As I head into my birthday week this week and wrap up #Chapter48, I’ve been reflecting on the sustainable health and wellness habits that truly make a difference in day-to-day life. ☀️
1) First up: Intentional travel preparation! ✈️
I’m currently on my way to San Diego, California to connect with my incredible Virta Health teammates!!! 💙 Traveling can easily throw off routines, but staying aligned with your wellness goals simply comes down to planning ahead. For this flight, I packed my favorite Trader Joe’s organic seaweed snacks, some Chomps organic grass fed – grass finished beef sticks and grabbed a large bottle of Smart water at the airport to stay hydrated at 30,000 feet! ✈️
Choosing nutrient-dense options becomes effortless when you shift your mindset from restriction to impact: How is this food or drink supporting my metabolic health and/or mental health? I choose to fuel my body with foods that actively serve my energy, clarity, and wellness goals, not hinder them. It’s a simple practice, but consistent choices compound over time! 💪🏾
I’m a living witness to the compounding impact of consistently making #healthy choices. So far this year I’ve reduced my A1c to 5.3, previously it was 6.0 in the pre-diabetes range in January 2025 and the highest it’s ever been was 6.4. I also have achieved the lowest weight that I’ve ever known in my entire adult life this year. 📉 I’m only 12 pounds away from reaching my overall total weight loss goal of losing 100 pounds! 💪🏾 At my heaviest I was 270 pounds, but I decided in #Chapter48 that I was not going to go into the next year doing the same thing, hoping for a different result.
In order to pivot and transform your health trajectory/story, it’s important that you set goals, shift your mindset, your habits, your choices, engage with your health care team (health coaches, providers, etc.) and lock-in. 🔐 Your motivation to achieve your goals has to exceed anything that could hinder you from achieving them. ✨️ Having a Health Coach on your care team can make a really BIG difference with supporting you on this. I’m truly grateful for my Virta Health, Health Coach and I’m super excited to carry this preparation/compounding mindset forward as I step into #Chapter49 this #WellnessWednesday! 🥳
What is your go-to healthy travel essential food/drink? Let’s get it!!! 🔥
Thanks for reading 📚. Make this week, healthy, active and AMAZING! ✨️
