This week was all about the mental game. From sleepless nights and wrestling with blood sugars to figuring out rest days and gym struggles, I had to remind myself that progress isn’t always linear but it’s still happening.
I talk about hitting my lowest weight yet, why weighing in every day actually helps me understand my body, and how even setbacks (like Metformin emergencies or uncomfortable cardio sessions) can teach me something.
Beyond fitness, I share honest thoughts about work, what truly fulfills me, and how I’m learning to stay disciplined in more areas of life. I also touch on candle testing updates, building community, and how the right mindset can fuel everything.
If you’re on your own journey, health, habits, or personal growth this one’s for you.
