​

Welcome! My name is Danielle. I am 37 years old, mother of 2, a dog mom, and an IT Professional.

 

I decided to create this blog as a safe space for women who, like me, decided to start taking their health more seriously. Like a lot of women, I spent my twenties partying, enjoying my freedom, eating whatever I wanted whenever I wanted, and avoiding accountability. I overindulged in all the wrong things, and not once did it ever occur to me that at some point, my choices would catch up with me.  Once I reached my thirties, I noticed my choices starting to catch up with me. Looking at candid photos of myself was humbling at best. I had to come to terms with the fact that I was losing control and I didn't know how to turn things around. I was overweight and depressed. I wasn't proud of the person who was looking back at me in the mirror; I didn't even know who she was.

​

My story may not be the same as yours. You might have found yourself in a similar predicament after dealing with other health concerns, pregnancies, taking care of vulnerable family members, abusive relationships, or mental health issues. The most important thing now is that you are, in this moment, ready to find yourself again. Recognizing that is the first, and probably most important step!

 

The weight loss journey is a physical, emotional, and spiritual process. It involves being honest with yourself, facing your demons, reprogramming your mind, and leaving your old self behind. It involves finding your confidence. It involves replacing bad habits with new, healthier ones. It involves deciding that you are capable of anything that you put your mind to.  

 

The purpose of this blog is to help you unburden your mind, restore your body, and feed your soul. I pray that you find support and gentle encouragement here, as you embark on your journey. I am not a personal trainer or a dietician. I am simply a fitness enthusiast who understands that there is no linear path to fitness, and the information provided here is intended to motivate and support you along the way.

 

Thank you for visiting my blog. Your support means the world to me  🫶🏾
