see the INCREDIBLE CHANGE. I can’ t wait to see yours!
