Hit my fitness goal: 65+ lbs lost in 9 months 💪🏼
The first slide is me last Tuesday — happy and healthy. Slides 3–10? Last summer, when I was at my heaviest and, honestly, my most out-of-sync self.
When we got back from a trip on September 26th, I weighed in at 263.5 lbs. That same day, I told myself it was time to take my health seriously. I more or less dropped my bags and headed to the gym later that day. I set a goal: lose 65 lbs by the end of June — just in time for Hoopfest.
Last year’s Hoopfest was a wake-up call. I was huffing and puffing hard out there, struggling to keep up. It didn’t feel like me. That stuck with me.
There were a lot of little moments along the way that fueled me to keep going — one of the biggest being this project, Heavywait. Shooting videos and photos for it made me confront myself more than I ever had before. It pushed me — emotionally, mentally, physically. I wasn’t used to putting myself on a front and center display like I was with this solo project. Ultimately, this project is and has been about shedding weight in more ways than one… hence the Heavywait.
I started running in the fall. Then I fell in love with running by winter.
I ran a half marathon in April with ease (slides 11–12), and I’m already training for the next.
I got back to hooping multiple times a week.
I changed the way I ate.
I embraced a lifestyle that I feel at home in now.
Fast forward to this past weekend… and we won Hoopfest. I would’ve been content either way win or lose — but pulling out the W felt like a little kiss from the universe. A full-circle moment.
I’m excited about what’s next. But more than anything, I feel young again. I feel me again. And I feel present in my body.
