A year apart before and after and the real goal was never about the number on the scale. It was about getting healthier overall. Over the past year, I focused on improving my well being, and every one of my health markers has moved in a positive direction. The 45-pound weight loss wasn’t the objective; it simply became a byproduct of prioritizing better habits, consistency, and taking care of my body. Feeling stronger, healthier, and more balanced has been the true success, and the progress reflects that commitment.
