change in weight (4/13/21 – 4/19/21): -1.6 LBS I went for a run this morning. I have slowly been getting into running with the goal of doing a 5k by the end of the month. I ran a 10:30ish mile and I was so stoked about this. I was stoked because this was not as fast …

change in weight (4/6/21 – 4/12/21): -2.2 LBS I recently read a quote that said "pay attention to those who go quiet when you are positive." I found this to be profound because we need to celebrate when we feel amazing. We need those around us to celebrate us when we feel amazing. This life is …

change in weight (3/2/21 – 3/8/21): -0.6 LBS I turned 33 on Sunday. Hurray for making it another year. It dawned on me earlier that I basically spent all of 32 in lockdown and that is just wild. An entire year with little contact with my friends, family, and coworkers. A full year of unknown and …
