Striving for Health & Simplicity

Have you ever stood on the scale but the number hasn't moved? Yet you feel like something changed that week. The year 2017 has started off with a bang! I can't believe we're already half way through January. I don't always want to be sharing the scale victories because I believe a weight loss or life style change journey has many different parts. My journey to a healthier life was brought on due to medical reasons, so the one goal I had was to get to the weight recommended, I didn't think about all the additional bonuses that would come along with that. Presenting you with my top five non-scale victories! 1) Awareness- As mentioned above my journey to a healthier lifestyle was brought on due to medical reasons. I did not realize when I started that I would have such success in creating a new lifestyle. It's a lifestyle I want others to know about, especially those with PCOS. Often my response to being asked why I'm doing this is just for health reasons...

It's hard to believe that the year 2016 is officially over and we are into the year 2017! 2016 was filled with job changes, home buying, family members passing away, and engagement. At the beginning of 2016 I did not imagine that any of those events would happen, but it goes to show you that sometimes our plans are not always the plans we are meant to follow. 2017 will bring with it many more adventures and I can't wait! Many individuals have chosen words to carry them through the year 2017. Individual words for the year are a fantastic way to stay motivated! I've chosen the words health and gratitude to carry through this year. I want to create a culture of health and gratitude in my life and my home. The word health for me means that I will make choices in my everyday life that bring the best quality of life to my body whether it be physically, mentally, or emotionally. The word gratitude for me is a way to remember to be thankful for the everyday occurrences, no matt...
