Throughout our nutrition journey, whether that be to reach our weight loss goals or peak performance goals, it is so easy to get caught up on just going through the motions. Many of us start to operate on automatic, focusing on what needs to be checked off of the to do list each day in order to make progress. In doing so, we fixate on the very obvious markers of progress: the number on the scale, the inches around our waist, and the size of our clothes.
Life is a beautiful, crazy adventure. An experience full of highs and lows, laughs and cries, good times and not so good times. We are all human going through different chapters of our lives and progress occurs in so many different ways. Progress is not just the number you see on the scale, the number of inches around your waist, or what size clothes you wear. Progress is the outcome of many life events that has lead you to where you are today. It is creating new habits, gaining strength, growing as in individual, and healing any broken pieces along the way. It’s learning to fully embrace who YOU are and live authentically true to yourself.
