Lifted You Weight Loss

Hopping on here today to let you know I am taking a few weeks to get my feet back under me. Writing, recording, getting a little ahead, and starting a new job! Nothing serious, I just need to breathe for a little minute! Love you and see you in a few weeks! -Annie 

For years, going to the doctor filled me with dread. I postponed appointments, made promises to myself about losing weight first, worried about bloodwork, and carried so much shame around my health. Today I simply went. No dread. No lost sleep. No thoughts of rescheduling. I was down eight pounds from my last visit, my numbers were within normal limits, and I got to have a completely different con...

I could list ten hurdles on my personal weight loss path right now. We all have them and we each get frustrated by them. But what if we could just hop over them, move under them or just scoot them off our path? We can!

As I discovered, yet again this past week, big change does not always begin with a big, dramatic decision.

In this episode, I’m sharing simple physical and mental shifts that can create a surprisin...
